when i first started off, if the ink didnt stay i went deeper, thinking that was what i was doing wrong. DONT DO THAT!! make sure when lining u adjust your hand speed, dont stay in one spot too long, dont move too fast and scratch the needle across the skin, hence the “scratcher” tag. also, angle of penetration is very important. 45 degree angle, and “push” the ink under the skin. Let the needle do the work, try to stay surfacey at first, i would rather have a faded tattoo bc i didnt go deep enough rather than oatmeal bc i thought i wasnt deep enough.
