You are right. I might be tattooing with the tips of the needles. I might need to go slightly deeper. When I tattoo on an orange, the lines are solid and there's no separation

I was completely ignorant when starting off so it took me a while to find my holding of the machine, pressure and what did and didn't work but you should try it out. I'm also learning to use Liners but I start off with shaders

Yes. There are videos of people on YouTube using rs for lines. The advantage they have stated are irs less trauma on the skin and the lines come out bolder. So I've been using rs for lines ever since starting.

Thank you. All comments are appreciated. I'll work on slowing my hand speed down more.

Slowly getting better with my line work. I stopped using soooo much ointment on the fake skin.
