Good job for your first tat. I bought my 75$ amazon tattoo machine on Amazon end of May and started obsessing right away I returned the machine and got a Mast Flip 2 wireless, bought everything Dynamic ink, green soap, electrum and stencil stuff, good quality fake skins, 4 pack of 50 needles from 3rl to 15 mags, bugpins, etc... I bought a stencil printer and that changed everything! I have done 100+ tattoos on fake skins, 5 on my skin, 3 on friends who asked for it (I suggested them not to do it and I didn't want to do it but they wanted it anyway so I did it and they turned out great) ... Now i'm working with human realism portraits, lions and tigers portrait, perfecting the perfect rose and I practice on fake skin each and every day. I skipped 3 or 5 days since I got the machine I just love it. I pack as much as I can on a page, then print it. I then put it thrue the stencil printer and get as much printed as I can so I don't waste stencil printing paper. I put stencils on fake skin for the next days to dry so I always have practice skin ready to go with dry stencils. My right leg I do piece by piece it's a complete geometric/mandala from ankle to the top top and soon i'll do a portrait on my skin since i'm getting more confortable with more technical tattoos, gray wash, the right needles for the right spot, etc. Practice is the name of the game I suck at drawing, but I love tattooing. Keep up the good work and post more! A++
