negative shading

– Negative shading tattoo letters can distort details or fill them completely.
– Negative space tattoos use the skin as part of the image and ink pigments to create designs.
– They use the skin as the outline and the pigment as the normally “blank” parts of a design.
– Negative space tattoos are unique because they create a reverse image using the skin as the main subject.
– Black or colored ink is used to contrast with the skin and highlight the image.
– Negative space tattoos save time and resources by using shadow and light instead of intricate details.
– The location of the tattoo should be chosen carefully to avoid distortion of the design.
– Any design can be made into a negative space tattoo, but careful planning is required.
– Small intricate negative spaces may not age well as the color around them can blur and fill in the space.
