✅How to BLEND COLORS WITH A MAG NEEDLE 💥 FOR BEGINNERS 💥
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In Todays Tattoo tutorial we will be going over How to blend colors with a mag needle for beginners. We will be using the CNC Q2 machine with a 23 curved bugpin mag with my machine running at 7.5 volts. I will start with red and pack the color then push that color down lightly towards the next color. I will then repeat the process using orange and finish up with yellow. This is a quick, basic color blend, you can spend more time and make a really smooth blend or whatever you desire. Color is not my specialty but I know a lot of you had questions about this so I wanted to do my best to help those of you looking to get into color work.
Hope you all enjoyed the video and if you did give it up a thumbs up and consider subscribing!!

You are nuts men, I mean, tattooing your own leg just to teach us how is made it's just simply amazing. Thank you so much for giving us this information; this video shows how dedicated you're to giving us the information and I personally appreciate it a lot man, tons of respect.
Thank you very much Brandon! 👍 It’s no problem for me as the top of my legs is where I learned to tattoo. So many cool memories. It’s great to add another one 🤘🤘 and Thank you again Brandon for your support it’s much appreciated!
@@ArtSomething No Dave seriously thank you so much for giving us this content. I'm learning how to tattoo and I have learned a lot watching your videos. Recently I've been having some issues dealing with the voltage because I can't find the right balance between my hand speed and my voltage (I'm cutting the fake skin I'm practicing on) I would really appreciate if you can give some tips on that. As I said mad respect on you Dave thank you so much for all this information
It's called dedication!
It's called real artists
A real example 🙏🏽 dude uses his leg as a demo instant sub 🙌🏽 thanks man!
Great for basics, one suggestion i have is to change the direction and angle of the pass with each color. Over time the blend will appear smoother than passing at the same angle
This makes so much sense. 🤦♂️
As someone who doesn't have any tattoos, I find them amazing and really admire the craft and talent that goes into creating them. To all the artists out there, I salute you. Maybe one day I'll have a piece of my own.
You sacrafice your leg for the sake of this video😀man, thanks, it was very informative and helpful. 👌👌👌
No problem Vadim thats what the top of my legs are for LOL. And for each video like this I get a cool memory!! Glad you enjoyed the vdieo and thank you for the support brother!! 🤘🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething I like doing light to dark on fading colors. I find it easier. Just my 2 cents
every learning tattoo artist is guaranteed to sacrifice at least a portion of real estate on their leg you will tattoo yourself before you will ever tattoo a customer professionally
Ive drawn and painted my whole life, but I recently decided I want to tattoo I was discouraged a long time ago when i first decided I wanted to learn to tattoo (to many negative people around and I cut them from my life) but this channel has helped me progress so much, I’m very grateful to artists like you that are willing to show us on yourself , you’re a true teacher thank you
I've been tattooing for 2 years now and your lessons really help me a lot, I just want to thank you man
Iv just started doing tattoos and skiped the fake skin an started on my self thus far iv only done outline stuff iv tried to find videos on how to do this kinda and the biggest part is people just talking about to do it. This just helped me out alot hell yea dude great content
at the end of each video i tell myself, this is the last for today, then i see something interesting popping in your next videos, i say ok, only this one .. till i find myself spending HOURS of fruitful fun, watching you..
Well thank you so much I really appreciate that🙏. And I’m very happy to know that the channel and videos are helping you out while keeping you entertained as well🤘🤘
A TOTAL GODSEND ! THANKS SM MAN
No problem my friend. Glad the video and channel can help you out.🙏🤘
I love how you leg is like your tattoo sketchbook
Yes it truly is and it continues to this day lol
Just want to say you’re a cool cat! And your videos are very helpful. I just got my first tattoo kit 3 days ago and you’ve taught me a lot so far.
You look like Adam Calhoun. Very helpful videos by the way thanks
No problem Sleaz ink glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the support!! 🤘🤘
Love you're content! Teaches me alot! Could you make a video with recommendations for brands of equipment and cartridges?
Another valuable video!!! Love how you keep everything so simple. I find patience is the game changer in packing, blending, etc. Keep it up, brother!!
Thank you so much Therapeutic, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! 🤘🤘 And your so right as patience is the key to packing/blending or anything involving the saturation of color. Thanks again Therepeutic i appreciate the support and Keep ROcking!! 🤘🤘
Great video now I'm knowing of blending never tried that but thanks to you I'm going to not b such a novice lol
Thanks Roman Im glad you enjoyed it. And yeah trying new things is part of the fun so I hope you try some color bending when you have an opportunity. 🤘🤘🤘 Again thanks for the support!!
Thank you for the tips. 👍🏽 I appreciate the information.
No problem Juan I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! And I appreciate the support!! 🤘🤘
As usual bud, great tutorial thank you.
On another note, I recently tried my first ever tat on myself (place i chose to do it was awkward "outer forearm") but overall I'm happy with it.
That being said I plan on touching it up and doing shading to it but would like to share it with you and perhaps get some feedback/constructive criticism.
No problem Eric im glad you enjoyed it man!!
Yeah the outer forarm can be a tricky place to tattoo yourself. And yeah man feel free to send a pic of it to my IG account @daveinks.88
I actually set up an IG account just for you lol
Feel special hahaha 😆
Pics sent man and thank you in advance
eric rockwood that’s awesome Eric I appreciate that brother!! 🤘🤘
Holy crap !!!
Eddie Van Hallen died !!
I am still a newbie, I am doing a lot of self learning by watching almost all of your videos, i would like to ask what are your advice regarding of how you should take care your new tattoo?
I will have to do a vid about that some time soon. As explaining it in a message would be kinda tricky.
@@ArtSomething thankyou so much, I've been surfing the web for the past 3 weeks trying to find a perfect and safe aftercare for my future clients. Your videos helps me a lot. Thankyou so much, take care and God bless!
Your a savage, Im not big on clicking the thumbs up, commenting and subscribing but you earned that.
Thankyou I learned alot ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks I love the video much love an respect fam...this video helped me out a lot with color work thanks a million
Thank you soo much Jose really appreciate that man!! And im glad the video was able to help you out!!
Keep ROcking!!! 🤘🤘
Your a kool azz dude,
I'm new and practice on my legs,. THANKS MUCH!
Super helpful. I’m practice on my moms leg tomorrow - 🙂
I love your work and it helps me learn a lot, thank you.
Please make detailed pepper/stipple shading techniques on the skin for beginners like me.
Love from India ❤️
Thank you so much and I will look into making a vid like that. 👍👍🤘
Thanks for sacrificing abit of yaself for the Tube ,Good man keep it up PEACE
LOL thanks Conway im happy to have given a little to help a little!! Keep Rocking brother!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love the videos you post. Great work and great teaching skills. Can you please post an in depth video on how to do water color tattoos next. Keep up the great work!!!
Nice it does help thanks
I love how you have random lines and fades and shit on that one leg. I hope you can do something with all of that some day. That would be cool
Dude you rock. Thanks man.
Curious, what was the stroke you were using? 3.5 3.0? Higher? Lower?
Patience is the key
Your very very right about that Ricardo!🤘🤘🤘
This video deserve all it views, too much value on just one video.
Thank you Lennon, I really do appreciate that and thank you for the awesome support!! 🤘🤘🤘
You can also achieve the same blend with just red and yellow without rinsing your tip 😛 but great video man
Yeah thats a great point Jay, and that would truly be blending colors as well.
Thanks for sharing that much appreciated!! 🤘🤘
It would also make the yellow too orange coloured to use the yellow, so maybe have a tiny ink cap for the blending yellow, and a tiny one for the yellow
Thank you for this video man truly appreciate it
Excellent video you are a great help as always.. I did a little bit of blending on the skin I send you haha
Thanks Tommy really appreciate that man!! And I Look forward to seeing it man!! 🤘🤘🤘
Art-Something it was a few weeks ago you might have have it already haha the knife with a pumpkin
Hey man! Any chance you can do a video explaining when and where to apply white highlights? I have a basic idea but I’m curious if you can go over colour with them or if it’s better just to leave space for them. Also just where to apply them
That yellow seems so much more vibrant than the orange. Is there a reason for that? Is it different company inks?
how long does that battery last
I have two of them and i have never had to change them out during a tattoo. Even tattoos that last 7 plus hours. And they charge pretty quickly as well.
you are amazing, thank you for this. this is very amazing and i feel like ive learned a lot. i really want to practice tattooing more and i want to make a colour gradient in one of my tattoos. it's a small heart i did on myself a long time ago and i want to fill it in and eventually go over and adjust the border
i also have another question. what if you wanted or ever had to colour and colour-blend the stick and poke way? how would you go about that?
Out of interest what gauge needles did you use and were they medium or long taper? Thank you for this awesome video! I’m 8 months into my tattooing career and I’m completely obsessed with learning as much as I can!!
this dude sacrificed room he could of used for a tattoo respect
i was hoping you were gonna make a new color blending video, thank you!
can u recommend a good white ink that will actually show up on my existing black tattoo?
Great video man! I feel like I’m finally getting to the level where I’m gonna slap a little banger on my leg this weekend #onlineapprentice
That’s awesome to hear Tosh!! I wish you the best of luck my friend! Stay positive and keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘
Love this. What kinda gun are you using?
Great great great videos awesome learn a lot the CNCQ2 is a good machine thank you.. How do you use a grey wash technique in tattoos? Can you do a how to use grey wash in any tattoo?
Can you get like a blush done to the cheeks with a tattoo artist?
I am not sure. If that is something your interested in you may want to ask a Permanent makeup tattoo artist as thats what they do.
Hello bro wich stroke is better for shading I'm beginner thanks
Your red is awesome..wanna know the colors you work with???!! Thanks and thumbs up 👍
Thanks! The brand of color I use is eternal 🤘
@@ArtSomething 💖😁 Thank you so much, ask a lot of Artists, but they never told me that secret..
question! could you just use yellow first and blend your inks together or is there a reason you do it the way you do :)
I have coil tattoo guns. When setting them up with needle/tips, do you have it so the exposed part of the tip facing outwards? Or towards the gun? I hope that made sense
My personal problem is when i make shading and color packing the skin is become red and after healing process i see the real results .How about you Dave ?
Yes the skin will become red and I think thats why its best to try to get it packed with a pass or two because if it gets to red you will have a problem seeing the saturation. However once you have done enough color tattoos and seen them healed you will start to really know when the color is saturated properly and when its not. I hope some of this makes sense.
Absolutely every info is useful thanks man !
What kind of needles do you use Dave or recommend using as for shading brands and liner brands?
I like kwadron needles but there are so many great brands out there that I think its important to try a few brands and see how you like them.
How are you getting such a good pack with moving the circles so large? Do bigger needles allow for bigger circles? I still go with super tight small circles for packing no matter needle grouping.
Hand speed
What stroke is your machine set to while shading this way
the CNC Q2 has a 4mm fixed stroke length.
check it out ,,I live in Wilmington,Cali. If by some chance were close¿I got 3 1/4 of my back,2/3rd both legs ,both sides ready to be

realy self sacrifice.i also taztoed my leg as first tattoo but unfortunatly one guy said 3mm in skin so i screamed 3 hours
You're fucking nuts...I love it! loool
Assuming I'm the only one that my mentor made me use my legs to learn lol
Do you do
What is your Instagram dude ?
@daveinks.88
I'm not sure that red is realy blended bro
Yo I ain't try'n to funny or nothing..for this channel is very cool..But I don't get why he did a random color blend in an open space instead of filling in the (uncolored tattoos) he already has?!?🤔🤔
Practice skin
Next week I will be showing the same thing only with Fake skin for those who want to practice this on fake skin before giving it a go on real skin.
Why wouldn’t you just color the damn flower that’s already tattooed on your leg???
It kind of looks like a pencil ✏️ 🤣
HAHA yeah I cant disagree with that lol!!
This is absolutely not how mine turned out 😂 fml
Just wanted to say thanks man, started watching your videos and decided to stop doing a job I hate and give tattooing because it's always been a dream, just finished my 2nd week as an apprentice 😊🤘🏻
Wow that’s awesome!! Congrats to you and your apprenticeship!! Your on the right path and chasing a dream!! Keep at it and keep rocking!! 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you very much for what you're doing Dave. Yours is one of the best yt channels out there for people who want to learn how to tattoo. The videos are always very informative and you go straitgh to the point. Keep it up!
Wow thank you sooo much Calia!! I really appreciate the kind words and im really happy to hear your enjoying the vids!! Cause I enjoy making them and I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!! 🤘🤘🙏🤘🤘
Thank you for taking one the team, sacrificing your leg.
And thank you for serving and protecting our country.
We appreciate you.
No problem Slinger and thank you for the support brother!!! 🤘🤘🙏🤘🤘
Thanks for the lesson my dude. My apprenticeship never taught me color blending. Now as a full time artist I'm playing catch up.
Same here man
Dave! Whaddup lol. I had been wanting to look up some videos on blending color. And then BAM, you drop a vid on it lol. Always coming clutch brotha! Lol
Thats awesome to Kaiden!! Really glad to know the vid came out at the right time for you!! 👍👍 Glad you enjoyed the vid brother and Keep Rocking!!🤘🤘
You have no idea how helpful your videos are to me as a beginner! You're awesome, thank you so much for this!😁✨
Great!! Ive been having little problem blending and pack color men!!
Glad to hear the vid is helping you out Jose!! Keep at it and Keep Rocking Brother!! 🤘🤘
Same and it's really been making me feel like crap about my artwork lol . This is awesome I really appreciate this video
@@zoegregory7922 No problem im glad to hear its helping you out!! 🤘🤘
If you're wanting a more gradual color blending you can also mix inks and have a reddish orange and a yellowish orange in between. Hell, I've used 2-3 tones in between. Similar to grey wash, the more gradual you want it, the more shades you'll want to use. Mixing color is a whole other thing though. and to everyone who thinks hes crazy tattooing his own leg, I've been doing sessions on my leg ranging from 10-15 min to a couple hours for the past 18 years. It's very important to know how it's gonna feel on yourself before someone else. I never use a new machine on a client before testing on myself. Tattoo artists legs are the original practice skin. ;)
Dude i tatted my own leg the other day. I was like fuck it! dave takes it for the team... so can i. So i decided to do the same! Trying to reach a life goal of being a tattooist. And your videos are a stepping stone to that goal. Much respect!!! Keep the videos coming!... P.S the way you say the product ..Ink Eeze. Is that how its suppose to be said. I see the name and tend to say ...INK ( EASY).. Maybe im wrong. I dont know! Lol.
I’ve been tattooing 13 years I tell my apprentices I started out tattooing myself you really want to get good tattoo yourself it’s amazing that you’re teaching this on UA-cam I’m going to subscribe🤙🏽 and if you’re ever in Jacksonville Florida and need a spot to work check me out 💯🤙🏽
When the two colours meet are you sort of whip shading or are you just doing faster circles also is it a lighter hand pressure to prevent damage when they meet ? Im new to colour mainly do black and grey so when I tried this where the two colours meet it seems choppy instead of a smooth transition any advice ? Maybe because it was on fake skin also which I know is harder than real skin.
I just recently started tattooing and your videos are helping so much I also started to practice on my leg after I felt good about it on fake skin, love the videos man thank you!
Thanks for the tip bro!!! Keep killing it man. I really do appreciate the time you and yours take out of y'alls day to make these videos. Whether you know it or not you're providing a valuable service to the tattoo pros and the up and comers kicking it at home like myself learning the craft. Keep it up Homie!!!! -DC-
Usually when I blend colors, I rock my hand in a pendulum type motion. I’m gonna try this!
Your videos are great
thank you for sharing idols i'm always watshing you bless you
I problem and thank you so much for your support!! 🤘🙏🤘

thanks for this videoooo cheif
No problem Chris thanks for watching I appreciate the support!! 🤘🤘
Dude you’re a gangster, color blending that sexy pastey white thigh for a video to inform and show us your ways on saturation, bravo homie that’s badass.
This man has taught me everything I know. I've had a tattoo gun for a week and already done 6 tattoos I'm proud of. Thank you sir! I don't watch anyone else. I've tried but his ways just make sense. I dig his techniques
THank you for all the support Verum and Im happy to hear the channel is helping you out. 🤘🙏
@@ArtSomething dude you're doing wonders by sacrificing your skin for us. Fake skin just isn't the same. But with all your tips and all your tricks you speak of I have applied them and improved in days! I'm coming up on 2 weeks of doing tattoos every day on my self and roommates. I won't stop learning and watching your videos! I'm here forever! Thank you buddy!
if youre gonna call it a tattoo gun just quit rn, its a tattoo machine bozo
@@xt0net0nex66I mean it sounds like he’s tattooing out his house/dorm so yea probably not the best idea
@@beasttaergaming6245 true that lmao
Man your great I have learned so much from you I wish there was a way I could possibly get your feed back on some of my work
Nice. 👍
Thanks I needed the speed voltage that yellow very pretty😍any uv tattoo videos?
I have been looking into the UV tattoo stuff. And I have a client that wants a UV tattoo. So in the coming future there may be a video about that. And THank you for the support!🤘🤘
Maybe plan an actual image for your practice swatches... for example.. you could have planned a rainbow or whatever you like... that way, you have a reason to do fade transitions in that spot....
Your dope for this bro!!!!
Thank you my friend I appreciate that🤘🤘
Salute!
Thank you Dina!! Salute back at you!! 🤘🤘
I find it extremely hard to pack yellows. I'm not sure what it is it. It might be the brand of ink?
It could be the brand. I like to use eternal for my color.
GREAT INFORMATION SHARING 👌👍🙏
Thank you Gattoo!! 👍 and thanks for watching 🤘🤘
U give such good tips n I love it man I barley started to tat now n all the tips really help a lot keep the vids coming my dude!!
Thank you Juicy!! Really appreciate that and im glad your enjoying the vids! And no problem I will certainly keep making vids!!
Huh I would of thought the voltage would be how youd fade...lower voltage for a lighter color turning it up gradually for heavier color...
mate, why didn,t u colour in the flower?
Good question I thought about it but just didn’t feel like packing color into it as I may do that flower in black and gray.
Hey bud ..I did my first portrait..can I send it to u on Instagram to take a look pls
Yeah man send it my way. And congrats on your first Portrait brother!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
