✅How to clean your tattoo Needles between colors. 👀
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- In todays video I wanted to make a quick tip style video where I show/ share any tips or gadgets that may assist you in the tattooing process. But Thanks for watching!!! A common question I get is how do I clean my needles before changing colors during a tattoo. So today I am going to show you my process for cleaning my needles. Remember once the tattoo is over you need to dispose of the needles in a sharps container. And for no reason should you ever reuse a needle.
Hope you all enjoyed the video and if you did give it up a thumbs up and consider subscribing!!
I like to remind people that In no way am I a fantastic tattoo artist guys. I just love tattooing but I am still on my journey and want to show you how its done so you can do it and do it better then me!! 🤘
So don't give up if you want it bad enough its yours for the taking!

If your using black a lot on a tattoo should you rinse in between? As in does the ink dry on the needle during work?
There is another way that works really well. When you dip the tip of your cartridge into the rinse cup let the grip rest against the lip of the cup but, not in the water. It turns the rinse cup into a ultrasonic cleaner sending vibrations through the cup and cleaning the cartridge faster and more efficiently. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Thanks for the vids Bro!
Wow Mark that is a awesome idea!! I will certainly be giving that a try ASAP!! Thanks again Mark and thanks for watching and supporting the channel its much appreciated!! 👍👍🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething I love seeing people grow in the art and love supporting how and when I can. You are doing good things! I like it!
I know your comment it super old but I saw this to make sure using paper towels was fine. I was scared of the micro materials getting into the needle, but anyway! LOL I loved your comment, it makes so much sense. I will be trying that method from now on! Thank you 😀
i had a stroke reading this comment
@@heyypeople good!
Everydays a school day! I've never thought to flush through the opening in the top like that, thanks dave I will definitely be using that in my tattooing! ✌

Thnx Dave 👍 Is it possible to make another short video to show again how to put a stencil on a knee or elbow, shoulder etc.? Thnx men ✌️🤘
Yeah I was hopping to wait till I had another Knee tattoo but I dont know when that will be so I may just have to use my wifes Knee and make a short vid that way. 👍👍🤘🤘

TYVM! Now I won't waste a bunch of needles, when also practicing! I can clean them & save for another practice session! 👍

Thanks dave. I didnt know you could flush it that way.
No problem Joshua and thanks for watching brother appreciate the support!! 🤘🤘
Hey would an 11dt needle be the same as an 11rs needle
Why do you run your machine the entire time when dipping and wiping off on the paper towel?
This is great! I figured this out on my own years ago. Thankx for the confirmation I’m doing it right! Lol
Its funny you say that cause sometimes we dont know what is right and what is wrong so its great when I hear that other people do it pretty much the same way. It also helps me to know that I am doing it "Correctly" as well lol. Its just how I always do it so if it works for me it should work for others. SO thank you Trails I appreciate the support!! 🤘🤘
To be honest, I thought, why would you make a video for cleaning needles. But again you told something I didn't know 🤣🤣 so yes, I take it back! You learned me something, again 😄. And how about that, Monday I got a interview for an apprenticeship! Don't know if they're gonna take me, but they do want an interview! How great is that 😉 (and yes, that is because I put my heart and soul in it, but also because of Aaarrttt Soomeethinng!!)
Congrats Boris!!! SOO cool to hear you have an interview for an apprenticeship!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘 Cant wait to hear how it goes ! but either way you Keep you head up and dont let anything or anyone stop you or crush your dreams!!! Be yourself and be honest with them and always stay true to yourself!! So pumped for you man!! Oh and yeah I made this vid cause I got this question a lot and thought lets just make a video about it cause thats much easier then trying to explain it lol. And hey glad to hear you learned yourself something!! Best of luck my friend you got this!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Dude, I've been watching all your videos. You rock men! Thanks a lot for al the time and effort you put in it. Learning every day 🙏👍

Awsome thank u i neede that info.
thanks homie love the work you do your the only how to tattoo videos I watch and man youv help me huge respect for being you man and iv ordered some fake skins to tattoo and send them your way I think that is the coolest thing bro
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you 🎉
thanks
Your very welcome!! 🤘
cool stuff
Thanks Nasles appreciate that!
Thank you for your service. I'm a fellow tattoo artist/veteran myself. May I ask what is the name and make of your machine? I would love to try one.
This machine is the CNC Q2
After you're done a tattoo and say its approx. 5-10 mins after you finished the piece, the ink is now dried onto the needle. Are you able to clean the needle of the dried on ink, place back into inventory and use again on another person?
I would personally think that is a no-no but I am new and want to know this before I actually execute this idea. I was just going to dispose and buy new needles not realizing you can use distilled water to clean them.
You can use distilled water to clean them off during the tattoo to keep them from getting clogged or what not, but no you cannot clean the needle off put it away and use it on another client that’s the worst thing you can do.I’m glad you asked the question before just doing it. Hope this helps and thank yiu for watching and supporting the channel.
@@ArtSomething Thank You! 🤘
Good teacher fr
Hey brother, have to ask, what type of machine are you using?? I have a coil, it's been a pain, not sure if it's me or the gun, it's like it's trying to tattoo leather sometimes, always readjusting it, and recalibrating it.. Love some pointers as well... Thanks in advance
F...ing cool man! Thanks! Just got 10 new colors so imma make a 10 point Star with each color in the points... A little color palette to see how the Apply and Works and looks... That is where this tip comes in handy A.F 👌👌
Thanks for the amazing and helpful content brother!
Love the detail u go into💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥got my like and subscribe
When you clean it how do you stop it getting caught on the paper, and what does it mean if you try and clean it but it still has a lot of black stuck up in it, could it also mean im dipping ink wrong or too much.
Sometimes you can get A&D or Vaseline in your tube with the ink and that can be a pain to get out. SO every so often
I will clean my needles prolly only once during a 4 hour tattoo. but its good to try to keep the needle and tube clean as you work. And if you have the machine at a nice angle the needles should not penetrate or really hit the towel to much. Just enough to let the needles push the ink or water out of the tube. Well I hope this makes sense and I thank you for watching and supporting the channel!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
if your machine is always running , and you do black n grey tones - if that machines runs all the rime and you dip several times lets say little in the dark tone and then one dip in your lightest tone to get a different grey in between , would that muddy up the tones quick , lets say after 5 hours every tone would be the same and heal in just one grey tone ?
Question: distilled water is for the clients. But if I am practicing on a fake skin or fruit. Can I use tap water instead?
thanks for create video like this please can make a video how use and when to use liquid blue soap and form blue soap entare you tube dont have any video how to use and when use this thank you
I love watching all of your videos! but I do have a question about this one. it’s OK that the needles are going into the napkin fiber? those won’t transfer into the skin at some point?
Thank you,bro
Do you use any alcohol with your distilled water or just water
I just use distilled water no Alcohol. 👍
Doing the same already but still switch needles for white, those 0,01% that stay in the needle arent a big deal in anything exept white or am I still doing something wrong maybe ? / how do you handle white ?
Yeah a lot of times I would just get a fresh needle to do my white. But I have cleaned needles before and use them for white. Sometimes I think it just depends on what you were using the needle for prior to using white. Thanks for watching Losado appreciate support 🤘🤘
Great stuff!!
Does the needle not pick up bits of paper towel doing it this way?
Can distilled witch hazel be used to spray in the cartridge for the rotary pen???
I was always told to never use a paper towel to clean your needles as it leaves microscopic fibres between your needle configuration….to always use a medical sponge.
Before we go to next color. There will be water in tip after dipping it right?? So, will that second color get lighter when it mixed with water which is already insdie tip??
Thats why you need to dry the needle off on a paper towel to ensure the water isnt still in the tip when you dip into another color.
is purified water the same as distilled ?
Question: does it have to be stencil Water o can be Also Rins Water?
I try this and usually get paper stuck between the needles 😬. I'm not working skin all practice but I want to perfect it.
So how do you keep the needle from picking at the paper towel and picking up prices of it
My dude .
