Shading Red Ink in Self-Tattoo

At this point, we're just continuing on with the red process and I've started in the middle and I've started fanning the pigment out in different directions. And I've layered the pigment in using the magnum in a forward motion like we talked about earlier. As you can see, the pigments in and now what we're going to do is we're going to back, we're going to use the magnum backwards and kind of do a nice fade. And here's how we're going to do this, we've already started with our red right in the center, right here, so we're going to fan on out, like this. And what this does is this gives a nice color blend without over saturating the area. And see there's pigment in the middle, right, so you can go like this and pull it out in these areas like this. And when you wipe, you see you've got a really nice, smooth blend and you can check on all of these on how it fans out and looks really nice. So, we've completed the red at this point and the red in the center, so we're finished with the red at this point and we're going to move on to the next step coming up.
