Hello, everyone... I have been a tattoo artist for years, but recently changed careers (somewhat). I now work for a high end furniture company, and I have the opportunity to help my employer branch out a little. We would like to tattoo leather. Here lies my problem... I picked up some leather scraps and attempted to tattoo them, but there is residue tattoo ink outside my lines and unlike skin, I am not able to wipe it off without smearing tattoo ink all over the leather. I have seen some gorgeous tattooed leather furniture, but nobody is talking about how that is done. Am I using the wrong leather? Am I using the wrong ink? Is there a certain way that I should go about cleaning the leather as I tattoo? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am new to this, and would love for it to work!
Thank you!
