In this YouTube video, Polish tattoo artist Alex Konti (Oleksandr Kontypailo) takes us through his tattoo creation process. <\/strong><\/p>\n In the beginning of the video, the artist shows us his tools; including his tattoo needles and inks and before he starts working on his client’s skin, he shows us the settings on his tattoo machine. I personally enjoy watching tattoo videos for the artistic value, but by including some of his technical process, YouTuber Konti cleverly offers this data-candy to the tattoo geeks out there – the people who like to know what tools, products, brands and tool settings the artist is using.<\/p>\n The design that Alex is using is esoteric in nature; combining elements of spirituality, physics and emotions. The beautiful eye that is the central subject of this tattoo is rendered in a realistic style that involves creating soft gradients; the “shading” in the iris, along with high contrasts between the areas of dense black tattoo ink and the areas of skin that have been left ink-free.<\/p>\n
