I was with my mentor for 6 months before he lost the shop. I almost gave up before stumbling upon your videos. I’ll never skip any ads on all the videos 🙏 Appreciate you sharing your knowledge
You are my mentor. Thanks for this❤
Can you make a video talking about the different needle depth on different parts of the body like hands compared to arms
im an apprentice and I just wanna say you've taught me more than my mentor ever has !! (ik thats not exactly a good thing but nevertheless I appreciate this channel)
That's why I do what I do 😎
@@Tattooing101 ur a real one 💜💜
I can honestly say that this channel has helped me on my self taught journey. To the point where just a year in, I’ve already started tattooing on skin. Thank you for this channel God bless. Love from Miami, Fl.
Just what I needed for learning to tattoo at home! Can't wait for this weekly series, I'll be doing the Tattooing 101 course soon as well (:
I'll see you in the group soon :)
I hold a balled up wad of paper towel in the palm of my hand when tattooing. The same hand as the tattoo gun. I noticed a night and day difference in stability when I first tried this
💪🏾💯
I got the Mast Archer 3.5 (my first machine) last Week and finally started tattooing. Ur videos help out a lot and I really appreciate the time u take to make these videos for all of us.
Cheers and love from germany mate
AWESOME SERIES to return back to the fundamentals and build even stronger skills. You are awesome
Thanks! You're A Hero!
Appreciate all your knowledge, recently got a machine and these videos have been beyond helpful 🙏
Thank you so much for offering your wisdom. You don’t know how much I appreciate you ❤
I appreciate you taking the time to teach us people who don’t have access to the know how or knowledge of tattooing! Great series, I’ll definitely be tuning in!
Thanks for all the help
Watchin you has helped my progress so much 🤞🏿
Bcs of 101 and you Brandon, I started tattooing last year! Thank you! And thank you, cuz I see you as my mentor! Hope to meet you some day! All the best from Serbia🇷🇸!! 😊
That's awesome to hear! Glad to have been able to help you in your tattooing journey
Just wanted to say thanks for the tips. I’m just getting started in the industry at 37 yrs old. My mentor has me tracing for days. And my arm used to float all the time but your arm tuck tip has made my line work so much smoother
Great job!
Love these videos been leading so many tips n tricks. Just got in to it but before I watch any videos I been just learning on my own. But now I’ve learned even more n understand more 💯👌🏾 haven’t tattooed any body yet but just practicing on fake skin. Learned real quick I was going to deep but now I got the right depth. Just need to practice on my line work
Thanks for your videos! They have helped me a ton. Especially the three points of contact. I was terribly shakey and couldnt figure out why.
I started a month ago, and I use the ring and pinky fingers to stretch when tattooing myself since I don't have use of my other hand unless working on legs. It's not the best, but helps
I do this too!
Thanks for these!! Keep them coming
More to come!
thank you so much for these videos!
Glad you like them!
good video for starting great thanks this is helpfull a lot 🖤
Woooow thanks!
I’m doing the tattoo 101 class and it is worth every penny. Gonna do the Neo trad class next. Thank you for all yall do!

Any time! Hope to see you in the program soon
Brandon what are you using to clear away excess ink as i seem to smudge the fake skin so much that at the end it looks awful
I reeeaaaaly love what u guys doing!its helped me a lot and now im a tattoo artist and i learned it from u guys! Thank u so much!❤
Great to hear!
sensei !
First off, dope video. Really informative update on the basics. General question but any brand recommendations for Amazon pick ups for practicing, specifically cartridges and a little clarity on what makes up the quality gap if Amazon cartridges are a “no no” or not up to industry par for tattooing actual ppl? Regardless, thanks for contributing all that you do/have. You’re the man and a huge resource for us learning baby artists!
So I usually always tell people not to buy their cartridges and inks off Amazon due to the amount of fakes being sold on there. I can recommend if you're looking for cartridges that are more budget friendly to check out EZ Tattoo supply. They have some good carts there for pretty reasonable prices.
How do you stretch with 3 points if you’re doing an awkward small area like a wrist?
So I'm having trouble adjusting how far my needle hangs out once I bag my machine and wrap it wit sports wrap for comfort. Any suggestions

Hi, I'm just starting learning the basics, still not knowing if this is something I'm going to enjoy and keep doing in the short/medium/long term (I tend to left proyects/hobbies half way through)... considering that, I'm using low price materials until I figure it out if I'm gonna keep doing this or not😅so my question is: what can I do with a thin fake skin to make it work for a beginners level practice? (I got one from a tattoing kit and it's like 2 mm) will it work if I put 2 of them together or just accept it's useless and wait until I can buy a better one? Thank you! love your content, very helpful uwu
hi man been watching most of your videos, want to ask if you have a video that teaches where to apply bold lines when doing portrait or realism type of drawing. thanks man great vid as usual.
I don't think we have a video on that out just yet but typically if you're doing portraits in realism there wouldn't be the use of bold lines. But this can depend on the design as well.
appriciate the response man@@Tattooing101
How do I learn the correct depth if my fake skin is thinner than 2mm? I've gotten to the point where I don't have blowouts but it looks too "sketchy" or sketch like unless I go back over and pack the pigment.
Does it matter if you draw left to right or right to left?
Im left handed and having difficulty holding my machine so doing lines is hard . Any tips ?
what about to hold a machine on cartridge both fingers?
What is the name of this machine, I really like it
Gotta start by saying I’m a fan and love what you’re doing. However’ speaking as a healthcare professional and registred nurse for 8 years, being used to actual sterile procedures. Please stop missusing the word ”sterile”. There’s one thing in this procedure that’s sterile and that’s the needle before you open the package. The plastic wrap isn’t sterile’ the vaseline isn’t sterile, the tissue paper isn’t sterile, the gloves aren’t sterile and as soon as you touch the needle/cartridge with your non sterile gloves. It isn’t sterile either. The tattoo procedure, when done correctly, is clean. And that’s good enough to prevent infections and cross contamination. Also, gloves are used to protect the tattooer from blood and other body fluids. Your hands are CLEANER if you wash them and use a proper hand sanitizer before setting up and not use gloves. Studies have shown that overuse of gloves INCREASE the risk of infections and cross contamination. Due to a sense of false security. Thank you for your time and keep up keeping gatekeeping out of tattooing.
Finally someone said it!
Can those things be sterilized? Like if a tattoo artist has an autoclave are those things they COULD sterilize?
Blah blah
Karen…..go back to work and change some dirty diapers. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU BEING A “nurse “ or what you think you know. WE ARE ALL HERE TO LISTEN TO BRANDON……..NOT YOU. 🫵🏼

Big fan of all the content you put out guys.
Got a burning question tho. I recently bought a flite nano and a critical connect shorty power supply (rca connection ofc), however the battery doesn't really fit the machine properly and feels loose/disconnects randomly. Are you guys familiar with the shorty battery and whether or not it is actually meant to fit the machine?
Thanks in advance
(Happy for anyone to answer my query, thanks)
You need to push it till it clicks in
@Tattooing101 I've tried doing that :( when I push it further than it seems to want to go it feels like the connection will push into the battery or something. Luckily I bought another power supply and that one clicks in and runs fine. Was just hoping I'd get to use the expensive battery🤣
I’m considering taking the course, With the tattoo 101 course can I use that in the state of Texas as proof of training ?
Hi Jaylyn, this is something you will have to contact your local relevant authorities to find out if it can be counted towards your apprenticeship hours as the regulations and requirements differ from state/county
Do you have to know how to draw to start tattoo
Newer to your page but am loving the knowledge. A buddy of mine who wanted to get into it and the decided otherwise had given me some skins to practice on, but I've heard about the weird rubbery feel of the cheap ones vs the real ones. The real one he gave me is only 1mm. The cheap rubbery ones are 3mm but feel so weird to work on and I do not like them at all. What sites/brands would you recommend for a decent skin to practice on?
Reel skins
@@Tattooing101 Thank you! I'll check them out tomorrow! :)
What voltage do you run for lining on the packer
For me personally I run between 7-8V depending on the size of my liner. I tattoo a bit faster so I tend to run a little higher to match my hand speed.
What carts do you use for your packer? I bought a bunch of Envy carts and all of the needles stick out wayyy too far
I like the bishop davincis but T techs are good too
So when tattooing human clients, can you cover your pen in a machine cover bag and then use the tape over that to create a grip like you do on the fake skin or does it still have to be a grip that’s disposable? Thanks
Different codes for different health regulations I use disposable to be safe
When I hold my machine I hold it almost exactly like you say to but i extend my middle finger down on the cartridge and kind of use that for my depth control, do u think im doing it the wrong way & should i change it?
If it's working well for you, there's no issue in that. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with how you're holding your machine, and it doesn't hinder you from pulling/pushing your lines
@@Tattooing101 ok cool, good to know!& Thanks for the reply man! 👍🏼💯
I hold my machine like this too (:
What size needles do you use for line work?
It depends on the design but I usually use 14s, 7s, & 3s
What angle do u hold your machine at when pulling lines
About at a 45 or 50 degree angle
i have a big problem regarding on shaking ang wabling everytime i make lines and circle,.its been more than a week since i started practicing,.but still i cant fix it..plsss help,.i really really want to learn tattooing..
I saw another UA-camr measure reel skin with a jewelers digital measuring tool and it only came out to 1.91 mm thick. I thought on average they were only 2mm thick? Have they thickened them up?
on the reel skin website i noticed it said they were handmade, it results in some being thicker/thinner than others so its not always the same thickness. i believe it said it should be 2mm-3mm
Im use to have my ring and pinky underneath The cartridge and my middle finger on top of the machine
I have a question no one seems to answer for me…is there a such thing as over stretching the skin or too much stretch??? Or is it typically the more the merrier?
Yes but you don’t want to stretch it to the point that it’s uncomfortable
How can I order reel skins?
Seems to be a lot of copy cat companies out there
From their official website would be the safest bet!
im returning to tattoo and learning to use wands over coils. Im practicing with fake skins and getting the same issues I have always had with my linework: STENCILS! I keep losing my stencil as i wipe ink away. Ive tried to let the stencil sit on the fakeskin for days before tattooing but it still gets wiped away as im lining it. On real skin, its usually the same thing, maybe not as bad, but i cant let a stencil sit for day, i can only let it sit for 10-20 minutes to sink it.
After you stencil it blow dry it on hot about 3 inches away in a sway motion, if you still have a problem it’s going to be you or the fake skin, try reelskin or trueskin
I have a small space heater in my bathroom. I set the stencil on the fake skin and leave it in front of the heater for about a cigarettes worth of time and then its much better at not wiping away.
Try a hair dryer, but what make of fake skin you using? I use Reelskin.
I got the Mast Archer 3.5 (my first machine) last Week and finally started tattooing. Ur videos help out a lot and I really appreciate the time u take to make these videos for all of us.
Cheers and love from germany mate
Great to hear that man! Good luck in your learning
