- Most of the tattoos I do now are long sessions 7+ hours.
In this video I share some tips that hopefully will help you start tattooing in longer sessions too.

I’m not even a tattoo artist I just like your videos.
This was me 2 years ago, now I'm an apprentice lol.
Anrijis I am glad I found you on you tube, I love all the advise you give and feel it will take my work to the next level.
Great tips! Thanks Anrijs for making this video! Really helping!
I'm about to do my third full day session tomorrow have been tattooing for a year, thanks for the info!
I really like your channel. U giving a lot import information about the subject. Thanks.
Always interesting to watch your videos !
Thank you so much for all your info ,i would like to see you tattooing live ,your black and grey work is freaking great my brother .god speed....
These videos are very helpful!! I am a new tattoo artist, I still have SO much to learn and so much to improve on. And I find these tips very helpful, Thank you so much for having this content :)
I did an 8 hour session the other day it was exhausting your videos are awesome.
thnx for your videos anrijs :)
Very nice and helpful. Thank you and Hi from Los Angeles
Amazing, u r the best ♡
Thanks so much for sharing!
I've done only a couple day sessions but I love them because I can focus on just one tattoo and don't have to worry about anyone else. It's easier. I do take mini breaks up to 10 or 15 minutes depending, but not many. I like to just power through if my client can. And it's a great feeling when you finish. I feel I accomplished something very well compared to smaller, shorter-time tattoos because I nearly literally worked the full 8(+) hours rather than had pauses between clients throughout the day. I suppose it does rely heavily on the client and so far I've had great clients for day sessions. I love the pointers though! The head lamp is a great idea!
Very cool tips! Especially those about helping your customer. I’ve been to many different tattoo artists in different countries as a customer and I must say unfortunately not many think about it, but those who do, really stand out and you always want to come back
Thankyou , Yes I've experienced how it is when tattooer doesn't care about customers or even artwork...
Customer has to be comfortable too, as getting tattooed is already uncomfortable feeling. So I believe the better customer will feel the better outcome of the tattoo will be.
Thanks for these great videos 👊🏾💪🏾💯 .. These pro artist hate this kinda of stuff.. keep up the good work👊🏾💪🏾💯
U are the best , really good vídeos thanks from argentina

Awesome videos (:
Hey anrijs! I hope you’ll do “how to prepare for a Long tattoo session” from the customer’s point of view!
his wife did one on her channel! it's really good!
Dan D I’ve been tattooed by Anrijs twice and I agree with a lot of what he said here. Have a good big breakfast to start your day. Have lots of water and snacks. I always have sweeties or a bit of chocolate because in a long sitting you will need your energy. I would recommend a pasta lunch or something like that. You can eat it cold and it’s full of stuff that will give you energy. Because by hour 4 onwards you feel drained because your body is processing pain and is suffering. I would have a friend with you or an iPad or music as a good distraction. If your sitting and dwelling on the pain then you are not going to last. Happy distraction is a must. Hope that helps.
Give me a suggestion. How to stop my shaking of hand.
Some guys told if I drink too much it will affect my tattoo skills . what should I do
I know I’m a little late to the video, but I was wondering what you do to help with fatigue after long sessions
I think I’m gonna grab a light and try it I find that I always block one side of lght then I have to move a light I’m gonna try one of them I’m 60 and half blind now lol but still love tattooing
How long do you usually wait before you do next session after a day seating?
Hey anrijs
I'm looking to get my first rotary machine and would like to know what you recommend, I'm still an apprentice but would like something I can do smooth black and grey but also pack in colour, I use coils for lining so I won't need to use it for that, keep up the rad videos they help so much!
Thanks dude
I believe if you are apprentice your mentor should recommend some machine for you , as he will be the one who will teach you.
good luck
How long do you have to wait between 2 sessions on the same tattoo?
for some of my old school traditional i sat for 5 and a half hours :P wasnt too bad until it hit the elbow haha
Hello, can you please tell what brand (possibly model) of head torch you use? I like the idea with charging withou unnecessary trash from batteries . Thank you. Good luck.
black diamond , I'm not sure what model.
6:10 SO TRUE!
how do I do s one line pass man?
Hey Anrijs! I am big fan, thanks a lot for all those videos. I have one question about headtorch. Do you use cold or warm light headtorch? I am not sure if its a valid question but I was wonder if theres difference between them. Thanks a lot and keep it up! ♥
to be honest I don't have a clue. I believe it's cold, as led light is bright white. more blue tone to it maybe, it's not warm tone to this. but I don't think that would be too big of a problem if it was warmer.
Anrijs Straume Tattoo Thanks a lot! I already ordered one headtorch. I always struggle with light and shadow while tattooing so this will be like gamechanger for me. Thank you again, you are huge inspiration for thousands of people.
You should tattoo me,lol. I can tolerate not only 8 hours of tattooing but 3days of tattooing 12hours30min. In total. I'm ready for more!
❤
That’s a great video! Just wondering - how long do you take to finish your pieces? Around 8 hours? I usually finish my day sessions in about 5 hours
takes about 6,5 - 7 hours. sometimes more sometimes less.
I would want to know what’s the pros and cons of numbing spray/cream? I know there’s a lot of artists who don’t like using it. Do numbing products affect the results of a tattoo in anyway??
I might make a separate video where I will talk about it.
Sup, sup support whit the best knowledge. : )
👍🏻
Hey Anrijs where did u get your green roll cab from dude?
it's studio supplied, I don't know. just google - workstations , will be million options there .
was curious on the overnight aftercare on two consecutive day sessions. and how many days in a row can an artist work on a sleeve?
how many days artist can work on a sleeve all depends on what technique is used , approach to it and of course customers strength and pain tolerance. I have done 3 days in a row many times. however I think 2 days is better, as most of the times 3rd day can be draining for both , tattooer and customer. But I've seen sleeves that's done 4 days in a row too by other artists.
for the aftercare on multiple sessions I highly recommend - Dermalize Absorbent Pads. (I haven't had chance to make a video about them yet, but hopefully will do in the near future)
you can cover the area where you finish on the first day , secure it with Dermalize Film. and leave it on till customer is back on the next day. By then most of the redness/swelling and soreness will be gone for that area, so you can easy carry on.
@@AnrijsStraumeTattoo your time and your knowledge is much appreciated ! thanks
i run out of energy and focus after a 3 or 4 hours,, is there anything i can do to recharge myself? maybe some food or vegetrables?
I would advice to slowly build it up . maybe try tattoo 3,5 hrs, then 4,5 hrs etc...
You can eat quickly 3-4 bananas. They are high in calories and nutritional value (pure energy)
that will keep your body running.
I always go for bananas to recharge, as it's so easy and quick to eat them, takes only few minutes break.
I work with lot of detail and sometimes it's easier to zone out. like for example when I feel loss in concentration I don't start doing small detail - eye or nose.
I work little more on background or hair , where I can have some freedom.
and I start important details after some time when I feel more concentrated.
good luck.
thank you so much for taking the time to respond
Bro, I would travel to where you are to be yur apprentice:) lol
Where can you order the head touch
google / amazon / ebay
hello there friend do you sell any flash books? with your work?
hey, I have flash set available, and lettering sketchbook.
you can check everything here - froststreetwear.com/collections/anrijs-straume-tattoo
Hmm though you would go a little further into not messing up your back. But suppose there's no magic secret =(
Hey Anrijs! I dig your videos. Also you are a beast tattoo artist. I know I'm reaching here but if there's any machines you don't ever use I'll be happy to take one off your hands. Also I think its be cool if you made more videos of you tattooing. Later man
Longest session I've done as a tattooist was 8 hours but most of them are only 3 to 5 hours. Most people can't handle 7 hours lol.
I believe it's depending on the style of tattooing. Most of my customers sit ok for 7 hours for realism. But when I do more lines / lettering / more traditional styles, then yes, most of them don't want to get 7 hours. Good session what most of the people would sit - is around 3-5 hours agree!
@@AnrijsStraumeTattoo appreciate the response man, I was wondering. I'm just now getting into learning realism but for the most part I've just been doing neo-trad and trad stuff so it's usually 3 to 5 hours max for me so far. The 8 hour one was a bunch of flowers so it prolly didnt hurt them as much.
Привет, знаю, что говоришь по-русски. Может будет видео о технике нанесения по-русски? У меня хромает английский, я вроде всё понимаю, но иногда не ясны некоторые моменты. РУССКОЯЗЫЧНЫЙ СЕГМЕНТ ЮТУБА БУДЕТ ОООЧЕНЬ БЛАГОДАРЕН))))
