A little on the pricier side BUT it is so worth it. This fake skin is the absolute closest you will get to the real thing. Speaking from experience it helps so much to start out tattooing on high quality skins so you don’t learn bad habits!

Super sturdy and reliable tattooing tray. Used during tattooing to hold your ink, paper towels, green soap, etc so super important to get a good quality tray!
