Hey im new to this page, just started tattooing a month ago. Im having a hard time getting a good clean outline, and getting the color down with one stroke, but im having a blast learning. Heres some work i've done on fake skin, let me know what you think.

[notah]

That is awesome. You did this on fake skin. I gave up on fake skin shortly after I started using it (3 seconds). Time to start on your own leg. Just remember that fake skin is alot tuffer han real skin.

That looks awesome man, love the color.

Thanks man, I had some trouble getting the ink in. Plus I had just re-worked my liner, and had to readjust a few things to get it running right. Fake skin is so fucking hard, there is another post about soaking it in something that softens it, Think Ill try that on the next piece of Pskin.

Just did this one today, a portrait of my wife. Thats my first attempt at a portrait and I should have chose a better reference, this one had very faint shadows. Yeah it really looks like shit, I hate it more the more I look at it. I just couldnt get the ink to take the way I wanted, It was kinda all or nothing.
Ps. My wife isnt that ugly. Ha Ha

Ok with a new day behind me I took a second look, I had initially used a 8rl for the outline and an 18rs for the rest. I decided to take an 8rs and re work some areas. I think this looks a whole lot better.

Just finished this one, i kinda of rushed it i need to work on slowing down an taking my time. Looks good from far away lol.

Looks good, I like color, but am more prone to b/w stuff. What kind of fake skin do you work on, do you know what it is exactly/where to get it cheap? I just know its something you can buy at a hardware store or hobby store. Im gonna try to find something comparable.

[lazarus22]

I go to technicaltattoosupply.com they have pretty good prices.

I just ordered some needles/tube combinations from Unimax. They look fuckin awsome. The tubes are matched to the needle. They shipped quick and packaging was good.
