I suddenly develioed a few blind spots in my vision and my vision started to get really wiggly a year ago. After a year of endless doctors, tests and needles in my eye (ow) I finally feel like I am beginning to slowly adapt to my now forever altered vision enough to keep practicing tattooing. Anyways, here’s my knee. not my best work but better than I dared to hope with these eyes😅
Experimented with a tattoo gun for the first text, which didn't come out as clean as the stick and poke sadly.

Handpoked, 3rl and 11rl. Neanderthal art. On a mission to fill my entire left leg. This is the 7th tattoo I've ever done, feeling pretty proud of myself. That fill is pretty solid, was able to get some nice speckle texture on that bottom triangle, fine lines are getting smoother. Some blowout on those tiny dots in the middle—the angle was weird, this is the outside of my left thigh. Not exactly sure how I'm going to do the back of my thigh...
Posted a similar thread in r/tattoobeginners and got virtually hung so I'm hoping for some actual help over here. Been working with a machine and stencils bc my own drawing skills are not quite where I want them to be (although I'm actively practicing, some pics at the end of my shitty doodles) and was just looking for some constructive criticism. The images are a jumbled mess of my practice over the last few days with no rhyme or reason. What I can say is that my favs/best so far definitely have to be the crescent moon, dog, and the assortment of skulls I've attempted.
Any and all suggestions/tips/advice is greatly appreciated!! As I'm planning on ordering some more supplies to ensure cleanliness then I'm going to try scratching on myself before I fuck up any of my friends lol
I posted here a yr ago and I think I’ve improved a lot
first time using a machine, ignore how they’re very not straight😭 Is it possibly because i used india ink rather than regular tattoo ink? or is it my technique? using mast pro 2 and needles that came with it
I would also like some opinions the mouths are suppose to be a tan/light brown color which I’m gonna shade once I get that color, but the chest is supposed to be skine toned, would you use ink for that or keep it just skin?
18rl for the red, 3rl everything else. Took about 3 hours. Questions, comments, concerns, criticism 👇. artist: @sketchybasementtattoos on Instagram
Client was happy so I’m happy. Looking for constructive criticism
Hello r/tattooscratchers! It took me so long between buying a machine and taking the plunge. But I'm happy to have finally put needle to fake skin and I'm very glad to have joined the community 💕
my brother in law asked me for a warhammer inspired tat, so here it is. ive been learning to tattoo with a machine for a couple of months now and tried this type of shading for the first time (0605RL, have been doing handpoke for several years)
any critiques/tips/advices are appreciated!
