Hello. The new guy here. My first batch of ink was done in 1982. There were two different men and both of them did similar work, with similar healing. Fast forward to 2009. Got the itch to do one and than I couldnt stop until it wrapped all the way around. I have used 3 different local artists. At each one I have asked about equipment and tecnology, you know… how has it changed since 1982? It sure looks like the same thing to me. My question is… 2 out 3 artists had similar healing, and no bleeding while the work was being done. The last guy seemed to really pound the ink in, there was a fair amount of blood/ ooze and claimed it was more traditional. Is there a correct depth for the ink? I would rather heal quicker and have less pain during the inkage. Here is the catch.. The last guy did the best work and had the most talent. Thank you. M
Hi
Well there is some argument about it but for pigment to retain in the skin it has to be around the 4th layer which is in the dermis (lower skin).
Some artists do go deeper that can result in heavy bleeding and scabbing – it is really down to the technique of the artist if they are heavy handed unlikely to change their ways.
