I worked on this last night! My most proud piece 😍. I was practicing my line depth more so I took pictures of where imma have my needle sticking out from now on to make my lines more consistent! I used 9Rs, 5Rl and 13Rm. The shading ended much better than when I started!
Me and my piecer doing a trade! She's done all of my piercings except for one, I love her work 😭💕

TATTOO PROPAGANDA I WON’T BE FALLING FOR 😎👀 PART 1
As a woman of colour, with tattoos, I’ve heard so much nonsense. I’ve had other people tell me “You don’t look ladylike covered in tattoos”. Tattoos have nothing to do with how I carry myself or how feminine I feel. 🤣💀

Imma show you I'm giving distance better than I can tell you, when you get to trying to explain shit to people is when stuff starts getting all mucky. I believe in conversations but you gotta show me you can handle a conversation.

I am itching to play my game but I gotta keep going! I am so close to finding my groove with this apprenticeship! I can taste it. I'm just trying to find my people who wouldn't mind getting some visually mind blowing shit tattooed on their body for me to practice.
