How do you set up a tattoo power supply?
Do you stretch the skin when tattooing?
It stretches a lot. In order to perform any kind of precise work and to get the ink in correctly, the skin must be taut. It’s important that the skin be stretched tightly like a drum so the needles don’t bounce, or get hung up in theskin. If the skin isn’t very tight, your lines will go from too strong to too weak.
How do I know if Im tattooing too deep?
The tip of the needle should not be sticking out anymore than 2mm and no less than 1mm. Keep in mind that every person’s skin type is different and there is no exact measure. If during your tattoo there are excessive amounts of blood, it is obviously going in too deep.
How hard do you press when tattooing?
Push the needle into your skin.
It’s very difficult to push a tattooing needle in too deeply because of the design of the needle will keep it from happening, but you do need to make sure it goes deep enough, at least a few millimeters. As you do, start moving it along the outline of your design.
