And at the end of the day the client is the one that wins cause if we help each other and share info then the client is sure to get a better tattoo. Thanks again for the support Kevin!!! 🤘🤘

    I really appreciate your videos. I've been looking for information like this for days. I came across some people trying to sell classes and a sketchy guy who was tattooing his friend without gloves who also claimed to be some kind of "Professional" and then I saw your video on the side and I was relieved to find a real professional who is genuine and dedicated to the craft by not putting harmful or misleading information out there! I am looking at making a career change and am super excited to learn everything I can about this field.

      Thank you Christina i'm glad these videos are helping you out. And yes be very weary about anyone who is charging you for tattoo school or online tattoo school. This craft needs time to develop so a few week course will not be enough to make you the artist you want to be but will however line the pockets of the person running the course. And I wish you the best of luck as you start your journey in this field. As long as you dont give up then you can do this!! 🤘🤘

    Thank you for this video! It's so clear and easy to understand. I've seen some of your videos, including the one in which you talk about your experience with apprenticeship and self-teaching, and it seems to me that it helped you to truly focus on the information a beginner really needs. I feel that your experience allows you to better understand what people want and need to know and how to explain those things in the best way possible.

    Thank you! I just started practicing tattooing and I knew I was doing something wrong, I just didn't know what. I already tattooed myself 4 times and I couldn't understand why I had to keep going over lines and why it hurt way too much for such little ink (I think I was just cutting the skin instead of actually tattooing because that's exactly what it feels like). Definitely going to have to follow this advice.

    Short and sweet, nice. Best part was the close up of your needle throw at the end, and a couple of examples of you laying ink down on skin. I'm currently researching machine work and about to take the step up from Stick n Poke. Your videos are good dude, glad I've found a new content maker that's exactly the sort of advice and videos etc I was looking for :)
    The close up is the best part for me, there's a lot of videos on YT (as you know.. lol!) but seeing the needle close up at work next to the skin puts it all into context.
    I love that you did 3 lines in a row to see the difference! I'm not saying you should maybe volunteer your skin, but personally I'd be interested in seeing the different needle groupings at work for different things. So a close up of a 9 mag versus a bugpin versus a 5 Flat Shader, to see the overall line/shape each make!
    Following and subscribed, and good luck with your channel! I'll be in for the ride :)

      Thanks for the kind words Haydeez. 👍 and your support! I was in your shoes before, so I now that people trying to learn NEED that up close look at the needles and skin. With that being said I wont stop bringing you guys the best shots I can get. And yes there will be much more close up tattoo shots to come. But along the way I want to educate people on varies aspects of tattooing and what goes into it. And thank you for that video idea about the different needle configurations and how they go into the skin. I don't know exactly when that video will be coming out but eventually it will. Thanks again Haydeez for the support!! Don't forget to enjoy the journey! 🤘

So, instead of diving right in I said I'd go away and read up, watch some videos and do lots of research, and then when all this coronavirus lockdown is over then I can hook up with them and get their machines and start practicing :)

      @@ArtSomething I think you'd like Stick n Poke, it's quite relaxing doing single-point dot work, and the pain is miniscule next to a machine, although it can be quite time consuming - Definitely give it a go though, there's hardly any decent Stick n Poke videos on YT, in fact - there are no good ones, I was thinking about making one myself!
      This lockdown is certainly giving me a chance to get some learning in, no point rushing and I'm learning a lot of things you miss as a customer, the nitty gritty! And that's the parts that make an artist over a client I guess!

    Really appreciate your content. I apprenticed for a time in my early twenties, but the shop changed hands and I was cut loose before I really got started. Bunch of grunt work for nothing in the end (though I did enjoy hanging out at the shop). I’m now a barber by trade but have been messing around on practice skin with a rotary (apprenticed when people were still die hard about coils.. meant lots of tube scrubbing on my end!) so your content is very helpful, considering it’s generally in reference to rotary machines. Cheers

    Hey Dave, thanks a TON for your videos. I recently did my first tattoo on a friend who kept nudging me, and there is really so much to learn there, but your advice helps a TON.
    For instance, I researched and found that Lines should be done with 12-13Volt and some areas on that first tattoo look a little scarred and as if there is "too much ink" in. Now hearing that you start at 8 comes as a bit of a surprise for me, but it does make sense, slow movements, less volts and the skin will get less trauma...I am using a cheyenne hawk thunder rotary and found the 12-13volt in their forums...I would love to have another video where you go over the specifics and some tips for lining, what to do when you need to go over another time, how to make lines thicker in some parts, how to fill black areas with a shader?
    And another interesting thing happened on that first one, it was a very difficult spot to tattoo, not really places to rest my hand and it was very difficult to come in at the right angle, do you have certain techniques how you rest your hands and how to make sure you hit that 45 degree, even in difficult spots?

  • @sarahjohnson6180

    You are by far the best tattoo artist I have ever seen! Not necessarily because of your art, even though that is amazing, but your knowledge is impeccable!!! Anyone can trace a picture to create a stencil... but knowing the correct ways of tattooing is a different story completely! I wish more tattoo artist would watch your videos so they might learn something and stop causing so much pain for individuals! Or creating such crappy looking tattoos! I will be watching all your videos! I do know ALOT about tattooing but, it's never a bad thing to learn more!! KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL WORK! I honestly look forward to seeing more!!
    quick question... might be silly, but no question is a dumb question, unless it's truly a dumb ass question lol!
    When putting your needle in your machine do you want the needle grouping on the top of the base of the needle or the needle grouping on the bottom?....
    I would greatly appreciate your input!
    Sincerely,
    Sarah

  • @csteingraber
    @csteingraber 3 года назад

    I came up with an idea just now! Would plucking a hair be a potential and clear way, especially for beginners, to sample dermis depth!? Assuming you get the whole root end of course. It could even be held near needle to visualize. It might seem weird on a client but at least on oneself it seems to me it could be a valuable and exact local and only way to have that accurate depth measurement to learn. There’s enough at stake I think to make it worth doing even though it might seem weird. There’s a lot of vagueness to this critical aspect and here is a way to have real data that could inspire confidence and provide defensible measurements. Just my two cents. Thanks for all the amazing videos!
    And adding angle for needles to enter is an amazing advice never would have thought of that but makes sense that the horizontal component of that needle force is easier for the skin to resist. Someone else’s video did say to keep upright for lines Or that at least it would affect how clean it looks or points meeting because of course the line is more to the side below and different on top where you see it but if both your and his advice were followed it’s possible by mostly trying to create angle in line with the line such as leaning so needles are leaning but both top and deep parts are within the line. I know you have to move and can’t adhere to that perfectly but wondering your thoughts on if these are both ideas worth testing further.
