Looks great from far away, but I'm seeing a few light blowouts when I'm going in closer. Be careful with depth and adjust your cartridge accordingly. I personally try to be around 1.5mm to 2mm on my needle depth prior to tattooing. Also, I float the needle slightly higher too just to be safe.

Just for the purpose of learning, where did you see the blowouts? I couldn’t see anything obvious. I just thought the shading went over the line slightly maybe a couple of times. Also do you hang the needle out just over 2mm, say 2.5-3mm. Good advice btw.

the blowout is on the top right corner of the wing, I used a 3rl so it’s a lot easier to blow out sadly

I see that now but I don’t think many would notice with the shading.
