- The question is AM I A SCRATCHER???
In todays video I will be letting you know my current situation and what is to come for me and my business!! 🤘 I hate the word scratcher as it's a derogatory word for a person who doesn't tattoo out of a professional shop. "Scratchers" come in all different forms, from those who see this as a hobby and those who are trying to make this a profession for themselves. We will also be packing up the old shop and moving to our NEW and improved location where I can now start the process of getting my shop licensed!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I thank all of you for all your support and kind words. I wish all of you the best on your journey and Keep ROCKING!!!!!
Hope you all enjoyed the video and if you did give it up a thumbs up and consider subscribing!!
I like to remind people that In no way am I a fantastic tattoo artist guys. I just love tattooing but I am still on my journey and want to show you how its done so you can do it and do it better then me!! 🤘
So don't give up if you want it bad enough its yours for the taking!

I'm a new subscriber and a scratcher" from Missouri also. I've been tattooing for 10 years but with a full time constriction 40 hr job. Finaly been making time to do tattoos on people I know also. And past 2 years Finaly got to a point i do one to 4 tattoos a week so I got like 3 years combined. And I can't quit my full time job so unable to do an apprentiship at this time its my goal for 2020. To be legal in what I love to do and have loyal clients who only want my art. So I just stuck in between my job and tattoos on weekends. Or some evenings. And I do want just a little shop to call my own and just continue to do ink with meaning" I'm mobile also and some clients enjoy the privacy of their homes and its nice to socialize with friends and family. Your videos have helped me already and only seem a hand full this week. Every dime I make I invest into my equipment. And got a nice set up all ordered from Amazon. I just want to do what I love and learn more and not get in trouble at same time. Thank you and ill be in touch brother of art👊👍 if like you to look at some of my ink work and be a critic and honest opinion tks again
Can you please do a video going over how to legalize yourself as a tattoo artist? Such as what paperwork to fill out and who to send it to and such? I love tattooing but I don't want fined out the ass for it. Thank you in advance.
You are a good man teaching others for free. I’ve been tattooing for the last 8 years but with this economy almost everyone can’t afford a apprenticeship without pay I tried it for 6 weeks and got let go due to my full time job and couldn’t devote full weekends but some day I’ll get to do this full time
Keep at it brother the road is hard but I think/hope is worth it in the end!! Keep the dream alive brother and Keep Rocking!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thats coming with time I just started the process and there are a lot of moving parts. I am currently working with the EPA , I have my LLC and Insurance, I have all my basic stuff like CPR, BBP, First Aid. Once the EPA finishes there stuff I can get back to working with the health department to finalize things. SO its a little bit of a process and I will be sharing that as it develops. I will do an update video in a couple weeks as far as the legal goes. Hope this helps for now. And remember each state can be different this is just my state. Thanks for watching🤘🤘
This is true "apprenticeship"; learning from you the true things of tattoo. You're not afraid to share your knowledge. You're not jealous that someone can take your lessons and take them to the next level. It's people like you who give people like me hope. Thank you for being true to the art!
WOW Max thank you soooo much for that Brother!!!! 🤘🙏🤘 Really do appreciate that support!! And yeah I hope people can find a way through tattooing and have a chance to make art into a living. Thanks again Max and Im happy to have you here!!! Keep Rocking!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I started in my kitchen being mostly self taught and learning when I was getting tattooed. Moved up to a small hole in the wall and now I have a 1800square foot shop and keep growing. So keep it up it all comes in time
Wow that’s amazing!! And thank you sooo much, it really helps to hear of someone else who’s been there and done that and made it happen!!🤘🤘 And congratulations to you Dayton because 1800 square-foot tattoo shop is something to be proud of!!🤘 I will certainly keep at it as this tattoo and journey has been quite a ride and I can’t wait to see where it goes 🤘
Where did these lames come up with the term scratcher? 25 years ago, many tattooers worked out of their homes or client homes. Newbie slang
Some of the tattoo pioneers of black and white started in prison....
Fuckin hipsters
in a world where the media is ever evolving to fit our needs I can confidently say you have taught me the basics of tattooing and have helped me start a journey I once thought was impossible
Wow that is really awesome to hear Kerissa!! 🤘👍🙏👍🤘 I wish you nothing but the best as you continue down this journey and I really appreciate your support!! Dont quit, keep working hard and dont stop Rocking!!🤘🤘
You're a scratcher better than most licensed tattooers lol
Thank you I really appreciate that!! 🙏
There's been so many times I wanted to quit tattooing. I started out with a homemade machine, guitar string, my power supply was a motor from a train set, and Higgins drawing ink in 1995. I had only one person to learn from,and I had to learn, by mistakes and practice on myself for years. Through the mistakes, all the frustration, time, and effort, quitting wasn't what I was gonna do. Later on bought me some real equipment and practiced, read books, constantly drawing, ect. Here it is 2020, I'm still tattooing, I'm still learning, and I have about 3-4 hundred tattoos under my belt. And thanks to this channel I'm even more hungry to learn more. I took some techniques u have shown and slowed my tattooing down a bit and it makes a world of difference!! Thank You!!
Wow keith so cool to hear you never quit and that you kept up with it!! Thats determination and gritt!!!! And supper cool to hear your still chasing the dream and it sounds like your a short time away from making the dream come true. This is why I wanted to share my story cause I know there are some AMAZING artists out there doing awesome work but just dont really know how to go from there to a licensed shop. So I look forward to getting through the process and sharing that with people like yourself who deserve to be in their own shop. Thank you again Keith for the support and I cant wait for the day you let us know that your shop is opening up!!!! IT WILL HAPPEN brother stay the course and God Bless!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
My husband saw I had a desire and passion for the art of tattooing and pushed me to learn and start my journey. So on my search for videos to help me learn everything from the very basics and then more, I found your channel. In the short amount of time I’ve been watching, I’ve already learned so much! You’re an awesome mentor and great at explaining everything in detail. Thank you so much for all the help so far and I really want to say congratulations! I hope to someday get an apprenticeship to continue to learn and better my skills and maybe even have a shop of my own in the future. 🤘🤘🤘
My husband did this too. Just started about 2 weeks ago!
Dude you have no idea how much i needed to hear this today, i just started my own tattoo journey and today just learned about the term scratcher and was feeling very disheartened because i can't afford to do an apprenticeship. I was really feeling like giving up until I watched this video. Thank you again for all of your time and sharing all of your wisdom I really appreciate it man. Have a great day and stay safe during the pandemic.
Well I’m glad you found the video I’m glad you didn’t quit. Because scratcher is just a derogatory word for people who can’t tattoo well and those people are often the ones who tattoo out of their homes. But I think times have changed in the way we learn has changed where is nowadays you’re more like an at home tattooer. Everybody has to learn somehow and There are just not enough apprenticeships for everybody. Keep practicing and keep learning and keep rocking🤘🤘🤘
affording an apprenticeship makes no sense, in the US apprentices are required by law to be paid ??
I recently started tatting a lot and honest this page has been a godsend, this really is a reflection of your determination and self discipline and it’s one of those things where your practice and your hard work will show
Thank you soo much Fernandez for the kind words and amazing support!! Your right hard work and dedication is 90% of what it takes to make it in any field!! keep at it and Keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘
I am so thrilled that I found this channel. I was wanting to learn to do tattoos and so I bought some basic gear. But then I realized that information is either sparse, costly or confusing as ... So I became overwhelmed and put baby in a corner. I was waking up everyday thinking today is the day. But then I just meh. The other day however I found your channel and Yes! Finally, as one person in your comments put it, "a breath of fresh air"! The information is thorough and concise. Easy to follow and well made. Thank you! I actually started tattooing my fake skin last night and although I am not opening a tattoo shop anytime soon, I do have the drive and confidence to do more. I woke up this morning and I couldn't wait to get baby out the corner. As soon as I get some more black ink. Apparently my bro in law hijacked my ink while it was in the corner. And all I now have is a tiny bottle of yellow. Shame. THANKS AGAIN!
LOL I love how you refer to it as baby!! Thats awesome had me laughing pretty good!! 👍👍 But really Im happy to hear you are enjoying the vids and that they are helping you out!! Sometimes all we need is a little encouragment and be pointed in the right direction. Hope you get some ink and can get back at it soon!! Keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘
Congratulations, keep the fight going to reach your goals. Thank you for your dedication and support to helping those of us that don’t have the means to learn traditionally. I just started my journey at 65 and I’m not giving up.
That’s inspiring thank you so much for sharing that Marcos wish you the best of luck on your journey and you keep rockin sir!!🤘🤘
You’re a badass! Thank you, you have helped me and taught me so damn much. More than I’ve learned in a shop. And it’s inspirational to watch you grow and open your own shop. I’ve been wanting to open my own spot for years, this gives me hope! Thank you!!!!
Thank you sooo much Melissa and keep chasing those dreams cause one day you may wake up and realize your living your dream!! So dont quit and keep trucking towards your goals!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I'm starting my apprenticeship tomorrow and just wanted to tell you that your videos are the best on RUclips to learn every intricate detail of this job. I also really appreciate the fact that you always point out if something is up to the artist's preference. I both enjoyed and learned from every video. Thank you for everything. Love from Turkey!
Turnkey in the HOUSE!!! WOOT WOOT!! I am so happy to hear that the videos have helped you out and that you are starting your apprenticeship tomorrow !!!! 💥💥💥 CONGRATS!! Please let us know how it goes and if you need anything we will try to help you out the best we can. I thank you for your support and I wish you nothing but the best as you start your journey!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I was a first responder, and this channel has saved me. Been doing art for years, but tattooing has really given me happiness and most of all fulfillment. I could not have done this without this channel. You are very inspiring and extremely generous in your education. Thank you...

Duuuude i hope you see this i just bought my first tattoo setup and i have watched a huge chunk of your videos i just wanted to personly thank you for being so in depth and keeping them so simple as well. I also am mainly worried about needle depth and congrats on where you have come in the tattoo world
No problem Chance and thank you for sharing that man!!!🤘🤘🤘 I am happy to hear and see people chasing their dreams and taking their art and putting it on skin!! Needle depth is a hard one to figure out right off the bat. It takes time and practice to find that sweet spot. Keep at it chance you got this man!! ANd thank you so much for the kind words and support!! Keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘🤘
Good things come to good people, you have helped me out tremendously. I am extremely thankful and wish you nothing but success. You tha real MVP...
Wow thanks curt much love brother and you keep rocking my friend!!!🤘🤘😎🤘🤘
I'm in the same situation. I got canned because of covid and because of restrictions, I cannot return to the shop I was working. I'm currently Working out of my private studio I have established out of necessity to continue spreading the art of tattooing and to maintain my families needs. I have used some of your videos as tutelage for my apprentice and have learned from myself. This art form is a never ending quest for mastery. Always something to learn. Progressing and learning on your own is the most amazing thing anyone can do. Keep it up bro.
It's great to hear from others who are in the same situation. It seems like one step forward 3 steps back. Its going to be a process but I cant wait and im more then determined to make this happen!! I'm am sorry to hear about your situation BRIK sounds like you really got the rod end of that situation. However its awesome to see that you arent willing to just give up and move on. I wish you the best of luck brother and if there is anything I can do to help you out please let me know. And I really do appreciate you sharing your situation. Learning never stops and mastery of this trade must be some sort of a ghost cause I dont think i'll ever find it lol. But the journey is what it is!!! Rock on brother and never stop!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething Been interested in tattooing since the age of 5, tattooed for the first time at 13 and then 2 days ago celebrated 20 years of tattooing. I live eat breathe Tattooing and when We got shut down and let go, I honestly felt the rug yanked out from under me. It really makes me feel good that through the power of the interwebs we Tattooists can be supportive of one another. A forever sub to this channel.
I wonder if tattooing is going to be illegal based on the covid 19 problem, no shop owner is going to allow the government to dictate when he can and can't conduct business while he foots the bill. But I am sure the shop owners haven't been doing a little scratching themselves in the past 5 months
Congratulation on the new studio!
I would like to say that honestly I thought you were fairly transparent about your experience level as a tattoo artist right from the start.
--Story time?
Around 3 or 4 years ago I wanted to take my illustration education and apply that in a more tattoo appropriate direction. I grabbed my most current sketchbook and portfolio and decided to visit some of my local establishments to ask questions. I was just looking for more guidance and direction and wanted to know what I should be doing to build an appropriate portfolio. I probably visited about 10 studios that day, and only one of them were nice to me. Nobody looked at my art, not even the nice studio. I was laughed at by a few, and mocked by other. One of them even said I wasn't pretty enough; I still can't figure out why my physical appearance would play a part in my abilities as an artist. Overall it was such a negative experience that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with tattooing or tattoo artists because I thought everyone in the industry was just an egotistical jerk.
I received a machine (just a cheep starter kit from amazon) as a holiday gift about two years ago. I also have a couple of friends who had gotten apprenticeships and so kind of have some idea about what to do just from watching them. I trust my friends, and it helped me be a little less judgmental because I know that my friends are not the same as my first real interaction with the industry. However I still held some animosity towards that and was still afraid of that association so I didn't want to play with my new medium.
Because of the worldwide situation I of course needed to occupy my time, so I bought some practice skins. Unfortunately I still only had a vague idea of what I should be doing. I tried going though some google research, and RUclips videos, and I just found so many of them to be contradictory to one another or they were unclear.
I've said it in a past video but the information you give and the way you present it is so valuable. You do not treat us (your audience) like we're stupid but you do give us very beginner friendly information. You clearly repeat your ideas while giving examples. You talk about exploring techniques trying different things very openly. Maybe it's because you are still growing and so a part of you still remembers what it was like (I don't know, I'm not you, and I can't speak for you), but it helps you be very approachable.
This was a very long winded way of saying thank you! Even if I never move beyond practice skins, or do anything professional with this, you have still helped me grow! So, thank you.
First of I thank you for sharing that with me and with everyone!! 🙏 I understand the mentality you speak of as I have seen a lot of that in this industry and it's pathetic in my honest opinion. And to be honest you are exactly right about the fact that I am relatively new to tattooing and it's for that reason that I started this channel now instead of later becuase I didnt want to forget all the questions I had when I started and I never want to get to the point where I feel like I am some sort of special person cause I can tattoo (cause thats the way it seems most are). I see tattooing as an art form that should be respected and dabbled in carefully. BUt with that said I think anyone who want to take their art skills and put them on skin should have the opportunity to learn how to do that. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and dont stop cause you can make this happen if you want it bad enough. I am sorry to hear about your experience with those shops. I know their are some amazing tattoo artists running shops and treating people the right way, I just look forward to the day when there are more like that. Again thank you for sharing and Keep Rocking!!! 🤘🤘 🤘🤘
Thank you for all of your unselfish advice I too am on a journey to start what I've I always wanted to do as my expression of Art and your videos and advice has helped me tremendously
So once again thank you and I look forward to seeing what other content you bring us all and the much needed and much appreciated advice
Godspeed my friend
Thank you so much man!!! 🤘🤘 I wish you the best of luck on your journey as well!! Stay positive and stay focused!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
You are a true inspiration bro. Its tough getting an apprenticeship in Ocala Florida, but your struggle and accomplishments are a testament to the passion and drive you have. I needed this video man Thank you a lot brother. I just started my own tattoo channel because of guys like you. Thanks for the game. Keep up the awesome work.
Mad respect for you, bro!!! Inspiring. Just starting out myself, find your channel super valuable!
Thats awesome man thank you soo much I really do appreciate that!!! I hope to continue to bring the best I can!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I start to watch your channel recently and I got my tattoo kit! Thank you for all the information so I can learn tattooing at home during this time the shops are all closed. Great job!
Thats awesome dont stop learning and studying the craft cause its a really rewarding feeling!!! And congrats on the new equipment!! I wish you the best of luck on your journey and Hope to help in any way I can!!! 🤘🤘

anything i want to know as i'm venturing into tattooing, you have a video for everything while hitting every question i'm after at the same time. i've learned a lot from you and i'm so happy i've found your channel!
Ive been watching your videos for some time. You have really helped and explained many larts of tattooing. I thank you. I had apprenticed at a streetshop who mainly focus on traditional style work. I learned alot and built a solid platform in tattooing. Due to life events i had to leave my apprenticeship after 9 months. I was the hardest decision i had to make. It put me in a mode of deppresion because i felt like i failed on my dream to becoming a tattoo artist. Luckily after some time i snapped out of it and went to search for another apprenticeship. No one wanted an apprentice so i began to do my own thing.at this time is when i found your videos and Johnny Gaults videos and it has help me become better at persuing my dream. From the basics of being super sanitary to the actual art of tattooing. I am now about half a year doing my own thing and i will continue to push to become the best i can be. Thank you for posting these videos. Most people think it is a fun and cool thing to do when it comes to being a "tattoo artist". I am not that at all. I will always educate myself and try and learn and contribute as much as i can. I never wana stop learning. Keep pushing myself. I know i am new and still fresh but i am certain this is my calling. Thanks again for helping me get back on that horse and push to be better. Keep making these videos. U making a difference.
WOW Alex that is so inspiring to hear that you are still fighting the good fight and already have goals for yourself!!
I want to say congrats cause in my book you made it brother!! Your taking this serious and committing yourself to the process. As you already know its a rough road lots of ups and downs but all you have to do is hang in there and keep doing what you love!!! If you build it they will come, so keep building and congrats brother you got this!!!!! And thank you for the support I really do appreciate it!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wow dude this video hit real close to home, I was told in a chat group to “stop tatn trash outa my basement”, it discouraged me & I stopped, but only to try to set up my own studio with a bbp cert & more practice. I’m almost done & rdy to get back to it. I wish I could include a picture to show you. I’m nervous for the real stuff again thoug. & I feel ya I wouldn’t be here without help from family&friends. But I’m on board dude, ya can take me with. I’ve even thought about doing a Chanel when I started.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. It's not easy getting into tattooing, as for a while information was scarce. But glad to hear your back at it again with a new mind set!! Keep at it dont quit and you got this Eric!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Don't listen to some of these arrogant people. They might have had a bad experience or think because they spent thousands on an apprenticeship they'resomehow more deserving. Ignore the ELITE club. We have every resource available with the jnternet these days. Paying your dues can also mean taking time out of your own personal life to tattoo and improve your skills. This channel is the best of its kind that I've found.
These videos are amazing. My wife wants so badly to be an artist, and I’m her canvas. She does work out of our home (on me only) so far.
That’s awesome to hear these videos are really helping your wife out and that’s great that you’re being a canvas for her. Keep up the great work don’t quit and keep rocking🤘🤘🤘
Oh my fucking god how lucky we are to learn every single scratch from such a genuine tattoo artist who are willing to share everything he knows to us. Love you ❤❤❤
I'm turning 20 this year and grew up in a poor family, it's been hard to just even start drawing more because I am usually busy taking care of little ones but you have helped me sooo much to stay motivated and I can't thank you enough.... all I want is to someday be a tattoo artist, and without any money to start, I became more upset with the fact that it would take me longer. You've inspired me so much to keep learning and improving for my dream! Thankyou ♥️♥️♥️
I'm really sorry to hear about your situation Bellanvii. But please dont stop working hard and chasing your dreams cause they do come true and I'm more then happy to hear the videos have inspired you so much!! Keep Rocking and stay focused!! 🤘🤘
I’m a proud scratcher picked up my first gun in December fell in love done over 60 tattoos now love learning everything every day these videos make things a lot easier to understand keep them coming man love all the videos
Thanks Kyle thats awesome brother!! I think the better term for those who take this serious would be an at home tattoo artist. So be proud of the work you do, be safe and clean but dont ever let being a scratcher stand in the way of your dreams!! I wish you the best of luck brother as you continue down this road!! Keep Rocking and dont stop!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
thats great Kyle, ive been practicing for over a year and only tattoo'ed myself so far, got people waiting for me to tattoo them, but been holding them off untill i felt good enough, i dont mind messing up my skin a bit but i dont want to do it to someone else, well done , i'll be doing it very soon :)
Gun?

Number 2 Congrats and thank you for the continued support!! 👍👍 I appreciate that Eddie and I am more than happy to share the process with anyone cause its not easy but it is possible!! Thanks again Brother!! 🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething no promblem I'll be here to support you brother thru out most definitely
Love the transparency ❤️ Thank you for being here for us and for the work you do! I’m all in for your journey 🤘🏻🙌🏻
Thank you Lisa I appreciate that!! 👍🙏👍 And thank you for supporting the journey!! I wish you the best as you continue yours!! 🤘🤘🤘
Just started this path about 4 weeks ago. Scratchin in my office room. I GRIND like there's no tomorrow, and binge your channel. I want my own studio one day.
I love that you addressed that this is kind of unfamiliar in the tattoo community. Ive been trying to get an apprenticeship but no one even wants to answer questions. Lol they act like theyre protecting the crabby patty secret recipe. And everyone seems to be very anti social & its frustrating. & i really really am thankful for everything you do! Youve answered alot of my questions without me even asking! Its appreciated. 💯💯🤘🙏
I’m just happy to help Patricia. Most people don’t want to help others out in this field because the more tattoo orders there are the less business they think is for themselves. I think there’s enough business to go around but some people will just have to start stepping the game up. Treat your customers right and they’ll come back to you. Thank you so much for the support I’m really happy to know these videos have been able to help you. So keep rockin Patricia!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething for sure thats what i thought too. I can see how 20 yrs ago when people werent getting alot of tattoos it would be wise to keep the secrets. But now people are getting their whole bodies tattooed.... And i saw another tattoo artist who said that if people dont move away from the secret keeping mindset the tattoo business will choke itself out because there wont be enough people doing the job....
Congratulations! Just began a Month ago and learned so much from you, thanks for that! Wish u the best man!
Thank you brother and congrats on your progression!! You can only go up from here just stick with it through the good and the bad!! And Keep Rocking my friend!! 🤘🤘
I came across your channel a few weeks ago and have watched all of them. I recently began changing the medium I do my art on from paper to skin (of course I still use paper as well). I am 44 years old and really don’t know if I can get to the next level of tattooing people outside of my family/friends, but I just really like tattooing be it for money or not. Long story short I have learned so much more from watching your videos and want to thank you for sharing your knowledge to all, especially people like me who doesn’t really care if I get to make money doing this some day or not, I will still tattoo. I can see you are advancing and with that comes less time for educational videos (free for us I might add) but would love to see a section from you on how to draw tattoo style art. I personally like to draw my own flash but seeing as how I lack the skills to do realistic art I would love some input on how to use detailed art but with outline placement to actually be able to pull it off without killing the look of my favorite art. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you again for doing what you do, but most of all thank you for your service and defending my ability to sleep comfortably and safe every night!!
Thats awesome Bubba im very happy to hear the videos have helped you out on your journey!! And you have a great attitude towards tattooing, as its not always about the money. I love to tattoo and the money is just so I can pay bills and continue to tattoo. So stay positive and dont quit. Thanks for watching Bubba and I wish you the best!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank u for this. I just finished my 2nd tattoo on myself and it is super hard. Your videos have helped me so much
You got this! Stay focused and dont quit!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Your student from Egypt
Congratulations,I'm so happy to you
Thank you so MUCH Abanoub!!! I really truly love the support you all provide!!! Keep ROCKING 🤘🤘
At the moment I’m in the process where you started, going on to open my own shop. Like your vids, very encouraging and very positive advice! And to that I’m grateful. We have the same laws as you over there, here in Malta , Europe. It’s very hard in the beginning, at the moment I’m worried that if I open, I won’t have any customers, but I have quite good support from friends and family. But I will, I’m good at tattooing, and will make it 💪
Thats the kind of mind set you want. No matter what happens keep at it!! And for now just work on family and friends until you have a good client base and by the time you get to that point you will probably be ready to open the doors!! Just keep Rocking James!! 🤘🤘

You’re dedication is wicked. I started after you had started the channel, I learned coils, how to use them, tune them, I tatted hours on fakes, got into real skin, fell back a little for a while but I’m back now. I just ditched all my gear sold it all and bought all better newer rotary.
In the feels. Man you motivate me so well to stick to this goal, first time in years I'm actually excited about something in my life 😂

Art-Something i just want to say thanks for making these videos. I have learned a ton. Keep up the great work.
I’m 18, watching your videos and looking into getting a kit. My father encouraged me to use my love for art as inspiration to get into tattooing. These last few days I have been watching your videos and soaking in information. I’m excited to get into what I’ve dreamed of for years. I’m hoping when I get good enough I can give my dad a tattoo because he always said he wanted to be the first person I tattoo. Thank you so much for posting these videos, I feel more comfortable and prepared for what’s coming in my journey
I really love your videos. Don't stop posting. Your posts are motivational and inspiring. I'm just starting out and have been following your tips and advice. Good to know that you have your own shop now. Good luck with everything brother.
THank you sooo much Edgar really appreciate that!!!! 👍👍 And best of luck to you as you continue down this journey!! Keep your head up and stay motivated!! 🤘🤘🤘

THANK. YOU!!! For sharing this video! Your transparency is SO valuable! I’ve been an artist my entire life and decided this year to swallow the fear of trying something new in tattooing. I’ve watched a huge portion of your content (if not all of it😳) and am highly inspired by you and wholeheartedly appreciate you for helping me gain the confidence to go towards something I’ve wanted to do for a long time!
Oh man thats awesome to hear Byron so glad that you have decided to swallow the fear and dive into tattooing!! I am more than happy to hear that the content is helping you out!! 👍👍 Chase that dream byron and dont give up no matter how hard and frustrating it may get at times. You keep Rocking brother and I look forward to seeing you progress!! 🤘🤘
I have been tattooing professionally for 31 years and I am still learning every day. when you think you know it all you are doing yourself a great disservice this career is a journey as art is in general.
I did a few tattoos so far and they turned out amazing. Thanks for the information bud. Newbies can evolve the industry. Be passionate my people and be your best.
Well said Michael well said👍👍 and congrats on good work you’ve been doing!! Keep it up and keep rocking brother!! 🤘🤘
Bought my kit and extras.
Sat down and trial and errored my self through seting up the machine(coil) and a did a few tinsey tiny tattoos(complete garbage) and one large rose(honestly not that bad im proud of it.) Both of which were With a literal single needle(didnt realize i needed to use 3,5,9RLs which are what I thought were shaders)on practice skin. Sat down watched 25 of the 65 of your tattoo tutorial Playlist.
Today i ordered a bunch more stuff. Now that I learned from YOU what I now know. I'm so much more confident and excited to continue to practice.
You're channel is basically a Tattoo Apprenticeship for the socially akward. (me 100%)
I just really wanted to thank you for your time and knowledge.
Do you have an patron?
You're videos are a god send. When thinking about how to start along this path it was overwhelming. I hit the ground running and I felt prepared and confident. I've only done 2 tattoos on family and word already brought me more faster than i expected. Humble beginnings but with the help u've provided i have a goal . To get licensed in doing what I enjoy and now I feel more secure in going for it.
Thats awesome to hear Diana!! Really happy to hear you feel confident and ready. Yeah always remember focus on doing the best work you can and the people will come. "if you build it they will come" best statement ever!! Keep at it stay focused and determined!! And Keep ROcking!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Semper Fi brother. I apprenticed in Jacksonville in 93-94 nights and weekends when I wasn't deployed, been grinding it out in shops all over the world ever since. You've paid your dues, " scratcher" or not... you're in the club
Wow thank you so much for saying that Woodsman I truly appreciate that brother 🙏🙏!! I thank you for your service Sir and Thats really cool to hear that you have been grinding it out all over the world!!! I'm sure you have a wealth of knowledge from your experiences. From what I have learned it seems its all about experience and time so congrats on that Sir. Again I thank you so much for the support!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething there's no room in my world for secret clubs and information. If there's a way we can communicate privately, I'm more than willing to talk about anything with you
Awesome advice, i have set up my own shop in my log cabin at home. Been tattooing for about 6 weeks now, tattooing friends and family and myself. I have watched all your vids excellent advice. Live the dream man and keep the vids coming. 👌👍✌️
Thats awesome Barry!! Keep up the awesome work man! Dont quit stay focused and keep the dream alive!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Congrats bro! People like you are awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Thanks for teaching us.
My pleasure!🤘🤘 And thank you for supporting the channel !!
Just got my Practice Kit. Cant wait to start! Love your information and insight!
Thats Awesome Reborn!!! And congrats on the new equipment!! 🤘🤘🤘
Congratulations on the new shop I look forward to more of your videos a lot of the techniques that you have shown has definitely helped me with me as a beginning artist so I would like to take this time to thank you for producing such informative videos and helping the little people like myself thank you for all that you do
Wow man thank you very much Adams I really appreciate that brother!! And you are more than welcome happy to know the others out there are chasing their dreams🤘🤘
Don’t care if you’re a scratcher or a pro! Also you’ve been very honest about not being a pro from the beginning. You’ve taught me so much when other pros will not. Reddit won’t even allow anyone to COMMENT their OPINIONS on how a tattoo looks if they’re not a verified professional. I’m not kidding lmao. Anyway you’ve taught me a lot and I’m doing fairly decent on oranges and fake skin. Learned so much about depth and needle types from you too. And when I bring it to my own skin it’ll be super sterile (thanks to your education) and somewhere nobody can see, after tons of practice.... which isn’t available if nobody teaches. Thank you! :)
Thank you Rose I really do appreciate your support!! Yeah I stay off of reddit and anything that breads negativity. Everything starts in your mind, you have to believe you can in your mind and then just carry out that goal. And you can not let the negativity in. People like to tare down those who are trying to better themselves as they dont want to see anyone doing better then themselves. I believe its for that reason people dont like to share info. And I'm happy to hear the videos are helping you out!! Keep at it dont quit and best of luck to you on your journey!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
You’re a legend and an inspiration man! And you’re a GOOD DUDE. Keep at it bro!!!!
Wow thank you so much Michael I truly appreciate the support brother!!! And Keep Rocking!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I did my first couple of tats 11 years ago when i was 17 with a homemade tattoo gun my uncle made out of a handheld blender, a led pencil, a rubber band, an eraser and a guitar string. I did an eight ball for my uncle and a giant grim reaper on his back with a middle finger sticking up and the other hand had the world burning and i did some letters for my other uncle and i did a big ass coi fish on my right thigh cause i thought i could hide it from my dad but he found out pretty fast lol. I haven’t thought about tattooing since but more recently i bought a tattoo machine and had my girl and her brother and his gf tat another coi fish to hang out with my old one. All the old tats i did wasnt the best of quality but i didnt care i still love it and think its cool that i did it myself. The other day i tatted a hannya mask on my knee and that came out pretty awesome now i just got to work on shading. Listening to your videos really inspired me to keep doing it cause i always been the artist out of my peers ever since kindergarten i just never seen an avenue i can go with it. Thanks bro for bringing out the artistic side of me that was dormant for a long time i hope to be great one day and leave my mark on the world
Dude, Yesterday I've finally started the first thing I did was some Kanji cuz it as the most Straight line.
Folks I did it on a fake skin :P
But with everything ( Every step of Client preparation, cleaning etc ).
But men you are my mentor in a way.
Keep the good work your the king.
Damn brother I really appreciate that man. It really does make me happy to know others are learning and progressing from these videos. SO I thank you for sharing that and Keep Rocking and DONT stop!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the inspiration. Ive been a pinstriper/airbrush artist in the automotive indistry. I have tattoos and have always been in awe of the awesome work i see. I took the plunge and bought a kit. Im 51 yrs old. Would you say im to Old to start? Ive already been discouraged by some friends. Again your channel is very informative and inspiring. Thanks
That’s awesome to hear you have decided to take the plunge! I never think your to old to start something new. and if you stick with it through the beginning, when it’s the hardest you will thank yourself. Tattooing is an amazing art form and it sucks you In if you put the hard work in. I wish you nothing but the best brother as you start your journey🤘🤘 don’t quit and keep Rocking🤘🤘🤘🤘
What you said about having a guild from here to there is exactly why people like me appreciate you and you learning video. Just you videos in general. It’s awesome see you growth brother! 🤙🏼
I’m happy to hear the videos are helping you out and I look forward to sharing everything I know and learn with all of you. And feel free to share things as you learn things as well 👍👍 thanks again Michael appreciate the support 👍👍🤘🤘
I remember I use to sweat and shake every time I started a tattoo.. lol.
Best advice I can share,, if you have a bad stincle your gonna have a bad tattoo,,
slow down when you're lining, and stretch that skin , the line work is everything..
Remember to slow your machine speed when doing small details so you will have more control and you don't have blow outs ..
Learn to Line with a 3r and 5r...... you can always make the line bigger but never smaller..
Just my two cents happy holidays 🤗..
Thank you for sharing your path with us. You are inspiring to so many and keep being awesome!
Thank you sooo much I appreciate that 🙏🤘
Contrats for the New shop !
So happy for you , its all deserved 😁🎉
I finally buy my first machine after i've been Watching your vids. 🌹☀️
So i thank you so much to be so open and share all this informations with us.
I can't explain the feeling when i make the first skin practice , and this motor sounds drive my heart crazy!😁
Hi from Québec .☀️🌾
Oh thats so cool man!! Tattooing is such an amazing rush of feelings some times. I think its the feeling along with the art that keeps me hungry for more!! Great to hear you positive out look and excitement cause thats what its all about!!🤘🤘🤘🤘 Quebec Woot WOOT!!!
Hey jus wanted to let you know iv been watching all your videos for a while now and I couldn't be more thankful and they have truly helped me follow this dream of ink and I gotta say this video right here was the best love what your doing projecting those positive vibes and thanks for sharing your journey
Yours truly
Thank you so much for the kind words Truly!! Awesome to hear the video has encouraged you to follow your dreams.
With an industry dedicated to keeping people out I have found it very important to keep things positive and to encourage those who are trying to keep working at it!! I wish you the best of luck as you start to travel down this journey. !! 🤘🤘
You are just brilliant for sooooo many reasons. You can see in your video how humbled you are that you are actually sitting in your own shop. Bravo to you. I’ve just opened my own tattoo room here in Australia. There’s crazy amounts to learn and you and your videos are an absolute gift. I wish you all the success in the world and thanks again for your generous spirit...it’s what the world needs more of. C
Thank you sooooo MUCH Clare (C)!!👍👍 And Congrats to you and your new shop as well!! 🤘🤘 Its people like you taht keep my motivation up!! I thank you so much and Im very happy to hear that you enjoy the videos!! Keep Rocking Clare🤘
Congratulations bro 💯% RESPECT its great to see you succeeding, keep up with the awesome content ✌🏻💖
Thank you Mark I appreciate that brother!!👍👍🤘🤘
I really appreciate your content and videos so much. I apprenticed in a shop over five years ago and had to put that on hold to focus on being a parent and getting back into the art and work on my own time (I can’t always do this on “shop hours”) -utilizing all of this helpful content has been absolutely so valuable. Thank you for helping make this dream possible. I wish you the best in your new shop!! 💖
Thank you for sharing this with me Amber its Amazing to know these videos have really helped you make your dreams possible, God Bless you and I wish you all the very best as you continue chasing your dream. Work hard enough and your dreams will become your reality. Much love and respect your way! 🤘🤘🤘
Congratulations on the studio bro. Was on my way as an apprentice back in 2011 but the shop owner screwed everyone over and I had to give it up. Came across one of your videos randomly and have already ordered a kit. Wondering if you could link me to a video for the best way to set up coil machines for lining and shading? Going to start on fake skin again and learn what works for me.
Thats awesome congrats on getting back into tattooing!! But it really sucks to hear about the shop you where at. I used a coil machine for the first couple months but switched early to rotary pens and have honestly been stuck on them since. WIth that said I dont think I am the best person to teach or show the ins and outs of coil machines. I do believe there are some good vids out there that do show this. I thank you for asking though and I wish I could help you out. Please let me know if I can help you in any other way. And thank you so much for the support its much appreciated!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Art-Something No worries brother. I’m going to switch soon myself. I just ordered something light that I could practice with and hope that some of what I learned before would come back. I’ll keep in touch with you still. I’m subscribed to all videos of yours. Love the format and the way you put them together. Very informative. Thank you for keeping it #FREE.
Congrats on everything. Thanks for the journey so far & seat belted in for the rest of the ride.
That’s awesome to hear Jason!! 👍👍 I’m ready for the ride brother!! 🤘🤘
Man, i have been following you since the start of this year when everything went to hell and all i can say is, Thank you. Thank you for your teachings, lessons, tips &, tricks. You truly have inspired me to go and get what i want and that is to be a tattoo artist. I have been knocked back so many times trying to get apprenticeships so i took the plunge the other day and got my first machine so i can put all i have learnt from you into practice very soon. Keep doing what your doing man. I have loved the journey this year on your channel and ill continue to follow and learn from you as you are about as real as it gets and that is so cool. Hope to send you some of my fake skin when i do some. Keep it up dude.
WOw thank you sooooo much Brother for the continued support!!! And it makes me really happy to hear that people enjoy the content and find value in the vids. I'm glad they have helped you and I will continue to keep it real with everyone as we are all in this tattoo journey together no matter what phase we are in we can all learn from each other and help build one another up. Thank you again Junior Art much love!! 🤘🤘🙏🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething thank you. I tell you what the tattoo community in my area could learn a lot from your embrace in we are all on this journey together. It almost has put me off of how bitchy and backstabbing they are here so much to the fact one artist claimed the main artist from a shop was dying its just stupid. So your a real breath of fresh air i mean it man your the best. 🤘🤘🤘
I am in a similar position right now. I was doing it thr right way and I HAD an apprenticeship, but my mentor ended it early for her own reasons and I had not signed a contract (lesson learned) so until I can find a place to tattoo safely I'm learning on my own. Thank you for being honest in your videos. It gives me hope for my own situation. 🙏
You’re amazing! Thanks for teaching us! Praying you succeed in all you do!
Thank you so much Nikki really appreciate that.
Dude you are sooo amazing! we are so grateful for you, i watch all your videos thank you for teaching the way you do. Highly appreciate you! 🙏🏼 🤘🏼

Count me in. Just received my cnc q2 and was just wondering about maintenance do you need to grease the motor and if so what with? Keep rocking brother.
thank you for all your help ive been working full time roofing and trying to get licensed on the side so i can stop the roof hustle! i also was in a shop for a min but couldnt afford to stay for free while also raising my kids but years later i picked my machine and plan to finish what i started it has always been my dream to tattoo as well as i can draw. ill never give up and your videos are so helpful you have shown me many tricks and tips that no one was willing to teach me! thanks again man!
You have helped so much this video is inspiring as hell because like you said i want to work for my self and i dont care if that means working twice as hard 🤘🤘🤘 THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH
Scratching ain't Easy! Smooth sailing MAN! And thanks for all that you do!
