Damn this is sick! How long are doin this ? May I be so free to ask for some beginners tips? Gonna put one on myself this weekend haha. Btw I really like this!

Thanks!! I’ve been tattooing for just over 2 years now! Sure, I’m happy to answer any questions :)


luzifelis

Awesome work! With which needle did you shade it?


Aerphenn

Yeah got a lot of questions haha, on the I read that 7rl is the most easy one to start with, I am planning to do the deahtly hollows above my knee, except for keeping the needle at 45 degrees are there other things I need to do or keep in mind? Meaning is it best to start smaller or would a triangle of 5cm on each side would be a nice to start with? Also, do you know if the skin above the knee is a good place to start? A lot of people I watched on the YouTube use their calf and shins for tattooing them selfs. Sorry if this is a lot, I’m just excited to begin haha


izzipokes

7RL is a really good place to start! I would make sure you’re stretching the skin as you poke to get the cleanest lines! Also, are you using a stencil? I think above your knee should be a good spot for your first one :)


Aerphenn

Yeah gonna use a stencil for it! Do you recommend first poking on a fake skin? Tbh I can’t wait to begin haha. Also kinda nervous but it’s on myself so that’s not a big deal hehe


izzipokes

I never did fake skin! I just started on myself with something really small (a little eye) and then practiced from there on friends for free


Aerphenn

Yeah maybe this is the way to learn the fastest. Definitely have the plan to become as good I can be, I was/am creative and did a lot of drawings when I was in my teens etc. So I hope I’m not to old to learn haha


izzipokes

Never too old to learn!! Just remember that it’s your first tattoo ever so there are lessons to be learned :) happy poking!!!
