Training on synthetic skin is very different from training on generic plastic. Generic plastic teaches you the wrong habits, and the needle does not behave the same way as it does on real skin. This means your hand may learn movements that will later compromise your work in real situations.
Professional silicone synthetic skin is much closer to the real thing: it replicates the density and resistance of the dermis, giving your hand the same type of response as human skin.
How Synthetic Skin Helps You Calibrate Your Machine
Synthetic skin can help you in many different situations, but have you considered all of them?
What many tattoo artists do not know is that when you have a new machine, you can calibrate it on synthetic skin without having to immediately test it on a client’s skin.
Machine stroke, power supply voltage, needle depth and pigment saturation can all be adjusted safely.
The surface reacts to the movement of the grip in a similar way to real dermis, allowing you to fine-tune everything and arrive at the client’s session with your machine already perfectly prepared.
Does Synthetic Skin Tear After Multiple Needle Passes?
The answer is simple: no.
Unlike generic plastics, technical-grade silicone from APOF and ReelSkin has high mechanical resistance, allowing it to withstand multiple needle passes without tearing while maintaining clean lines without blurring the surface.
Synthetic skin is reusable and easy to clean, allowing you to practice as many times as needed on the same surface.
