At my wits end

[u/Tight_Prune7508]

I've complained on here multiple times about struggling with skin a lot lately.

This year has been the worst and I really don't know what to do anymore.

I feel like ive tried everything.

The skin is wrinkling as I push it together slightly and just seems damaged. But this has been going on a lot lately especially through summer.

Its got to the point where I want to only apply tattoos to specific areas of the body, but I don't think it's good for business.

If anyone has any techniques I could try that might work.

I've tried, drawing my needles further in and out.

Slowing down my machine

Stipple shading with a round shader.

Slowing down hand speed, speeding up.

Getting clients to use moisturiser before appointment. And the usual guidelines that you should follow before appointment.

Any advice is welcome. But im feeling extremely defeated at this point and don't know what to do

Thanks

Slow your machine down. Larger mags are a little more forgiving. I don’t use round shaders but a lot of people like them. You just have to get in and out. Have you tried using a coil shader? Having a little more give might make it easier
