thank you so much for the replies
aftercare is not the issue because the ink doesnt even go in. she does bleed a lot but she takes black perfectly. it doesnt make any sense to me either, but i have heard of the million to one odds of ink rejection.
im kind of lost at this point.

but to answer the question of aftercare, she keeps it out of the sunlight and puts a&e ointment on it every few hours or so.

when the artist tattoos me, the ink goes into the skin wonderfully and i have some beautiful tattoos. do you think it could be that it is on a fatty part of her arm?

well.. i would talk about the pain of course, and the risks.. the whole preception in the public eye. ive been to a few places where ive been stared at like im a bomb waiting to explode.
talk about the “think before ink” and researching artists and meanings of tattoos and what not
some tattoos can be gang affiliated and ppl not even know it. like the clover for instance. or the sparrow.
and the history of tattooing if you can find that.
all fascinating stuff for ppl that are into tattooing.

well, anything really.. ive been learning trial and error on myself. haha
the few ppl i have tattooed are very happy with the work though so thats all that matters

but i have trouble with getting some colors to stick and certain shading. mixing the gray wash is a pain sometimes.. and color mixing, ink types. techniques. the round shaders are a pain in the butt for me.
machine preferences, like.. what makes a good machine.

a few ideas i guess… i would just start from the top if i was to create a class and go over everything you know

ive always been told to keep the original cover on from 1-4 hours then wash with antibacterial soap and pat dry then use a&d ointment. Try to prevent scabbing because if the scab comes off so will the color.. then use lubiderm or curel lotion, unscented of course.. or you can find something called tattoo goo.. that stuff works wonders
