This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeship
This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeshipThis site is not a substitute for a professional apprenticeship with a licensed tattoo studio. Nor is this site a definitive source for learning the art or trade of tattooing. An apprenticeship is the ONLY universally accepted way to learn proper safety practices and sound technique.
While we welcome members of all levels, we STRONGLY advocate staying away from skin until you've received formal training from someone who works in the field. Hell, even hair stylists must complete over a year of courses, pass a state health board exam, and apprentice under a professional studio before earning a chair.
The trade of tattooing has a rich history and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. If you respect the art, please show your respects by learning the right way.

ive noticed of late that needle depth is starting to mess me up - mainly in areas where the sin is thinner - i usually ride the tip- but lately ive started to ride the needle as i can see where im going better - get better detail and i dont get the big pool of ink that makes a huuge mess lol on the thicker parts - outer arms legs - back etc i usually go in about a mill - but i did a piece on my wrist using the same depth and it scared up a bit - obviously when it comes to hitting a design on another persons skin i dont want this happnin how do i determine how deep im gonna need to go in without going too deep and messing up?
