whats up people? my names brian layton im 24 yrs old married for 3 and we have a 5 yr old son.
ive been tattooing for almost a year, i use all disposable and never reuse anything, i have small shop set up in my house were i tattoo my freinds and family, im currently working on a portfolio to try and get an apprenticeship.

i originally got started by my buddy i worked with who spent most of his life in prison and got a lot of jailhouse ink, and he wanted to finish a jailbird he had started on the inside, and i offered to do it for him, so i bought my first machine and power supply and did some work on him. i did a total of 5 pieces on him and was hooked by the first line on number 1.

im currently working on a series of crosses on my brothers back, another buddys leg and getting ready to start on my other brothers tribal, and my sisters bugging me for hers. ive done a total of 25 tattoos, mostly black just a few pieces of color.

just got a new brand of ink ive never used and it seems to be a little thick, what is the best way to thin it out a little, should i use distilled water or witch hazel, or is there something better

everyone let me know i look forward to all advise and criticism
