A******g tattoo artists often face the dilemma of choosing the right fake skin for practice. Emokingpin, a reputable tattoo expert and social media influencer, shares invaluable insights into the best fake skins available in the market in his latest YouTube video, "WHAT FAKE SKINS ARE BEST FOR TATTOOING."

Emokingpin begins by advising against the use of super thin 1 mm thick fake skins, especially for those not engaged in permanent makeup tattooing. According to him, these thin skins are inadequate for practice as they do not allow for the deeper needle p********** required in standard tattooing.

Next, the discussion shifts to a thicker version of the same fake skin. While this option is budget-friendly, Emokingpin highlights a significant drawback: its hardness. This makes it difficult for the ink to be properly absorbed, leading to potential issues for beginners.

The video then reviews Pound of Flesh, a more expensive alternative. Emokingpin acknowledges that this product is an improvement over the previously mentioned skins but still finds it lacking. He criticizes its tough texture, which, in his experience, also struggles with ink absorption.

Finally, Emokingpin introduces Real Skin, which he regards as the best fake skin on the market. Its stretchiness allows artists to practice skin stretching techniques, and its thickness is ideal for learning and mastering needle depth.
