You obviously dont understand me.

Everyone runs their machines different.. It depends on what people are comfortable with. Some people like to use a longer throw with higher power.

Personally, for shaded stuff I use a short throw and a long throw for solid stuff.

Some people have to push harder to get good lines because their machines arent…[Read more]

Some people hurt more.. It all depends on how they run their machines and if they like to dig. Sometimes barely touching the skin hurts more than pushing it in. There are a lot of factors.

A little trick I learned is to stay relaxed. Dont even clench your teeth. If you tighten any muscle in your body it makes it works.

I dont know where youre at, but rite aid and cvs sell it. You should be able to find it at any drug store.. Its made by eucerin.

My first post also.

Im not too experienced in cover-ups, but your best bet would be to try and lighten it.

Ive never used any of the acid peels, but I know how they work and the principals are correct.. You could give it a shot.. Or go in for a few laser sessions.

Lightening the tattoo significantly improves your chances of getting it covered…[Read more]
