Man, I can't believe I'm getting free education from you! You deserve more recognization. I have alot of respect for you for sharing your hard work techniques to us. Much love keep it up! ❤️❤️
Dude! Hands down the THE best shading tutorial on the net. Even better imo than those costly tattoo courses "taught by world class tattoo artist". I LOVE how you explained what, when, and how you'll best use these shading techniques for. Most ppl just say "ok I'm doing this pendulum stoke here", but never say why they are doing that
I'm learning so much from this channel! I'm one of those really non artistic guys, but I'm learning how to do simple tattoos and I need to be shown how to do something. This is amazing. Thanks Brandon!
Thank you, I’ve watched so many of your videos and I’ve been practicing on fake skin using your advice, I outlined a flower last night and while it’s not the best, it’s definitely not the worst. Practice makes perfect and your videos keep me motivated :)
Finally! In the german tattoo community they usually make a big secret out of the techniques.. Mostly telling you to become an apprentice to an artist. - Which is easier said than done over here. Thanks alot, subscribed for sure! Greets from germany.
@@byancafigueroa3941 yeah! i'm seeing a lot of improvement. it's getting easier. i just started doing them on myself lol. how about you?? :) hope it's going well!!!
Its definitely helping get through whatever I'm going through at this moment.....i haven't tattooed in about a year because of things beyond my control and you articulate and explain things I thought I forgot in the simplest form. KEEP IT UP 💯
I just started my tattooing career and shading has been giving me a hard time but after watching this video and the different techniques of shading i think imma do much better ..thanksss soo much
Great video thank you!! Perhaps I missed it but some info on voltage and stroke length would be very helpful!! I learning shading right now and so far I’ve had decent results running at 6 volts with a 2.8mm stroke.
your tutorials feels like a bob ross vibes 😁😊 it makes me calm and understand easily. 😊 this kind of videos we need espcly for beginners cause it explaines so clear. Keep on posting videos. Thank u so much! 😊
I really appreciate these videos man. Instructions are clear and easy to understand and it’s great having visual examples to work with. Just started learning how to run my machine and this is extremely helpful
I came from PMU background but I was always drawn to tattooing. Tried few on friends and fam but that’s where the journey stopped… :( I’m so happy to join your 10 day course! Your tutorials r best I’ve ever found online. Let it happen 🥳
Would like to start off saying that I hardly ever comment on anything on RUclips but this video helped me out so much I had to say something. It has help me so much. Thank you
I'm new to tattooing and I've found your videos very, very helpful. Loved this video. Hopefully, I can finish what I'm doing on myself and show you! 😁👌🏼🤪
Thanks for the helpful information in using different techniques and motions and knowing what terms they are too. In just that video alone that you did for us,helped me answer some of the questions I had for techniques but never did the other ppl or videos showed what you did with actual explanation u know. So with that said,thank you and it was much appreciated bro. 🤜 💯
Thx a lot making these Typ of Videos ! This Video helps me so many to learn Shade a smoth Transition! Now i know to buy bugpin curved mags and the whip and pendulum technik and voila it comes to a very smoth Transition ! Thx for Your content,you save a lot ppl from do it wrong! Best whishes from Austria Vienna 🇦🇹🤙😉
I learned alot of trying to perfect my skills its just hard from how I started in prison to now my machines are old but cause we went thru a big pandemic I had to work twice as hard. My machines are out dated but I takes me twice as long and harder and heavier. I thank you for helping with my skill . I dont want to give up!
thank you for this terrific video, i hope you make another to talk about how you set up your ink.. and also how you do to blend in the outlining within the shading process, so that it wouldn't appear later, i mean to look rather closer to realistic.. thank you in advance
If you're talking about realism I don't think realism tattoos use heavy lines it's just different tones, one of the reasons it's so hard. Humans aren't made up of hard lines just contrasting shadows.
I don't know if you do this, but I see a lot of people using mags as almost liners. For highlighting leaves & stuff like that. Giving like a 5-7 line accent to the design. I haven't seen anyone teaching this either. Just a thought, hope all is well. Thanks for the tips.
Thats a great question, and i have done it and know artist that still do it but I personally just choose to use a round shader or a bigger liner for areas like that. But I will definitely make a video about it to help out.
@@Tattooing101 I think it's the thin separated lines that caught my eye. I've got a few leaves on my leg to fill in. Gonna practice & see if I can figure it out, but would be an awesome tutorial, thanks
Just discovered your channel. People have been telling me I should tattoo because of my art so my girl bought me a tattoo gun and I'm starting the journey.
Ok so I am 13 and I am getting my tattoo gun practice thing tomorrow and like really really excited because I love this art and all art so much, I just have so idea what I’m doing rn but do not worry I am researching 😭💪
Bro I just realized I’m good friends with winham! That’s crazy. I can’t believe I just realized who you were and one of your videos I looked up your shop and was like yep that’s him, you’ve been teaching me techniques to better my work for a long time now! Small world thanks for the good tips!
I don’t think you’ll see this comment after 2 years buttt what liner did you use for this? And i literally have been watching a lottttt of your videos. Your the best bro

@@byancafigueroa3941 yeah! i'm seeing a lot of improvement. it's getting easier. i just started doing them on myself lol. how about you?? :) hope it's going well!!!
Same i even bought a bunch of fake skins and still dont use them just use ly entire leg , i pretty much have a calf sleeve !…
At what voltage did you work? Do you use different voltages for each shading tecnique? Thank you 💜
Following!! Bc I came to ask the same question
Good question
I'm my opinion, it kind of varies. When I pack I use 7.0 shading I use lower like 6.5 or even 5.0. That's just me tho.
Literally the most in detail video I've come across while showing it being done. Thank u!!
Thank you!!! Knowing your light source helps too when shading!
Its definitely helping get through whatever I'm going through at this moment.....i haven't tattooed in about a year because of things beyond my control and you articulate and explain things I thought I forgot in the simplest form. KEEP IT UP 💯

Question: what voltage is your power supply on when shading? Also how far out do we put our needle when shading typically? Does that matter?
Voltage for shading is usually between 8 and 10
This is what I missed out..would be much better if include what voltage used.. but still love the content..
