Why I Tattooed myself

- In this video I wanted to look into how tattoo's work, so I decided to do a DIY tattoo on myself to find out how
We got the close-ups by flipping the lens on my DSLR, which turns it into a macro lens!
Transcribed Audio:
Tomorrow I'm going to tattoo myself.
I had just seen the ink get drawn up through the capillary movement, which I had never seen before, but if you watch closely you can just follow it rising.
So then I took the plunge and the needle went in.
With the seven round liner you create seven little holes and as the needle gets dragged back out, the ink that was stored right in the middle, floods into the holes and that's actually what causes the tattoo to set.
Now I went with a design of this little guy that I like to animate when I'm doing tests and because I'm so scribbly anyway; I knew that my unprofessionalism would be ok.
I let it roll with the crappiness of my skill with the tattoo needle.
As I kept doing this it was weird because the whole history was rushing through my mind.
This isn't just me sat here sticking a needle in my arm like an idiot. This was a technique that's been done for thousands and thousands of years.
The oldest tattoo's we've found are over 5000 years old, from a man that was frozen in a glacier.
That's insane!
The small marks he had were probably done by cutting his skin and then rubbing in a charcoal mix; I'm not doing something that much different now.
Tribes around the world have marked their bodies in so many different ways, the Māori's have these swirling patterns on their face.
In parts of Africa people practice scarification.
The Japanese would mark their prisoners, so they embraced it.
The Yakuza came up with whole body suits, just to be like "So what? If I'm going to have it, it might as well look good." Sailors would have anchors to say that they had gone across the Atlantic Ocean and they get a Swallow tattooed on them for every 5000 nautical miles they had sailed.
This is something that has been a part of us for a long time.
I'm glad I've done what I've done because even know I've only got this scribble on my arm, it feels kind of more than that; but next time, I'll probably get it done by a professional.
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it
We've been working on this for a couple of months, not just this video, but this new format. We can make new videos about once every 2 weeks and I'm starting a podcast that's going to be going up weekly, I'll put a link in the description when we start that.
So before you wonder, that tattoo it's all fine, we filmed about two weeks ago there's no infection, no nothing, it's great.
As far as great goes, for a Stick n' Poke tattoo from someone with a kak-hand.
So if you liked it, chuck us a like, why not subscribe and chuck a comment below, cos I do read them all.

Tattoos are meaningful to me because they’re seen as permanent, a constant on in your life as you grow up and life changes. And as life changes, the meaning of the tattoo can change too

CM Jones thanks dude :)

Well it's later today so......
holy crap can't wait dude, cheers!
The way you thought so deeply of something that most people would find just simple is honestly just amazing. It is so calming.
I've always liked the idea of having my first tattoo be something that I have hand drawn or done myself. Cool video by the way, I really like the way you edit your content :)
This is amazing, finding your channel was like finding a gem on a beach; unlikely to happen, but enlightening when it does.
Watched your stream today , I have to admit im a little dissapointed I did not watch other videos after the potato one. They cinematics are beautiful and the video informative in an artistic way. Go get it lad!
Interesting film style, I subscribed!
Can't wait to see more from you. This channel is going places.
How do you not have more subscribers!? YOU VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!
Thanks dude :)
Hey man, your content is very relaxing and well made, cheers
your videos are amazing
I love your videos i just found them but this video was sooooo soothing and i just love the tone and rhythm and sound of your voice not to sound creepy! Lol definitely watching from now on
Just came across your channel .It's amazing , You have a good story telling style and the video editing and scenetography is awesome.Keep up the good work.Hello from Romania
Hi back from Wales!
Wow! Great video, you certainly deserve more subscribers! I look forward to your future uploads.
Your about to blow the hell up. Enjoy the wave.
subbed, i'm not sure how i found you but damn it's cool to watch
Great videos , great attitude and character.👌
This is amazing holy shit
Your voice is gold for documentaries

Damn man.... just discovered your channel . you give me the chills. your style and way to be and think and the editing its just so comforting and relaxing. great job man. keep it up.
Thanks dude :)
I'm a tattoo artist, love thisssss ❤️❤️❤️
you deserve more subscribers!
Your videos are so beautifully directed and atmospheric, you deserve more views honestly. I just found your channel and I’m already in love with your content . :)
Thanks dude, I appreciate it
This was very interesting
personally I'm a purist when it comes to tattoos and i hate stick and pokes because i firmly believe you should get it done by a professional but your tattoo is a good exception. It's the static looking lines and how it is not completely darkened that add to it, especially because you use that character all the time just a quick drawing before your vids. I like it
I totally agree dude! I made sure it was something which worked looking a bit shitty, didn't want to try something out of my league!
Why A chanel talking about Drama , its more popular than this . This is gold , not for your drama meter or your funny , its a Gold for your mind , to your self . to relax and chill... its like to talk without any words . , if i have a chanse to only say one thing to you ... Proud of you
Thanks dude :)
You would really read my comment? If you are, you are fantastic! Thank you for making such great content!

Lately your videos are on my recommended. Really good works on that tattoo! Need more videos maybe vlogs?
Thanks dude :) I'm trying out a couple of ways to make regular content, whilst also juggling a full time job, doing some freelance work and working on a documentary!
I've got some ideas and a sort of vlog style is in my mind. I'm gunna be trying it out later this week. I would love to hear some feedback when it's out :)
