This guy is awesome. Down earth, not afraid to share his knowledge and techniques with others. Tattooing is no longer the taboo forbidden craft that at once was years ago.
Thank you. Its been 3 years and i still can't find anyone to give me an apprenticeship. You have taught me everything need to know. I'll have my first client in a couple days as a b-day gift for myself. ❤❤❤
thanks for the straightforward content! no excessive intro, no off topic storytelling, just objective, helpful info delivered at a rate that feels accessible without oversimplifying. great for putting on in the bg while I practice
Been watching all your vids an im definitely a beginner done a cpl small tats years ago ,the tips an confidence you spread has been such a huge help ,bought a mast fold pro just days ago an working on some fake skin , the tips on shading has my tat coming to life ,used to pencil sketch landscapes an was a bit worried about trying to shade with needles but your tips turned all of it around an its definitely got me more inspired an confident in my art
I dont know how to say thank you enough for your videos. Im at beginning too and i love your work. Finally i know the difference between bugpin ans basic ones.
The skin turns overly red when I am shading and after it heals, the tattoo is very light. Would this mean that I am not putting the needles deep enough and just scratching the skin?
For people who dont know or understand what a curved mag is.. could you please explain. Im learning with an old school corded rotary so my needles and other supplise are different than what you show. I just went with a less expensive machine for learning purposes. Thanks.
what’s your thoughts on dragonhawk machines I got one as a starter but I’m open to recommendations on different machines 😁😁😁 loving the videos have helped to much used your line work technique and got the cleanest line ( I’ve been practicing for 3 weeks )
Im into trad and neo trad. Now, you use 4.2 throw for line work and packing colors on trad and neo trad. Could you also use 4.2 when whip shading or do you need to switch to 3.5?
Hey brother I have the packer . And I have another machine that Is a 3.5 is there really that much difference between them that have to change machines
On the label there will be a number 1221rm means standard size(12) 21 needles(21) round mag (rm) bugpin needles will be 1021rm (10 meaning smaller guage needle or bugpin) Hope this helps😎
Traditional / most cartoon characters are drawn with one line weights which would be easiest to translate to a tattoo, since you’d only be using one needle like a 9rl . Also because you’re using a more solid needle you’ll see less shakes than a 3rl. Hope this helps !
Hi, I have a question. So I tried a little bit of realism shading, and it left too much of those needle "dots" which doesn't fit into realism I think. Is it because I use standard mag, or because I move too fast, or don't go deep enough? Thank you for the video though!

Thanks a lot for this tutorial ! Shading is hard to learn and you're explaining very well !
Keep them coming I appreciate your knowledge and it helps a lot
Watching this as someone whose researched traditional coil machines 😂 so much to learn 😅
Would love to watch a tutorial with each shading technique in depth 🎉❤
Coming out in the next few weeks!
I use a 4.2 stroke machine and just lower the voltage if I’m doing soft shading , seems to do the job !
What voltage u running it then? I will figure out the speed but need to know what voltage..i have a 4.0 mm
@@s4nderino Try in the range of high 5, low 6 Volts.
@@wasewasp282 thanks!
Love all your videos.
What's up guys ys I like what you explained about the difference shedding I'm just starting out
Buzzing to keep up with this ❤
Taught in a way i can understand
Thank you for the great explanation and demonstration :-)
The way you explain is perfekt 👍
The skin turns overly red when I am shading and after it heals, the tattoo is very light. Would this mean that I am not putting the needles deep enough and just scratching the skin?
The “mast fold pro” is a really good adjustable stroke pen style machine for a decent price.
Yes. I needed that broken down ! Thank you

Whats the difference between the 10 and 12 gauge could you use either for shading

If you’re lifting to whip shade, doesn’t it decrease needle depth and the ink will fade quickly? How do you get dots at the proper depth?
Yes it will add to the affect if it’s fades alittle. Helps with the transition.
Hi Brandon was wondering on a couple things if any I could message you. Thanks
Has anyone taken the course?
You can check out some testimonials from our students here! ua-cam.com/play/PLBWQzaiHYMIweHO0YHBgkANZFIPzUdfO3.html
How do you differentiate the standards & bugs cartridges ?
On the label there will be a number 1221rm means standard size(12) 21 needles(21) round mag (rm)
bugpin needles will be 1021rm (10 meaning smaller guage needle or bugpin)
Hope this helps😎
You can read the needle codes! That'll tell you what types of needles you're looking at
By the gauges! Standards are 12
Where can I find simple beginner art to tattoo?
Traditional / most cartoon characters are drawn with one line weights which would be easiest to translate to a tattoo, since you’d only be using one needle like a 9rl . Also because you’re using a more solid needle you’ll see less shakes than a 3rl. Hope this helps !

I could be wrong but maybe use a smaller needle gauge and slow down ur hand speed. When u shade u dont have to go that deep as lining or packing..
Bishop pays a lot of money for all that advertising 🤟🏻
