FAKE SKIN
Practice pieces tattooed on synthetic skin. A look at the work that happens before and between client sessions — line work, shading, color, and technique development.

WHY PRACTICE SKIN
Synthetic skin lets you put in reps without the pressure of a live client. Line consistency, shading gradients, needle depth — it all gets worked out here first.
SAME TECHNIQUES
Every piece on this page was tattooed using the same machines, inks, and techniques used on clients. The only difference is the canvas.
ONGOING PRACTICE
Practice doesn't stop when you go pro. Warming up before a long session, testing a new machine, or trying an unfamiliar style — fake skin is always part of the process.
