I need one question bro.. which mm sized insect the real skin..
I was clueless 20 min ago , now I have more answers than I was hoping for , thank you for demonstrating this !
In a totally platonic, positive, therapeutic, I-was-gonna-rage-quit-and-literally-clicked-on-accident...I love you , man. This is amazingly helpful. Thank you.
This is the best visual I've come across on needle depth compared to the layers of the skin. Now I just need to figure out hand speed/voltage and I'll be golden. Thanks for the awesome video!
THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE *BEST* NEEDLE DEPT EXPLANATION ON UA-cam! LOTS OF THANKS!

Your videos are always so informative ❤️ this is the best representation of needle depth I've seen in a yt video so far.
This was the perfect way to explain this. As a visual learner, it puts things into perspective. Thank you!
Geez this is the explanation I’ve been looking for to visually understand depth. Thank you so much
Honestly out of all the people I watch to learn more about all things tattoo, you my friend are hands down the best. God bless you for helping us that really don’t want to have to be an apprentice at a shop forever to learn. The one thing I struggle with the most is thinking I’m going to deep but watching this video and your other one about depth helps. I’m starting to tattoo my thigh to get an even better idea of what I’m learning. Thank you!!!!!!! ❤
Amazing!!! Thanks for one of the BEST explanations regarding needle depth... I struggled with something and got answers from this video that I really needed... Thanks sooooo much!!!
This is ABSOLUTELY the BEST explanation, demonstration, in youtube or any other platform 😮 You are amazing! Thank you! very clear now👍🏻

Easily one of the best example videos for needle depth. Thanks for this 🙇🏻♂️🙏🏻
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback and support Gavin!
I appreciate you.
Great video ! The dificulty is hitting the right needle depth wile shading with a mag , coz when lining u can see slowly your needle tip but with shading 🥲🤷🏻♂️
Thank you very much for the kind feedback, I appreciate you.
I know what you mean! Shading can be a bit tricky to grasp but it is totally achievable with the correct approach.
I made a video explaining how I go about shading with a mag and I will link you to that video below.

I love the subtle unintentional pun
@@deadnormalanimation just noticed that!! 🤙
I got to say this is a pretty good video, I bought a machine not that long ago mainly to give myself a couple of tatts. I was pretty bugged out about depth and all that and the practice skins ppl are talking about you should use are a little pricey for me at the moment, but I spent like 2 something on some bananas so I figured let's try this. I used one unpeeled and cut it to work on getting a feel and visual for how deep the needle should be going, then covered the whole thing with ink trying to get my hand used to it and pulling lines and doing some shapes. Then I used the peels off of eaten ones to keep practicing and I gotta say I feel kinda confident in moving to my thigh and trying some lines and a basic design. I definitely got more I need to know about like needles,shading and so on, but like I said I'm feeling confident that I can try the basics on my skin probably without blow outs. So yeah thanks
Great video!
This bannana demo is fantastic! I cant wait to try this!
Thanks for the chance in your giveaway! Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge!!
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback and support Dude! I appreciate you.
Another excellent vídeo🤘🏻
Thank you bro! I appreciate you, your time and continued support.
Thank you as well for always supporting! It means a lot to us!
Thank you so much for all the videos! I've decided to change my career and learning to be a semi-permanent make up artist and your videos have been an amazing help (especially the ones on depth and blowouts). Bananas are great and cheap way of learning the correct depth - I've been doing them for my assignments together with balloons (for pressure control during shading). I still have a lot of practice ahead but looking forward to it. Keep up the great work!
Curious : how are you using the bananas in conjunction with the ballooons? Would love to hear your method, thanks
@@johnwing8234 I mean they are separate exercises. You just blow the balloon and tattoo on the surface trying not to pop it. This one's not about the depth but to teach you to put the same pressure on the needle throughout the swing during shading for nice and even shading - most people tend to press a bit harder at the beginning of the swing and that's when balloon pops, not sure if that makes sense.
Your giving sach a good explanation about needle depth 👍🏻❤️
Great video very informative I'm having an issue with I guess only hitting the epidermis at some spots and I cannot visually tell until I have to touch up the tattoo because it fell out do you have any advice on how to tell
Nice in depth video.
Hope to win the surprises!!
Great tutorial thank you❤️💯
You're welcome! Thank you as well for taking the time to leave me feedback. I appreciate you, your time and your support.
This is amazing
Thank you for doing this video!

Hey 😊 Tha k you so much for all your videos, they help me a lot! I've got a question: some artists saying you'll feel it when you hit the right depth. How does that feel on the machine? And why doesn't I get any ink unte my skin? I'm using a 3rl with 6,5 v and 4,2 stroke. After pulling a line and swiping over, there's no ink inside the skin. What am I doing wrong? 😐
THANKS!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching.
Thank you
Can you do a video with mags
Bro.. What needle is best for filling and lining
When shading & doing black and grey, are you still trying to get the same depth? Or are you staying out on the epidermis in some spots so it fades or lightens up?
Great demo how to do it
Thank you for the kind feedback and support!
I appreciate you.
Could you a explain shading or packing in color like this in terms of depth going into the skin
That is a great idea! I can make a video explaining more about this.
I recently made a couple of videos of me testing out tattooing with red tattoo ink and rose designs. I will link them for you below. Stay with me as I being a full in depth video on how I go about shading and packing color.

@@DanielYuck for sure man i thank you for taking your time on your videos they’re really helpful 👍🏼
This is better than most apprenticeships! 🤣
Just got a wormhole wtk086 bro it is actually pretty good bro but one thing I’m wondering is why does the ink not stay? On the fake skin n also it’s element nighthawk black
Thats awesome! I am excited for you!
What fake skin are you using? It could be a number of things. It is a bit hard to say because I can not see your work. You can send me an email of your image so I can elaborate more for you to info@danielyuck.com
Some common reasons could be hand speed and voltage, others can be the sake skin type, needle depth, it is almost impossible to answer accurately.
what is Usual Voltage for lining and for Shading????
Done watching 🔥
How do you know or how can you find out how thick the skin is in each area? Because it does vary...
Hey Daniel thank You so much for This Video but i have a question , is this Same Processing when You shading ? Sorry for that but iam learning 😅 so when i shading i always hast to try hitting the dermis i mean shading be really scratchy 😅😅😅 i Hope you know what i mean
sir,,,what is the needle debth and pressure? it is said that its all abt pressure of the machine and needle onto the skin,,then if i increas ethe pressure for darkness bviousely the needle debth is increased more than the required debth...then how? whats the difference between needle debth and pressure?
when blowing out skin do you still hear the sizzle or breaking of the skin?
Is it a thing to have your needle depth out perfectly, say 1.6-1.75ish mm and you can somewhat almost lightly drag the cartridge against the skin?
Or that just not a very sanitary way of doing it?
By the way... this is an amazing helpful video. Your awesome dude
Danke!
You're welcome!

Wish you would have talked about sound and vibration when hitting the dermis. Other wise great Job thx for all you do
He did in an earlier video about needle depth :)
Thank you for the feedback and support!
I appreciate you.
I made a video a bit ago on how to find the dermis in which I will link for you below. I do touch base more about finding the dermis and how I go about doing so in this video. Should you have any questions at all don't hesitate to let me know.

@@biroka96 Thank you so much! I appreciate your response.
I think my hawkink cartridges may be pushing the needle out a bit too far. Is there a fix for that or will I have to just buy new ones? Thank you sm! Your videos are extremely useful for me i practice one of your designs everyday I've started having to repeat some.
Thank you for the kind feedback and support!
I appreciate you.
I think it would vary and depend on the performance you're getting when hanging your needle out.
Are you getting any needle wobbles?
@@DanielYuck not any more wobbles than when I was working with the tubes and needles on my rotary, but when I tattoo on human skin it hurts more and seems to be a lot more irritated. And of course! Your videos have been immensely helpful in my journey.
Whst happen if I hit the skin epidemis first time , demise second time 🤔🙏 ?
Had my first attempt using a tattoo machine on fake skin yesterday. I suck 😅🫠 but I’ll keep practicing
I remember my first time tattooing fake skin. It was not a good experience and I did very very bad. We all start somewhere. Just keep pushing and learning and you'll be rewarded.
Banana demo was phenomenal. Just started on May 29th thanks for all the info and Content!! #DanielYuck
What would be the depth for fingers i have pretty skinny fingers
Thats a tricky question to answer! I would say there is no 1 number depth as everyone is going to be different. Some may have smaller hands which may have thinner skin on the fingers, some have larger hands which may result in thicker skin.
I recently made a video sharing how I go about tattooing fingers. I will link it for you below.

Taking one for the team and doing a self blow out just to be a good teacher!! Next level video thank you #DanielYuck
so the depth for the skin is 1.5 or 2.0mm ?
I think my comment got spam filtered bc I was trying to link an image, but I wanted to ask if the 1.5mm average everyone mentions is the start of the dermis, the center, or the end of the dermis? Since it's a layer with depth, I wasn't sure :o
Since every skin is not the same, the depth of the dermis can be 1.5-2mm, but in some areas where the skin is thinner it might not even be that deep, you can know it when the needle breaks the skin by the sound it makes
Ahhh I apologize about that! I would say @PsykotikTattoo is accurate.
I would say going about 1.5mm-2mm from the top of the skin is how I look at it. Everyone is different and every spot has a different depth. I would recommend to invest into some fake skins to get comfortable with the idea of finding the dermis.
I also made a full in depth video on how to go about finding the dermis and I will link that to you below.
Finding The Dermis
ua-cam.com/video/Iu22AUUnppM/v-deo.html
Should you have any questions drop a comment.
I've watched a few different videos about needle depth that I'm not going to name but they always just say "Hey, hit the dermis" as a summing up of the video... they don't actually explain how deep that may be in relation to things we might already know like coins and bananas
This video was great because it related it to real world objects that pretty much EVERYONE has handled at some point. Instead of just saying "Hit about 1.5 to 2mm below the skin on average but it varies where you go
So if you're going a little deep,then lines are bleeding off and on Right????
So I have a question sometimes my lines are skinny & sometimes there thick does the skinny lines happen from me not going deep enough? & in your opinion what’s the best needle for smaller line tattoos?
Ahh for me when I have experienced fluctuations in my lines it would typically be because my needle depth varied on that line. Keep in mind there can be other reasons why the line is not consistent but typically it can be caused by the inconsistency. The deeper the needle goes the thicker the line will be, the lighter we go the thinner the line is and remains "truer" to the configuration.
For me personally I haven't really come across a smaller needle I don't like. I would say Quelle Needles, CNC Police are some that come to mind.

How small of a needle are we talking tho?
Nothing to small just enough to do hand tattoos & smaller also what sizes do you use like my base right now I’m using 1205RL from padieoe
@@DanielYuck oh also I forgot to mention I hang out my needle I don’t like riding the tube or not seeing where I’m going with my lines
I appreciate the time u take to make these videos. I love this demonstration and I have learned a lot. Thank you. #danielyuck
the banana is actually a perfect representation as the dermis is between 1 - 4mm the average banana peel is about 3.6mm.
anything less than 1.5mm and you risk not going deep enough and anything over 3.5mm is potential blowout territory. so on paper if i hung my needles out about 3mm i should be able to use about half (1.5mm) of my needles and still be fine if i accidentally went in deeper.. infact i SHOULD be fine even if i stuck the whole needle in, though this simply is not the case. on paper, blowouts should be nearly impossible, noone sticks their needles out 4mm infact most machines only allow them to go out about 4mm. but i have seen people blowout at 3mm so either medical textbooks are wrong about the depth of the dermis or our understanding of blowouts is wrong (not yours, the INDUSTRYS). because on paper this phenomenon should be VERY difficult to have happen, however it is fairly common.. id like to say as long as ur needle doesn't hit the actual banana once you've peeled the skin away then you should be fine.. but id be wrong. just when you run the numbers most of the fake skins are TOO thin. you should be able to blow out a 1.6mm fake skin without blowing out a 4mm human dermis..
either way, weather the medical books are wrong or tattooists are wrong.. i have found that 3=blowouts (not 4.1) but 3.. i have found that 1mm is not deep enough (even though 1.1mm should technically be) i have found that honestly 2mm seems to be the perfect sweet spot. i like to hang my needle waaay out there though.. i guess around 3mm so if i use the bottom 1.6-2mm i should be good.. if i slip up and go mostly in.. it will end up slightly raised but not blown out.. id have to press it in all the way for it to blow out very badly (atleast i think)..
its just confusing when anything under 3.5-4mm should be safe according to "how deep the dermis is" but for whatever reason its not actually safe. it seems anything over 2.1 is seriously pushing it. around 2.5 is when it seems to start getting into some scarring territory & pushing it way too close to blowout. (i think infact some blowouts occur at 2.5-2.8mm) but i also thing some "scratches" occur at 1.3-1.4mm. 1.6-2.0mm seems to be the sweet spot. which is all weird to me when im reading the dermis is 1mm and goes to 4mm before reaching the sub fat. i know its less in some areas like the eyelids but im talking about arms/legs even.. blowouts occuring at 2.6mm+
i wish we could go by what the anatomy books say because then the banana peel would quite LITERALLY represent the dermis depth. idk, its all confusing to me lol
