STRETCHING THE SKIN

When tattooing, the skin needs to be tight at all times. Tattooing the arm if fairly easy as far as body areas go. Wrap your hand around the back side of the arm or wherever the transfer was placed. With your thumb and fingers stretch the akin from side to side.

When tattooing larger areas, like backs, chests, and shoulders, its always nice to have a helper around to help stretch the skin. Most of the time that is not possible so you will need to do a lot of work between the thumb and fore fingers.

I have found that is also works well when pulling down below the tattoo and pushing up above the tattoo.
