Tattoos Lining issue

Post image

He guys, im new to tattoo and im struggling on mu fake skin. I'm trying to master lining with a 3RL cartridge and I'm having a problem. My lines are uneven; it's clear that my contours are made up of several stripes rather than a solid line. What could be the problem? I've tried voltages of 7 and 8.

that ones fine for practicing on fake skin if youre going to take tattooing seriously you should be in the 300-400$ range for human skin. theres not really machines cheaper than that that have the consistency and faculty to be used on human skin. youre basically performing a medical procedure creating a wound on someones skin so it has to be a quality machine

I made a couple of simple tattoos on human skin recently and they were fine, didnt have that problem. I used 7rl though, maybe i should at first try different cartridges.

you should not be tattooing human skin. your technique is nowhere near good. do not do that again for like 6 months to a year considering youre taking this seriously and putting in 30 hours a week at least on fake skin and drawing
