I’m game!! Sounds motivating, or maybe I’m just bored too!! Either way, the outcome could be interesting.

That’s awesome!!

I thought so, could be the technique change as well. If the saying is true that you get what you pay for. That ink must be good!! I wasn’t prepared for the $10 for 2oz price tag. :shock:

I wish I was just out of high school again. It’s hard to do an old school scrub the toilet, sweep the shop floor apprenticeship when you have a house and family to keep up with. I thank those of you who comment , and share their knowledge . I can’t wait to use your tips.

Maybe try stretching the skin a lil tighter and slowing down ur hand a little to get a good solid line first time, Idk if this helps , what kind of ink you using? Could maybe be the machine speed as well

Thanks for the advise by the way.

Nice pencil work

Thank-you, I feel pretty comfy with a mechanical pencil and a q-tip. Trying to step up the machine skills. It’s a bit more challenging.

looks like a solid first effort.

If you have the whole prizm kit use the regular black for lining rather than the tribal. It is a thinner mix and goes in smoother. The tribal black is meant for solid fills. I’ve actually thinned it a bit with witch hazel to line…just seems to go in better for me.

I will try that on my next…[Read more]
