This comment makes me so happy to see! I'm starting.... Finally... And I feel like a loser that I can't afford to learn any other way... I've watched a few videos so far while I wait for my "skin" and I'm loving how he's explaining everything! All the things that kept me from trying on my own he's talking about! Epic!

These vids are superb..Defo number 1 teacher on UA-cam.thanks Ben👌💯%
👍
I had laid down 8k for a local tattoo school, although retracted because it wasn't lucrative for me at that time. I've been an artist my whole life and have been begged to start tattooing. I am blessed to have found your lessons to keep my life long practice alive. Thank you.
Great video mate
👍
Best step by step i ever found here. Rafa from Brazil.
Great drill! Watch this entire course guys!
👍
You rock! Thank you so much for putting the work into these!
👍
The reminders of keeping to basics over and over is needed- thank you. Also this drills seem redundant at first- but i see why they are neccesary
I’ve gone back to the basics recently as I’m noticing when I critique my own designs I’ve noticed the line work needs serious work, noticing an improvement already just doing the drills again. I’m going to start doing a few of the drills immediately before I do a design in the future just to keep working on that muscle memory
👍
Brilliant teacher. Thanks for putting in all the years of training and passing it to us.
couldn't agree with you more
👍
Ben is the man! Thanks a lot for the videos. I made great progress so far and can't wait to advance further with the videos. One tip that helped me a lot is to "wait for the dot, tiny bit deeper and away you go".
👍
Doneee Masterrr!!!

Thanks so much for sharing your passion and skills. I've learned so much from watching you. My practice tatts look great!!
👍
Wow! you're incredible at teaching.. Thank you so much for making these! This is helping me so much. I'm on to lesson 4 in 2 day's.
I don't yet have a tattoo machine or anything to practice on, but I've been drawing along with you with a mechanical pencil. Not the same thing, but it's helping me understand the lessons better. I'll rewatch all these video's once I get a real machine and skin.
I really appreciate this lesson as you show how to hold the machine more upright, instead of at an angle. I think I like holding the machine at an angle better. I feel like I have more control.

Im back to practising again after some time off because my coil machine was just not working for me ...so invested in a new rotary and I feel so free! ha! Also thanks for that wee pep talk at the beginning...i was obsessing slightly with my straight lines but started to feel more comfort and improvement in this lesson! So excited to continue! Thanks so much again Ben!
👍

Thanks for another amazing video!! I’m looking at my sheets of practice lines and I look at the tattoos you give people, and I’m slightly concerned that no amount of practice can get me from one point to the other, but I’m in. I’m committed. I’m going to put in the work. Thanks again for sharing your craft! ❤️❤️❤️
Miachel, try to give every lesson 100%. And you will be amazed at what you can achieve. You will be smashing designs in no time.
Go for it!
You've got the right attitude. If you put in the work then you will be doing great designs in no time!
You should open a tattoo academy haha. Great content! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I am currently working on a day by day 26 week course that will be available soon. Teaching everything from absolute basics right up to tattooing portraits and everything inbetween. Thank you for you comment
@@BenFisherOfficial i can't wait for the course! Thank You so Much Ben!
@@BenFisherOfficial I would definitely attend!! Are you making student lodging available?
@@kemeticcouturellc1181 it would be an online course

When following the curve do you keep your arm tucked in or do you move it out a bit ? Great lessons thank you mate
good
These videos are great. The content is bang on point. Do you have any recommendations for a machine that wouldnt break the bank. Cheers
Yes I have a video in pipe line with a good few options for different budgets that are great to learn with but also good enough for studio use.
@@BenFisherOfficial cheers mate.
I need to train my left hand to hold the machine, I think tattooing using both hands would help every angle possible, but be much harder to learn. ( I can write with both hands and I use my left hand for a lot of things but am right hand dominant) doing right angle curves with my right hand feels almost impossible. in your videos you being left handed, I try to practice the same angles but my wrist doesn't turn like it would if I were left handed...( know what I mean?) what advice do you have...practice with both or what cha think?? thanks Tattoo Santa!!!
@@c.w.1956 wow that is so cool🤩 great idea but a lot of practice before mastering tattooing with both hands
Great instruction. Thanks man. How can I support the channel?

Is it beneficial/neccessary to start from the bottom of the line moving upward, or can we start from the top of the line moving downward as well?
You want to push the machine. This keeps the needle stabilized in the bottom of the tube/cartridge. That is the most important part. You will also preserve your stencil better if you aren't rubbing it with your tattooing hand.
👍
👍👍👍
👍
With the angle of the needle I heard 90degree is overall better..should I use the slight tilt or can I always work on a 90degree...
I'm having trouble deciding what type of kit to buy do you have any suggestions I'm a complete newbie but been watching your lessons and love them can't wait to put these methods to practice

Is it ok to use the squiggly line technique (keeping the needle almost 90 degrees) at all times? Just feels more comfortable and natural to me
👍👍👍👍
👍
Thank u master
It really depends on you and thats something u have to figure out when you get the machine. Some machines come with a suggestion of voltage, for example my machine (EZ avant) has a suggestion of 6 to 7.5 when lining and 5 to 6.5 when shading. Your hand speed is something to take in consideration when you choose a voltage. I myself use 7.2v when lining. I am still in the beginning of my journey but hopefully this help. If u have anymore questions , feel free to ask. :)
@@StrangersWithMemor1es thAnk you you’re so nice :) I would love to learn from you ., so I hope we can connect on Facebook or instagram
👍
@@babybuddah1858 i know this is a lil old but that is a question asked alot. That, n what the artist they are watching is running his machine at. Well i always say it depends on how fast u run lines. Depends on if u r lining or shading/packing. And it depends on the machine..higher voltage only effects the speed of the needle in rotarys.if u r running coils i typically run mine between 5- 7v .
@@chefkenburnem211 thank you so much 🙏
You usually start your lines at the bottom and then go to the top, whereas my 'intuition' makes me start at the top and draw it downwards. Are both options possible or is there an advantage to the way you do it?
When you pulling down a line your needle will come off the bottom of the tube. If you push the line the needle doesn't move as much. Hope this helps.
@@aimsink thanks Michael! Never thought of that :)
@@jordanv4682 no problem. Thats what the Fisher Friends are for. Hope it made sense.
👍
One question I have that feels really crucial since I’m brand new is if it is okay to ride the barrel…make the needle depth short and put it all the way in to the point where the plastic of the needle is touching the skin. If I do that, my lines are so much straighter and don’t have any wobbles. Is that not a good thing to do?
What do u set ur machine to? Going that speed.
This might be a silly question but why not keep it 90 degree at all times, regardless or straight or curved sharply?
Do you just use a non fragranced baby wipe to remove ink etc ?
What do you think about bridging the tip of your cartridge with your middle finger on the mat? It seems to add stability for me.
Tyler. Its really what feels comfortable to you. I use my ring finger instead of my middle finger. So its what gets you the best outcome. Hope this helps
Same, I've tried multiple held positions myself. It's about your comfort and control.
👍
For practicing on fake skin. Can you use the needle again or do you need to get rid of the needle everytime and get a new needle?
Hello again! I am watching all the videos in order and making lots of notes, both on paper and in mind. I have a question though. Will you be explaining what types of machines are suitable for the beginner?
Sskyle he has a couple videos on machine. If you are serious about tattoo. Plan on buy right the first time. Couple hundred on a machine and couple hundred on power supply. Ben uses the sol nova by cheyenne. Hope this helps. Jungletattoosupplies.co.uk is a good place to start.
👍
@@aimsink Thank you! And Ben too!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@aimsink Just checked the link to the supplier, it seems I can't sign up because I'm in Canada. I'm going to have to find a good supplier in my neck of the woods! Cheers
@@sskyle227 some of the rotary pins that you get from Amazon are fantastic. I have a cordless Solong. It's great 126$ on Amazon
would i do the curves opposite way since i’m right handed
What's the average voltage for a beginner to do lining?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍
It is harder than it looks to make a half circle
Rune, when your trying half circle. Try to break the wrist slightly while moving along the curve. But still moving the arm to make the line. If that makes sense. Hope it helps.
👍
which needles are these?? i mean brand
What type of carbon paper are you using? I have a black carbon paper that I use to transfer pictures to wood. It don’t work putting it on skin.
I use spirit carbon paper
Is there any way you can send me your videos all in order cuz I can't get them all in order for some reason
What solution do yo use on human skin
How can i avoid ink smudging all over when wiping extra ink?
I'm very worried I'll never be able to get it. I don't even have access to the machines yet but the lessons are very interesting.
I really want to be good at tattooing.

Excuse me. Do you put something greasy on ur hands before tattooin? to make the hand move more smooth.. if so what do u use? i dont think ive seen u use anything on these lesson videos. im learning alot thanks for everything
I think he is able to slide is hand so easily because he stabilizes his tattoing hand on his stretching hand. I'm pretty sure he mentions it in one of the videos.
I create the lubricant made from two parts raw shea butter and one part organic raw coconut oil. It removes the ink off the mats amazing and it's good for lubrication in general.
I use vasoline to get ink off pads and lubricate but that Shea/Coco mix sounds good. For actual tattooing skin I just use A&D ointment. Just a beginner here though. 😊
👍
@Ben Fisher
I want to get into tattooing. But I cannot draw and trying to learn drawing. Should I also learn to tattoo aswell so I learn 2 things at once which will be drawing and tattooing. Will this save me time in the long run?
You should give this message directly through private message to Ben on the facebook inkrush page. He is really great at answering back personally to everyone. If by chance he doesn't message back in a day or 2 max send another message. He doesn't ignore anyone but some messages get missed due to the high volume of people messaging him.
Please send questions to my FB page via messenger - its easier for me to answer all questions on one platform - facebook.com/Benfisherinkrush - Thank you for all your support!
I notice you push your lines away from yourself instead of pulling them towards you. Is there a difference or a proper way. Is pulling the line not ideal?
It just depends on what set up you use really pal
It's all about keeping the needle grouping in the back of the tube for ink collection.
thank you man i have question please, sometimes when i tattoo alot of ink going out densely so i cant control and get the picture right, what is the fix for this issue ?
Maybe you're loading too much ink?
You using what is the solution
Hi how do you get your normal paper onto your skin a reply would be greatly appreciated

Yeah

what is the correct needle depth ?
There will be a video uploaded soon covering needle depth
Up to the beginning of the taper of the needle
What is that black paper u are using ?

Hi Mate here is the link - facebook.com/Benfisherinkrush - Thank you for all your support!
Back to the beginning for me. There's no shame in being a tryer
Absolutely not a shame .. keep on practicing
@@--Miguelito-- I never intended even getting the equipment. Its Ben's fault for being so positive and having faith in everyones ability. Who with this UA-cam channel could blow open a once secretive industry. He's a top bloke
@@normanpaxo4475 I agree, its Ben's fault for being so positive and believing in us!
@@normanpaxo4475 practice makes improvement.
It’s the best way and why Ben reiterates it in the videos - I trust everything he says as he’s genuine and obviously knows what he’s doing.
Are you left handed?
I sure am
Top stuff Ben 💉💉💉
👍
It's hard to do some of your lessons because your left handed
hes a great teacher but my question is why do he got fucked up tattoos on his hand and that bear on is arm is not equisite like his work who did that shit on him??
…
