New subscriber here! Love how you explained everything, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Now I have to ask where your accent is from?! It’s amazing!
Hello mate from Texas, what was the voltage please? I imagine about 6-6.5. Also can you show a visual of how much the mag needle is coming out the tube. What type of black ink you use? If there's a stroke too on that machine, what do you have it at?
Yes you could use a mag to create this and would give a different effect. So just depends on the end result you’re looking for. We cover both methods on the full course
Hi! Thank you so much for your classes it helps a lot. Congratulations. I still have a question though. Indeed even if my black seems to be solid black at the end of the tattoo session, after the healing process, the black is not solid anymore like part of the ink “left” the skin! Do you have any idea of the reasons why that happens ? Thanks for helping me figuring that out :)
One way I found when learning to pack in the ink was as he said, I wasn’t flat and straight on the skin and my depth control was not steady especially near edges and tight corners.
Ben never recommended riding the tube. Build up muscle memory. Depth will come as you practice. Make sure you do all the lesson multiple times. Practice Make improvement.
hi mate i am blacking out a arm and have started using a 49 flat mag (saw flat mags can be best from a video), but when actually blacking the arm out the mag is coming up that the ends of the mag are saturating the skin and the middle does not seem to be doing the same causing a pattern and patchy saturation, is there and tips for counteracting this please??
Te thousands of people who found fake skin a usefiul tool to learn on and practice with would beg to differ. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it can be a useful tool.
you’d be surprised by some of the top artists in the world who use practice skins to keep their skills sharp in their downtime, and also to continue to add to their portfolios by demonstrating the type of work they want to do. i won’t name names, but i’ve seen it personally time and again. also, many of these same artists have their apprentices train on practice skins, so they can develop good habits under supervision before they will allow them to work with real skin.
