thanks for the reply,
First off let me say this, if i sound arrogant or inconsideration i apologize i dont mean to be.
I wont get an apprenticiship because we have one shop in my area and they have no interest in anything of the sorts so thats not an option for me…sry

I agree with everything else…i need help and i know it, thats why im…[Read more]

nobody got anything for me?….or is it the forums are now dead?

its prolly my eyes and the pic but it kinda looks like the lines are blow in spots. but its still good for another first

When starting the second session can u go straight into shading or do u have to redo the outlines again

I dont see a reason to redo something that should be pretty solid…if you need a touch up prolly so but other then that just shade it

Three local shops wanted nothing to do with this, said it was too much work.

Very nice…did you do it yourself or what?

Does anyone know this bit of important information???? When lining, do you hold the machine at a 45 degree angle from the side of the line, or do i hold the machine at a 45 and “push” the machine right over top of the line? i hope u guys understand my question.

push the line at a 45 and if your moving along the side then you’ll…[Read more]

well…you need to work on your line work and the shading looks alittle “shady” to me :)
not bad thou…better then the first one i done by fare..

I use fruit and the skin. skin is basically useless i think..i hate the sht , seems its to difficult to use and the fruit, well that just makes you think your a god or something…its that easy.

Skin is good for getting use to your machine while fruit will allow you to get use to the odd shape your gonna be working on like the arms or leg and…[Read more]

i’ve only shaded 2 of my tats, it isnt really messy to me. the following picture is what i set mine for. i don’t ride the tube tip either, i just (on myself) set my machine for that and go half of that into the skin. my problem is rushing and not getting a first good pass, now i’m slowing down and taking time, less touch ups. for…

since i posted that pic, recently got new needles (7rl) and did a few touch up areas and colored some in. 2 nights ago i added my 11th self tat, today somehow got it snagged and ripped one of the lines and ripped the ink right out, needless to say, it hurt worse than tatting it. all the chattin on this post is perfectly fine with…

how long did it take you to do the outline? size needle did you use?

@alligator eye wrote:

The depth of needle to apply ink is 1mm or less. I would never bury a needle 1/16. Just practice and “kiss” the line w/ tip and be consistent. Can’t give all my secrets…just keep practicing.

HAHAHA!!! In my opinion you just did…ty..benn looking for an answere like that for some time..ty again

Falconier. I am by no means a top level pro, but I been doing it a little while. I hang my needle out, and “ride” the tip. Hard technique to get a hold of, but I can see the needle, where it’s going, and how deep I am going. I can also now “feel” my depth and drag, etccc… Practice. I hate fruit. Nothing compares to real…

you could be moving to fast or you might not be going deep enough. i set my liner so 1/16th of the needle is out when the armature bar is held down then as im start to line i hold at 45 degree angle i aslo hold the tube with tip of my middle finger instead of like how you would hold a pen to write. hope this helps

When you set your…[Read more]
