Today, I'm thrilled to share with you an exclusive guide on blackout tattoos, focusing on one of the most challenging areas: the elbow. This comprehensive article, based on our latest YouTube video.
The Blackout Tattoo Process: Elbow Edition
Blackout tattoos are known for their bold and solid appearance, covering large areas of the skin in pure black ink. The elbow, with its unique contours and texture, presents a particular challenge.
Key Steps in Blackout Tattooing an elbow:
Choosing the Right Equipment: I use custom Forty Nine Round Magnum on Krucio Universal 2.0 tattoo machine, with a stroke of 3.8 millimeters.
Ink Selection: For this session, I use ALLEGORY ink.
Minimizing Pain and Bleeding: To reduce discomfort and bleeding, TKTX cream is applied beforehand. This technique results in minimal blood during the session, proving its effectiveness.
Positioning and Stretching: The model's comfort is key. They should lie down with their arm relaxed for better control over the skin's tension. Adjusting the arm's angle helps in covering different areas seamlessly.
Tattooing Technique: The process begins at the elbow's peak, working through different zones. The technique involves oval movements and criss-cross directions, ensuring even and deep saturation. Watch the following video instruction for the full guide!
