unpopular opinion: not every tattoo you get has to have a deep meaning. sometimes it just feels good to get a tattoo that you just find aesthetically pleasing or you think will look good on you. also, I'm not saying that you shouldn't have tattoos that have meaning to them, just saying not every tat has to be deep.
I so have to agree with Tans philosophy, the imperfection can be scary as well as trends and interest change. You could like something for 5 years and then absolutely loose the love for it. Definitely see Riches view on it though
I like it too because it’s true. You will always judge you Tatts the most and point out all the flaws. But when it comes to trends I think if your Worried about it just get something that’s meaning full and cover your body little by little that way your always keeping up with trends.
Holy shit I watched this dude back in freshman year of high school when he only had 40k subscribers now I just randomly saw this video and he’s at 1.9m, respect for this dude’s grind 💯
As someone with a lot of tattoos, the only criticism that I have for Riche's advice is the idea of always thinking of what other people will think about your pieces / how they may look at you. I think that the most important thing is what you yourself thinks about them and that's it
Love you doing this video, yes we requested it a lot. I gave my artist a reference photo for Athena (massive bottom piece of my sleeve) and he totally transformed it into something way better than I imagined. Breathe deep when they're hitting those pain points truly.
The very first tattoo place I went to had a sign that read "good tattoos aren't cheap, and cheap tattoos aren't good". The first thing you saw when you walked in, always kept that in mind.
This was a dope video! Super informative and really making me think harder about what I want, how I want it, and the repercussions of getting it. Preciate you Richie!
I am 16 currently and im planning to get a sleeve when I turn 18. Luckily for me, I have an uncle who's non-related really but he's one of the top 10 tattoo artist in my country. We are very closes and he's tatted pretty much everyone who has tattoos in my family
Definitely have been thinking about getting a tattoo. Wanted the mamba logo for Kobe since he’s been a big influence in my life, but timing isn’t right as of now since I’m diving into my career. Very informative and I’ll be looking back into this video once I finally do decide. Thanks Richie as always.
A good point that I don't hear often is how does your tattoo affect your bodies appearance. Not just on that part where the tattoo is, but around it aswell
just got finished an American traditional dragon done on my entire upper right arm and I can definitely say, FIND AN ARTIST OVER SHOP. Research their work and don't just go to someone because your family or friend recommended them. Look at their work and decide for yourself. I got really lucky with finding an artist an hour away from me that does some of the cleanest traditional work I've seen.
I'm getting a new one tomorrow (my first flourescent - doodle styled tattoo) tattooed by my best friend at his place - he made the design and will do the action.. I have 3 tattoos at the moment which can all be covered by a T-Shirt depending on sleeve lenght, that's why I prefer boxy shirts because they tend to have longer sleeves. Right Shoulder - compass rose with script beneath "won't stray from the path", Chest - eagle wings with a sandhour in the middle all over my chest with script beneath with fitting roses around the nipples "time is the enemy" & Left Shoulder - a junk ship with japanese waves and script "homewardbound") ; my first ever a friend drew the design for me and the design for my chestpiece and left shoulder I drew myself (tattooed by a friend I knew through graffiti who works at a shop; I also was the first person he ever tattooed on in real life and ever since then I go to this guy). I only have got black and white ones now since I find them to be aesthetically more pleasing on people with tan/darker skin.. In most asian guys cases (light skinned) colors might also work well; really bright red, yellow, blue, orange, green tones might work but since I'm darker than even some of my black friends I tend to do only black and white. Another thing with colored tattoos is that you have to get them redone every 3-5 years because the color will be fading over time; with black & white it would be about 7-10 years for re-inking. In general I prefer to get stuff tattooed that either friends of mine or I, myself drew the design of because of the more personal meaning with quotes or song names from my favourite hardcore punk and metal bands but overall I stick with black & white traditional naval styled or asian styled tattoos.
Thanks for the tattoo video finally. You provided great info. I have 2 tattoos myself so it’s cool to see what you have to say. I love your work though Richie🔥.
Bro I do 4-5 hour sessions and I waited 3 weeks before I went back in to do shading after that 4 hours of line work. You’re crazy for doing 10 hour sessions and 3 days in a row!
Good convo on tattoos. We see the sleeves, but what is Richie chest tattoo of? Just wondering how it ties into the sleeves. Kind of like going to see Mona Lisa, and not able to see the nose. 🤣
i thought the pain would hurt like bad but after 30 mins it felt pretty numb, only part that hurt was when my artist took a break and went back on,, now that that hurt bad or right after when the ink is leaking out and it just stung bad
Good video, I’ve literally got my outline done, got deployed for 6 months (not by choice) and had to get shading after. Luckily it turned out great lol
I was in my late teens/early 20s when I got like 95% of my tattoos... and I wouldn’t say I regret them, BUT I’m not super proud of them either lol. It was in the early 2010’s and wiz was popping and he was heavily tattooed, Lil Wayne is heavily tattooed and I just wanted to mimick that look, now I just have a full sleeve of just random shit no theme or certain style and they’re honestly not the best work lol. But oh well they all tell a story about me and what I was going through when I was those ages. But if I could go back I would forsure not have rushed them and would’ve put more thought into them.
I’m 17 and I have 6 random things all over me. And I don’t regret it at all. I like the look of random things all over the place. They’re all a good story to tell
I feel it bro! Thats also a good way of looking at it too though. Just a reflection of what you were thinking and going through at the time. Can't regret that.
i have 2 full sleeves and adding more to leg maybe, only cuz i already have a good career. it felt weird when only had 1 sleeve, like it needs to be balanced lol same when i had half sleeve, felt like the space needs to be filled. it's truly addicting once u get ur 1st one
I got tats a couple years ago and I haven’t been able to get more because money is tight and I’m out of college. Really wish I had this video when I was first deciding. I went the “per hour” route rather than a session and that probably would have been better. Granted I still love my tattoos and I don’t regret them but I still have the thought of “what if I went this route”. Regardless two things are for sure, Richie has some nice tattoos and I’m gonna start saving up again for them.
Been planning to get my entire chest done since high school following the same artist since 2013. $1200 for a 8 hour session. Friend whose gone got all the lines done on his arm sleeve plus some shading in areas. Still has to go in for another session but I think those are good prices to look at when getting these asian style pieces. Imo the better tattoos i've seen never usually have any meaning but at the end of the day its your body do what you want.
Glad you said nothing is perfect. It's art and everyone like different things so what's perfect to some in lame for others. Im down for American Traditional bold lines , clean but more basic. Other like fine line with crazy details..to me that is girly but each there own. Hopefully people asking about your work actually look outside this "hype beast" corner of the net swell.
We asked and Richie delivered I’m not gonna say anything else 😂😂
Johnny would look like an asian gangsta rocking a tattoo
look up buc noi, westcoast rapper, he’d look like buc noi if he got tattoos lmao
@@quieres107 yea manXD
Yakuza vibes bro
Word give him some shades and a suit and he’d look like yakuza
Johnny the gay gangster 😂

Fire video
Rich I thought it’s a Vietnamese jesus man, what a disappointment.lol

First time watching Richie in months and I still see the “Richie the type” comments. My day has been made
Lol

Right, I hate when they ask me what my tattoos mean or why I got them and I tell them that I just like the look and they get all weird about it
@@jesusbaena8435 facts. im not old enough to get tattoos but when i do i know I'll prob get some that just look good to me.
Facts

Right , like you get em to help your appearance not hinder it so it totally matters

A video idea, Jonny should talk about hair loss, a lot of guys go through this even in high school.
Shiiiet might have to!
Holy shit I watched this dude back in freshman year of high school when he only had 40k subscribers now I just randomly saw this video and he’s at 1.9m, respect for this dude’s grind 💯
You got one of the hardest sleeves rich!
He really does! I wish i chose a better artist for mine
Thank you brotha
Larry Rogers same I fucked up !
Then got scarred up by the wrong laser
@Blue 30's do you see the quality tho?
i cant lie his tats are crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As someone with a lot of tattoos, the only criticism that I have for Riche's advice is the idea of always thinking of what other people will think about your pieces / how they may look at you. I think that the most important thing is what you yourself thinks about them and that's it
As an artist, that also met Richie at H&M in Waikiki, Richie did a great job with a non-artist perspective. Big ups and respect💪🏼💪🏼
Ayyy! Been awhile, I gotta get back there. Respect bro.
Loved this, more of these longer chilled conversational videos please Rich
Bryan Vargas is the man! Been following him for a long time & might book him some day.
FINALLY BOOKED WITH BRYAN!!!!
Make a vid about what happened with MNML
What happened ?
Not sure but rumors say that Richie doesn't like MNML because they copy other brands
@@pentime4431 they were still doing that when he supported them lmao
@Rangda plagiarize and copy means the same thing
Hmmm..
Love you doing this video, yes we requested it a lot. I gave my artist a reference photo for Athena (massive bottom piece of my sleeve) and he totally transformed it into something way better than I imagined. Breathe deep when they're hitting those pain points truly.
One of the most interesting and intriguing videos Richie has ever done, and there's not a Richie Le vid ion like 😂
The very first tattoo place I went to had a sign that read "good tattoos aren't cheap, and cheap tattoos aren't good". The first thing you saw when you walked in, always kept that in mind.
Finally a tattoo vid we’ve all been waiting for
loving this video just bros talking 🙆🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️
Yeah Richie! 🔥 always wanted a tat based video from you! This should stick around as a series!
This was a dope video! Super informative and really making me think harder about what I want, how I want it, and the repercussions of getting it. Preciate you Richie!
Yessir!
Rich I been waiting on this vid and you didnt disappoint you got some of the coolest sleeves out there
I am 16 currently and im planning to get a sleeve when I turn 18. Luckily for me, I have an uncle who's non-related really but he's one of the top 10 tattoo artist in my country. We are very closes and he's tatted pretty much everyone who has tattoos in my family
Who’s your uncle?

Love Bryan Vargas work, clean tatts rich
Richie finally did posted the sought after tattoo video 😩
this was a really good vid, dropped a ton of knowledge. & your tattoos are amazing I may have to get at your artist

Does anybody know what the statue is called on richies right arm? That tat is too fire 🔥

This had been insightful since i plan on getting a tattoo someday.
Came back to this comment i made a year ago. Finally just got my first tattoo yesterday.
Oh yeah we live!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

much needed, brought a lot to my attention. It's a lot to consider.

How do you feel about RockrollG
Do tattoos get deformed if you gain weight through working out (weight lifting/muscle gain)
8:53 whats the background song 🎶
Good video, I’ve literally got my outline done, got deployed for 6 months (not by choice) and had to get shading after. Luckily it turned out great lol
Dope!!
@@richiele thanks, and continue the great content my dude
Sooooo
What happened with MNML Richie?
Lowkey.. fiiiireee episode! Now i want a sleeve. 😅😅😅
Awesome video! Nice tattoo Richie.
Tan Tangs first tattoo is going to be of the nike react element
People still do these corny ass jokes in 2020🤣💀
Where are those shirts Richie and Tan are wearing from, super dope.
johnyy should do a vid on hair loss so the many viewers who will experience it can take advice from the goat
Hell yeah. Great video man.

This vid was much needed
this was a hella good video, love shit like dat🤘🏿
Aftercare question, does it matter what soap, ointment, lotion, or sunscreen I use after my tattoo is fully healed?
Finally the tat vid!!!
" MAN you ain't ready for a tattoo den" lmaoo
BRYAN VARGES IS THE GOAT MY NUMBER ONE TAT GUY LOVE BRO!

Why did Richie remove all of the vids from the carmunity channel
been waiting for this
Ayyy let’s go, starting my morning off the right way with your videos 🔥 Fall Collection otw too!!
A video I didn’t know I needed until now
Ngl Richie’s tattoos are much better than lots of celebrities man
Thanks for the video was just about to tattoo a turtle on my face this video helped a lot.
Finally a tattoo video !
I have been thinking of getting a tattoo and have a vision of what I want but I don't have a reference
getting a tattoo of a 6 pack so i dont have to go to the gym
Lmao
Anyone know what the angel statue is called ??
Wonder what the aging process is like. What if I got hella jacked would the tats be distorted.
your tattoo is freaking amazing 🔥🔥
How much did one of your sleeves cost? How many sessions did one sleeve take?
Been planning to get my entire chest done since high school following the same artist since 2013. $1200 for a 8 hour session. Friend whose gone got all the lines done on his arm sleeve plus some shading in areas. Still has to go in for another session but I think those are good prices to look at when getting these asian style pieces.

That angel tattoo is so nice
Does the tattoo look different if you get bigger/ put on more size then from when you got it ?
Now I just need the wealth for the tattoos I want lol those you have bro are honestly super tough 🔥
Finally!!! Lets gooooo
I want a dagger tattoo on my neck but it's too risky 😩
Does the scale of a Tattoo get changed when u start to work out? Like if you get a tattoo when ur skinny and end up beeing hulk (and vice versa)?
Big boy Johnny... I’m gonna need that Kobe heavyweight shirt .. it’s Clean af
This went hard
Fire vid man👍 the tats are fire. Tan married now? What’s your view on hand tattoo?
When the heavyweights kobe shirt dropping?👀
This the video I ain’t know I needed
Tan would look SICK with a whole neck tatt!!!
I know highly respected Doctors and Teachers with tattoos. If you want them, get them. Simple as that.
This was a great informative video fr
