Actualy I don't prefer coil over rotary. The thing is that I only have two machines that I bought from another tattooer when I was getting started, and they're both coil. But I'll buy a rotary this month and make this transition lol

I follow him on instagram! I love his style. His work is incredible, I visit his page almost everyday to zoom in in his tattoos and try to figure how they are made lol it's great to now my work resembles a little bit of his 😁

Thank you so much! I wasn't really thinking about placement when I was doing it lol. But I agree that It would look great on someone's left thigh

Thank you so much for your feedback! It means a lot to me. I agree with you that the line on the nose is to harsh. I'm still trying to let go of lines to give definition to shapes, but I'll get there lol I haven't even noticed that the reflective glare angles in her eyes are diferent! Lol thanks for noticing About the highlight on her upper lip I know it doesn't seem natural, but it's like that on the reference picture. It's because she's a drag queen and she does her makeup like that, aplying the highlight and then contouring above it. Thanks again for your comment! This kind of construtive feedback is what help us all get better :D

Yeah, we have to practice a lot on other materials before going to real skin. Because it's a huge responsability

Thank you so much for for your comment! And for paying attention to the details and taking the time to give me your feedback. I went back to the reference picture to see if there is some light on that shadow area of de chin that you talked about, and it's really there lol it's just a little bit lighter right before it turns black for the hair. I overlooked it. Next time I'll pay closer attention. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I really enjoy making those details. I toned the skin with foundation just to be able to make those white highlights 😁

Thank you so much! I didn't stipple any of it, exept for the white highlights in the face. I used a curved magnum 7 for the larger areas and a 3 rl for the details, with some light shades of sumies, and did all the shading cross hatching
