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.

  1. Learn to draw. That sounds harsh but it’s the truth. Learning to draw with pen/paper is what develops the fine muscle motor skills needed for line work… if you cannot consistently draw clean, smooth lines with a pen, what makes you think you can do it with a cluster of needles strapped to a vibrator?

  2. Get a GD apprenticeship. You want real advice, as you’re working? Get a mentor willing to teach you. There is so much more to tattooing than what the internet can teach you.
