About Outlining with Tattoo Ink Tips
Outlining with tattoo ink is usually done with black ink. There are exceptions where the art you are doing is a solid color only, in these cases you may want to use a darker color base of the color of the tat to do the outline. Always keep a cup of distilled water with a dab of green soap around to dab your needle clean if there is buildup. Apply a dot of Vaseline on the area you are working to keep the ink from smearing. Always work from the side out so you do not distort the transfer. Do lines in one single stroke for solid and even lines. Always wipe evenly and soft, do not wipe too much as this may smear the ink and the transfer. Wiping with a soft dabbing motion will yield best results. For thicker lines, use a larger tattoo needle grouping and for smaller lines, use a smaller tattoo needle grouping. Always outline with a steady speed, doesn’t have to be too fast or slow but maintaining a steady speed will allow your hand to move in a steady motion that will produce even lines.
