Skin Stretching

Category

machine control

Visual traits

Invisible in the finished piece; its absence shows as wobble and inconsistent depth.

Scale behavior

NOT SOURCED HERE. The fetched pages do not relate stretch to design scale or to body area, and nothing is inferred.

Execution notes

Directional, not merely tight - the source specifies the direction relative to the line being pulled.

Tattooability notes

The stretching hand is one of the three anchors in technique_three_points_of_contact; the two rows are the same hand doing two jobs and are cross-referenced rather than merged.

Conflicts or cautions

A named procedure with a stated direction, so it clears the bar for its own row. Everything the corpus would want about which body areas need most stretch is unsourced and left blank.

  Tattooing 101

  Professional tattoo-education page covering lining, packing and shading as separable skills. It defines packing by outcome - ““Packing” in ink means filling in a section of skin with a single color or pure black ink.” - and by hand motion, and states the trauma constraint that bounds every multi-pass technique: “each pass over the skin causes more trauma to the skin”. Also the source for lining, line weight, riding the tube, floating the needle, bloodlining, graylining and colour order, which are written in a later tranche of this same batch. IMPORTANT LIMIT: Tier 2 trade education; execution claims only.
