For all the people that want to tattoo but don’t have an apprenticeship, go buy a book of traditional tattoos, trace as many designs as you can, keep tracing, trace your favorites the ones you don’t like, practice your spit shading and water colors, than do some more tracing, did I mention that you need to trace and then trace some more, keep tracing no matter what anybody else says and no matter how good you are at drawing. If you are against tracing and take the advice, you’ll understand why eventually. Whether you make your own designs or not, this is a tracing job.
In other words its i believe yiu dont need the artistic abilities to draw to do tattoos. As its a skill of its own. But drawing can help you understand it.
@@lilbmxman66akax999thhokage that’s actually a great way of looking at it, I would say interest in drawing iS a plus, being it’s rooted in it, but practicing your line work is the most important, there is plenty of reasons for tracing, but one key aspect is line flow, for example the way an eye might go into a nose, in a traditional piece might be a continuous line flow, this line flow you can take as a building block into other pieces, you could use the line memory to step into a place where someone can walk in with a random idea and you could pull from the data base you’ve created in your own mind something that looks like sailor Jerry drew it but is the design a client wants. The video and tips you watched are laying building blocks for photo realistic tattoo work, which is a completely different ball game, but some aspects of traditional line work can even improve upon the design aspects of photo real, plenty of the best European photorealistic guys have actually reverted back to a more traditional line work style and the results are amazing.
Ngl man rhis shits been confusing me for days, my depth controls pretty good you know for a newbie, but the throwaway skins are only a bit over 1.5 mm, and idk man every time i google how thick the epidermis is it says its way thicker then u did but ive tatted myself before and ik u aint gotta go this deep. This video saved my life
Im 33 years old have 0 tattoos never even had a desire for tattoos but I been binging ink master the past month and now I want my entire body tatted 😂😂
So you don’t need to go 3 mm ? Or in what cases do you need to ? I heard a lot of other artist say you need to go a little deeper for certain things but im just trying to learn , please help & respond !!! I Would be very thankful
Really all depends. Some parts of the body skin is way thicker and some people have overall thicker skin than people. Its hard to visualize the dermis so gettin to know how it feels when you are tattooing in the proper layer of the skin is key.
I know I am going deep enough but the ink is not depositing? I’m going slow as hell too. I’m letting it heal now before I go back in so I don’t overwork it.
Ive had an artist or two do some digging on me and I've also had a really good artist who was a finalist on ink masters do some work on me and I could barely feel it. Sat through 5 hours like it was nothing. It's crazy how much difference a mm or two can make. I've also tatted my own hand over a bone and only set my needle somewhere between 1-2mm and I barely felt it. I was actually wondering if it was going to stick or not lol. All I can say is this is very important and there are a lot of people out there who think the deeper they go the more the ink will stick blah blah. All that does is cause unnecessary pain and blowouts.
Honestly I gave up when they were talking about voltage and depth and speed and differnt guns and needles and differnt angles to hold the gun. My brain doesnt math like that.
Thats not how to tattoo . He needs to go deeper hes going into the epidermis you need to blast straight through where hes scratching. What he is showing its going to fade away. Idk wtf he learned his " technique " from . Maybe hes a semi permanent make-up artist. Eyebrows skin over bone is very thin. Maybe this demonstration would work for that application.
Je ne parle pas français mais je vais essayer de vous expliquer on a l'impression d'être griffé par un chat à plusieurs reprises Parfois, vous pouvez sentir vos os vibrer selon l’endroit où vous vous faites tatouer. Je suis très sensible à la douleur mais un tatouage c'est vraiment pas si mal, j'en ai deux
It’s like a vibrating burning/scraping sensation. Basically what sounds like is what it feels like - someone dragging multiple little needles across and into your skin. It’s a hard pain to compare to something you could get normally hurt by. Mixture of multiple cat scratches over sunburnt skin I think is how I usually describe to someone who asks.
Im 12 sessions deep with laser removal. Mf doesnt want to fade. Still got ways to go. Makes me think the artist went really deep. The tattoo cost me 200 amd so far ive paid almost 3k for 12 removal sessions 😒
If you can’t draw already I don’t think you should be tracing a design to tattoo I’ve done 1 tattoo it’s hard asf and I’ve been drawing with a pencil for 16 years
That’s why u only go so deep ur needle should never be long enough to do that I had my cousin do my first tattoo and he went over a vein and it never did anything
Meh fucking hurts like fuck don’t care what anyone says some places are ok but once you’ve done 100 hours like me your just over it and it’s just a fight or flight situation the entire time
There are 7 layers, the Dermis is where the liquid is held, not the epidermis..... dude this is major misinformation. The epithelial layer of the epidermis, where the liquid is not. The Dermis contains the liquid in your skin.
I don’t understand your comment. Where does he say the epidermis stores ink? He specifically says to target the dermis because that’s where the ink is held.
Fucking wayyy too deep 2mm?!? You must also thinks it’s normal for tattoos to just keep getting bigger as they age, the most you’d ever need to go is 1mm it should be between that and .25mm you want to barely scratch past that paper layer and into the dermis
DO NOT recreate what you see this guy doing… he’s barely getting it into the top layer of skin, he needs to go just a little bit deeper.. where it is now, it’ll fade away and be at least 90% gone by the time it heels and peels…. You’ll know when your in the dermis, once you’ve been doing it for so long it almost has a pop when you break into the threw the epidermis and into the dermis…. If your are real artist you’ll know exactly what I mean when you hit it…now don’t get it confused now your only going A LITTLE deeper.. the entire tip of the needle should penetrate
I always go off of that “Grip” feeling when you feel the skin is gripping the needle you’re in the right spot. Kind of boils down to getting familiar with what to feel for vs going off of how deep you are actually going or whatnot.
