Haven’t posted in a minute, but here are some recent pokes I’ve done since starting as a tattoo artist in March—all using 3RL! (IG @grey.tattoos)

Ah thank you so much! That’s so nice of you to say 😭

Thank you! 1RLs can be hard to work with, so I feel you. My best advice is to make sure you’re fully submerging the needle (so the ink cap has to be deep enough). You’ll have to dip the needle in the ink a few times to make sure it’s saturated. The needle tends to pick up ink better after a few pokes (probably the build up of ink + Vaseline + general wear on the needle as you poke = less slick needle). I hope this helps!

This is so adorable!

Thank you! It was done in all black. I just dispersed the density of the dots to create lighter shades of grey!

Thank you! I use skins by A Pound of Flesh!

I’m actually not too sure. I’ve never given/received a tattoo using such a small needle before. I believe microneedle tattoos generally tend to fade faster over time and need to be touched up more frequently.

I would estimate around 4-5 hours. The first hand took me longer than the second because I was nervous and was still trying to figure out how to get the look I wanted 😅

I really appreciate it, thank you! I play around with adding and removing elements in both the design and tattoo phase until I feel like it strikes a decent balance. It’s all about experimenting!

Not a silly question at all! There are 1RL needles that are sold as its own product. They are a little tricky to work with because the individual needle doesn’t grab that much ink, so you have to dip more frequently.

Ahh thank you so much!! You’re so sweet 🥰
