I am stopping at that as I am sore and im starting to hold my breath when im doing it making it a lot harder for me haha as I am asthmatic .. Ps all this work is on myself, I am a scratcher at home and I am trying my hardest to learn.

Felt like e leg tattoo it came out so much easier then it is on this.. Im hitting spots with both a round shader doing the small circles very slowly, as well as a mag shader I believe its called, double layers flat shader.. It seems as if hardly any ink is coming out :(

Ugh.. Im having a problem guys!
I am shading over and over again and im not getting the result I thought I was going to.. It seemed a lot easier the other day when I did the skull tat on my leg. I am trying to fill in tribal as a cover up, and it seems like hardly any of the ink is settling into my skin but I can feel the pain haha. Any help?? :(
I have put everything away now but I know I am using a round shader as well as trying the flat i believe it said 1207m or something rather.. Sorry its 333am here I am in my bed with a bad back pain lol, been doing this tattoo for quite sometime now, the outline went in perfectly find.. I just don’t understand why its taking so much work to get my black fill in..
Tried both my liner and shader gun.. Same result, tried different voltage on my power box.. Same result, its weird..
Tips??

Thanks for all your help man I really appreciate it,
The stuff that was leaking out of my leg was a clear fluid :)
Btw the light headband is a great idea I never thought about that!!

Hre are the pictures that I have JUST taken, I put lubiderm on it about an hour ago so it is still a little moist..

Will do, hopefully today:)

Had one more question, is there a way to tell if I went too deep a day or two after ive done the tattoo?
I thought I might of because of pus coming out, but looked it up and if there is a clear fluid coming from the tattoo it is called plasma and thats a good sign .. Apparently.. No red around the tattoo, it is not sore at all unless im doing my dead lifts which I have stopped now because of it until it is healed

[live2rydezx9r]

Sweet thanks for all the help man I really appreciate it :)
I think I am going to try and nail that cover up today so ill post more work :)

[live2rydezx9r]

Hey thanks a bunch I really appreciate it!
Are these forums pretty active usually? Lol just wondering I think your the only one that responded to both of my threads so far haha :)
But yeah that’s what I tried to do, I used a Round Shader and I started from the beginning of the flame looking things and just did a few whips with the true black to get a sort of lighter shade,vas ive learned from bad tattoos on myself (from others) i thought if it did it lightly, whip, and sort of raise the needle higher towards the end of the shade it would give me a lighter look,Cohen I went into filling the rest pretty dark.
By 100% 50% 25% and 10% is that because you are adding water in those ones??

Around the eyes I used a silver ink, eye I used a red, and a white for the whites of an eye, and in the teeth I used a white as well.

Had a problem switching to different inks though, I used red white and silver and it seemed like everyone of those got the other colours in them, so I got a glass of water, put the needle in there slightly and ran it till the ink stopped filling into the glass, is that okay or no?

[live2rydezx9r]

That’s sick man!! I hope I get this good one day

[live2rydezx9r]

Thanks man I appreciate it,
I’ve seen a few episodes of that show but the ones I have seen so far they have not done a cover up or anything so big and so ugly yet haha,
I will try and see some more today though for sure cause nothing would be better right now but to cover this up lol

[live2rydezx9r]

The on to the top says my dogs name, Mercy, one below it are knuckle dusters, the last one is just the outline of a gun

[live2rydezx9r]

Okay cool, didnt re use btw haha was just checking, thank you :)
Gunna thrpw them out now, yes I guess I ment the Inkwell

[live2rydezx9r]

Cheers :)
I am going to hook it up without the needle it in in a few minutes and see what kind of sound I can get, I was told to keep it on 10v but like you said its all on the sound, do you know any good youtube channels I can take a look at?

[live2rydezx9r]

that looks great! :)

[live2rydezx9r]

Thanks man I appreciate it :) I will have to look, I knew the depth of the needle was a factor but I wasnt aware of the angle, I hold pencils funny so its lead me to hold my tattoo gun at an angle!
I do great outlines but when its all healed it looks somewhat scratchy, like I didnt go deep enough or I went to deep and I was so confused cause I have been practicing on the dept, I will try angle neext time! Thank you :)
