Density without unnecessary trauma
The main mistake is trying to build saturation through extra passes. First establish stable technique, angle and speed.
01. Skin preparation
Stretch creates a controlled surface. Without it, even good pigment starts behaving unpredictably.
02. Hand speed
Too fast creates gaps. Too slow increases trauma. Density comes from a consistent rhythm.
03. Healing
The result is judged after full healing, not at the end of the session. That is why healed photos matter more to me than fresh ones.
