Fine Line Tattoo Theory - Can These Tattoos Last?

Hi Rian, some tattoo artists dilute their ink to minimise movement of ink particles. They tend to use 50/50 or 70/30 dilution. What do you think about this technique ever come across it? Thanks for the channel.

I think you're a good teacher but to have more consistence, would be necessary: 1. show images with examples. 2. show tattoos fine line after some years. I mean, you need to go beyond the theory. Then, I suggest part 2. Tks
