Pig Skin Tattoo

i have my first ever tattoo client and i'm nervous so i had to practice on pig skin before i do the actual tat.

the first time i held the tattoo gun, i was confused because of the weight and the machine vibrates. it's a lot different from holding a brush or a pencil.

i was happy i did the practice because i learned a lot. i learned a bit on how to tune my machine and about applying colors. i also discovered that i improved my technique. i'm getting used to the vibration and the weight of the tattoo gun. i did good on the lines on the pig skin but i know it's still different when i'm actually tattooing.

i felt good after the pig skin tat because i think i'm ready to tattoo on humans. here are pictures of the pig skin tat.
