Tips and corners of shapes in a tattoo, especially when doing
tribal style pieces, should be attacked in a methodical way. As
a new tattoo artist you may want to attempt to conclude your
lines at a junction point or a tip. For example if you are tattooing
a tribal piece on a client, and a portion of the tribal looks like the
letter “v” you would want to do two strokes, each stroke concluding
at the junction point of the “v”. As you reach the junction
point you will want to lift the needle out of the skin prior to ending
the line.
