I just started, and this man has been a huge help! Im currently an apprentice and im “not allowed to tattoo customers yet” which is understandable but this man has helped me with understanding line work aswell as other things!!
good luck with your apprenticeship. I tattooed on a customer on my first day but I believe that is only because i tattooed in prison for 3 years and the guy i am apprenticing under came thru the same recovery program I did when he got out. All in all, it's a huge blessing where I ended up. no doubt about that. just stick with it and you'll get there. And this guy is absolutely knowledgeable and helpful
Bro, almost noone gives this advoce online, most the tutorials on here are for intermediate and up, very few detailed videos for absolute beginners, love you and nathan for what yous are doing ❤ 🔥 🙏
I think Reel Skin is the most comparable to human skin. The only problem with Reel Skin that I've noticed is that once the stencil is dry and set it permanently stains the fake skin and you can see the "ghost" outline of the stencil in many places after tattooing the design.
You can try to let stencil a bit shorter, on Those skins I would let like 1-2h then remove it with vaseline , and you keep the light stencil for work which if you do it right away would erase itself during process of tattooing
Whats reeal skin .. is that much different than this stuff .. pig skin is good .. but i wouldnt use that machine on any one after that and dont poke yourself while u in there
Just wanna say thank U bro so much Hey, you guys are doing a good thing. Helping people instead of just letting them make mistakes, it's a serious business you are doing surgery on some one and you guys arm us with the knowledge. MUCH APPRECIATED boys. 💯🤝🍻🏅🏅
Thank you for all the good advice and tips, really! I'm just starting my path on tattooing, got my first machine and everything else i need and im learning how to use it all thanks to you! Big love from Estonia!
It even works with graphite pencils, just softly dab vasiline or similar stuff on top. I inked a small (10cm) practice design like this because I'm still waiting on my stencil delivery. Pencil comes off afterwards with a bit more vasiline rubbing. Probably not the best solution, but workable.
When you tattoo on fake skin do you still sanitize everything just as you would if you was tattooing after you get finished as you would if your tattooing on a real person?
Just print on inkjet... Roll paper on fake skin. Ours transfers great Use regular printing... Photo high res will not transfer. Even days later, u can roll ink onto fake skin from printout
@@MiareaRoseoffical I have an ecotank printer that’s perfect but to use an inkjet it’s best to find one that’s easy to refill, I have a cheap hp inkjet that I’ve refilled a spare cartridge with stencil ink and that works great, there’s vids on here showing how to saw the top off a cartridge, clean it out and refill with the stencil ink, tbh your better off getting a cheap ecotank £140 and stencil ink £70.
I dont know how to explain it, but your voice sounds like it’s in 1.25 or something during the hand cam. am i crazy or is it sped up? also l the fake skin squares look so sick!!
Use them all. Practice lines with all liners and some round shaders as well. Pay attention to the voltage you'll need to use with the gauge and needle size. You usually need more voltage the more bigger the needle group, but you'll have to decide how much is good for you and how slow/fast you line.
Get the 3mm any thicker will just be expensive for nothing, 3mm is fine and you can use both sides, there’s a lot of bad ones around but the larger ones seem the most consistent.
I got my first kit it’s ok to use the same needles on the fake skin right of course not in people but just to mess around ? Soo I wouldn’t have to get new one or not do that ?
please tell me how to put white ink on fake skin because if I try it always turn gray and I want to put highlights so badly but don‘t know how when it always turns out gray I even tried different types of white ink 😢
Which fake skin is best to use please? Because all are different and most very hard and machine ripping the skin no matter walts . Can you please help me to find good fake skin Thank you ❤
Wait, so Green Gold (glide) can be replaced with Vaseline? Is it relatively the same TYPE of product. I don’t have the Green stuff but I have Vaseline 😂 sorry I’m really new. Thanks for all the videos!
Yes you can you just have to remember that its always going to come out darker in the fake skins and the brand you get has a big deal with being able to as well. I use Reel Skins
What did do for fake skin to practice like neck tattoos or those odd and difficult but poplar places that wrap around that cannot compare to a flat fake skin.
My fake skin (reel skin) won't take stippling. Gotta go over and over which is bad practice cos no skin is gonna take that abuse. Im using a cnc q2 at 4mm stroke and 5v. Any idea?
why you sound southern than australian.. stick to an accent homie.. smh.. Thank you for this video it was the best so far. You are a little chatty, But, its more in depth so that's good. Keep it up.
I'd recommend going for quality fake skins from brands such as ReelSkin, Frankenskins. Using cheap fake skins can be counter productive when trying to learn how to tattoo.
