yeah guys, unless you tattoo I wouldn't comment.
It's not as easy as it looks. and this is latex fake skin. 10x worse than real skin.

When you pull a line, make sure to follow the line all the way through. don't ever pick up your machine mid line unless you absolutely have to.

your also going in way to deep, your needle should not extend more than a quarters thickness at max.

also your ink is crappy. invest in good ink, like moms or intenze.

don't even worry about shading until your linework is better. Stay away from colors to. Just black ink

And small needles are harder to run straight lines, try using a 7round liner. not what i assume is a 3 liner.

I'm not sure what your shading with, but I assume its a flat shader. Round / flat is really more of a preference.
When you do shade I recommend using 9 round shader to learn. Flat shaders tend to leave ugly lines in the shading.

you know linework is literally the most important aspect of a great tattooer, right?

I agree, this shit has to be harder than digi art, cmon your canvas can actually move and if you mess up you cant send it to the recycle bin.
