I have a question, is more a doubt though, it might be silly and the answer might be quite obvious, but, do you think that the pulse to hold a tattoo machine can be mastered with time, or you have to have the pulse of a plastic surgeon? 😊 thank you for you time and the videos!

[@CULTonika]

what do you mean by the pulse to hold the machine? shaky hands?

[@danieljfmoreno]

@@CULTonika yeah, shaky hands, I ask because long time ago, when I was younger I had this kit for practice, and the grips were kinda heavy, made of steal I believe, and, in a way, that helped me reduce the shaking, but is there a way to control it?, or perhaps I should try another profession?

@@danieljfmoreno sorry, don't understand clearly what exactly you are speaking about . If you are describing the vibrations from the machine - a big heavy gripper will help you dampen those vibrations, and will give you a good weight balance. If you are speaking of shaky hands because you are nervous, confidence comes with practice, but that too has a lot about a comfortable grip, suitable for the size of your hands, and of course - the equipment that does not fail you. Any profession if you truly want to master it - requires a lot of financial and timely contribution to collect decent knowledge and well working tools.

@@CULTonika Thank you so much for your time and for the answer, you are right, confidence earned with time and experience, and good equipments are the key, off course I would never find out if I can actually become good if I stop trying. Again, thank you for everything! 🙌🖤🖤

Hi! I’ve a question, why do you suggest using a 3rl for the outline, instead of a thicker needle?

[@CULTonika]

because if you are making a blackwork tattoo you don’t need a thick outline. The less visible your outline is after healing solid black ink, the better.

@@CULTonika ahh that makes a lot of sense, thank you! 🙏🏼

[@CULTonika]

thick outlines are suitable only where they NEED to be seen within the image
