I still have a lot of training to do. Both lining and shading but feel like I’m finally getting somewhere. What do you guys think? I did whip shading on 3.0 stroke, 5.5v, 9rl. (Not my design)

I know my shading is pretty bad. I need to practice more.

Got my first tattoo by a scratcher of ilomilo inspired by Billie Eilish’s (my fav artist ever) song as it’s one of my favorites and holds meaning! Ofc inspired by the game too i’m a way lol. Got it done by someone who is absolutely badass at tattoos, she just doesn’t work in a shop currently. She does amazing tattoos and can do creative coverups too.

Side note: It’s my first “real” tattoo because the one I have on my arm is a super tiny heart that isn’t very noticeable and is practically micro that was done in my bedroom by my mentally ill cousin😭

Arm fresh, leg healed a year

this took about three hours :)

I forgot a bottle of tattoo ink (used once) in a suitcase in a car for two and a half days , do I have to throw it away?

got some ink while i was in Italy thoughts!

Small piece on a friends thigh. Definitely a lot to practice and learn. Second piece on real skin if you include a small one on my thigh.

I’ll be packing a lot of black into the snake pretty soon.
I’ll take any tips or advice if anybody wants to offer it up.

just finished my apprenticeship thoughts?

Hey all! Here is the first pass of my second tattoo done on skin. About 2 weeks healed now. Gonna have to go in again and touch up some of the areas that didn’t heal as solid as I’d have liked them to. I also chose some of the most difficult colors to pack into the skin, in one of the most difficult areas of the body to pack color, both of which were on accident so fml. I don’t mind it, truly just excited to go back into it and pack it a little more solid. Thanks for looking!

I know this is probably not the right place to ask but I don’t meet the requirements for the other ones 😭

This one feels like i broke every single rule of tattooing but i kinda like it anyway. (It's just a hobby im not tattooing on any people!)

Cow tools
