Hi all!
Bought the course and found it really helpful but I am still having problems with shading.
Had the tattoo machine for a couple of months now and dived straight in and started practicing on myself. Tried doing a half sleeve on my left forearm, the shading is terrible (looks like Ive used an empty marker pen, lol) Obviously this is down to not being able to stretch the skin properly so just got to persevere and top it up every few weeks.
The main problem is the few ive done on other people. I use a 7RL (9 volts) followed by a 14RS (8 Volts) I stretch the skin pretty well but i still get patches and I dont want to overwork the skin should i change to the magnums for a better result?
I have a 5M2 in my pack, i know this is really small and will take ages to fill but should i give this a go to see if I get better results
When I got tats done by a pro I did used to bleed but I dont when I do it myself - Is this good or bad?
Cheers for any advice
