One of my first self tattoos

I've decided to tattoo a dotwork cross on my upper leg (where nobody can see it in just in case it was a complete disaster).

At the time I took this photo, the tattoo is about 2 days old, so it still has quite a bit of healing time to go.

It's been good practice I think and I'm surprised at how well this came out considering how long I've been at it and my background.

The equipment I used:

• Cheap Stigma coil machine from China.

• Legit Radiant Black Ink (was expensive, but I'm too scared to use cloned ink).

• Cheap 5RL needles from China.

• Cheap 7VT disposable tip from China.

I used a 7VT just because I didn't have any more 5R tips at hand and I was itching for a new tattoo, it seemed to work out ok, I decided on dotting it out just because I wasn't sure if the tip would keep my needle steady or not.

I found this to be a pleasant experience.
