Tips & Tricks

Organising sleeves

One Tattoo Project per sleeve. Clear name. Sessions linked. Healed photos on the project.

Recording healed photos

Photograph healed work in consistent light when you can. Attach before planning touch-ups.

Building machine presets

Name presets the way you speak: “Soft lining”, “Colour pack — bold”.

Colour Lab workflow

Save mixes when you nail a tone. Future portraits get faster.

Reference organisation

Project-specific references on the Tattoo Project or Consultation. General flash in Reference Library.

Printing large multi-page stencils

Confirm paper size, print every page at actual size, use overlap and alignment tabs when taping.

Preparing consultations

Capture idea and placement while the client is there. Create the client inline if they are new. Add a Tattoo Project when the piece is confirmed.
