reelskin staining

Hey
I just got a piece of Reelskin in hopes of not having to deal with stains when wiping off excess ink, but my ink is still staining horribly no matter what technique or product I use. I'm using Kashoku ink, could that be the problem?

Hi Kian, Sweden here too ? You always have to apply a thin layer of ointment before you tattoo. Not just once, but many times.

Cold pressed coconut oil is really the best (you find it at any grocery store). You can of course use vaseline too, but it clogs the needle easier and ink is not as easy to wipe.

You can go over the sheet with some coconut oil whenever you want to clean the sheet too. Reelskin is not like the cheap skin, you can wipe it as many times as you like.

After I'm finished with the entire tattoo I usually clean the skin with disinfection because it makes it super clean.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! Didn't cross my mind to apply anything before tattooing. And I'll try coconut oil as well ?
