    Troub1edSou1z replied to the topic Stretch Marks? in the forum Design Ideas / Technique 10 years, 10 months ago

    scars and stretch marks are different. scars are a tougher tissue, whereas stretch marks are more soft elastic tissue. the only issue your really going to have is getting the skin taunt enough to pass a straight line. because of the elasticity of the skin the needles will tend to bounce, and could cause the line to be very wobbly.

    i agree. i wouldn’t try to tattoo these on real skin yet. start with simple designs like hearts, small tribal. i would say for now don’t tattoo anything bigger then a deck of cards….

    welcome aboard….take it slow. just like any other medium there are obstacles to get through. dont jump in the skin too soon. remember, unlike other mediums this one can cause serious damage to someone if your not safe and clean…..good luck

    you should have waited before tattooing real skin. these tattoos aren’t horrible, but lack life. there is no depth in any of them. they are very flat….you need to practice basics first.

    look at the ingredients and use what is used to make it, i.e: distilled water, glycerin, witch hazel. you can thin it with water, but it might not mix well

    first of all, freehand doesn’t mean tattooing directly on the skin with no stencil. people always get the assumption that this is how freehand is done.

    you can pretty much go on any tattoo supply website and purchase kits, or just the things you want. however i disapprove of this, and suggest you take $50-$60 of that money and take a BBP class (not online). learn everything there is know about BBP CC issues before proceeding.
