If you are a beginner tattoo artist focusing on developing your artistic skill is very important. Learning to line and shade as a beginner tattoo artist can be really difficult because skin and needles are very different than any other canvas you are used to creating art on. When you are first learning to tattoo as a beginner, focusing less on equipment and more on how the skin responds to lining and shading is super important! Don't get discouraged when you are new to tattooing. Just keep learning!
