1.Why do you get zebra stripes when you tattoo eyebrows?
1.You create zebra patches due to incorrect transitions. You often move too far forward instead of advancing just 20% while covering 80% of the previous layer. You lack consistent steps from left to right, which should include stepping forward 20% and then back. This jumping around happens because you haven’t practiced enough.
2.The second reason for the patchy, zebra-like appearance of your eyebrows is that your machine speed is set too high. When the machine runs at a high speed, it becomes nearly impossible to achieve a smooth transition. Instead, you end up creating stripes, which results in a patchy look, resembling a lance..
Moving too slowly can cause a patchy, zebra-like appearance in your powder brow. When your needle wobbles back and forth inside the skin instead of moving smoothly, both the start and end of your shading can turn out too dark, resulting in an uneven look. Slow movements also create dots that are too close together, which looks bad.
4.A common mistake that causes patchy zebra stripes in latex tattoos, apart from poor transition methods, is the way the artist holds and swings the machine. Holding it too vertically and digging too deep can result in dark shading at the start, end, or both, preventing smooth transitions.
