Thanks I have tried to put bigger pictures on but the site keeps making me reduce the size so I will have to work on that I did have a few parts where I over worked the skin a bit and had a bit of heavy scabbing but it ended up healing pretty good some holes in the color here and there but nothing a little touch up won’t fix.I used a 9rl and 7 mag shader with kokki sumi ink for lining and kokki sumi grey wash medium and dark for shading and scream ink for the color

These are my very first tats I tried to pick simple designs for the most part that I felt I could pull off.this one is the second go around mostly touching up the lines as some were a little shakey and my buddy wanted them bolder I used a 9 rl and 11 mag shader using scream pitch black ink any suggetions for a bigger bolder line would be helpfull thanks

I will take that as a compliment,but this is a tattoo I did with only having done four before it and believe me I was really nervous but he wanted it bad so I drew it out five times and studied it for two hours planing where I would start and end every line I used a 7rl and a 9rs and used kokkai sumi tribal ink for outline and fill in.I have 14 tattoos done by 5 different artists so I know the tattoo process and how to wrap one up when it’s done.I am a residential house painter so Iam used to holding things in my hand and being very steady and I believe this has helped me out lots with tattooing.basically I got my kit (Valsturd) and a copy of the basic fundamentals book and read it cover to cover twice and watched the video that came with the kit and spent a couple days trying to tune the machines and then just went for it doing the first two on myself still have lots to learn and hope I can learn some stuff from this site thanks for checking it out

The picture is actually taken quite close up but in order to load it to the site I had to change the file size which makes the picture very small looking.is there another way to do it?I took the pic with my iPhone and then emailed it to my laptop and then loaded it from there but had to change it’s size any suggetions would be great
