super clean parts, rear gas and a pulsed tig are a must... but it wont look that good without tonnes of experience..
so practice practice....
but if you want a super professional look... talk to the best professional out there....

Most of those are welded in a cabinet that is pressurized with gas to achieve that type of weld quality. But a good welder can achieve the same quality.
For piping you need to back purge, which is to fill the pipe with gas when welding. Always use a stainless filler rod that is a higher number than the material your welding.
Use 308 rod on 304 stainless, clean the weld area, back gas, and watch your heat input. Do not step on the pedal hard and run the bead fast. You should bring the heat up with the minimum amps required to start the weld puddle, then start laying down your weld. Using too much heat is a common mistake and will result in bad looking welds.
