1.How can we master the technique of tattoo cutting quickly?
Firstly understand the tattoo needle, we commonly used tattoo round needle has 3 needles, 5 needles, 7 needles, 9 needles, etc., in the cutting line, the best round needle is after the process of narrowing. The needle that has not been tapered is prone to bifurcate when cutting, and the cut line is not round enough, so we must pay attention to it when we buy a tattoo needle. Here I would like to introduce my experience in secant for your reference.
2.If the needle is too long, it is easy to hook the meat.
When cutting, we adjust the length of the needle to be about 1.5-2 mm. The length of the needle should be moderate, not too long or too short. If the needle is too long, it is easy to walk and jump. If the needle is too short, it will not cut the thread.We need to apply petroleum jelly on the skin to increase the lubricity before cutting the thread, so that the needle will be smoother, and the strength of the cutting thread is also very important. It must be mastered. Generally, the strength of the thread cutting machine is less than that of the fog machine, and the frequency is required. Larger than the fog machine, so that the lines when cutting the line will be smoother and rounder.
3.Our usual method of secant thread is to use buried needle.
This method is to use the needle tip to fit the skin and move the needle at a uniform speed. If the needle movement speed is too slow, the lines are easy to faint or appear spots. If the needle is too fast, the lines will be unclear or intermittent. This method requires frequent practice and mastery. Because it is not easy to see the needle tip during the thread cutting process, sometimes it is impossible to accurately grasp the position of the line, so it is necessary to practice to master the needle feel.
4.Cutting the thread with clean water
When cutting the line, you can choose different colors according to different graphics. If you need to not show the color of the line, you can also use clear water to cut the line. Use clean water to cut the line so that you can see the positioning line of the outline during the drawing process, and you can't see the line after the tattoo is restored. The tattoo artist calle this the waterline.
5.Method of thread cutting with hanging needle
Hanging needle refers to leaving the needle mouth away from the skin. This method is generally used to deal with local details, and this method is easy to see the position of the needle tip, with high accuracy, but it is not suitable for long thread cutting, because it can not better grasp the uniform needle length and speed.Sometimes we will use row needle to cut the thread. This method will make a very smooth arc, and can also make the effect of thickness gradient. Using row needle to cut the thread is to use the sharp corner of the needle, and follow the direction of the needle
