What Tattoo Artists Say About Electrum Tattoo Supplies
"My favorite thing about Electrum's Inks is how smooth it is to saturate and blend pieces! From mixing to applying, it's always so smooth and buttery! It's healed finish is also super satisfying and perfectly pigmented."
"I've been using their stencil transfer gel for years. I was excited to recently find out they offer so much more. Their own stencil paper, tattoo cartridges, grips. Just received my first order and my box had positive vibes all over it. I'm not a girl or anything and I've never used this word before... but it was adorable. Or "Adorbs" if my slang is hip."
"I've been using Electrum Ink for well over a year now when they first launched in Australia.I especially love the quirky and fun names of the colors! Even from my first use I noticed how easily they saturated into the skin and blended. My healed work definitely comes back super vibrant even with pastel colours."
"Searching for an XL (XXL) arm rest, and I’ve had experience with 2 big name brands. One “workshop” and Electrum. I can honestly say the one thing that set these two apart for me was the customer service and willingness to actually hear me, and help."
"The products they supply my tattoo guy make my tattoos so much easier!!! Thank you. He put the clear DERM layer (I think that's what it is called) helped with my healing so so so much!"
"Since I started using their full range, I've experienced the comfort, quality and outstanding performance they bring to the tattoo process. What I love the most is how functional everything is: each product is designed with professional logic, aimed at making every stage of the process easier and more efficient."
"This heals fucking black"

Linework Troubleshooting: 20 Problems and How to Fix Them
Linework is the foundation of tattooing — and it’s also the first thing to expose a beginner’s technique. If your lines feel shaky, inconsistent, or unpredictable, you’re not alone. Here are the most common linework problems apprentices face and exactly how to fix them. 1. Wobbly Lines Cause: No anchor point / floating handFix: Plant your pinky or side of your hand. Create a tripod with your grip. 2. Shaky Lines Cause: Death grip / over-caffeination / poor breathingFix: Relax your hand. Exhale during long pulls. Take breaks. 3. Inconsistent Line Weight Cause: Uneven speed or pressureFix: Maintain a steady machine speed and keep your hand movement consistent. 4. Lines Not Reaching the Dermis Cause: Shallow depthFix: Adjust hand angle, stretch tighter, and ensure the needle is hanging out properly. 5. Blown-Out Lines Cause: Too deep, too slow, or no stretchFix: Tighten your stretch and increase speed so you’re not dwelling in one spot. 6. Scratchy Texture Cause: Slow pulls or dragging needlesFix: Increase voltage slightly. Avoid dragging — let the machine do the work. 7. Patchy Lines Cause: Lifting too early or inconsistent saturationFix: Take slower pulls. Keep your machine angle consistent. 8. Double Lines Cause: Stencil movementFix: Let stencil fully dry before tattooing. Avoid leaning your hand on fresh stencil. 9. Lines Not Connecting Cause: Poor planningFix: Map your stroke direction. Tattoo from solid-to-open space. 10. Needle Clogging Cause: Heavy inks + slow cleaningFix: Rinse frequently, wipe less often, run the needle through Cleanse between dips. 11. Skipping Lines Cause: Poor stretch or tough skinFix: Triangle stretch. Flatten the skin before starting the pull. 12. Dragged Circles Cause: Pulling the whole circle in one goFix: Break circles into 3–4 segments. 13. Uneven Curves Cause: Overshooting during turnsFix: Move your body, not just your wrist. 14. Flicking Out Lines Cause: Lifting too fast at the endFix: Slow your lift. Finish with purpose, not panic. 15. Blowouts on Thinner Skin Cause: Using the same pressure everywhereFix: Reduce depth + lighten touch on wrists, ankles, inner arm, etc. 16. Chewed-Up Skin Cause: Overworking linesFix: One confident pass. If needed, do a second pass after a few minutes. 17. Ink Spreading Under Stencil Cause: Heavy globs of ointmentFix: Use less. Let stencil and skin fully dry. 18. Uneven Black Packing Near Lines Cause: Wrong needle groupingFix: Use proper liners for lines + mags for fill. 19. Needle Drag in Long Pulls Cause: Low-quality cartridges or poor membrane tensionFix: Use cartridges with consistent tension — like Fire — for smooth pulls. (Fire Cartridges note: Their stabilized membrane and tight grouping help with consistent hand speed and cleaner line flow. That’s why apprentices notice fewer skips and wobbles with them.) 20. Lines Look Great at First… Then Heal Thin Cause: inconsistent depth or timid pressureFix: Commit to the line. Confident pressure, solid stretch, steady speed.

How to Protect Your Tattoo in Winter (When Everyone’s Skin Hates You)
Winter is the season your skin loves to betray you. Dry air outside, blasting heaters inside, hot showers, windburn — it’s all a recipe for flaky, irritated skin that can make your tattoo look dull, itchy, or even distorted while it heals. But winter doesn’t have to wreck your ink. With a few smart habits, you can keep your tattoos sharp, hydrated, and vibrant through even the worst February. 1. Moisture Is Everything — And Winter Steals It From You Cold air holds almost no moisture. Your skin loses hydration faster, which can cause: • flaking• dullness• tightness• irritation• raised or bumpy tattoos (especially older ones) During winter, moisturization isn’t optional. It’s survival. What clients should do:Use a gentle moisturizer consistently — not just when the tattoo feels dry. Hydrated skin stays flexible and preserves the clarity of your lines. 2. Hot Showers Are Winter’s Silent Tattoo Killer Everyone loves boiling showers when it’s freezing outside — but that hot water strips the skin’s barrier faster than anything. When the barrier breaks down, tattoos look faded, patchy, and irritated. Swap this:Scalding showers → warm showersLong soaks → quick rinsesFragranced soaps → gentle, pH-balanced washes 3. Healing Tattoos Hate Heavy Clothing Friction Winter = sweaters, wool, layering on layering. Healing tattoos = do not want that. Friction can cause: • premature scabbing• peeling• scuffing• ink loss in fresh tattoos If your tattoo is fresh, choose: • loose cotton• breathable layers• nothing abrasive• nothing that sticks• avoid tight leggings or heavy wool over fresh tattoos Think cozy, not suffocating. 4. Keep Your Skin From Freezing (Literally) It doesn’t take much wind for exposed skin to chap or crack. Fresh tattoos can get: • windburn• stinging• dryness• irritated flaking Cover your tattoo outside — but avoid airtight plastic or clingy materials. 5. Humidifiers Are Your Secret Weapon Indoor heating dries out skin faster than outdoor cold. Running a humidifier adds moisture back into the air and makes a massive difference for tattoo longevity. If someone’s tattoos get itchy or raised every winter, this is usually the fix. 6. Winter Sun Is Still Sun (Sneaky but Real) Winter has a false sense of security — but UV rays bounce off snow and hit your skin even harder. UV = the #1 cause of tattoo fading. Once healed, your tattoo still needs SPF, even in winter, even on cloudy days. Winter Tattoo Care Summary • moisturize regularly• avoid scalding showers• keep friction low• use gentle cleansers• consider a humidifier• cover tattoos from wind• SPF once healed If summer is about protection, winter is about prevention. Take care of the skin and the tattoo will take care of itself.

THE 72-HOUR CANCELLATION WAVE - How to Protect Yourself Legally, Financially & Emotionally When Clients Bail at the Worst Possible Time.
If you’re losing money to last-minute cancellations… you’re not alone. 2024–2025 brought the biggest spike in 72-hour cancellations the tattoo industry has ever seen. Weather.Inflation.Childcare shortages.Job instability.Mental health waves.Seasonal depression. It’s not personal — but it IS a financial nightmare. Here’s what most artists don’t know:The majority of cancellations happen between 72–24 hours before the appointment.NOT the same day.NOT the 48-hour mark.72 hours. And unless your policy is structured to protect you in that exact window… you’re bleeding income. Let’s fix that. 1. The Industry Stats Every Artist Should Know Recent data across the US, Canada, UK & EU shows: • 72-hour cancellations are up 18–30% Across all markets and specialties. • Sunday–Tuesday are the danger days People get anxious before the week starts and bail. • Larger pieces cancel at higher rates Fear of cost + fear of commitment = bye. • Evening appointments cancel more than mornings Decision fatigue plays a role. • Most last-minute cancellations can be prevented Clients often panic. Scripts + reminders stop it. 2. How to Prevent 72-Hour Cancellations (Scripts Included) A. The Confirmation Script That Actually Works Send 3–5 days before the tattoo: “Hey! Just confirming everything for your tattoo on [DAY]. If you have ANY questions, nerves, or need to check details — I’ve got you. Here’s what to bring + what to expect. See you soon!” Clients get nervous.Reassurance reduces bailouts. B. The Deposit Reminder Script (Not threatening. Just grounding.) “Your deposit is applied toward your final total, and the appointment is fully locked in. If you need anything before then (prep questions, design nerves, etc.) just message me!” This reduces flakey panic-confirmation spirals. C. The “No-Reschedule Roulette” Script For clients testing boundaries: “I can move your appointment once if needed, but inside 72 hours my cancellation policy kicks in because I can’t refill the spot on short notice. Let me know what works best for you.” Clear. Calm. Firm. 3. Legally-Safe Cancellation Fee Structures Every policy must include: ✔ Clear timeframe “Inside 72 hours…” ✔ Clear consequence “Deposit is forfeited” or “50% fee due” ✔ Delivery method Clients must see it BEFORE booking. ✔ Neutral language Policy should sound procedural, not emotional. ✔ Digital agreement Screenshots, booking forms, emailed confirmations = proof. Recommended Policy Templates Option 1 — Deposit Forfeit Model Inside 72 hours → deposit forfeitedSimple. Enforceable. Widely used. Option 2 — 50% Cancellation Fee For artists doing large pieces. Inside 72 hours → 50% of expected session cost due. Works best for:• Day sessions• Large-scale projects• Returning clients Option 3 — Hybrid Model Deposit is forfeit+a smaller additional fee for high-volume days (Fri-Sun) This balances fairness + revenue protection. 4. Conflict-Free Language to Enforce Your Policy This is the “gentle spine” approach: soft tone, solid boundary. Template 1: They cancel inside 72 hours “Thanks for letting me know. Since we’re inside the 72-hour window, my cancellation policy applies and the deposit is forfeited. If you’d like to rebook, I can send available dates.” Template 2: They want a refund “I totally understand where you’re coming from. My booking policy is the same for every client so it stays fair and consistent. Inside 72 hours, deposits are non-refundable because I can't refill the time slot on short notice.” Template 3: They try to push back “I hear you — and I appreciate you being upfront. My policies are in place to protect my time, prep work, and income. I’m happy to help you find a new date, but the cancellation fee still applies.” 5. The Gift Card Salvage Strategy (Turns Cancellations Into Sales) If someone cancels inside 72 hours and is mad about losing money?Offer this: “If you prefer, I can convert your deposit into a gift card for the studio. It’s non-refundable but it never expires and can be used for future tattoos.” You keep the money.They feel validated.Everyone wins. The 72-hour cancellation wave is real — and it’s not going away.But it also doesn’t have to drain your bank account, energy, or confidence. Policies protect you.Scripts guide clients.Systems keep you sane. Your time matters.Your boundaries matter.Your financial stability matters. This is how you protect all three.
