From Design to Skin
This section shows the full tattoo process in real time, with a focus on technical decisions that actually matter while working on skin.
I explain why I choose specific needles, when I switch them, and how each tool affects color, texture, and healing.
This section covers:
• Cartridges and switching logic (RL, Magnum, sizes, when and why)
• Building a working color palette for the sketch
• Skin stretching: hand positioning and tension control
• Machine handling and movement mechanics
• Color packing vs layering — when to push and when to stop
• Working with gradients, saturation, and density on skin
• Building depth and separation without over-detailing
• Preventing trauma and avoiding overworking
• Real-time problem solving during the session
Everything is explained exactly in the order it happens during the tattoo.
