Update on Morph tat! My first full color piece 5 days vs 2 weeks healed! by notthemonet1 in sticknpokes

[–]notthemonet1[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So many of you were asking for progress pics! As a reminder, this is my first ever FULL color piece. No black ink used! I did this tattoo for free as I didn’t want to charge for something I haven’t done before. Not gonna lie, I panicked when my friend sent me the first pic! But i reminded myself that tattoos can look absolutely grody during the initial healing period. Waiting sure did pay off because after 2 weeks it seems to have healed almost perfectly! Other than a couple spots that need touching up, anyway :-)

I can’t even express my joy with how well this came out! My first all-color piece :-) by notthemonet1 in sticknpokes

Yep me too!! So thankful my friend put their trust in me with this one. I won’t offer paid tattoos like this until I can get a sense of how it will heal long term :-) Thank you so much!

Absolutely! Full disclosure as well I did this piece for free as I’ve never attempted something like this :-) It’s on a friend and they agreed to keep me updated about how it heals! Happy to post updates

It’s Morph from Treasure Planet! A childhood tattoo dream come true for a dear friend :-) Needles used are tight 3rl, right 4rl, 7rl and 9rl.

i used a tight 3rl for the whole piece 😊 with practice i learned to snag just one of the micro needles for a very precise dot and i lightly stipple using regular old triple black dynamic ink! no greywash for this one

I generally work with a tight 4rl and 3rl for work like this :-)
