The Spitshade Set by Russ Abbott contains a variety of natural media brushes for Procreate, meticulously created, tested, and refined. When combined with our hand-stained watercolor digital paper files, these tools allow you realistically replicate traditional tattoo-style spit shade painting.Spitshading has been a mainstay of traditional tattoo flash painting since the early days. Like traditional tattooing, the spit shade technique begins with a black outline using dip pens and permanent markers, followed by black shading in short blends, and finally a simple application of color. Over the years, a clear preference for specialized watercolor paper has emerged, with a tea or coffee stain treatment sometimes applied before painting.

The Spitshade Set is the ultimate toolkit for digital watercolor. The papers in this set feature unique textures and staining application that can only be achieved with analog methods.  Russ hand stained each paper himself then used advanced photography techniques to create consistent lighting and texture for the entire canvas. With 33 papers to choose from, you can experiment with different stain intensities and patterns until you find the perfect look for your final design.

Russ created the brushes in the Spitshade Set with the same care and scrutiny as the paper texture canvases. By employing the latest settings in Procreate, Russ was able to develop a set of extremely flexible brushes that utilize the full extent of the brush engines in your favorite design software. Experiment with the opacity, pressure, and angle of your Apple Pencil to fully realize the potential for expressive mark making with these brushes. The brushes and canvases in the Spitshade Set enable you to recreate your spitshading workflow, design style, and final product, regardless of your analog technique.

Magic Spitshader - A happy discovery during the creation of The Spitshade Set, this brush provides a single, versatile tool for applying AND blending black and colors with that authentic “spitshade” edge quality. For a subtle, smoother variation, try “Spittin' Image.”

Protoplast (noun, Greek): prototype, a thing that is the first of its kind

With Protoplast: Vol. 1, you can experiment with design placement like never before. We used 3D modeling software to create realistic renderings of human body parts, then turned them into 2D Procreate brush stamps.

It's not always easy to show clients different placement options or experiment with compositions and layouts on a human body. This compilation of 252 full body and body part mannequins comes in 4 different body types, so you can get a realistic sense of how your designs will look on your clients. Plus, the full body canvases come in 4 different poses, each from 5 viewpoints, so you can find the perfect angle or pose for your concept. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, Protoplast is essential for any designer's toolkit.

To help you choose the most realistic canvas for each client’s design, Protoplast also includes a 30-color skin tone Procreate swatch file. You can use the default true black color for a neutral skin tone that includes the widest range of values, or select one that more closely matches your client’s skin color to display the final tattoo more realistically.

Tattoo Smart is thrilled to bring you The Snake Kit by Andrew Borisyuk, a toolkit in our Procreate collection. Unlike flash sets, this complex brush set allows you to apply your foundational knowledge of snake form and movement, saving you time and allowing you to expand the complexity of your designs.

Featuring scale repeater brushes for top-down snakes, belly composition brushes for more coiled layouts, snake heads, and more, this kit will allow you to take the deceptively simple 3D shape of a snake and translate it to a tattoo design in a nearly limitless array of styles and options.

Snakes are a timeless tattoo subject, representing different themes in nearly every major artistic and tattoo style. They can be used as a bold, dramatic element, whether on their own as a minimalist blackwork tattoo or as the main subject of a bodysuit design. Drawing snakes, however, can prove challenging, and their form and movement require advanced compositional knowledge to accurately translate into 2D.

The Snake Kit includes both repeater brushes and stamp brushes to enable you to create Procreate designs of snakes, from traditional to realistic. Using the body composer brushes, you can draw top-down views of snakes with patterns that could also be used for koi fish, dragons, or other serpents. Follow the tutorial for step-by-step instructions.

While they are seemingly simple - an elongated tube that tapers on one end - snakes present a design challenge in that they have a top and a bottom, and a variable width. Using the belly composer brushes, you can visualize how the snake curves in 3D space, keeping its back and belly visually accurate, and creating dimension and foreshortening to make your composition dynamic. Where the Procreate repeater brush capability stops, Andrew has enabled you to add more dynamic coils and twists to your snake bodies with a series of segment stamps. Use them as a foundation to the design or to wrap the serpent around other elements.

To finish your snake design, the kit comes complete with dozens of snake and cobra head stamps, reflecting a range of "emotion" and actions. The faces' angles and perspectives make them easily adaptable to almost any snake drawing, again in a variety of styles.

With dozens of individual components, The Snake Kit Vol. 1 is the ultimate collection for creating realism, illustrative, neo-traditional, or blackwork tattoo designs of this iconic tattoo subject!

Inspired by the calligraphy of the past and a decades-long career creating hand-lettered designs and tattoos, BJ Betts partnered with Tattoo Smart to bring you the Penmanship brush sets. Each of the 414 brushes in the Penmanship set were painstakingly crafted and perfected to enable you to create the most versatile lettering tattoos and to find your own hand lettered design style digitally. The natural media brushes in the Penmanship set replicate vintage ink and brush pens in a digital format. BJ also provided 7 different lettering grid stamps and repeater brushes to help you lay out your digital lettering designs on their own, or add lettering to other tattoo designs. These guides are also invaluable tools to help you practice the shape and structure of your letter compositions.In addition to the natural media brushes in the Penmanship set, BJ also included 5 stamp alphabets to provide a visual reference to how the Penmanship brushes can be used to create different letter options, to layout different tattoo design options, and to provide a template for practicing letter composition. The Script letter stamps are drawn in BJ Betts’ classic script style, with more and less ornate individual letter options, perfect for any script tattoo design. Drawing with the round tip brushes in the brush set, the Round letter stamps are a less formal Script style while still maintaining the hand-drawn look of lettering tattoos. As the name suggests, the Aggro letter stamps are more aggressively drawn using sharp angles and a scratchier style. The Oval letter stamps provide an excellent simple letter design with minimal flourish. Finally, the Chisel stamps combine a slightly more ornate style with a chisel-tip pen look.

When Tattoo Smart launched the original Liners & Mags brush set in 2016, we created a bridge between the physical craft of tattooing and the digital art tools that tattooers were learning to love.

The Needle Set by Russ Abbott is the next evolution of that bridge, introducing new options within the set based on the feedback from thousands of tattooers in our community, and refining the functionality to utilize advancements in Procreate.

In short, we're revolutionizing the foundational digital tattoo design toolkit. Again.

When you open The Needle Set on your iPad, it might seem overly simple at first. We designed it that way on purpose - so it feels as intuitive and natural to use as your favorite machine. Your familiar tattoo process - lining, shading, then coloring - is how you'll use this set, and Russ has precisely created each brush to mimic the liner, shader, or magnum needles you use everyday. Even the color settings of each brush are finely tuned to perform how actual tattoo pigment works, with darker colors covering light but not vice versa.

Each digital liner brush has a smooth taper in and out, simulating the solid consistency of your best linework. The mag brushes respond to pressure and movement precisely, allowing you to render your designs exactly as you'll want to tattoo them. Use them to quickly pack color in your design, or create a long taper to whip or feather an edge. The round shaders are perfect for creating a soft finish or for touching up areas of shading using a mag brush, just like in real life. New to this set,  the stipple brushes are the closest digital brushes you'll find for recreating stippling in tattooing, or as a cool texture for any digital art.

Who is The Needle Set designed for? Well, everyone. But more specifically, tattooers who are continually learning and honing their craft and their design skills will find this set to have everything they need to push themselves and their process to each next level. Tattooers who are new to iPads and Procreate will be able to quickly apply their tattoo process to a digital medium. Apprentices and new tattooers will be able to practice the physical strokes and design process they'll need as they learn to tattoo.

Tattoo Smart's goal is to constantly expand the capabilities of what tattooers can do with technology, and we are proud to present the most advanced, intuitive, multi-functional digital needle toolkit for the tattoo community.

From the mind of Brad Wooten, tattooer, oil painter, and digital artist, Tattoo Smart is proud to present Cyberfluidics for Procreate. Within the set, you will find 48 unique brushes that can create 270+ different pattern iterations. These patterns reflect Brad's inspiration for the set: from the loose, flowing wave and organic patterns inspired by nature to the isometric and linear patterns found in parametric design and generative art.After more than 15 years using the classic digital design programs, Brad found himself limited in his ability to design quickly and experiment intuitively like he could in Procreate. As the capabilities for Procreate brushes recently expanded, he was able to create this set of patterns that capture the mathematical precision of vector-based design, but can be used flexibly and without the steep learning curve of those old school design softwares. To read more about Brad's start in tattooing and where he gets inspiration for his tattoo designs, don't miss our recent biopic blog post.Using Cyberfluidics, your ability to create patterns for your tattoo designs is nearly limitless. From tightly-configured geometric and bio-mechanical styles, to large scale blackwork projects that have maximum impact with a minimalist design, Cyberfluidics enables you to experiment across a range of patterns, sizes, and orientation variations. Most of the brushes in the set come with a sibling brush, allowing you to add and subtract from a pattern easily. Some of the brushes stack along an invisible grid, so you can combine different styles and sizes to create complex patterns. You can even use the patterns to create a halftone effect, perfect for tattoo stencils.Get Cyberfluidics today to explore the range and variability of this incredible toolkit!

No Egrets. This flash set is ducking awesome.

A must for any tattooer’s Procreate design tool kit, these versatile birds can be used for nearly any style tattoo design. Each flash stamp was drawn to represent the most interesting angle of the bird, whether flying or perched, trying to capture a wide-range of species that are typically interesting for clients.

Each stamp design includes highly detailed feather lines that can be customized depending on the style of your tattoo design. Unlike direct reference images, these designs have been thoughtfully edited and composed to include the visual information specific to a tattoo.

Use the stamps as-is for realism or illustrative designs that require a high level of detail in your stencil. You can easily redraw the linework for neo-traditional tattoos. These standard designs could be used as flash, as elements in a larger composition with other Tattoo Smart elements for rapid prototyping, or as stand-ins for birds you that would require your further research and refinement. As part of your digital toolkit, The Aviary images represent a useful collection that you will want to have accessible quickly based on your clients’ interests.

Start with simple symmetry before spiraling into infinite options

A Lotta Mandala is a collection of mandala tattoo designs that are perfect for any artist looking to tattoo beautiful and intricate designs. These mandalas, available for Procreate, range from delicate and floral to very stylized and complex, making them popular with tattoo clients. You're sure to find the perfect design for your next project.

Brazilian tattooer Fran Rocha is a student of world cultures, and in particular the ornamentation used throughout history. Unsurprisingly, as tattoos became more commonplace, symbols like mandalas, with or without the specific cultural meaning, were used to decorate the body, bringing a similarly adorned aesthetic. In recent years, ornamental tattoos have risen in popularity, from complex, fine-line mendhi and henna-inspired tattoos to large scale, bold linework designs.

The mandalas in this collection reflect a range of options. Fran drew inspiration from natural elements like flowers, leaves, and vines. She included popular ornamental tattoo trends like Indian and botanical styles, and interpreted common client requests like dreamcatchers as mandalas.

Gradient Spheres by Cory Ferguson adds new dimensions to your geometric tattoo design toolkit for Procreate. This collection of 125 circular designs solve the challenge of creating smooth, crisp pattern gradients in Procreate. Each stamp in the brush set is highly detailed and transitions smoothly in density from positive to negative space.
Cory was inspired by familiar patterns like waves, hexagons, triangles, Flower of Life, and starbursts. He also included linear-aligned patterns, interlocking shapes, spirals, and a wide variation of new and interesting options to include in your geometric and other tattoo designs.
These gradient spheres, together with pattern bands, fade patterns, full-page patterns, and custom repeater brushes throughout his other Encyclopedia Geometrica tools, give you an immense toolkit for nearly infinite variations on geometric tattoo designs.

The Realism Cheat Code is the ultimate tool for anyone using a reference for shading and color rendering. Your designs will never look "off" again. Make the right decisions, the first time.

The Realism Cheat Code is a .procreate file that allows you to visualize and distinguish between different value layers within a reference image. Isolate precise areas of each shade. Understand the complexity and value range while you design.

Here's what others have to say about The Realism Cheat Code:

I'm currently working on a tiger tattoo design, and the Realism Cheat Code has been a game-changer. I was able to see areas where I needed to make tweaks to the value levels of my reference image. It's been incredibly helpful in identifying areas where the face of the tiger isn't dark enough, for example. - Robert, LAUNCHPAD member

I think the most useful part is setting the effect of the contrast. I feel like I see a lot of black and gray tattoos that are really good, but are lacking contrast. There's not enough black and there's not enough skin. So I feel like this is a really easy way to just see it in, black and white. - Brooke, LAUNCHPAD member
