Agreed. Wiping away stencil was a big problem when I first started. I find ointment one of best ways if I have to wipe. Ointment also keeps the ink from mudding up the skin when u wipe away.
Using white has been a real hit and miss for me. is there any kind of brand that I can use to get a real good white? or any technique for applying white without having this really get contacted by the blood and "watered down" into pink or other hues that aren't a solid white? Thanks
Some tips I have to improve line work is 1. Pull lines from top to bottom, left to right. Never start a line if your tattoo machine gets in the way of you seeing your start point to your end point 2. never use a smaller liner to substitute if you dont have a larger one. You typically always wanna make one line at a consistent spee. doing a circular motion to Bolden a line will almost never work
absolutely amazing work, and amazing at explaining everything. a lot of other content on RU-vid is great information but I'm a visual learner and while they are great at teaching- their tattoos always turn out like it's 1990. Your work speaks for itself. And I'm extremely thankful for you.
Man, this video has it all! I appreciate how clear you explained things and showing how you use the different techniques. Love your work and how you shade your portraits bro!!
Hey man, thanks for the tips! Your page is probably the most helpful for new incomers on tattooing. Can we get more videos of you doing more crisp lines please?
Awesome work mate love your style ove work and instruction keeping it real and no unnecessary woffle direct and bull dotting the points,youve obversly Put you time in respect man good to see an African American killing it l find it refreshing,cheers
This has to be the most informative and correct video I've seen so far about tattooing on the internet for people who want to learn the right way. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us
The way you share your knowledge and advice while so many other people out there keep it to themselves with such a greed... Respect brother. Thank you very much for your teachings.
Great video collection! New tatto artist, and there is so much info in this I gotta watch it again. I can see how it's all valid by the application and your execution of the tattoos is impeccable! Thanks for the vid!
Your instructional videos are greatly appreciated. I've been tattooing for over 20yrs without any guidance. When I started I wasnt fortunate enough to receive guidance from experienced artists. Your videos teach me a lot I wasnt able to figure out on my own...Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, im newly released from prison and the machines there are junk, so i gave it another go now that I'm free and you my friend I owe the credit to you that I now know to lower the voltage and my tattooing is coming out better
man this is the best compilation i watched so far. this kind of tricks you can only hear from a close friend whos also your menthor. i sub man! awesome vid.
What should beginners do when they are nervous tattooing real compared to fake skin that can’t talk?????? Please help me however I have already put my first one on my self…..
Omg thank you for giving the most useful tips . I’ve been going through so many videos and all of them gave the same commmob sense b.s . I almost gave up on learning through videos. Thank you
Hi Gm, wondering what program you are using . Or Best one for a fone. Since idont have a tablet yet, for that type of purpose . # croping and pasting to put tats together that way. Thank you
This is a very clear informative straight to the point video, I’ve been struggling with using different techniques and shading this helped a lot. I appreciate your hard work , you definitely make a great teacher and your work is 🔥
I been getting into tattoos and I’m tryna be a tat artist, what should be the first step I should do? I’m 19 and got no experience in tattooing I only draw and I’m decent at it
@@ryancole1838 Could be a good spot for 1.5 mm but it depends on their skin as some people are thicker. Depth is tricky since their are so many variables, experience will be your best friend, my personal rule was that I would rather go lighter and have to do the tattoo over again rather than too deep and permanently scar my client.
I recommend getting the shader rather than packer. Packer is a strong 4.2 millimeter stroke, so harder to get multiple layers of soft shading unless you go to a very low voltage.
This was the best most informative video ever !! I love the compilation of the different techniques and different. definitely earned my sub. Can’t wait to wash the rest of your videos. PS, that skeleton with the flowers was sick. 😮
No problem! I swing between both honestly. I enjoy the freedom of the battery but with a power supply I like that I don’t have to worry about running out of power
Beautiful work. These are great tips. You can always go darker so starting lighter was one of the most important things I learned back when I started. Also... thank you for your voltage info.
You're awesome man. The way you explain every detail and help us get started, something that most people out there don't want to do, we appreciate you. 🙏
