Introduction to Etching Tattoos

“Our Domestika course is over! I want to thank you for following my lessons and taking this path with me, discovering the world of tattoo etching. Now I'll show you how to share the steps you followed to get to the final result, so you can show the whole community your creative process! First, start with a winning pictorial image and study it. The more you understand how to adapt it to the part to be tattooed, the more you will understand how to modify and simplify it to insert it in a natural and ergonomic way on the client's body. Tell us your choice and your thoughts on it!

Ergonomically adapt the chosen image to the client's body and mark the right position with the marker. Edit the drawing by hand on paper, highlighting the outline, and then lighten the lines with Photoshop. Print and apply the stencil. Now, start tattooing: let yourself be led by the essentiality of the line. Start with a light typing of the entire stencil and then, calmly, tap the outline so that it stands out. Finally, create the tops and volumes with the etching technique. Then take care of the tattoo to make it last over time. Show the community your final result! Do you like? I really hope so! Don't forget to leave feedback to other people who have taken the course. I'll try to be as present as possible in the forum too to be able to give you some advice and get to know each other better, but be patient if it takes me some time to do it. Thanks again for taking my course! Soon!”
