You are the only person that I’ve come across who mentioned the DISTANCE when stopping and starting a line: this is easily my favorite tattoo channel right now
Thank you for your explanations! It helps a lot! As a self-taught artist, sometimes the “feeling” of the machine is not enough, and some explanations helps to understand which details might have been missed. Thank you!
Thank you, definitely realized a few things I haven’t been doing properly. Been tattooing for 8 years on and off in shops, so every time I’m “off” then I get back into a shop I almost need to relearn what I was taught during my apprenticeship.. I think being forced to make my own tattoo needles could have an affect on it aswell, having those custom made needles was really helpful. But after switching to a pen style machine I’m not sure how I could even make my own custom needles for cartridges! Your tips will help though, so thank you!
Amazing tips and information. I also want to add that although it may be obvious, it’s important to have your needles facing the same way the whole time especially when using a round liner. I noticed some people use the edge of the needles without realizing which makes line weight inconsistent. Thank you!
I sped it up just a little bit so I could fit the portion of the video I wanted to show you guys without it getting too much like a time lapse haha Thanks for watching !
My mentor taught me pulling lines and pushing lines create different thickness. So you should try and be consistent by either pulling or pushing all lines, not mix matching.
Interesting... I’d like to know the logic behind that. I’ve never seen a difference fresh or healed. Any time I want to change thickness I just switch needle grouping.
today i practiced on fake skin for the first time, and my lines got really wobbly. i think its because of my depth changing while im lining. gonna work on it thanks!
Hey Bro, honestly, I think you're the only one on YT who knows what he's talking about AND is able to explain it properly. I'll try everything 😊 thank you very much
As always, great video! I stole the technique of holding the tattoo machine from you :D Now the lines look much better and I hold the machine much more confident in my hand! All thanks to you :)
I honestly bought my own machine and I started it immediately no videos or nothing, this video helped me and ima continue to watch more . You also explained why some of my tattoos have “blowouts” thank you
I'm struggling so much finding the right rest for my hand (holding the machine). I constantly find my hand tensing up and then making the line shaky. Any tips?
Great video ! , The wand liner packs a punch, just wondering if you have sped up the video in some of the linework. Just because at 7.5 voltage some might not realize your true hand speed ,
Thank you for your help! I am a 14 year old beginning tattooing and so far it’s been so much fun to learn about and practice it’s such a fun way of art.
Beautiful work and great explanation! I apologize if this has been asked before, but do you have a video on how to create and print a stencil such as this one, bold and perfectly straight outlines, thank you.
I got a somewhat, good question i think. Sometimes when i tattoo, and i dip the needle in ink, and tattoo sometimes i just can't get the ink to go down to the skin regardless of angle, like i have REALLY bad ink flow sometimes, and seems random, i like to have longer needle hang but only fix i can do is to make it real short the hang, it annoys me alot! i use bishop wand packer/shader+cheyennes, same thing, and same thing with all kind of cart's brands. It's super super wiard, have you tried anything similar? i have tried dipping JUST the tip of needle, running, not running, and having the tube all the way down, nothing works "sometimes", sometimes it does.
Hey how are ya I had a question I just started working at a shop and I have watched a ton of your videos,so thanks for your help and time. Did that 4.2 line nice and what volts did you use. I have a wand shader and I line with a coil but thinking about seeing if I could get a wand packer and get good one pass lines with it.
Can you please do a video on making stencils. What stencil machine works well and then placing them on different parts of body with tips. I suck at placing stencils and my stencil machine blows. I recently bought the printer that uses stencil ink.
A lot of tattoo artist tell me that you need to stretch the skin and then you need to go up and down when you tattoo like go from one area to the other
I really appreciate this video good sir! I do have one question for you: Do you find you gain some stability on line work like this with a thicker grip wrap? Does it help with wrist fatigue at all? Thank you so much for all your helpful and informative vids!!
