Here is a tip for any one who has trouble with putting your stencil on. First you are gonna want to either buy you some stencil stuff, or you can make it. Recipi is green speed stick( melt it in a microwave ), aloe lotion, and rubbing alcohol. Mix all 3 together put it in a pump style bottle. The amounts of the ingredients should be so that it's close to lotion. Now when you are putting your stencil on use enough stencil stuff to moisten the skin, blot away excess. You want the canvas tacky not too saturated. Put your stencil down on the canvas. Now for the best tip to bring out the stencil more effectively, get you a small amount of stencil stuff and reapply it to the back of your stencil and spread onto your stencil. After you lift your stencil you will notice the stencil should be on your canvas 100%. A tip to help you from losing the stencil while tattooing it is start from the bottom and work your way up. Most effective way to keep from losing it is to let it dry for a couple hours on fake skin. And if on real skin use a hair drier to help dry the stencil faster or just have your canvas wait an hr or so. I put my fake skins in front of a fan on high speed to help me dry mine. You cant wipe off the stencil after doing so I guarantee you that. Tell me what y'all think about these tips I too learned along the way.
Impressive drawings and pretty good line work and shading! I started tattooing recently too, and I like your mindset when it comes to the practice sessions.
Just started tattooing myself great video! Wish the stencil would stay a little bit better on the fake skin. Would you be able to share your stencils so I could practice along with you? Appreciate ya brotha
Well, it is definitely different and I also know some Tattoo artists that don't draw that well but It's a really good foundation for sure. To understand light/shadow midtones and composition. Especially if you want to do your own designs. You don't necessarily need to be good at drawing but every tattoo artist should at least understand the basics, I think.
The nearest thing to human skin is pig skin. I've been tattooing for over 47 years and when I did my apprenticeship, I used to tattoo Pig Heads and Pig Shoulders.

That's great insight, thank you! 👌🏻 I'm gonna ask butchers in my area soon.
