WHEN WORKING ON A LARGE TATTOO, GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DIFFERENT
AREAS SINCE THE SKIN TENDS TO HEAT UP AND SWELL.
KNOW WHICH NEEDLE TO USE BEFORE TATTOOING.
BODY PARTS ARE ROUNDED. YOU ARE NOT DRAWING ON AN ENTIRELY FLAT
SURFACE.
RED INK FADES QUICKER. GO OVER IT MORE TIMES TO ENSURE IT STAYS.
START FROM BOTTOM RIGHT TO TOP LEFT TO AVOID RUBBING OFF THE STENCIL
IF YOU ARE RIGHT HANDED. DO THE OPPOSITE IF YOU ARE LEFT HANDED.
NEEDLES SHOULD PENETRATE THE SECOND LAYER OF THE SKIN AND SHOULD GO
OUT ABOUT HALF AN INCH.
MAKE SURE YOUR TEST SUBJECT KNOWS HOW TO PROPERLY CLEAN A TATTOO:
APPLY A THIN LAYER OF AQUAPHOR AFTER CLEANING WITH LUKEWARM WATER AND
NON SCENTED SOAP 3 TO 8 TIMES A DAY UNTIL THE TATTOO IS NOT RAISED
ANYMORE. THEN CONTINUE THE PROCESS WITH LOTION FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE 4 WEEKS.
KEEP THE TATTOO OUT OF SUNLIGHT AND WATER. NO BATHS OR SWIMMING!
KEEP YOUR HAND STEADY AND KEEP CONSISTENT PRESSURE FOR CONSISTENT LINE
WORK.
