I just found out that this style is called etching/engraving and I'm really excited about it for some reason😅. I always loved medieval looking drawings, tarot cards...gonna give this style a shot!

I think this is the first style that made me go 'wow that's really beautiful, I want that on my body'

Brucius did mine 6 years ago, still looking good. He’s a genius.

Amazing craftmanship in these tattoos damnnnn

This is absurdingly beautiful

didn't know how to describe the art style that I've been interested in, but now I know!

when etching and tattoo collided,it made a special and a very vintage style of art in the tattoo world that I like.maybe my next piece will be a etch piece.

Incredible! I'd want my first tattoo in this style.

You people tattooists are absolutely GREAT!!🤘🤘🤘

Etching is stunning

Holy shit.... this is how i do my art.. cool. Beautiful work and wonderful artists.

My very favorite style

Great segment on an underrated style. Rob Banks lol 😏

I want to see some in these in 15 years. I haven't seen enough to figure out if they will age poorly like a lot of water colored stuff..or blur out like a blown out tattoo. A lot of those lines are awfully close together..

@RoxyLovesMCR

Since the lines are so thin and close together, they will definitely start to blend together over time, but that shouldn't affect the quality of the tattoo or the look of it, since it will start to look a little more like a shaded tattoo than before, but still have the etched vibe. The same is true for dotwork.

I think it depends on how close together and how thin the lines are. I have a couple of these tattoos and they're about 6 years old now and still going strong, very well defined etc. Some of the ones shown on the video did seem like the lines were a bit too close and too thin, but I'm no expert.

It’s the same problem that happens in watercolor and realist tattoo, aging. Human body is constantly attacking the ink to break down. The thin light lines will disappear within a year. They look good new, but let’s see it in 2+ years

What about solid black lining doesn't age well? I have multiple tattoos made out of only lining, and dimension created from cross-hatching and line clusters has lasted FAR longer than any smooth, am-traditionalesque black to gray shading has on my body. Good artists know to avoid microthin lines and create these pieces out of really boldly applied lining. IME best lasting tattoos I have.

Idk really, lines are great, lines that close make me nervous. Ink blows out overtime I think the worst thing could happen is line shading(cross hatching) turns into regular shading haha

Yooooo

Solo una cosa no me gusta de este estilo. es que normalmente los tattoos con el tiempo expande sus lineas. y puede que en 10 o 15 años no se entienda tan bien. y todas las lineas se fusionarian. el estilo de etching se ve perfecto pero con los años no lo se...

@@sambridges4670 The style is called etching because it's derived from ~18th century lithographic art which so happened to use hatching. Hatching isn't the only thing which defines this style.

@sambridges4670

@@lameduck1690 I did some research just now. Lithography is a form of printmaking predicated on the natural repulsion between oil and water while etching is actually an older 17th century method that used black wax or acid resistant varnish so that when a page is dipped in acid it leaves behind dark marks known as a "bite". This actually relates to its origins as a German word that meant: cause to eat. My understanding is that these artists are etching only in the literal sense of injecting ink into to the body. In the drawing community this technique is referred to as hatching- a series of tightly placed lines. The only thing of note here is that they are actually using contour lines to define the form more than just plainly shading.

Must hurt alot lines do usually.

Hello there I wouldn’t say they are bad tattoos buy it is true they probably won’t age well generally past the 10 to 15 years plus but maybe longer with good care. This is just due to the natural ageing of the skin as well as that big bold lines in tattoos generally hold better over time than the thinner ones against blurring.

@Nobs606

Connor Howard makes sense. I would have thought the thinner lines would age into one another to create shading. But maybe that's just hopeful thinking
