Tattoo artists are making a gradual conversion to digital, and the iPad Pro is proving to be a catalyst for an industry that so far has only reluctantly let go of ink pens and sketch paper. Pen and paper, after all, has been where the art in tattoo art has originated. The iPad Pro, with the help of the Apple Pencil stylus and some advanced image processing software, may be the first affordable technology that feels authentic enough to move artists away from the familiarity of pen and paper.
This makes perfect sense, but I never even thought of these artists as potential iPad Pro users when it was released.
I am a licensed tattoo artist and it has changed everything. I do my consultations, my line work, color studies, and so on. I was torn between the iPad Pro or the Cintiq. I absolutely love how quickly you can make a change in the design with the iPad Pro. Great product for those not in the graphic design world.
