Beautiful song and video, Josh seemed like a great person I had a few conversations with him through emails he always replied with kind words and encouragement. I asked him if being 40 was to old to start tattooing he said absolutely NOT his wife started tattooing at 40 and was doing great. Rest in peace Josh you will always be my favorite artist.
Thank you this was confusing me from coil machine dime like 2mm throw then rotary is 4mm and I don’t get if it really moves that much that means the tattoo cart is going alll the way in and out the tip of the tube and maybe bad idk
"throw" was used to refer to coil machines. how far the armature bar would throw the needle down to the coil top. still the same as stroke for rotaries. just older terminology.
You saved me! I had exactly this problem at the beginning. I used a shorter stroke and my colours wouldn‘t pack into the skin. Now I use a 4.2 stroke and it‘s perfect for my blackwork/realism stuff. Thank you for your advice!
Joshua: "shut up and draw" 20 years plus since I met and STARTED getting ink from this genius and I still think JC is the realest mf'r I've EVER met in tattooing. Mad love brother ❤
What most don’t realize is how the difference in how a needle strikes the skin with different stroke lengths can really be compensated for by just adjusting your hand speed and stretch… once you figure out how to utilize those variables the way a machine actually runs becomes secondary… the best part about rotary pen style machines aside from those comfort would be the amount of feedback you get to your hand… I found that the be one of the biggest benefits in my experience…
@@carltontattoo 100% it’s unfortunate this is the stuff that is lacking when mentors take on apprentices these days…I try and explain this to coworkers as often as the opportunity arises… Ps, your work is still as stunning as I ever remember seeing it! Keep spreading the good word man!🙏🏼
Fatty tissue and bouncing with a 5mm stroke?!?!?!?I e only done 3 chest pieces....I recently took in a "bigger" client and he sits absolutely great!but I notice even with the stretch,pressure,and long stroke I'm still getting bounce on lining?any kind of tips or tricks from anyone would be great.i wanna hear from everyone who knows
I probably have like 8 tattoo machines & some say something about strokes I'm just like hu😮 😅 so that's why I'm here. Recently bought another fancy one & cost wayyy more & says something about strokes😮 I'm learning. Trying to understand
Hey man I’ve been a fan of Dmitry for years. He’s definitely my favourite tattooist.. where can I purchase HES dvd. I’m a tattooist and want to get into colour realism. Thanks
Hey man, Thanks for the informative video. How does stroke length translate for lines? Does it mean 2.5mm would be good for a small 1-5 liner? And 4 for maybe bigger groups?
