NOTE WHAT IS NOT TAKEN FROM THIS SENTENCE. The same clause names a palette of red, black and greys for trash polka. style_trash_polka.palette_tendencies has been BLANK since T11.6 because no fetched source stated it, and this batch searched again: the phrases black-and-red and red-and-black occur on ZERO saved pages. This source says "red, black, and grays", which is a THIRD formulation, from a translated trade guide that T11.9a already recorded as blurring style and technique throughout. The palette value stays blank and the finding is filed, not acted on.

  Tier 2

  Virginia Bruno, Tatuantes

  The page self-describes as a tattoo and body art resource site of trends, artist profiles and technical guides. The tier-2 assignment rests on those bylined technical guides and is a judgment call a reviewer could reasonably downgrade to tier 3; doing so would not move any style row out of the tier-1-2 count. Describes blackwork as combining solid areas with geometric patterns and abstract rhythms in full compositions; fineline as thin, precise and clean lines suited to small and medium pieces, demanding extreme control, where poor technique causes fading while correct depth and photoprotection preserve sharpness; and dotwork, placed within the ornamental/mandala category, as relying on dots, patterns and sacred geometry executed with millimetre precision from planned, measured layouts. Notes fineline shows mistakes most readily because it has no shading to hide them.
