Just starting out in tattooing (at the ripe old age of 50 something) and this is fantastic information guys!
Liked, subbed and loving the content! Cheers 🍻
They explaind everything,thank you for that guys,nice room,cao.
Tapers were a big game changer for me. Lol I’m with the long hair guy, at the moment. Straight mags and med tapers. ;)
Perfect fect video. Thank you 👍
Love a 15 long taper mag I use that and 3rl bugpin and I swear I'm good to go I can do a portrait my mentor would do a whole portrait with just a 15mag he'd turn it on its side and do the hair and eye details and I've also seen him do a color portrait with just a 3rl aswell it blows my mind I'm not at that level but I still have my needle jig I remember sawdering needles and when I discovered a hallow liners I thought I found the best bold lining needle lmao I thought I was doing next level shit
Wish I could show my tattoo I just got, day 1 fresh, Frankenstein all black portrait underneath on my wrist. Going back got the bolts, shocks, some cloud/mist as background and I for sure want color now the more I look at it. Some green brown mix looking zombie color. But I’m from the US and this tattoo was the one with the most needles on any on my body was this one for the hair and eye area…being 18 that hurt. And the single near the middle of my wrist but I knew to stay still and that was going to be a rough spot. Love it all and there boss was on the show on Spike TV called Ink Masters. It’s about the artist then the off time drama and he didn’t want that just the tattooing and walked off. Great shop and can’t believe how calm everyone was
Very informative !
Glad you think so!
You guys are funny as hell! Great video
Appreciate it!!
very helpful video. Thanks
Good video lads 👍 when using straight mags though I feel like they cause more trauma to the skin than curved mags, the tattoo seems to stay red for days. Is this common?
I was taught that 10's were bugpins and 8's "extra tight" in my apprenticeship. I personally prefer bugpin liners and curved mags for black and grey realism, medium taper curved mags for color work.
Ahhh thats where me and Paul got confused cause I used to use the 00 needles or the ones a step down from the standard and they were 10 gauge, it was about 8-9 years ago mind lol. I used to use bugpin liners but not so much these days
@@ThatTattooShow what kind do you use to line nowadays?
I enjoy the show. You seem like good dudes.
Thank you.
When would you use an eight gauge needle?
- You wouldn’t.
hahah fuckin’ legend!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Nice one gents! Loved this and passed it on to my apprentice 🙏 You reckon anybody would be keen on half curved mags? Would love to have the blend ability of curveds with the right hand edge straight for cutting in 🔥
Thanks man, ahh ive often thought about this during my career, but then I think wouldn’t you need to have left and right handed needless?
It comes in pints and Gandalf all the lotr references hahah I’m a Tolkien book reader love it more Tolkien references in future vids 👌👌
Oh cool!
What result we get by shading with BUGPIN magnum needle. What result we get while we shading with .30 magnum needle & what result we get by shading with .35 magnum needle.
Are the needle sizes standardized across brands? Paintbrushes aren't. Like if you take a Royal and Langenickel Round 4 and compare it to a Raphael Round 4, they are definitely not the same size brush. I was wondering if it's the same with the tattoo needles.
You guys are hilarious! 🤣
Thanks 🤘🤘
I'm from the US and I feel like we changed shit that didn't need fixing like we got our independence and said ya well measuring this way has worked for so long but let's just do our own thing lol metric makes so much more sense
Haha, “go on, carry on”
How do tapers effect line work? There's a lad on instagram who makes beautiful lines and says the long taper is best to get the ink into the skin effortlessly. Makes sense? You boys are nailin the banter btw 🤣
It really depends on the artists preference / technique / style
@@ThatTattooShow yeah but a hammer's still a hammer, no? 😉 The long taper will generally behave a certain way whereby it makes smaller punctures (and a slower ink flow, perhaps?). No worries sure, thanks for gettin back
For solid black lines better to Use like 7RL 0.25 or 0.30 or maybe 0.35 ? Im confused
All gauges will deliver solid black lines but each gauge will be slightly thicker. So for BOLD, solid lines 7RL .35. But for FINE solid lines 7RL .25. Make sense? p
I bought big needles for blackout but bought by mistake some 39flat instead of 39M1, do you think it could work or is it useless to pack black?
Flat as in only one row? If yes then I wouldn’t recommend them for blacking out. Honestly never used flats in my career (chris)
You can do it but you will have to go mach slower to not injur the skin
Tah ooo show
Hey guys I bought some 14 tights by accident I am waiting for them to come in . I am used to the normal ones. Would the difference be really noticeable. Between the tight and a normal 14
Thanks yah old farts ❤️
Don’t worry kid, you’ll get here! 🙏👍
New sub here you guys are funny and informative
Thank you :)
😫
Americans like to be unique 🤣 (PS, I am American haha) I know, the measuring thing is just weird.
Two Confused Aatma😅
In the 1800s
Textured needles are like textured or ribbed condoms 🙄
when you realise a 3RL is a 3Mg...
The 1800's🤣🤣🤣🤣
British accent for non native speakers :( … but thank you
Not sure what you mean there but If you are Welsh it’s a Welsh accent, English is an English accent and Scottish is a Scottish accent. There’s literally no such thing as a “British accent” :)
Tah ooo show
