My pleasure. I’m learning right along with you.

Thanks bro!

Definitely will. Time depending, I may film another session this weekend. Sorta a catch up video on how my work is looking, how I’m progressing, and filling the gaps I left. Then moving on to a little bit more new work and talking a few new things. I’m actually working my way toward the skill and understanding I feel is needed to work on my back. I’m going to work my way into it though. I’ll get there. It will involve some interesting experimenting with the right tools.

Hell yeah!

Thanks dude! Will do.

Thank you!

Thanks dude!

There are a variety of liquids that can work as a carrier, but it’s important that what you choose is sanitary and won’t cause any adverse reactions for you. If using alcohols, I recommend isopropyl or vodka as that’s what I have worked with. I can’t speak on other options from personal experience.

As in the city of Ward?

@@EccentricArtisanmore like a small town

As long as it is clean, sterile water it will work perfectly,

Also, what are the measurements for the charcoal and liquid?

@@vilis6262 As long as you have no allergies to the wood, you should be just fine using willow. With my mix I aim for a thick liquid. Works best if it isn’t too thick and isn’t overly runny. Sorta a slurry. And I just add more of each component and mix to that consistency as needed.

Thank you! I'm going to try a pin print before doing a whole tattoo to make sure I'm not allergic. I appreciate you still responding to comments on a video this old@@EccentricArtisan

@@vilis6262 I love my hobbies, so it’s always fun getting new comments/discussion on even older videos. And it’s good to know that people still get something out of them. Glad you are giving it a go!

The charcoal came from an old apple tree.

I burned the wood to make charcoal then I mixed it with alcohol. I’m not sure if that answers your question. If not I apologize.

No apple tree 😕 Anything else is possible Im malayali 🤭

@@handpoketattoo368 anything that is not toxic or won’t cause an allergic reaction. I would say most fruit trees are safe. Coconut or mango would probably work if you have those.

tq😊

Not sure what you are getting at? 🤔

I appreciate the input. I think once I start working with some other needles in the near future, faster will feel easier to achieve. I’m planning on bone and antler next. I don’t know how much experience you have working with thorn needles or if you tattoo or not, but one issue is their relative sharpness compared to something like a steel needle. They are much larger and significantly blunter, making it harder to break the skin. Sometimes when it looks prolonged it’s due to the skin stretching and the video not capturing that well. I also want to get some longer thorn needles and cactus spines that are easier to handle. Poking with tiny needles is awkward as hell. All that to say, I am one hundred percent organically learning as I go. That and the fact that I’m not using anything modern may seem weird to most, but it’s just what I wanna do. Thanks for the advice though. It’s always appreciated!

Yeah you do not need to be going that deep. If you go so deep it bleeds the ink isn’t going to stay well you want the ink to get between the layers of skin right before it’s so deep that it bleeds

I actually haven’t had any issue with the ink staying put. I can understand how the video may not translate well to show it, but I wasn’t going very deep. I’m looking at the same tattoo currently and it’s exactly the same as when it first healed. Looks great.
