I go to that high school with the kid with a full sleeve tattoo. He was in my chem class and is a super nice chill guy. I believe he’s had his sleeve since freshmen year. It is a really well done Hawaiian tribal sleeve as he is Hawaiian. I’ve seen the sleeve up close and it is sick. He’s also a great football player and was the starter on varsity as a freshman.
My best friend posed nude for a co-worker who paints with his feet (a painter who started to lose the use of his hands due to health concerns.) I thought it was a gimmick to see her in her birthday suite, but let me tell you, that painting is BAD ASS. It's not crazy realistic, but it's beautiful. I think it's perfect just the way it is. It's tasteful, well done, and the guy got to paint a hot nakey lady, so everyone wins!
Quite a while back, I worked at a nice Italian restaurant, and we had a regular customer with no arms. It was absolutely amazing how he used his legs and feet. Sometimes he came in with friends/family(?) but often came in for lunch solo. He'd open the front door with his feet, look through the menu, and ate so delicately and politely, with a fork and knife, but with his feet... it honestly blew my mind. It's incredible how people can adapt!
@@cerrisalyn that is incredible! We are such an adaptable species. We all need to appreciate the little things more, that's for sure. And now I want Italian food, hehe!
“They act like I’m their fucking dad or something” 😂 as an artist who has a great relationship with their mentor, I can confidently say that my mentor is like a dad to me. My tattoo dad 😂 you say you hate them, but you say it with all the love a tattooer can have for their apprentices. Embrace the dad-ness!
There's times in my life when I've felt less like a human and more like an alien who has learned how to mimic human behavior. That said, I'm pretty glad I look human. It makes this whole thing easier.
Big fan, congrats on 70k+ subs! I'd love a video based around head/scalp tattoos. Maybe even before with hair and after with tattoos. Love your content keep up the good work.
I was in the Navy and met a guy at a bar in the Phillipines. I got a tattoo from him sitting at the bar for like pennies. He free handed a koi fish and it didnt turn out that bad honestly. I still have it and would like to get it touched up eventually. But part of me also doesnt want to fuck with it. My Right sleeve all has pretty cool stories behind them when I was in the Navy and getting Different tattoos around the world that if you looked at you would never guess it was done by multiple artists.
Sorry but I'm just sitting here staring like you know what, I better just comment this cuz I know I'm not the only chick watching this shit staring thinking the same thing😂😂😂😂
I told my kids while they were growing up, they could pierce what wanted (within reason) , and they could color and cut their hair how tbwy wanted, but to wait until they are at least 21 for tattoos. And even then, think about it for 6 months before doing it. Happy to say none of my kids have tattoos they regret.
I didn't allow myself to get tattoos until I was almost 30. I wanted to make sure my brain was fully developed and had some grasp of who I was as a person.
at 3:50 he's talking about how he'd like to see the sleeves that were on high school kids he grew up with. why would they look bad? is there something bad about getting a sleeve at a young age? like the design or something else?
Hey Kirk, I don’t know how many submissions you get but I sent in a piece a while before the last viewer submissions video came out. Do you go back in the backlog to pull them next time or should I try submitting another piece I have? Appreciate the video as always my man
Hey friend! You can always resend me stuff, but I do hold onto old emails/submissions to go through in future videos. I pick photos bases on whether there’s something for me to talk about. A lot of tattoos are just GOOD which means I don’t have much to talk about with them. So they don’t make it into videos. I wish I could talk about everyone’s tattoo but I do get a crazy and surprising amount of email with peoples tats. I appreciate you sending them in though! 🤙🏽
6:22 the skeleton hand was an idea that was going around Tiktok. some lady had this "great idea" of a skeleton holding the back of your neck, and all the tattoo artists were like "ew.... no thats a bad idea??" and this is what it looks like I guess. Not a fan personally. Seems like a waste of space for a backpiece, and implies that youre getting railed from behind by a bag-o-bones? nah......
7:45 crazy that the first three dudes are handsome enough to legit be models... I would love to find out more about what type of personality disorder traits they have and what has caused them to respond in such a harsh manner to the way that they were treated throughout life... I mean it's obviously something that has made them want to transform how people treat them and the narratives that they want to be shaped around them. The majority of the individuals before they had the transformations were extremely good looking people.
hi kirk!! have been interested in tattoos for a while and decided to research before getting my first “real” tattoo at 19!! unfortunately when i was young and not very well mentally i got totally duped as a stupid 15 year old. a friend of a friend LIED (didn’t realize he lied to me until recently lol) said he did his own tattoos and offered me one. i accepted. dude was a liar. had very solid nice lines but my tiny bee tattoo turned out like crap lol. it healed terribly cause i knew nothing of tattoo care. it’s been years lol. but now i’m an adult and learned my lesson. i’m going to a renowned international artist for my first proper tattoo. i’ll be getting a baby fawn curled up framed by flowers. hoping to do a super dynamic pose within a small frame. choosing between my arm and upper thigh incase i outgrow it lol. but i think i’ll always love cute baby animals and florals
You didn’t mention a black panther. I just saw there is a black panther on the frame behind Kirk and it is on the front or the frame like he put there deliberately. I think that is so funny!! lol. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These body mod no nose people depress me too… it’s not just you man… it breaks my heart as a mom, as a person… it makes me think they don’t value their bodies, and don’t like themselves… but I may just be the old mom now who doesn’t get it 😂
Dude youre videos are awesome! I realy enjoy to see u rage out about the same stuff i dislike like... show me a natural tatt not vector art with 10 filters xD
Why do you not want your nose? that question hits deep, who are we as people, what is a nose, what is existance, if I eat a snack, is that too much food for the day, is my belly going to get bigger
Can you actually tattoo teeth over lips lime on that mask one. Im trying to zoom in and started wondering if that is even doable with tattooing. Maybe someone out there who does know can fill me in. Thanks in advance
I think he met the people he went to school with and I grew up in the '80s and '90s and I can tell you right now that a lot of the people that I went to high school with their tattoos were complete trash. And probably look more like trash and I know for a fact because I have a really good friend who I've known since 14 who got multiple cover-ups because they were trash.
2:15 i think the tattoo is done really well. We can all tell what it is and it looks cool when he talks, the teeth are placed well. I dont think kirk is "mean" i like hearing kirks commentary. it's why i tune in to kirks channel
Those body modification people would have aged so beautifully, had they allowed their features to come in and settle. Workout if they didn't like their appearance but tampering with their natural looks made things so much worse than it made it better. I can't.
in middle school a kid in my class got his whole forearm tatted and the teacher who saw it lost her mind cause he was only like 13/14… but hey it wasn’t even that bad tbh
Anthony Lofrado was such a handsome man😮. Why on earth would someone do that to themselves? On purpose? Still of these "before" pictures show good looking men and women. It makes me wonder, "What happened to these people that made them decide to destroy their faces and bodies the way they have?😞 I truly hope it helped them rather than destroyed the further.
Body mod is a great and beautiful thing, it goes back to my heritage/ back to the Mayan culture. BUT there a a difference between body mod and mutilation not sure what’s going on with everyone chopping their nose and fingers/ that is just in my opinion being disrespectful to your own body.
Because back in the 50s if somebody wanted that at a tattoo shop everybody would say "no, that's wrong, we're not doing that" Now we have to be accepting and supportive of everything, even if it's somebody being incredibly self destructive.
@@Jake-bt3fc dude, yes tats and piercing have been illegal in some parts of the world but in other it has been highly celebrated for centuries; even in the Mesopotamian civilizations.
I don't think the skeleton hand going up the back to the neck is well executed at all. This person needed to get an anatomy book. It looks like they were trying to draw it from memory.
Your tattoos are very basic compared to the artists you critique. In one of your videos you mentioned the thickness of your ink stays consistent which is SUPER OBVIOUS. You hate on a lot of artists. It seems like you are insecure about your own work.
Jumping into the salt water literally after getting a tattoo is crazy work
The best and most tattoo focused content on UA-cam. My man.
There’s a fine line between “modification” and “mutilation”
And the line is consent
@@katethegoat7507 Self mutilation is a thing. Is that when you don't give yourself consent for body mods? lol.
@@katethegoat7507 Explain self mutilation then, lol.
Yes, but historically scarring has been as common as tattoos in many cultures so I don't know if it's that simple
@@Jake-bt3fc if you're not able to consent, either because of mental issues or age or intoxication
addicted to this guys videos recently...
Me too and you couldn’t pay me to get a tat. Good to see some people care about at least encouraging others to get the best tattoo possible.
Same tbh
SAME😂 it’s the perfect break from life channel 😂
Real
I know my autoplay keeps on putting his stuff on every time I wake up😂

Aww nice to some fun between you and your apprentice. I think you would be a great teacher to learn this craft from Kirk.
That tat cake is insane, I've seen some great realistic cakes but that was on another level!
its a new ai (pika)
its actually a real tattoo
I just adore the constant uploads from this guy.

1:43 - Just in time for Halloween but going to look awkward at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
What’s up Kirkle love the content!!! Why has tattooing slowed down?
The economy is slow overall
It’s weird cuz every good tat shop around me has been fully booked out for a while.
I Love your channel...thank you for being a great human.

Tattooing is slow because people don’t have disposable income anymore. 500-1000 for a new tattoo or pay rent. Easy choice to make.
Wow, what a hot take. Who would’ve thought it was tHe eCoNoMy?

Ricky genest might've ended up going deeper in the mods but he unfortunatly passed away a while back.

Where do we send our tattoos to?
I’m not okay with people disabling themselves in the name of body mod and then claiming disability…

Simple bold tattoos are better because complicated fine tattoos turn into blobs.
I would argue that he's secure enough about his own work that he knows what is and isn't a good tattoo. Which is why he has his own style.
