We had the pleasure of visiting Six Bullets Tattoo in London, home to a group of talented tattoo artists, including Tommy Farrow who we got to watch create an incredible horror hand piece!
The tattoo studio is decorated with stunning artwork we can only assume encourages creativity and experimenting with different styles amongst the artists that reside there. It was great to see where the magic happens and watch the process Tommy goes through when creating his unique and vibrant designs!
Check out the video for some invaluable tips from Tommy! He talks us through how to get the right level of saturation and how to create smooth shading with a pendulum motion when using a magnum needle. You can also see Tommy’s workstation to find out what supplies he uses and why they’re his go-to choices!
We hope you enjoyed this tutorial - make sure to follow his work for more horror and sci-fi designs on Instagram or check out Six Bullets Tattoo!
