Looks great up until now.
Love that wolf piece :D

[brokenpipe]

thank you

[Ramenuzumaki]

looks good :3
the wolf is fantastic

judging by the second pic you’re not using disposable grips?
how are you sterilizing them?
somethign you could try is putting some paper towel around them, and putting some rubber bands to hold htem in place
it makes the grips a little softer since they are made of steel

[brokenpipe]

I have an autoclave I made. Gets it clean. It was the first thing I did when I started doing ink. The plan is to use disposables as often as I can.

[Ramenuzumaki]

good job :3
do you do bi-monthly spore tests?

[brokenpipe]

I’m actually waiting for my first “sample” test to come in from ATS. I got the bags with the indicators but i understand that its no proof of the items actually being contaminated. Im confident in my machine but i did tell her(my sister in law) that i hadn’t done spore testing to confirm and she can either order disposables or take the chance. she opted not to spend the money on disposables. I personally like them better, it seems like i get less ink puddles

[Ramenuzumaki]

as long as you’re doing it right then have at it haha
:3

I feel sketched out doing tatts Cuse of the negative connotation given to people that Tatt without a format apprenticship

[Ramenuzumaki]

i tried to get one but i was fired after two months for getting the flu lol

[brokenpipe]

Yah. I got a wife and kids with s full time job. No one wants a guy for to nights a week lol

[brokenpipe]

The start of my batman. 5rl and a 7rl. I was sculpting lines and ny foot pedal stopped working. So ill pick up with the gray in a few days. The perspective is skewed on the photo . That’s why he looks like he has midget legs lol

[Ramenuzumaki]

looking good dude
yeah ive had a pedal crap out on me a million times
i got sick of fixing it so i bought a new one >.<
i hate it when that happens

[brokenpipe]

Number one thing I learned from this Tatt? Never try and add ink an hour and a half later. Excruciating pain!!!!

[Tattoo Deshi]

Ya I can attest to that… painful as hell was in the middle of doing my koi on my leg and my boss call need my help 2h later whent to start up again wow let’s you know your alive lol
