Synthetic Skin

The Synthetic Skin collection provides high-fidelity training surfaces designed to replicate the feel, stretch and response of human skin. Engineered by A Pound of Flesh and ReelSkin, these materials allow tattoo artists to refine technique, experiment with shading, and present portfolio-quality results. A Pound of Flesh delivers anatomically shaped models and flat panels (synthetic leather) made from advanced silicone compounds that mimic real dermal layers, providing realistic resistance to needles. ReelSkin complements the range with flexible, pigment-absorbent sheets ideal for both rotary and coil machines, ensuring smooth ink flow and consistent depth control. These surfaces are reusable for multiple session types — from linework and colour packing to black & grey realism — supporting the technical development of both apprentices and experienced professionals. The synthetic texture reacts to needle penetration, wipe friction and ink absorption in a way that replicates the tactile feedback of skin. Available in multiple shapes and formats, from body-part replicas to standard sheets, they are used for training, tattoo conventions and artistic display. Within the Piranha Supplies ecosystem, Synthetic Skin connects with Tattoo Ink Sets, Tattoo Machines, Tattoo Needles, Workstations and Lighting collections, forming part of a complete professional setup that prioritises precision, hygiene and continuous skill evolution.
