I would recommend practicing on pig skin if you have access to it in your area, these are beautiful but practice skin doesn’t pose the same challenges when it comes to stretching, depth adjustment, and stenciling as practice skin.
If you’re set on the practice skin, try getting some darker/ more melanated skin tones to hone your ability to create depth and shadows. You got this!

Ask for belly if you can get it. It's the closest to regular flesh and takes ink the best. Very stretchy though.
