I’d say, speaking from experience, lay off of skin until you are more comfortable knowing exactly where your needle is going. You have a lot of “double vision” lines there…and it’s just form not being comfortable with where the needle exits your tube and being able to see and put it where you want.

Looking good, scrub that with some green soap and water and they will look even better. I would have to say looking at those line weights, unless you built them up A LOT you used more than a 3rl, that would produce an extremely smaller diameter line weight…again, if you built it up i would completely understand where your coming…

Looks good! what did you use for shading???

I whipped up a one drop wash , and used a 7fs. I’ve since added a little more shading and a banner to the piece. Will take another picture and post tonight.

Youll get there just slow your roll and take your time with things. Pay attention to the details cause thats what makes a good tattoo great.

I also agreee with Mark, your off to a good start just slow your roll a little bit. I tried those practice skins and they can be a real bitch to get color in them so i know how frustrated you might be.
