I like it!

That was some good info. Thanks! Had me checking all my Kuro Sumi! Guess I was fortunate.

I’m not a pro, but I think for your first tattoo it’s not bad. I think you just bit off more than you can chew by picking such a large piece at first. I started smaller. The lines look straight, but some look shallow, some look good and dark. Tattooing yourself is hard. I would say let it heal and then go back in and rework lines and start shading…[Read more]

Just bought this set before I saw this thread. It will probably be a little while before I use it but I’ll let you know how it goes. I didn’t think it was over priced. roughly ten dollars an ounce.

Tattooing takes patience. It kind of like my form of meditation. Also 8 wraps for a color packer sound kinda weak. 10 or 12’s would have more power to pack that color.

Here it is. Have to upload it sideways because its too large of and image. Happy Halloween!

No. That’s good stuff to read. I’m in the Marine Corps right now. Got 11 till retirement. But this tattooing thing I’ve been doing almost a year now is my new passion. If I didn’t have responsiblities I would just do tattooing.
