I always have a paper towel wrapped around my left middle fingers so I can alway shave paper towel to stretch. However, once the outline is done it doesnt help too much as I wet wipe once the outline is done.

Looks good. Pass. I like the red/yellow rose. I also did one similar to that with the same colour scheme last year. :3

dont run the machine, and just hover your tip over the line. this way you can test to see if you can do the whole line in one shot. If not you CAN stop if there are lines that meet. like you can TECHNICALLY do T in three lines if needed. You can stop where the top line meeds the vertical line, and do the top line in two lines. It’s best if you can…[Read more]

Welcome :3

I prefer to use diamonds yes
it makes a slight groove for your needle to rest it so it has less of a chance of moving around

your rubber bands should be tight enough to pull the bend needle bar straight, but not so tight that they bend the needle bar towards the coils

yes rest your palm on the client. you should be doing what is callled a three…[Read more]

there are many many factors that go into a tattoo. the area, and the how sensitive your client’s skin is will affect the swelling. try adding 4 capfuls of witch hazel and bactine to your wash bottle. itll help a lot.

Hmmm interesting
you say you’ve only tattooed yourself? And nowvthe lines are swollen???

And it didnt happen before??

This piece where the swollen sits, where on your body is this?
And have you tried a different place???

I’m asking since I have tried this too, on a costumer. Two tattooes were done on him, the first place, on his forearm. Went…[Read more]

Mags use FT or Flat Tips

M1 is weaved mag. the needles are put on top of each other, and weave: .-.-.
M2 is stacked mag. the same idea, but tighter. .:::.
RM is round mag, or curved mag. It’s the same as M1, but the end is curved. ) instead of |
F is flat. One line. 7F is one line of 7 needles. personally I don’t use them. A 5 M1 is one row of 3…[Read more]

I touch any tattoo I do FOR FREE, FOREVER, FOR ANY REASON. I saw your rose tattoo, if she paid for the whole tattoo then finish it.

I know were your getting at guys, and to somepoint I would just have left it were it was.
if it wasent for my brother though, he was the one who first made me aware of the bad talking. And those occasions, he was the first to back talk them. Saying stuff like; he would never let her touch him with a poker. Thats what makes me a bit sad, I know its…[Read more]

Says I don’t have permission to view the album

Where are the shops located that you worked at?

This doesn’t really tell us anything. You went and made a free website today, and tossed a picture on it. It’s even filled with default sample pictures. I could do that, and even use images of tattoos I didn’t even do.

Do you run/work in a shop? What’s it called? Where is it located?

If you do work in a shop, why are you just making a website…[Read more]

It was script, and yes he knew since day one.

More ranting and raving….

Hey I’m getting good at this. ;)

No but seriously, I am pissed, or dissapointed actually. So much that it ruined my sleep last night. Got about 3 hours of sleep.

I have two ongoing projects on my brother, a skull and bird on his back (which needs more darkness) and a coverup on his forearm, (which I’m almost done…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum :D

Dude do it. Start your own place. I guess I’m going to have to move to DK, and take that second booth though :P

Looks alright dude. Practice practice practice. Also, be patient.
