How to Tattoo 3RL Blackwork Surrealism with Ben Dunning
Our intrepid video team visited Six Bullets Tattoo Studio in London to get this masterclass on blackwork surrealism with the charming Ben Dunning!
The epic Six Bullets is always a pleasure to visit, with so many creative and lovely tattoo artists in one place, and we were thrilled that Ben could reveal a few of his tattoo secrets.
Check out the video to see Ben’s unique way of working, including his technique of tallying to create a drawing-style effect using just a 3 Round Liner.
We hope you enjoyed our tutorial with Ben Dunning - you can follow his work on Instagram or Facebook!
