Alright...so I want to get back into dying heads, and I like to always try out different rasta styles, so here is a practice one that I did. I am getting the Rasta Swizzbeat shaft once I get some money to buy it, and I want to dye a head that has the rasta theme as well. I had this razor lying around so I did a quick practice dye on it. I didn't take the time to heat the tape so that is why there are the black lines. I also didn't really let the head soak for each color so it's a little faded. I would do this dye on a clutch, and probably do some kind of custom (was thinking a rock-it pocket variation) using red green and yellow crosslace. Let me know what you think.

Good concept, doesn't look like you put too much effort in though. Really sloppy.

It's not blue...not sure why it looks like that...everywhere except the inside is black. I know it's sloppy but I think it will look good with effort on a clutch

Maybe a rasta splatter would look cool? I would go with a rasta swizzle. I rock it pocket with rasta colors would look sweet. I love your other dyes. I just looked at your webshots and their sweet so I think you could make it work.

looks really good man
for a custom, use black leathers and do an rp with red and green sides and a yellow channel.

there's nothing wrong with it, I'm just not a fan of it for some reason.

i guess its pretty good, i just think the Jamaican flag is a bit overused.

I know it's overused, but I've been doing it since the start...I'm done doing rasta dyes unless someone has me do one for them.

It looks like really sloppy, even for a quicke. And the reason the black looks blue is probably because you didnt dye it enough...maybe...or not... I dunno.

The black looks blue because of the camera, if you look closely you can see there is blue light on the side of the picture also...I'm looking at it right now and there is no blue.
