  • What is a grey wash? How is it different from a grey shade? How to make a grey wash?
    If you have any of these questions, then this video is for you!
    In this video, I have explained what is a Grey Wash in tattoos and how it is used in tattoo shading for black and grey tattoos. You will learn how to use grey wash in tattoos, how to make tattoo grey wash, how to mix grey wash for tattoo shading, and much more.
    A grey shade is made by mixing black and white pigment whereas a grey wash is made by mixing the black pigment with water. The power of transparency is much higher than grey shades in the case of tattoos and grey wash for tattoo shading, thus, gives the desired output.
    In this video, I have explained this in a simple yet very detailed manner.

    The information you provide is worth gold. Even though there is no Turkish translation in the video, I combine what you say piece by piece, and the information that I cannot find from Turkish sources comes to life in my mind. I really thank you, your videos make a lot of people light.

    Great Grey Wash explanation. It was simple and straightforward. Good argument on why use a wash. There is a time and place for different variations of grey colors. There is also a proper use of grey-wash as applied to different colors of skin.

I'm getting ready to do a few years in federal prison & figured I'd get a head start with black & grey work. I'll have plenty of time to practice.. even if it takes a year to get a homemade machine together- I can practice on a daily basis with pencil & paper until then!

    Pushing white in a uniform manner while difficult is far from impossible. Though the best way ive found is tedious at best just using #1203RL/LT and do the absolute smallest concentric circles you can. I do first layer without puncturing the correct depth to get a "primer" down then I go like normal. It can take forever but it works and works well.

    How can you get black when fully saturating with lets say 40% dillute ? if you heavily saturate with 40% youll actually get 40% meaning it wont get any darker than 40% ?? if you use black for saturating- you can actually softly make 20, 40, 60%ect all the way black. (ofc stroke and needle depth plays alot).

    • @SunnyBhanushali
      @SunnyBhanushali  3 роки тому +7

      Sander Virki if you take 40% black and add your first pass it would be 40% on skin, and if you again add another pass then it will add up to become the darker black, and if you do multiple passes, you will end up getting 100% black. That’s how greywash works :)

    whats your take on a machine that is constant running `` battery pack `` , when dipp for greywash tones . i feel like if the machine is constant on- the needles would mix up every tone in the ink cup very fast if you dip for in between tones `` lets say middle tone grey and a little in the light grey `` would not that light grey become darker and darker over the session ?

    So question: if you have a 1/4 cap of black; you can build up layers until you get a look that looks like it was done with a full cap black.? The point being that not all shades in tattoos are made with the shade they look but actually multiple passes of a lighter than seen shade of black.?
