Best description I’ve ever heard.. nicely put.. that was a huge one for me learning how the tones work with the different grey wash mixes. It’s good practice to just use straight black to try and achieve transitions from light to dark too! Helps with control
I agree! Thats what I struggled with a lot! Thank you for the compliment as well!
Bro your teaching methods are sick, ive been tattooing for several years but im stilm learning and your knowledge is appreciated
Wow glad to hear that bro! Thank you!

Hi Sir i am one of your follower just want to asko in tattoing real skin using the 20 percent black do i need to make it black i mean the same black of the reference or it will just puff out the black or become gray?
Wow!
Thank you bro 🙏
No problem! Thanks you for watching 🙏🏾
What kinda taper does it have along with diameter ?
Could I ask what sort of pressure you're using for shading to build up with a mag?haw hard you press the needle in/how much of the needle actually goes in?just found your channel and I'm hooked already, great videos great content!
Sure! Very little, you don’t need much pressure to go into the dermis of the skin, check out my latest live stream for a better answer
I explain it better there
Thanks so much for the replies! Really helpful!
Tq bro..u really teach the right techniques and I have a knownladge of how to brush the needle into the skin 👌🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼
Could you please do a colour blending tutorial ? I'm trying to progress with colour realism and it's hard finding info.
Hmm thats a great idea! I’ll do something like that?
@@Qinks thanks bro just the actual technique for colour realism would be perfect. You rarely see it discussed it's more black and grey.
Why do you dry wipe instead of the traditional method of green soap or distilled water method?
I do that to maintain the stencil for a longer period of time.
I been practicing tattooing for a few weeks now on fake skin and myself I was wondering how to do lighter tones of shading and bruh your videos are the shit appreciate you my guy. I’ve come pretty far in a short amount of time still got long ways to go but I’m running out of room on myself lmao
Haha thats dope! Glad to help, best of luck to you on your tattoo journey 👍🏾
Thanks
Thanks from france bro 🙏
Thank you as well 🙏🏾
My artist needs to watch this….
Correction, my FORMER artist..
What do you use to dilute the ink is it just regular water?
Yes just distilled water
you have tips for packing in black. such as in a blackout sleeve
Try going in small circles, use a smaller mag like a 7 or a 9. Get a machine with a longer stroke (4 millimeter at least) slow your voltage and focus on depth
@@Qinks thanks. what kind of voltage do you use please ? A voltage like in lining ? or a low voltage ?
Where'd u get that percentage ?
I am currently working as a tattoo artist. My question for you is, what is the best way to position someone to tattoo the front of the neck.
Laying on their back with their head titled upwards. Sorry just seeing this
Nice video brother ❤❤
Thank you!
The best
🙏🏾🙏🏾
what voltage is the best for shadows overall?
There is no set voltage that is best for any particular type of work. Every artist works differently so you have to find what works for you. Try playing around the 6.5 to 8.5 area and see what suits you. With time you’ll find what you like best.

Hello, I have a question, if you do black and gray why do you use 100 percent black. For example, the fur structure of a Tieger 75 or 100. I'm sometimes unsure. I think with black and gray almost no 100 percent is used, right? Best regards
Definitely use 100% for the darkest points of a tattoo, i can also achieve dark grey tones with 100% just depends on how much i saturate the area
Is the light pressure going to fall out one healed or is it actually hitting the dermis ?
Always wanna hit the dermis, the point of the light pressure is so there is less time spent in the dermis
@@Qinks oh ok thanks Q
so you shading with an magnum flat ?
No its a curved mag
I noticed that you're pulling it backwards. What would happen if you're pushing it forward instead? I mean. Does it make any difference in terms of results or just to avoid from damaging the skin?
No difference, i find it easier not to go too deep that way. But when doing pendulum you swing back and forth
Q Inks what about when shading a smaller area ?
Tilt your mag, or get a smaller one. Use faster hand speed. Sorry just saw your comment
I love u thx
🙏🏾🙏🏾
I get a lot out of your videos have you got one on tattooing smoke?
Thank you! Not yet, coming soon though
Do you have any courses I could buy ?
I do! I have two! I will say my virtual coaching is likely the most bang for the buck though
So you mean you CAN’T stretch the skin when packing darker color but you stretch the skin when you do the lighter color?
Sorry for the mix up, I meant to not stretch the skin too hard. But always stretch it
@@Qinks thank you so much
You are welcome!
Well well well I just caught your UA-cam channel I was wondering what type of skin are you using and what kind of tools could you leave it all in the comment or two to get all these type of things would love to know just starting off at just got all my parts recently but haven't figured out where to get the skins could you please do tell where
Check out this vid for the skin Best Fake skin for Tattooing?

I have a lot of other things I recommend. Its in my Amazon store. www.amazon.com/shop/seithearchitect
I just got out of prison and we used watered down black ink for our grey wash(soot) but now that I'm out I can't wait to buy actual grey ink,I tried making it mixing whit and black,but was disappointed ,caught myself dipping into my water cup to water it down
Any experience with Moms black onyx tattoo ink?
Yes, I dislike “moms” ink lol 😂
Colour name black tattoo ik
Is putting all this ink and water etc in the skin really safe for u? Surely it causes some infections no?
It can happen, this is why Artists need to have blood borne pathogen protection training. Most of the time infections come when clients expose their tattoo to unsanitary environments after leaving the shop.
Why my needle getting stuck in the skin when i try to do this?😢
Your voltage may be too low, the needles you are using may be low quality. You may have not shaved the area properly
Is a 2.5 machine good for this technique?
Yes all stroke machines are great for this technique. All just depends on personal preferences
@Qinks even a 5mm stroke wouldn't that fuck the skin up? Can you get a nice dark tone with a 2.5. I mean no disrespect I'm not a pro just apprentice but my mentor tells me all sorts n it's confusing
@@andyhowden7655 well the higher the stroke the lower you would want your voltage to be. If you’re beginning its easier to shade on a lower stroke machine
@Qinks thanks man it's a good tutorial you put on here. I'll work my way up the strokes then since I'm lucky enough to have 2.5, 3.5 and 4mm machines. Take care from the UK
Máster what is the cap size
Large preferably but it applies to any cap size
🤣🤣🤣 and please don’t call me master lol

3:58
What kind of skin is that??
Its this amzn.to/3zf4WIp
By the way u no use wather u use destiled wather
Yes I use distilled water
A real artist knows you can't be taught tattooing but it comes naturally
Fucking nonsense. People are just born knowing how to tattoo? Lmao
“A real doctor knows surgery can’t be taught, it comes naturally…” 🥴
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Qinks Do digital artists translate over to tattooing easily?
If you're trying to get full saturation with 75%, why not just pack it? Seems like over working
The point was that you can get different tones based off your saturation. Not to use 75% instead of full black
@@Qinks I see what you're saying. Duh. Full saturation at 75% lol. My bad
but this method takes to many passes over the skin, this would be good if you are experienced this isnt good if you are new. it would leave those paterns intead of a soft shade.
Thats your opinion
Tattooing is not at all like drawing with a pencil
If you think that was my point then you missed the point.
nope, that's just my realization
Access and Excess are 2 different words bro and you are using the wrong one
don't be fooled fake skin is nothing like using real skin so this is not going to work repeated onto a human
Okay well we shall wait for your video on how it “should be done” since you know so much
I use this technique on actual skin. I think using the backward motion is less traumatic so you can make more passes. Sometimes I take my voltage to 5.5 -6. To each their own I guess
No your right I have a 4mm fk iron flux use 5.5-6 max for almost anything I do even color packing at min of 2-3 pass max /my mentor always told me to care for my client and never overwork tattooing to cause trama
@@Qinks go try for yourself gomer asking me to make you video you imagine
I said in the video that this is slightly different on skin. This isn’t constructive criticism at all.
Don't like tattoos on porn actors clowns or sneeches.
What skin are you using
Its from Amazon I forget the brand name
WITCH HAZELLLLLL that’s safe to put in ur skin????
