How to tattoo Realistic Animals

They are the same… Right? That’s what they say… This is probably one of the major deceits when it comes to tattooing Realistic Animals.

There was no quality training in the tattoo industry, that's why most tattooists merely focused on teaching technique.

Should fur be made with the Magnum on its side? Do I have to outline the whiskers? How much white ink is do we need in the fangs?

And then, sink or swim!

OK, but… how should tiger whiskers be tattooed, then?

If you're the kind of person who only finds interest in answering these technical questions; or who tends to believe that the most important thing about tattooing a leopard is knowing how to tattoo the spots right… The best would be to find comfort on any YouTube video.

Putting the cart before the horse is worthless! Well, in this case, the mane before the lion.

We are here to learn. For real.
