Thanks for explaining your needle length. I’ve noticed various artists have different opinions about how long to run a needle during a blackout. Great video!
Are you saying to use the thick layer of Vaseline to visually see if you missed a spot? I noticed that when I’m in good light and I have Aquaphor/Vaseline/Hustle butter on thick right after my tattoo I can see some patchiness I didn’t see initially while it was dry. Sometimes the blackouts I do as practice look solid but then I notice they’re patchy once they start healing a bit.
I use Vaseline on a majority of my tattoos, some I let dry heal, and even the ones that 25 years old and they still look good. Remember tattoos been around for thousands of years. Long before any Vaseline, derma skins, or ointment ever existed
@DAVIDson7777 I'm just starting again and I have been fixing my tattoos & blacking out a full sleeve into a honey comb & forgot how hard it can be to pack in on thick shin
