Taken from what Crazy Philadelphia Eddie told me. It is called flash as the designs where put up on a string. Tattooing was illegal and many shops were in back of a barber shop. When news.of the police coming , the string of designs were taken down in a flash. This knowledge was given to me at a convention by Eddie himself. He is a legend in the tattoo community
I would love to see an update on your process. Super Informative video thank you so much. You’re one of the only people that kinda explained a lot of the differences in the materials.
Spit shading while smelling greensoap and punk rock blasting sound of coils....hate this rotary era no noise shops...i got some paños from folsom when i did my little term i tattooed alot but i was also collecting art..
Yessir that right there is what sparked the magic of tattooing for me. That’s badass. Some really amazing art and tattoos in there. I used to drive by that prison every day in the way to my lady’s apartment years ago.
My dudes. The one thing i do like about the rotary thing though i will say after racing motorcross and blowing out both wrists multiple times+ getting older is the arthritis etc in my hands. It helps immensely. Almost had to put it down because my hands would go numb while tattooing and they started coming out with rotary. Finally made the switch 2 years ago myself around the time bishop put the 1st wand out. Miss the good ole days though. A younger artist i was talking to at a convention and i mentioned micky s while talking about machines and he said "who? "😂😂😂😂 Apprentice's now a days don't know the half of it😂😂
@@McV1llaiN I use rotaries for portraits, the consistency of the hit is important. I’ve tried the cartridges but I just prefer the feeling of a bar needle. At least you got the motocross cool guy excuse haha, some of my co workers are perfectly fine but say that coil machines are too heavy, to which I reply hit the gym homie! Haha
Whens that follow up video coming out? I'm trying to figure out how you make such clean lines on that cold press w all the texture. I've used arches cold press for years but recently decided to try some hot press since it doesnt have as much texture but I feel like theres a trade off because while you can make smoother lines on the hot press, it's not as nice to do your fades once you start actually painting it.
I’m planning on making a new video soon, but making clean lines is way easier forsure on hot press paper. On the cold press there’s a couple tricks, but yeah that’s the trade off, cold press makes a better fade. It helps to have your technique down since it’s less forgiving
How do you shade with a ballpoint pen ? Incredible art really enjoyed and being in tattoo studios I did wonder how the flash art was done thanks for the content 😊
Great work. Keep it up. Looking forward to the Panos in the future. Just a heads up. Your video came up in me feed on its own. Yet when I looked for your video on another device it took a lot of digging. That may be what has hindered you from getting more views. Best of luck. I followed and liked the video.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m sure your comment may help getting the video higher up there! It did well at first but slowed down. The goal of this video was to share knowledge for people who are seeking it, not to get as many views as possible. However more exposure could help more people with their painting 👍
I grew up in a tattoo parlor cleaning my uncles guns / shop but yet I have no tattoos though I love tattoos and respect the culture so much. and love drawing with ink and I just wanted to say how much I loved this video. and I am inspired to draw some flashes for the sake of preserving the medium / challenge. Thank you keep it up!
God I have been through so many different papers and it pills and is junk.. I’ve almost cried so many times ! Also found when there’s too much texture my line work SUCKS 😢 I’m on dr ph inks .. struggling but persistent. Recovering from spine surgery so making the most of the down time. thank you 🙏 for the info! saw the comment below about the iPad 20 ye old girls 😂 I use an ipad, paint, pencils and paper .. enjoy it all.
can you tell me more about what you think the differences are with a nib vs microns? I enjoy using nibs but since I use the same black ink for outlines and shading, it's just a lot faster to stick to microns as they can be worked on immediately...
All comes down to personal preference. I like how nibs look on the paper more than the micron for traditional American style flash, but I’ll use microns for black and grey or more illustrative style work.
@@100tattoo I understand most people say they prefer nibs because they last if they use textured paper. Fine grain arches can wear down microns over time, I guess. I think I've been using the wrong ink as well, they can smear even hours after it's applied. Will check what's available for me in EU. Thanks for the video!
@@methanal669 yes that is another down side to microns, the water color paper shreds the tip and the line weight can change during the painting and then pen is only good for a couple of paintings.
If you look at my other videos you’ll see I’m starting to do instructional painting videos. There’s only so much information I can put into one video. Thanks for the comment.
Leaving a comment to feed the algorithm. Sick knowledge that’ll stand the test of time but come oooon bro stop getting lazy with it and take the paño vid
Man thats sick 🔥i love so much that old school tattoo spirit,all that ipad drawing era and 20yo girls with pen dildos thats ruining true tattoo culture. And badass guys like u keep it going 👍👍 I buy my first tatt machine after watching your video about brass Micky Sharpz hybrid and im very grateful to you.keep making videos man! Sorry about my English all best from Bulgaria
