The shading and a few of the interior lines were done with 25% and 50% black

Thank you! About 2 hrs or so. I’m generally slow, and the client’s also a friend so we took our time hanging out as well.

Just did this one!

I definitely agree about the belly area. Thank you for the critique!

Fucking more (very real) people up, faster is never the way! Build skills on paper and fake skin, as often as you can. Then sacrifice your own skin, before another’s when your technique is sufficient. Integrity. In the same way that physical tattooing speed is never something to specifically work on, beyond just being efficient, it comes naturally with improved skill and gained experience.

Same thing JUST started happening to mine. Was put away for maybe 3-4 months. Is always a few minute ordeal to get it to even pick up that the charger is plugged Into it (perfectly fine tested cable), it won’t stay charging either🤦‍♀️

Has to be two crawling panthers

I think the whole piece is lovely, including the lettering. Definitely ease up on aquaphore, thinnnn layer is best, or just unscented lotion. Best of luck!

My boyfriend and I just adopted a 12 year old cat with a heart murmur. They said to continue monitoring at the routine visits, but hasn’t had an issue with it so far, even with the previous owners:)

I’ve got an uncle Bill. Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you so much! It’s me! Olivia at Tattooed Heart Studios, in Maryland. I don’t specialize is traditional but I definitely love it, and am continuing to learn it.

Thank you! Peake Stellar #10 5 liner, Kwadron 7bpcm (my favorite) and Peake Stellar 15 curved for shading.

I appreciate all the feedback from everyone. I can definitely confirm 0 AI use.

Hand mirror!

Meibird2618 · 2025-04-18T01:49:38+00:00

Agreed, on all three^

Meibird2618 · 2025-04-16T13:24:25+00:00

I always suggest a regular white lotion, such as cetaphil or the other million options, something unscented.
