New Digital Download News!
Ok, back to business! I have had requests to make my first 2 DVDs available via digital download. Good news! I will be releasing "Keep it Real 2" the black and grey edition for download first. Look for it in the next couple of days on www.tattoosbykeith.com
If it does well I will also make KIRV1 available next.
We have so much archived video to offer. Response to DD has been overwhelmingly positive. It also makes it possible for me to get it to you faster, and a wider range of content. Some DD content will be as low as $1.99! Thanks for your support. It helps us do more for you!

Tattooing Tips....
Recently got a question about how to make a fish look "wet" underwater in a tattoo. Just thought I'd share the answer with all of you in case you are problem solving something similar.
Ok. Funny thing. If a fish is under water, it doesn't look "wet". Why is that? Because all of the light on the fish is diffused because it's passing through the water. If a "wet" fish is on a table however, it will have sharp, bright highlights. Sharp highlights denote gloss, soft ones denote a more matte surface.
My last piece of advice is look at photography of your subject, even if you aren't copying a photo. Reality has all the answers when it comes to light, shade.
Hope this helps!

Nomad Brush for iPad! Yes, I said a BRUSH for iPad! And it works pretty sweet!
Crazy huh? Half conductive fibers and half natural hair. No friction at all. Whispers on the glass. Fun! The App is ArtRage.

Guess Who?
Guess which one I did?...Anyway, it's all a part of having so much of my work out in public. This is far from the first time I've had an original design lifted and I'm sure it won't be the last. If you know the artist's name please DO NOT post it. I know who it is, and it is not my intention to embarrass or humiliate the artist. It is also not my intention to ADVERTISE the artist. I just want to post this as a public service to all of you who are looking for a tattoo artist. Look carefully at their work. If nothing in their portfolio resembles the type of tattoo or level of quality you are looking for, then keep looking. For all I know the client is very happy about what they got. I can only hope so. ~K
