Loopi

In fairness, what I said was damn close to what the others said … :/ … was only helping.

Not a prob :)

Ohhh looks good… damn you and your lines!! One day I will too have lines like this!!

Looks brill! I spend ages just tracing pictures over and over! I know the pain of it!

Well done!!

When you say catches skin what exactly do you mean?

Are you checking your needles some times they might be barbed never a bad thing having a look before you use them on skin.

is it all needles or only a certain size? are you using the same brands?

Oh that looks good! I get what you mean now! I am gonna give that a lash! I like how it blends out in to the skin tone! :) thanks gil!

No never used the pencils :/

I either do the stencils or freehand with a skin marker first.

Maybe its just some people put the capital B for sh*ts and giggles lol …. I thought I was on t some ink scam! Lol

Yeah! :) thank u!!

Can I ask something, if you were doing this image how would you do the areas with that are. plain, where its meant to be the light … would you put a white to hightlight it or a very light grey wash just to give it some texture?

:)

Normally I use something that’s a bit tacky or dries a little sticky. I know in us they use some thing called green soap?? … I just get a bit of anti bacterial soap rub a dot on to the area til it dries dry and stick stencil on! …. since I last tattooed my self I. Have bought stencil stay … but the soap worked well just have to get the…[Read more]

Welcome :)

Link not working, instead of copying the link address from the address bar do this …. right click photo/picture … copy image url … then paste here :)

Your not going deep enough! Do you use the needle as a guide or the tube tip??

She might need a tiny bit more just to get the ink in a bit better. This all comes with practice! (I have a tattoo on my thigh and I have just solved a similar prob with it)

Also what ink are u using? I found the chinese inks are terrible in the skin almost too…[Read more]

Try pigs ears your get a good bita meat on them! have to work with tricky folds and bends in the skin good practice!

**Dont use the skin after 2 days it will go rancid and you working close to it inhaling it wont be very good for you**

Hey,

Looks like the depth was a bit off with this one could be because the skin is a bit tougher here so you may need to allow for that.
Also this part of your body is exposed to all the elements between sun, water, wear and tear (hand in pockets etc) the cracks look as tho they are in the natural creases of your skin so looks as tho it dried up…[Read more]

You will have to do a tight three point stretch, may need to push slightly down on the skin (a bit more than normal)

Also Depending on where it is on the body you could get them to position them selves in a way it taunts the skin. (lower back: a slim person could sit in a 90o angle and have taunt skin but a heavier person may need to sit leaning…[Read more]

Fantastic! Well done!! :D

^^^ good idea! sometimes the simplest solutions are the hardest to think of!

Just wanna say I dont use my needles on people I understand the importance on disposable tubes. I was just told that it would be cheaper to buy my needles and tips for my melons :) I have the disposables but they are my “when you get to tattooing level” kinda sit there…[Read more]

There won’t be a melon safe with me around :)

Also was the tattoo covered with a plastc sheet for a couple of hours after the tattoo was done! Tattoos can dry out very quickly and if its not kept in this moist environment for the few hours it can get very scabby and dry.

they actually are! I just wanted to tattoo something, one thing about melons is they go off quiet quick so I feel the pressure to tattoo them asap! Sometimes it might be crap drawings but its gotta be done!

I was given a rotary by one of the lads in the shop. God knows where he got it, when I say given it was more like “stupid f*cking thing take that there and figure it out”

I still havent figured it out… but I noticed my disposable tubes with grip had difficultly in it.. but I have a chrome grip and disposable tips after some adjusting I got it…[Read more]
