Lubeing the skin ?

Posted by Toby on 05.06.16Australia, NSW, Forster

I've heard it said and seen it done sometimes, but many don't.
Wanting to know if lubricatiing the skin with Vaseline before packing solid colours/black actually helps the colour go in? Or if it's a no no by most professionals?

RE:Lubeing the skin ?

Posted by jj_inker on 05.09.16London

Even though I spent most of my apprenticeship studying black and grey under my mentor, i fell for color as soon as i got the chance to do large pieces, and learnt mainly from my own trial and errors. I use vaseline for two things, sticking my ink caps down and coating the surrounding skin to make it easier to wipe clean. other than that I use Hustle butter/redemption/purple glide. For Colour work I prefer purple glide cause its a little more soothing (clients opinions), especially as you are working the skin a little more. but only a very fine layer on the area you are working. saves clogging needles and reducing ink flow. I would never go in dry, seems to give a blockier effect with the colour blending
