Ever wondered how to tattoo leather without ruining the hide?
This customized tattooed leather piece from @lonelyangeltattoos using Angelus Leather Paints. π¨ Here is the blueprint for her current process:
The Technical Specs
Machine & Voltage: Using a heavy-stroke rotary tattoo machine set between 7-8v.
Needle Choice: A 3RL (Round Liner) is the go-to for those crisp, detailed results.
The Sketch: I map everything out first using a white charcoal pencil before hitting it with the needle.
Pro Tips for Leather Work
Leather is less forgiving than skin. To get solid lines, she uses a gentle fine line technique with multiple passes. This builds depth without causing rips or compromising the leather's integrity.
Pro Tip: Keep the surface slightly damp and wipe frequently with green soap and alcohol. Be fast, excess ink can stain the leather permanently!
