For all the people that want to tattoo but don’t have an apprenticeship, go buy a book of traditional tattoos, trace as many designs as you can, keep tracing, trace your favorites the ones you don’t like, practice your spit shading and water colors, than do some more tracing, did I mention that you need to trace and then trace some more, keep tracing no matter what anybody else says and no matter how good you are at drawing. If you are against tracing and take the advice, you’ll understand why eventually. Whether you make your own designs or not, this is a tracing job.
In other words its i believe yiu dont need the artistic abilities to draw to do tattoos. As its a skill of its own. But drawing can help you understand it.
@@lilbmxman66akax999thhokage that’s actually a great way of looking at it, I would say interest in drawing iS a plus, being it’s rooted in it, but practicing your line work is the most important, there is plenty of reasons for tracing, but one key aspect is line flow, for example the way an eye might go into a nose, in a traditional piece might be a continuous line flow, this line flow you can take as a building block into other pieces, you could use the line memory to step into a place where someone can walk in with a random idea and you could pull from the data base you’ve created in your own mind something that looks like sailor Jerry drew it but is the design a client wants. The video and tips you watched are laying building blocks for photo realistic tattoo work, which is a completely different ball game, but some aspects of traditional line work can even improve upon the design aspects of photo real, plenty of the best European photorealistic guys have actually reverted back to a more traditional line work style and the results are amazing.
Ngl man rhis shits been confusing me for days, my depth controls pretty good you know for a newbie, but the throwaway skins are only a bit over 1.5 mm, and idk man every time i google how thick the epidermis is it says its way thicker then u did but ive tatted myself before and ik u aint gotta go this deep. This video saved my life
I know I am going deep enough but the ink is not depositing? I’m going slow as hell too. I’m letting it heal now before I go back in so I don’t overwork it.
Ive had an artist or two do some digging on me and I've also had a really good artist who was a finalist on ink masters do some work on me and I could barely feel it. Sat through 5 hours like it was nothing. It's crazy how much difference a mm or two can make. I've also tatted my own hand over a bone and only set my needle somewhere between 1-2mm and I barely felt it. I was actually wondering if it was going to stick or not lol. All I can say is this is very important and there are a lot of people out there who think the deeper they go the more the ink will stick blah blah. All that does is cause unnecessary pain and blowouts.
That’s why u only go so deep ur needle should never be long enough to do that I had my cousin do my first tattoo and he went over a vein and it never did anything
Honestly I gave up when they were talking about voltage and depth and speed and differnt guns and needles and differnt angles to hold the gun. My brain doesnt math like that.

There are 7 layers, the Dermis is where the liquid is held, not the epidermis..... dude this is major misinformation. The epithelial layer of the epidermis, where the liquid is not. The Dermis contains the liquid in your skin.
I don’t understand your comment. Where does he say the epidermis stores ink? He specifically says to target the dermis because that’s where the ink is held.
Meh fucking hurts like fuck don’t care what anyone says some places are ok but once you’ve done 100 hours like me your just over it and it’s just a fight or flight situation the entire time
DO NOT recreate what you see this guy doing… he’s barely getting it into the top layer of skin, he needs to go just a little bit deeper.. where it is now, it’ll fade away and be at least 90% gone by the time it heels and peels…. You’ll know when your in the dermis, once you’ve been doing it for so long it almost has a pop when you break into the threw the epidermis and into the dermis…. If your are real artist you’ll know exactly what I mean when you hit it…now don’t get it confused now your only going A LITTLE deeper.. the entire tip of the needle should penetrate
I always go off of that “Grip” feeling when you feel the skin is gripping the needle you’re in the right spot. Kind of boils down to getting familiar with what to feel for vs going off of how deep you are actually going or whatnot.

I totally get what you're saying. But you do need drawing experience, atleast a little. Tattooing is simular to drawing but its definitely different.

@@francisbaxter4663 Sorry I'm not native english speaker, what does tracing means? I'm guessing it's not just drawing lines?
Thanks for the motivation 😭😭
Bros just casually tattooing himself for our knowledge, thank you 🙏🏽
Of course! 🙏🏾

@@tomik6537 ? What
Considering i want to get a tattoo soon this is pretty useful to know how deep it goes and makes traditional tribal tattoos impressive too
Wowwww perfectly explained ❤ ty
No problem! 🙏🏾
I never want to get any tattoo but I find the topic so interesting
This was so helpful
Feel like nearly all tattooist go too deep
This helped a lot 🔥✅
Love the content 💕
Thank you! 🙏🏾
🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you so much!
Yo bro do a video on using low budget amazon kits and using regular paper for transfer paper
Or you could get actual transfer paper it's not expensive.
Thanks for the heads up 👌
I know I am going deep enough but the ink is not depositing? I’m going slow as hell too. I’m letting it heal now before I go back in so I don’t overwork it.
Try readjusting the length of the needle itself, if it hangs too far it won't deposit ink
Hey could you tell me how long a push bar in a cart grip should be?
Thanks man!!!
Glad to help!
My 2mm stroke machine is gold! #vladblad
I wonder how tattoo artist work around thick skin or higher adipose tissue in an area
Still hurts like hell though

Well said!
My only fear is to hit a vein or blood vessel
That’s why u only go so deep ur needle should never be long enough to do that I had my cousin do my first tattoo and he went over a vein and it never did anything
So that mean I have a tattoo at 11 cuz I accidentally stab myself with a graphite pencils and the mark is under my skin, so I have a tattoo??!
Honestly I gave up when they were talking about voltage and depth and speed and differnt guns and needles and differnt angles to hold the gun. My brain doesnt math like that.
I’ve had needles what felt like they were banging off my bones mate.
I guess that’s the downside of being 9 stone.
Lining too?

How do you practice this?
Fake skin / fruit
How do you know it’s the right depth?
Man just reading the top Google result
So what if he is?
If the info is accurate that’s all that matters
how would you describe the pain though? is it like a cat scratch? main goal is a sleeve. Note I'm a skinny guy.
Heck no, if it felt like a cat scratch I think most would tap out within 10 minutes 🤣
@@Qinks wait foreals. im kinda scared of getting a tat but I'm ok with cat scratches. so ill be fine?
Kinda feel bad for the guy getting all the dots for the explanation of the video .-.
The guy is me lol
@Qinks ohhh. Showing the technique on yourself?...
Were you able to turn it into something?
No, my legs are covered in tattoos so that spot it barely noticeable
@Qinks oh haha, I see.
Thanks for showing us the technique on real skin though. I appreciate your sacrifice.
I got sliced on my upper arm pretty badly a few years back and I saw 3 layers deep sh*ts wild to see and kinda nifty
The width of a dime
Dimes are 1 mil too
Thanks
Ugh you just brought to mind the fat on my stomach...its probably 9mm🤦🏾♂️

I thought the dermis was mainly just solid since it just looks like a white sheet before blood kicks in and interferes
