In the business of tattooing there is no room for mistakes, therefore it is wise to get it right the first time. As in life you will have your good days andyour bad days. A word of advice, if for some reason you don't feel like tattooing, try to leave the problems aside.
After applying the transfer and allowing time to dry you are ready to start the outline. Apply a thin coat of vaseline over the transfer. I recommend that someone will little experience use a #3 needle liner to start. To properly use a single needle takes time to learn to use it the right way, so get a little work under your belt before attempting this. Start at the bottom of the tattoo. At the beginning of a line with a smooth and steady, even stroke continue to the end of the line, making sure not to go too slow to too fast.
Never stop in between lines. You will find that it is very difficult to connect the lines perfectly again. Continue to connect the lines. Always tattoo in a downward motion. You will want to be careful not to over run the lines, I will call cross over.
After finishing a line, wipe softly with a paper towel. You need to make sure you have that smooth even line the first time so you don't have to go back and darken in the lines. This could lead to double lining. With experience and the proper equipment, in time, this will almost become automatic.
