I have been following you for a while now and I decided to go dynamic triple black and black as well. Very satisfied for dark skins, the contrast is real. You are right. Thank you. I am learning from you.
I stumbled on your page while trying to find more knowledgeable techniques and styles. Its refreshing to see a high quality tattoo artist that will share even the simplest of things that can drastically emprove anothers skills and techniques. Usally these days the simple act of asking an artist a legitimate question is usually met with outlashing of their own inflated egos. Its really nice to see a artist with true skill remaining humble and keeping it real. I subscribed thanks for the advice throughout your videos they inspired me to loosen up a bit and try new techniques. Yeah i love Dynamic as well, it was the first black i ever used, whipes clean easily and produces some really nice packing and shading work as well.
Thanks for all the info you give out bro it really helps a lot I've learned so much from you, I was wondering if maybe you could do a video on the stroke of the tattoo pens. I would appreciate it so much.
Hey brother I have a inkjet printer and I'm having a huge issue getting the stencils onto the fake skin I can't get it on there I have tried everything
Try 1 drop of witch hazel in the fusion black. It doesn’t really seem to dilute the black at all and it is immensely easier to work with. (I know you’re a professional but every bit of info helps)
Zhane Ali most ink already has some witch hazel anyways. Most notably Silverback. It’s witch hazel or some for of alcohol I don’t have the bottle next to me, but it basically sums up as, it already has it, not gonna make much difference pain wise. Too much will irritate the skin, at least in my experience. Hope that helps.
I'm curious about the difference between the kwadron long taper vs medium taper and their quality difference. Could you do a video on the long vs short, or medium tapers. I've been running standard tapers vs long tapers and I do fine line work more on micro realism and dot work. I currently use cheyanne and quelle liners but have contemplated switching my liners to kwadron because of the inconsistent lines.
This video has helped me tremendously. I was the typical person that was like well how much of a difference could it really make??? I ordered some eztat liners and MAN can I tell a difference once I just got the kwadron ones. I cannot wait to try the mags you recommend over the eztat ones. Theyre like...sharper and less wiggly. I also got a critical power supply and that thing is way better than my cheap wireless one. Equipment is a direct representation to result in tattoos.
On those shader needles, Give or no give, should probably be up to what the tattooist prefers right? Not anything to do with quality? I mean, as far as them being good or not shouldn't the way they put the ink into the skin be the number 1 indication when considering what needles you should invest in?
Hi Sir . I like that vibration sound I heared it again again. its makes me to smile. another I heared u making machine noice so nice 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Tnq so much fr the video Sir
Regarding printers, a black and white a4 laser is super cheap (£100 - £150) and you will have saved the difference between that and one of those shitty ink printers in about two ink cartridge changes
FINALLY!! Hawk Liner needeles suck donbad you cant eben use them at all....... DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON HAWKLINER.. SOMEBOFY MAKE A DAMN DIAMOMD TIP AND PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!!;!
Hawk liners SUCK !! They wobble all over you can not line.. its bullshit i bought them cause i didnt wanna use crap my first time with carts and NOPE i get brand name yet its CRAP
Stencil stuff sucks in all honesty. I comes off super easy. I recommend every artist learn to make their own using speed stick deodorant and aloe vera gel. WAYYYY STRONGER. The last batch I made is so strong that it actually does not come off no matter how much you wipe it and sometimes its still visible after the completed tattoo.
Not to be a dick but you’re using detrimental in the wrong context.. detrimental = to be harmful to or damaging. Otherwise a dope video and thanks for your insight! 👌🏽
Thanks for the info dude. It’s great to get information and reasons explaining the choices. Enjoying watching your videos keep them coming Oliver. Btw you’re banned from singing while you’re tattooing. I had postman fecking pat tune in my head all day after that live video feed In the words of the messiah Vyvyan from the Young Ones.......’you barsted’
You want super high quality?need to try the new wjx liners....like lining with a ink pen...they are all super consistent to...absolutely love the new ones
Ya hard to get ahold of top brand stuff in Canada anyhow without having a lisence but I've found for people without a lisence world wide tattoo is pretty good stuff the radical cartriges are pretty good and not much movement I'd stay away from the beyond stuff I bought a bunch of there liners when they were on sale and they definitely have alot of play in them the mags aren't bad...
Good video as always. Thank you. Will you do an ink review on World's Famous Legendary Black? It says it has the highest pigment of black so I'm really intrigued by it.
I’m just starting out as a self taught tattoo artist and your videos help me out so much thank u for making them but I was wondering if you could give me some cartridge sizes to start out with for kwadron liners and Cheyenne curved mags
start with some 9 liners! they not too thick and not too thin. Or go bigger. thicker lines are easier than making thin lines untill u get use to the thicker ones then u go thiner.
Hi there does the printer prints directly on stencil transfer sheet or it is for hand copy to stencil sheet after printing. Could not find this information anywhere.
I use big wasp too but I order more expensive carts too I feel like for 22 bucks for 50 needles you can’t beat especially just to always have spare needles
Just curious, what do you like to use to hand draw your stencils with? I have this one thin inkless ball point pen a friend who's no longer with us gave me over 20 years ago. Bit of a tattoo talisman at this point 🙏🏼💗. That printer is brilliant too, excellent, cartridge info was great too. Thank you this is such a helpful video. PS please explain any nuances/dif bet Stencil Stuff (which is great) & the Nikko brand I've never tried. Much appreciated! (I highly recommend Victory Ink, especially for their variety of black inks you might enjoy.)
Just started tattooing the last couple of months. Got really discouraged at the lack of helpful videos from other artists online until I found your videos. Thank you! I'm literally ordering almost all of these items now!
I dont know if they still make it but they used to make a stencil paper that was made for hand stencils. You cant run it through a thero fax stencil machine so never try but that shit made stencils that went on dark and never wiped off.
Beware the kwadron does not have a membrame! I tested almost all brands, and I am not a fan of Cheyenne cartridges. I now use the tatsoul envy 2 and are overall great cartridges. I am still testing new brands, cheap ones and more expansive ones. And there is a cartrdisge which I am now testing that are extreme high quality. They are a private brand from LEV tattoo supplies in the Netherlands they call it the blue style. They also have the green style and these are also good cartridges. But the Blue style gave me the wauw effect. Thanks for the great video’s they helped me a lot kind Regards, BaldR
Hi,in your patreon you talk about technique like dot work or shading,line ecc? And what kind of material like needles is better to use? If yes I will subscribe there:)
Really good to know about Cheyenne liners vs sharers. just got started with my Cheyenne machine on fake skin just got some Cheyenne liner and had wobbly lines where I know I typically have a steady hand. Of course need to get a proper feel but so good to know that wobble might not be my hand but the Cheyenne liner needle! I'll be ordering the other kind and Cheyenne shader to test/ experiment on fake skin got people lined up wanting to offer their skin for me to work on right away but need the control I know I have in my hand transferred proper. This helps a lot!
wow ive learned something today. i pronounce cheyenne -"shy -anne" (silent e). hmm never heard it said she-enn. lol us yanks are weird. but thx for needle quality been looking for a vid like this. cool thx😀
I have a question I use davinchi needles as well but for the lining Needles do you think they are good quality to you use ? over kwandron lining needles ? Or you rather stick with kwandron
Yes, its true. The membrane on kwadrons are cutted on sides. There are four big holes that allow fluids go inside your machine. I used to really liked those cartridges but since i using pens machines its a big no no.
The tatsoul envy gen 2 is also a great cartridge, shaders as well as liners. The Kwadrons are great , but lot of suppliers still sell their old stock and those haven’t a full membrame. So be carefull with buying Kwadron. The Davinci V2 are a lot better now Oliver👍🏻 thanks again for the great video.
I have a hurricane power supply. I use the cheyenne hawk thunder and spirit. Do u recommend me to by a cheyenne oder an eikon power supply? Or is it fine with the hurricane?
