Ep 106: Making art that lasts a lifetime (using only three tones)


In this special episode of The Color Timer Podcast, I head out on the road to visit award-winning tattoo artist Jhon Gutti in his LA studio. Originally trained as an architect in Colombia, Jhon has worked as a tattooist for over 10 years, with 20 years of practice under his belt, specializing in stunningly realistic black and grey tattoos.

During our conversation, Jhon shares his approach to:

  • Creating separation between the black ink and the skin tone
  • Selecting the right clients
  • Managing his three tones of black
  • Handling the uncontrollable variables of tattooing human skin.
