Hello Christina. I’ve been watching your videos and I like what your doing. I too am practicing the art of tattooing. I was wondering what you are using to clean your skins. I haven’t had the luck at keeping them clean as yours are. My skins seem to stain up real easy and I can’t get them clean. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Dennis

I use a product I bought on Amazon called, "Green Soap". It's a concentrated soap so I put it and some water into a spray bottle and use that while I work. At the end I then clean it up more under running water. I don't find that it loses much ink by doing it this way. I also use a 2mm thick fake skin that I buy on amazon as well they are not that expensive called, ITATOO.

What are you using to wipe cuz it kind of looks like ink with water

[@seansherburne9535]

What are you using to clean the fake skin while tatooing? Mine look black from so much smearing.

[@ChristinaSmith]

I use Green Soap this stuff: www.ebay.com/itm/Pure-Green-Soap-Tattoo-Medical-Supplies/271808782856?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=570634850453&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 It's concentrated so I dilute it in a spray bottle and spray a lot while working. I hope that helps. The key is really to just keep cleaning often.

May I ask what brand of practice skins you're using? I ordered a few off of ebay, they are super thin, don't take ink well, and oh my god don't try a down stroke pulling toward you, it catches and jumps and there's nothing smooth about it. Your videos are great btw, tell all the haters to sod off.

[@ChristinaSmith]

okay so I just keep with the same skins I've always used and not really shopped around much. I buy them off Amazon I get the small and larger sizes from a company called, ITATOO. They are super thin too only 2mm. But under my work space I have a piece of cardboard and more recently I've got a layer of silicone that was a super cheap baking sheet from China. Its one of those that are supposed to go in the often to keep stuff from sticking to them when you are baking. Its very thin too and nothing that was more than like $1. I have those two layers so that when my needle might go through the 2mm fake skin it's not getting bent and damaged as badly from the wood desk underneath.

What is your shading setup? How many drops of ink per cup and what do you mix it with? I'm mainly interested in how to get the lightest shades of gray.

[@ChristinaSmith]

I don't really have any special ratio that I also use. For this design however I was just using straight black I didn't use a diluted black with water at all. For other designs like my Princess Leia portrait I did have some small water cups that are made of glass that I put water and ink into and again it's not a real science. I think maybe get some watercolor and practice that way so you can get a feel of what dilutions work for you and then bring that same information into your cups for tattoos. That way you aren't having to waste ink as you're learning? Again I'm no expert just self-learning here from my background in the arts some things transfer to the tattoo world others do not.

[@animalsshouldlive]

Thanks for the info, i'm just a beginner, also self-learning so there's a lot to pick up.

[@TheBionicleRocks]

I would get this tattoooed on me

[@newseazy]

How much time from start to finish?

[@sarkup8575]

try to use petroleum to clean its better ✌
