Many tattoo artists shade in different ways. Most start with black and grey and then add color over it. Some use black or grey to lighten or darken a shade of color. It is the artists and client's choice.

How do you not do tattoo shading?

And I'm sick of people who rant and don't make any sense when they rant. Tattoo shading is done many ways. Every artist has their own technique and own style. Shading is done with a black ink, greywash system, grey, black cherry system, ive seen people shade with other colors but it takes lots of practice. You could make a 3 tier greywash system. Take black and add a tiny bit of distilled water. That will be your first tier. Add a tiny bit more than you did the first time in a second ink cup of black. That will make it a little bit lighter, that will be your second tier. Same process with your third tier. That is a basic greywash system. You can also buy pre-mixed greywash systems. But it is good to learn to mix your own grey wash. Another technique used by artists is whip shading. Whip shading is done exactly as the name says. start at the darkest part of the shading, put your needle at the proper depth and move your needle to the lightest part lifting the needle out of the skin as you move in a fast motion toward the end of the shading.
