From the mathematical mind of Sarah Brewer comes Old World Geo, a massive geometric brush set for Procreate including 5 brush files totaling 600 unique brushes.

Old World Geo was inspired by patterns found in the Old World from countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and more! Here, 100 patterns are expressed in 6 variations: pressure sensitive, inverted pressure sensitive, bold, thin, dot, and 3D. This set also comes with a helpful PDF brush set guide that demonstrates these patterns in the real world. You can use these dynamic brushes to add an interesting element to any of your tattoo designs, or just brush across your iPad screen for a cathartic moment. Ahhhh, so nice. Take a step back in time and get inspired by Old World Geo!

Following the tattoo community’s incredible feedback to his first set, Brad Wooten ventured further into the past for inspiration for the future of tattooing in CYBERFLUIDICS Vol. 2.Within the set, you’ll find 63 brushes, each with inverse variations, and fine-tuned pressure sensitivity. The patterns, based on Persian art, ferrofluid movement, space and extraterrestrial influences, and trippy shapes, give you a complete set of tools to experiment with across a range of styles, sizes, and density variations.Paired with CYBERFLUIDICS Vol. 1, you’ll be able to combine the geometric, ornamental, and organic patterns in Volumes 1 and 2 to create dynamic tattoo patterns at any size, for any project.Use the brushes in this set on their own, or as added elements, in your next project to venture into your own exploration of the ancient future with CYBERFLUIDICS Vol. 2.

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!

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.”

Tattoo Smart is proud to introduce the Cheyenne Cartridges needle brush set, featuring your favorite tattoo needle configurations exactingly replicated as digital brushes for Procreate. Cheyenne rotary machines and cartridges allow artists to quickly switch between needle configurations. With this brush set, you can prepare your tattoo designs with those precise configurations in mind, testing each grouping and seeing how they relate to each other.Working with Cheyenne’s proprietary needle sizing, Russ Abbott took great care to create each of these brushes, replicating both the size of the configuration as well as the feel of how they perform during a tattoo. He calibrated each brush based on his experience using them for digital design and using the Cheyenne cartridges during tattoo sessions, fine-tuning the digital versions to have the same look and feel of how the cartridges work in practice. There is no closer way to match your digital design process to your actual tattoo process than the Cheyenne cartridge needle brush set.

Developed from decades of experience with aerosol art, Dave Tevenal created Graff Damage for Procreate, designed to give your digital illustrations the authentic look and feel of graffiti, beyond letter structure and color.As Dave developed these highly versatile brushes, he took every aspect of spray can control into account.

Update: Dave recently completed the highly anticipated Battle Damage Volume 2 brush set. The second volume includes the new texture shaders, spray can splatter and brushes, and fur textures Dave created to complement his workflow and allow for an incredibly wide range of fully rendered digital designs. The two sets together, Battle Damage Volumes 1 and 2, represent the full set of natural media brushes Dave believes to be the foundation of any digital artist's toolkit.Dave Tevenal is widely-known as an incredibly prolific artist, possessing an unending work ethic and a tenacity to seek out the highest quality tools for his craft. In addition to tattooing, Dave has mastered a wide range of physical media, from paint to marker to digital design. It is from that mastery and experience that he crafted this set of Procreate brushes for Tattoo Smart, and we are proud to have collaborated with him to bring you these tools.

In his early forays into digital media, Dave tested stock and custom brushes for Procreate and found them fundamentally lacking. Not surprisingly given his obsessive pursuit of quality, he chose to develop his own Battle Damage brush sets.

Battle Damage 1 and 2 by Dave Tevenal are designed to make your digital designs look fully hand-rendered. Dave meticulously created these natural media brushes from the ground up, starting with high-quality scans and photos of fine art paper and physical brush, marker, pen strokes, and spray can splatter. He designed custom grain source and nib images, experimenting and perfecting each brush. The result is an incredibly flexible set of tools for Procreate that mimic the small paper bleeds and grain texture of physical media, and produce designs suitable for a wide variety of applications, from art prints to tattoo designs.

Covering a wide range of lettering styles, these brushes will immediately improve your free-hand lettering technique. Josh Tucker has included his favorite tapered liner brushes for quick drafting, as well as an oval liner that mimics a sign painted look. The calligraphy brushes in this set include texture and angle variations that are not pressure sensitive for a smooth consistent shape to your letters. Use the two- and three-line brushes, as well as the angle grid brush, to keep your letter shapes and sizes precise. The marker brushes in the set recreate your favorite chisel and permanent markers in digital format. Reflecting his preference for darker styles, Tucker designed gothic, jitter, whip shade, and black metal brushes with maximum texture and sharp tapering, allowing you to build up the design as the brush does the tedious work for you.Tucker also created 9 variations on filigree stamp brushes to include in your lettering designs. These stencil-ready stamps can be used as-is, stretching or skewing them to fit your design, or as a template for your own filigree ornament drawing.Quickly draft freehand designs for your client, build texture and experiment with lettering styles, and create clean, consistent digital lettering designs with the Hand Styles and Lettering brush set by Josh Tucker.

Designing lettering tattoos has never been more fun!
