- In Todays video we will be going over how to achieve a softly shaded area with a Mag needle. A few things will help you out a lot One being to use a large mag needle as the larger the better when it comes to keeping things smooth. Next you want to have a decent understanding of your grey wash. And Three ensuring you keep a consistent needle depth through out the shading process. This video alone wont explain everything but this video combined with my other videos regarding this Soft shading topic should help guide you in the right direction. I still have a long way to go when it comes to soft smooth shading but I wanted to share what I have learned so far and more will come with time.

Sup vato, i see you working hard, you kno last week when I was puffing the magic dragoon I thought to myself I need to work on my shades and shading and now look at this! And why did you laugh after you talked about makeup 💄 huh? I try to do my wife’s makeup from time to time, and she tell me “I don’t see what’s so hard about tattoo, your just tracing s**t!” 😡 and whoo holla at your boy.
Cheers for the vids mate! Your an absolute legend! Much love from Australia 😎👍
Every video ya make is great.each video is knowledgeable rather it be your justbstarting out or if you've been tattooing for awhile and wanna try something a diffrent way.great channel hands down one of the best for learning.
Same here lol
Thank you.
So helpful
I 'am a Tattoo Artis since 25 Years and i would say all what this friendly Guy Talks us,is the Real how it goes what he Show us is 100%real good stuff
Thank you so much Holger I appreciate the support. It’s good to know others see things the same way and agree. Again appreciate the support and keep rocking brother!🤘🙏
@@ArtSomething you are the only one on the huge RUclips thats how it goes.you make a great Job.please stay for some years for all beginners and guys like me they want train every day what New and better for my skills
David don’t worry about your lingo, I don’t even speak or write English properly and I understand every single word 😊
bro you are so extremely helpful to me. I just bough my iPad Pro 12.9 5th gen just to watch your videos and getting used to procreate as well. Keep it doing trust me you are one of my main reasons that motivated me to the idea of trying it. And for that reason , THANK YOU VERY MUCH 👏🏾
Screw the lingo, you’re speaking my language. Love u dude, thanks for all the help
Very helpful as always! I've been scared to use the bigger mags and in turn I've ended up with the "streaks" definitely going to practice with fake skin. I did my first attempt at a realism over the weekend and paying attention to you and your tips have helped. It turned out really well and had some people have that "wow" moment . I kinda amazed myself. And you have helped me get there man so I greatly greatly appreciate you.
That’s awesome to hear your smashing it with the black and grey realism. Keep pushing at it and it will keep getting better and better. But yeah give those big mags a try I think your really gonna like them.

Something else that can help with smoother grey is a shorter stroke machine. 2.5mm stroke works very well for soft grey. I love my bishop wand shader though so I find that I don’t use my others as much as I probably should. Keep up the good work man!!
Definitely a huge help. Will continue watching your tutorials and advancing… keep rockin Dave!!
Really glad to hear that Joshua!! Thanks for the support and keep rocking brother🤘🙏
I'll be saving and watching this tonight when I'm practicing after work!
Another masterpiece brother. I haven't begun to shade anything yet but I'm not far off. It just makes things come to life. Keep em coming. I love the knowledge.
Big help, bro! Shading is something I haven’t tackled just yet…but this helped me feel a little more comfortable about the idea. Thoroughly enjoy your videos bc you share your knowledge in easy to comprehend terms. Appreciate you!
Dave, you are my hero! I am so impressed how much your channel has expanded. You are doing a wonderful service for the industry! woot woot.
Very helpful, I have only just picked up a machine as hit a mental wall for 25 year so great to refresh my brain and learn from scratch again, thank you for advice
Another very helpful and insightful video Dave. These shading videos are really helping me be less self conscious about any shading I do. As you say, it's a continuous learning curve, sometimes you hang ten, and sometimes you wipe out ( as an analogy) Keep them coming k? ✌️
Btw your tip on adding white to the washes is EXTREMELY helpful I've used it since and its helped so much
That’s Awesome to hear! I have been doing that since that video was made and it has helped me out a lot as well so it’s cool to hear it’s helped others as well! 🤘🤘
hi, its working with tripple black, or black "dynamic" only ? What a diffrence about this 2.
Great video, it actually does help alot, as all your videos do, great job, that tattoo is looking amazing, be safe and have fun
Thank you Al and I’m always happy to hear when the videos are helpful! Always appreciate the support brother and keep Rocking!🤘🙏
Always good information. This video was definitely helpful. This is the area I need to focus on most. My shading skills aren't the best.
Thank you so much Kenny really do appreciate the support and im glad the video could help you out as shading is still one of those things that just slowly comes with time and effort. Keep working at it and in time it will come.
Thanks for the tutorial. Your speech is fine, I understand you no problem. I did an apprenticeship back in 75' and today is totally different than it used to be. I want to do Quality work and Big pieces but my training I am finding out was not anywhere near what I really needed to know. I am not good at the drop thing I have trouble making the shade I want so I ordered pre mixed Black and grey inks from Industry INK. I wonder if I am making a mistake relying on their mix. I learned a lot from just watching you in this video so I will get better at mixing in the future, but I will experiment a LOT on Fake skin. My BIG problem is depth, I know that I am going too light because the fake skin I am using, 3mm Real skin brand, always makes the black look grey it's either the skin, the ink, or I am not going deep enough. I wish I could show you a pic. I do a LOT of drawing and have learned how to shade with a pencil really well and I attempted to use my technique on paper to the fake skin and I got bad results, way too light. How do I get over that fear of going too deep and causing blow out? I have been " Riding the tube" so to speak and I am afraid it's too shallow. What length should I have the needle extend from the tube ? Thanks for your time and knowledge I really like watching you work. I can use any help I can get and You Tube I have found has a lot of varying techniques that confuse me. I am a cancer patient doing this to keep my mind off my issues and tattooing has always been a part of my life I want to do work on people before I die.
The video song of it helps now I understand how to do the smooth shading because of this video I can improve my game on tattooing so thank you I was awesome
That’s awesome to hear Marcos I hope you take the info and run with it! 🤘🙏
Thanks for taking the time to make such informative, and easy to digest videos.
Straight to the point very visual i learn a lot with your video thank you for that !
Thank you so much Gabriel as I try to keep it to the point as much as possible but sometimes the videos still end up being longer then I want them to be. Glad the videos are helping you out and thank you for the support 🤘🙏
Just the kind of thing I was looking for. More videos like this would be appreciated as well. Super helpful- thanks!
Awesome to hear that! I’m glad it helped and I will try to continue to bring more videos like this!🙏🤘
Another brick in the Wall i would say...💥👍💥👍💥👍
HAHAAH well said my friend!🤘
Hey bro, can you do a video explaining the shading around a tattoo, like when you connecting different pieces. Usually Smoke or something around the tattoo and leading into others
I always love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
your the man keep up the good work my friend
Thank you Dave brother by ink. Really needed this video for memory refreshing.
No problem Tevis! Glad the video could help refresh things for you. And thanks for the support my friend!🙏🤘
I use mostly black ink. Then I don't have to worry about inconsistent shading, as much but thank you for great needle & technique tips, I can always use lots of those too.
Yeah using mainly black does make things a bit less complicated that’s for sure. I like a good black work piece as well. Glad the video could help out smoke and thank you for the support my friend!🤘🙏
Been watching you for a minute 👍🏻 keep up the goods 💯
This channel is underrated
Thank thank you so much scape really appreciate that 🙏🙏🤘
Hi Art how are you doing. Sorry I know this is a year old but I have a bishop wand shader which I’ve had for going on about year and a half now. I’ve already sent it back in for a repair once when it stopped working in under 100 hours and I really do love the machine. It took a few months to get it back from Bishop but when I did, I was excited to start using it again. The problem I’m having now is the machine doesn’t seem to want to fire up and push anything bigger than an 11 mag. When I throw a 15 or 13 even into the machine, it won’t start up and I have to turn it on and then push the cartridge into the machine, I really don’t like doing this as I prefer to use a power supply and a foot pedal still. With the cost, the shipping for the repairs and the repair itself I am into this machine for about $1300 now and I think it’s far too much to spend on something that isn’t gonna properly function. You’re using a 19 mag in the same machine with a battery supply, I was going to go buy musotoku power supply and keep a steady 5 A ready but spending $700 plus canadian to make this $1300 machine run just seems like more money wasted. i’ve literally only run the machine probably four times since receiving it from the repair shop at Bishop because I’m just thoroughly disappointed in its performance.
great video Dave! I have been watching and learning from your videos over the last two years. I started my journey picking up a machine for fun, playing on fake skin. next thing you know, im tattooing my own legs. couple posts onto my Instagram and suddenly others are hitting me up for some tattoos. TLDR; after many tattoos and practice. I talked my way into a shop, where I increased my clientele tremendously. Now I am able to make a living from tattooing and haven't looked back since. thank you.
🤣
this was sooo helpful!! once again learned something new, thank you!
Awesome to hear the video it helped you out and thanks for the support Bridget!🤘🙏
Awesome, very helpful as usual! 🤘 Keep up the great work!!
Love it bro, keep em coming
Thank you Jason I will certainly continue to share what I can as often as I can. And thank you for the support! 🤘🙏
As always very helpful and we'll explained. Would definitely like to see more videos like this. And always appreciate the help and always look forward to seeing the next video. Also where can I get the real skin fake skins from. Haven't been able to find em. Keep up the awesome work Dave.
O man, thank you...this is my 2022 goal 🤯🤯🤯
Awesome to hear the video is what you needed for 2022!! Keep that goal alive and keep rocking Rob!🤘
Can you do solid packing with a grey wash instead of the shading ?
Nice video I'm gonna try bigger mags see how it goes I struggled the most with getting light shades and getting a even shade over a bigger area ...
Yeah larger mags will help big time with that. It won’t make things simple, and it’s not a fix all but it will certainly help.
Nice ya your right I tried a bigger shader and ya way smoother and can get bigger areas the same tone without getting spots of darker shades in it.....
So I get the using the largest mag possible - that has worked well for me (and I appreciate the level of depth you explain it and show it here). But I recently did a black and gray rose with stem that in total was less than 3in tall. I ended up using a 12 9 RS and much thinner mixtures of black-to-water.
I am super new to tattooing and am only using myself (and occasionally fake skin) to tattoo on.
I guess my question is, if I can't fit a M or CM in a piece, did I do the most efficient thing for soft shading, or is there a better way?
Good stuff
Thank you Randy glad you liked it! 🤘🙏
Awesome video man ! Thank you so much for such great content ! One quick question. Do you use the same voltage you would use to color pack?
Great content thank you! I'll be doing a Black Flag logo so I'll get to practice in real time. Get timing as always!
Semper Fi
Thank you for your video!
Your very welcome!🤘
Do you have a video on making smoke?
Thank you for the knowledge.
What if the area is too large or in a shape that makes it too difficult to cover the entire area all the way end to end in one sweeping pass like you are doing in the “brick?
How do you join passes seamlessly without creating an area that is darker because of an overlap when you do another pass?
All my attempts to saturate a large area or a complicated shape with one cohesive mono-tonal fill have failed. As hard as I try to make it consistent, I end up with a slightly splotchy fill.
Thanks for the help!
Thank you... Does adding white to the greywash mixtures work well on brown skin?
Niiiice!
Thank you 🙏 🤘
Good friend tutorial
Love the videos learn a lot from your videos I have a question I have been struggling with getting the stencil to stick to the fake skin do you have a trick so it doesn't just wipe off any help would be much appreciated thank you
@JMC Thank You
Great video man. I've done the same technique with my work and it comes out nicely. But in theory, wouldn't you want to start with the darker tones and then do the lighter tones, so that there are less passes over the skin and less trauma? Is there a reason you start with the lighter tones?
Great question
I do the same process, my way of thinking is I can put tones in but I can't take them out so I prefer to go from light to dark. I've not had any problems doing it this way
If you want to go dark to light you can but I’ve done that for a while and have found light to dark is the way to go for me and my style of tattooing. Once you learn to read the skin (takes time) you will know when the skin is over worked or not.
@@ArtSomething Word. I have personally been doing it Light to dark as well. And like I said, it comes out looking nice. My question about going dark to light just crossed my mind while watching this video. I personally haven't really used any bug pin though. I usually just use standard. Might give it a try and see if it makes my shit a little smoother.
Dark to light is more of a stencil issue for me. I finish as I go. So the dark parts, especially full black go in first, to capture the stencil. Then I’ll do both light to dark or dark to light
Great video!!
I am currently trying shading and I get the patchy effect, not smooth at all. So in order to resolve that you would recommend using bigger magnums?
Well done
Nice!
Thank you Frederick appreciate that brother 🤘🙏
Nice bro
THank you my friend! 🤘🙏
Just curious, why do you make your own graywash, instead of using Dynamic's (or any other reputable ink company) graywash set?
What voltage did you run. Not sure if I missed that or if you omitted it
Thank youuuu! I been looking for this kind of detailed video for shading with mags . Every time I practice on fake skin it just doesn’t come out as smooth . Can’t wait to try out these techniques! 😊
How do you get the light tones use gray wash or light gray mix @ 16:48 how it has a lighter red tone
I’m not sure if it’s the fake skin but I was using one drop of black, barely sinking the needles, and increased hand speed but it’s still coming out too dark. I was struggling a lot with blending. Any ideas?
What would it look like if you overwork the skin?
Please can i see some link or somthng about the set up maschine 5v-12v 4mm stroke i get maschine yeastrday but its looks like the stroke of needle 4mm its tooo long out from cartrige cuz when i see wideo how guy cooloring lining and shading see how long is out needle so my maschine 4mm is too long out needle like i daid any tipe ??? Thnx
Do you use both sides of reelskin? The ones I got have different feel on each side.. one flat and other side shiney.. stencil doesn't stick to Shiney side. Thnx
I dont use the shiney side i use the other side from that. Yeah much harder trying to work the shiney side and like you said getting the stencil to stick is very difficult as well.
What ointment are you using to dap and go?
I got a question, im beginner and i find shading with RS easier and smoother than RM, should i stick to just RS or maybe its a cartridge fault couse i have RS different brand than RM?
What size mag would you say dosen't streak?
Yoyoyo it’s like a sign wen stuff like this pops up
Hi! Voltage please ?🙏🏼
8:27 how much did you put the voltage please ?
Any plans on reviving your podcast?
ARE YOU KEEPING THE MACHINE VERY SLOW WHILE SHADING
My mentor tells me if I did multiple passes like that I would be overworking the skin. Do you see overworked skin from these techniques?
No the skin is not overworked due to 2 things here: 1 the type of needle being used (bugpin) smaller diameter needle less trauma. 2. the machine im using has a soft hit and bogs down in the skin meaning not as hard of a hitting machine. If I had the same technique with the wand packer it would make for a much more damaged result possibly over worked skin. if using the packer you would have to adjust fire and apply a little less pressure and or maybe a pass or so less. Again you will learn to read the skin and know when its red or over worked. I hope this makes sense.
@@ArtSomething makes a lot of sense. Appreciate the videos you put out. They help a lot!
Yep, a soft hit, and bugpins. Good stretch, and don’t hang the needles out to far.
What machine and cartridges are you using
Bishop wand shader with CNC police cartridges
If you shade in different directions, does that have a chance of causing more trauma to the skin?
Interesting!!!! But it takes longer shading on fake skin or not????i mean compare to real....anyway you video rocks bro....thanks
Yeah It can take longer shading on fake skin it may take a few more passes then it would an actual skin also depends on the type of fake skin you’re using.
@@ArtSomething what kind of fake skin do u use ??? I'm working on fake skin since 1 year, now i wanna try tattoing myself a simile drawing!!!!
I think you could do without saying you’re not an expert in your videos especially considering how many people you help get better I’d say you’re expert enough to not have to say you’re not if you know what I mean lol keep up the great work appreciate every vid
I understand what your saying but I guess I just want people to understand that I’m just a guy who tries things out and shares stuff with people. I never know if things are right or wrong I just know what works for me. But I will start leaning away from letting people know I’m no expert as I guess no one knows what makes one an expert anyways lol. Thanks for the support Monty and keep rocking my friend!🤘🙏
I’m new just trying to learn. I haven’t practiced of fake skin yet let alone real people. I have a long way to go before I get to real people.
Bugpin needles you mean short taper needles?
No I mean bugpin needles, with a long taper would be preferred for this type of shading. Short taper would be used for packing color.
BIG NUM NEEDLES CAN B USED FOR BIG AREA WHAT ABOUT SMALL AREA WHICH NUM NEEDLES SHOULD B USED FOR SMALL AREA'S
I was just asked if I knew how to do bricks
Love this One! Shading Definitely is a Technique that needs continual Practice. The way you've illustrated it makes sense and easy to Follow along. Thank for Sharing and Breaking it down.

Who are you supposed to be teaching? Kitchen magicians who are going to destroy peoples skin practicing? Because if you are in a shop, this is common knowledge. If you cant shade and work in a shop, just get up and leave now
Yeah man trying to help anyone who is looking for help. Either in a shop are striving to make it on there own. Just sharing what little info I know or have. Thanks for watching .
