I get a lot of sh*t from some people when I tell them I don’t bag my machines, but IMO, bagging the machines just contaminates them more, and I clean them after evey tattoo anyway so what’s the point? 80% of the shops I’ve been in don’t, and most of the tattoo shows don’t either. I do however bag the clip cord…

Ink used: Kuro Sumi
Needles used: 1RL, 5RS

I wouldn’t use a 1rl for big outlining peaces. Mainly they are used for fine detail, single needle will really slice the skin when running a long line like that.. And also with…

Heh. I’m far from an expert, but I like what I’m seeing here. Gives me something to aspire to as a beginner.

That’s awesome!! Hang in there and be a sponge! The main thing i have learned in this is the client is number one!! Take that extra time to get every aspect of the tattoo and what they expect, hope, and would like to integrate into it. Make them happy and you can never go wrong!! I would like to see some of you’re work sometime.…

I think you are doing very well. I like you’re line work in the skull and roses and the other sleeve tattoo, but are you gonna put any filler into either of them or is that all it gets? Clean and solid work especially you’re scrips work. However i do not like the one titled color with mag at all it looks pretty rough! Keep it up…
