First self-tattoo, seeking any advice
Im nowhere near as good as some of the people still doing fake skins here, but im impatient and just wanted to do a real one finally.
Gothic ACAB on my thigh. Linework was pretty ass first session, especially on the first two letters. I feel like I managed to clean it up a lot when coming back in for the black fill and am much happier with it.
When packing the black last night I noticed there was a lot of blood. Like more than I’ve ever seen getting professional tattoos. Am I going too deep, or overworking the skin? Or does black fill just do that?
Any advice or feedback welcome, I won’t take it personally since I know I still suck at this lol.
Lines done with a 7 rl at 6.9, fill with a 5mag at 6.9. Done with a cheap dragonhawk cartridge machine.
