Why is black ink not staying in the skin?

Answer 1

First of all sorry for my bad english, i'll try to explain it to u the best i can.

Second of all, if you're a beginner, I won' tell you to get an apprenticeship. You're welcome! I never got one. There were no tattoo artists in my town, nor did i have enough money to get one in some other town.

But what I will tell you, if you still have any trouble tattooing.. I would suggest you to keep practicing, on pig skin, until you realise what the problem is.

Anyway, make sure your voltage is right, if you're filling tattoos, use magnums. Bigger the magnum, more voltage you should add. Let's say that magnum 7 needs optimal voltage.

Don't work too fast, optimal speed is the best for filling. Stab between 1.5 to 2 mm.

If you're shading tattoo, you can work a bit faster, not that you should. I would suggest you shader 9s. Stab between 1.5 and 2 mm.

PS. You'll have more problems with white ink not staying in the skin.

In that case, work a bit slover and lower the voltage. Stab 2 mm.

PPS. As i said, first practice on pig skin! After you're 100% sure that you understood how the ink and machine work, don't make your first tattoo on yourself, you'll be too hesitant, most people are. Ask some friend.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY! KEEP IT CLEAN AND STERILE!!!

Hope i helped!!!
