I found the things presented here were wonderfully informative. With that said the bloody typos made some things hard to understand and required many minutes of deciphering what was going on. Also, ( this could just have been the copy I downloaded) some of the images that were supposedly in this book were not present.
Nice explanation of bloodlines , easy to read quick overview. I have been taught never put ever put fresh tattoos underneath water that part doesn’t sound like a good idea; but I do understand the author’s supposed reason behind it. I think that would just add an extra component of care that could mess up healing and water log it.
Helpful for beginners but missing quite a bit of info, like angle of needle, power supply setting, info on rotary machines etc, but worth three twenty minute max) read.
Thought there would be more pictures and information. It seemed like there should have been more depth to things like needle settings in different parts of the body.
