  I managed to rub of most of the Stencil as soon as I had started so it became a bit of a challenge lol
  But I got there I’ve only been able to post part of the tattoo
  Please let me know whet you think

  Cant really see it all that well because the pics on this site are so small, but looks like the line work is a bit shallow and shakey. Other than that it looks good for third one on skin. Keep it up! :D
  
  I had the same problems when i first started stensils. I found that I wasn’t giving it enough time to dry. plus I have a recipe for a good stencil stay at home, I’ll try and find it and post it on here for you. It’s a lot cheaper than buying “stencil stuff” or one of the other brands.
  
  Cheers,
  Ben :D

  Thanks it was a tense moment even though I’ve been a wildlife and portrait artist for years it’s the first time I’ve had to draw an animal upside down and then to make it even harder tattoo it!

  This is my third ever tattoo on skin
  I had a go on 1 sheet of fake skin and didn’t like it so I tried the same design on my leg and loved it I made a few mistakes but it was tribal so it was easy to sort out
  After that I spent a few hours talking to my local tattooist who helped me set up my machines
  I know I have a long way to go before I can become a tattooist myself but I don’t want to give up. I did a dragon on my other leg. No stencil, just my freehand design which I’m still working on. I tried to post a picture of it but it won’t allow me to post the whole tattoo ( file too big) so I posted the tiger instead … But I could only post the head of that!
