Client Positioning for Facial Tattooing

Time and again I have seen cosmetic tattoo artists try to tattoo without working on a flat surface. This means they must turn the client and position the area to be tattooed "on top," because you are not going to get as smooth or even of a line if you are twisted and working awkwardly down next to you in the case of a lip procedure, for instance.

What this means is each "section" of the lip should be tattooed in a different position for the client. You should have her turn toward you for the "away" side, flat for the middle, and then, most importantly, turn away from you to work on the side closest in. That is the only way you can get proper positioning with the right amount of stretch so that you can work comfortably, and SEE the area you are working on precisely.
