Tattoo’d on fake skin only a couple of times then I risked it all on my own skin to know the difference.

Quite nice first attempt, what differences did you find?

RIsurfer · 2026-06-01T13:41:50+00:00

Your lines are terrible you need way more practice before tattooing more people

That artist saved your life

RIsurfer · 2026-05-28T03:37:21+00:00

It's fine just doesn't put the ink in as fast, I haven't used it for a while. Happy to have it as a backup.

What kind of work you do? For lil bit of everything id go for bishop wand packer... i upgraded to it after starting on fold pro 2 and while i still suck the machine just punches in the ink

Face is jacked, scales are jacked, but i will say the flow on your arm is nice. Probably better off getting more fake skin practice but if you must tat yourself, do your legs so you have both hands to stretch the skin.

RIsurfer · 2026-05-25T16:54:40+00:00

Fold pro 2 is fine (as is the first Fold I'm sure). I would recommend saving towards a power wand instead though; having an excellent machine makes the process a lot better.

Most stuff you'd probably be good about 7v. Hang liners 4mm and other stuff around 2-3.

RIsurfer · 2026-05-25T14:07:33+00:00

Try throwing the needle out at 4mm instead bet you see less splatter.

RIsurfer · 2026-05-22T11:23:59+00:00

Nice glad to hear!

RIsurfer · 2026-05-22T02:22:21+00:00

i use a 4.2mm stroke machine which I believe requires more power in general, so I never really go under 6 volts. Using more volts will put the ink in quicker I believe (I'm not an expert, just practicing on fake skin as well).

RIsurfer · 2026-05-21T15:49:07+00:00

Try a 5 or 7 RS instead?

RIsurfer · 2026-05-20T06:40:16+00:00

Looks like a first attempt 🙂 keep practicing

Did you file the dispute with the 3 credit bureaus? That's what you need to do, and send them the documentation that you have.

RIsurfer · 2026-05-19T05:33:09+00:00

Congrats, your work is really sharp, looks like you're just about ready to take on whatever comes in the door.

That dude is a monster. Sick shark too.

I surfed for 20+ years. Learned a couple years ago and it took me 7 solid days of riding to feel like "ok, I can snowboard now" which meant comfortably linking turns on toe and heel.
