  • When you tattoo black, its super difficult to get it consistent, especially when you are tattooing larger areas of Blackout. In this video I go through a few tips that have helped me achieve a more consistent blackout tattoo.
    Please be aware, this guide is not a guide on how to pack black, but a guide on how to get the most consistent black for large areas

    Great advice here., a lot of guys doing their own blackouts… well, I did mine, left arm wrist to top of the shoulder., right arm, wrist to 3 inches above the elbow., I’m left handed, and needed help in a few spots I just couldn’t reach., I did use a mirror, but most importantly, you have to take your time, because the stretch is seriously compromised tattooing with one hand. Use at least a 15 mag, a 27 or bigger is better., pick a 3 or 4 square inch area, and tattoo 1 square centimeter at a time, untill you get on a roll, and can widen it out a little.and use small circles. Don’t move on untill the area is saturated., if you find voids, you can hit it again, just don’t over do it., you will find that a complete second pass will really seal the deal., my blackouts are almost 2 years old, and I’m ready to start the 2nd pass, right arm first, then the left. The second pass will be easier and a little faster than the 1st., good luck you guys.

    I started my sleeve by myself when I was 18. Didn't even know it was a style, but I had multiple dreams where my arm was all black ink and I fell in love with the concept. Later on looked it up and found a wealth of other folks doing rad stuff like it.
    The hardest part is back of the arm and near armpit for sure 😂

    Regarding dilution of ink. Would you recommend a bigger cups which get diluted at a slower rate, but you change it less often or normal size cups which you change faster?

      движение будет таким же, игла является основным фактором для хорошей затемняющей татуировки. Изогнутая магнум не очень хороша, но с этой задачей справляется, лучше всего использовать обычные, сложенные прямо.

      I believe and I'm not an artist just looking into getting it done is that if it colors it's best to wait at least 5 years so the consistency of the black is the same. That's just what I've read tho
