can you post some tutorials bro? you literally have some of the best & ONLY single needle content on youtube and you are my primary source for reference
hahaha I have a monopoly on this 😈
I'm thinking of creating and holding some workshops in the future. But that's only good for small groups and only in-person.
I can also do commentary while tattooing instead of silence.
I'm 30 and have a family so sometimes I just want to go to work and not record so I can focus on the tattoo. And when I'm home I want to do what I enjoy so I don't burn out. I don't always want to be editing and YouTubing. But I will make these things happen when I have that extra time and energy ofc.
I'm figuring it out! in the meantime keep practicing drawing and training your hand. That makes up 80% of all of this anyways.
Hey we talked about this tattoo in Instagram DM, about the cleanness of the box shading, I am glad now i have the chance to see the process of this work!
yes! im glad you can see for yourself. In hindsight I think I should've used a mag for the wider areas, away from the corners to save time.
@@jjjaylud but of course; you're stubborn :P
I commend you on showing this, we're all human and mistakes happen. We're better artists and humans by admitting it and doing whatever we can do remedy it. Well done!
Yes! The only thing we can do it suck up our pride and make it right. Our clients don't deserve it so we can't put that on them.
Appreciate it man.
Previous tattoo checks out
thank you for doing this!
You are the best. Thanks!
you're very welcome
Very nice! I love to see tattoo artists who really have an artistic background and anatomy knowledge... it is very rare nowadays, sadly. Im an artist and a week ago i bought my first tattoo kit just to try and see if its really for me and its a very nice experience. I was curios why do you tattoo that big black background with one needle? Doesnt it take too long and is hurting the skin more than a big shader?
Thank you man
I hope tattooing is for you and if not, there are countless other mediums that could be meant for you.
It's impractical yes but Im stubborn in that way. I don't know why I'm so averse to switching cartridges. I know it's more work using the single but the thought of stopping and switching is so off-putting to me. Maybe when I'm in the zone I don't want to stop for anything and be snapped out of it?
Hi @jjjaylud8963! this video is amazing! I have a question, when you make a gradient, do you superimpose line by line, or do you pose in "Z" please?
Do you mean if I stroke the skin on the down and the up? So both instead of just one way?
If that's what you mean, then yes I shade mostly striking both the down and up. sometimes it is only one side if I want to be more careful. I do both.
@@jjjaylud Thank you so much! :)
Do you use numbing cream, or any pain reliever medication on your client skin, While tattooing?
I never do because I hear it changes the skin and the way it takes in ink. I’m also very light handed so no need. Also, I believe pain is good for you especially controlled pain like a tattoo session.
You are amazing! I have an issue tattooing with 1 RL I use Cheyenne pen hawk with Cheyenne cartridges and the ink does not fall. Is there any trick for this? Do you dilue the ink with a bit of water? Thank you in advance
It's because Cheyenne 1RL is not good. Try Kwadron 12-01RL LT. I use this.
Great work! Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
Hello can i know when you shading , is your ink is full black or else ?i would love to improve my skill and i follow your exemple video, your texture is perfect honestly ! Is my goal. If you can help me with it i will be very happy
I use full black yes but I rely heavily on technique. And I think because of that, I don't recommend you try it unless you spend a lot of time practicing this before you try on real skin. It is easy to mess up and tattoo is permanent. I started doing this later in my career.
Using grey mixes is more forgiving so consider that please.
What needle did you use for shading the background?
Love your work btw!
Kwadron 12-01RL LT and 100% Black ink for everything. Only changing technique and layers to get different tones!
Hi, I'm your big fan. Except for the darkest black, do you make a tone by stacking layers without putting needles deep like in the video?
yes I layer to get the tone I want but I also go deeper or shallower too, very slightly because I don't want to risk going too deep or shallow. I can layer at a shallow level or I can layer at a deeper level. So by changing combinations of deep, shallow, and layer amount, I can get what I want!
I can't identify the movement you are making for that soft shading. Is it pendulum? Straightforward? Both?
Its a straightforward up and down and moving slightly to the right so only one or two passes the same area once. And when I layer it I try to change the angle so it's cross layered. I often go back if one or more strokes or a small area was too light. or if a spot or stroke is too dark I must even it out everywhere too.
can ı do it with 0803 Mast tattoo neddles
I never tried mast cartridge so I cannot say. If it is 3RL then the little ink dots will be bigger. It can be done yes but it will look different.
Hello, I am a fan from China. My English is not very good, and I even need to leave you a message with the help of an interpreter. Can you introduce the appearance of the picture you transfer to the skin, not hand-painted, and what kind of printer you use to combine with what kind of transfer ink? Thank you very much!
Thank you!
I use an Epson printer 3170 or 3000 series and I pour the purple stencil ink liquid into the printer ink tank. You can buy the purple liquid online and it is kind of expensive because they have a patent on it. I use photoshop to prepare the image. I try to increase contrast and sharpness so the printed stencil is very nice to work with.
@@jjjaylud thank you so much！
Voltage is sounds like 5.5ish. Is it the actual voice of this particular video? Also when I position myself like you while tattooing(looking behind from the tip), starting from lower left (I'm lefty) always make me rush because of my tattooing hand, putting or moving on the stencil. So do you think that starting from upper left is a good idea for me? Thanx for these amazing videos.
I prerecorded the noise from my machine. It should be around that voltage yes. You can go higher too I bumped it up slightly recently. Just have a softer touch if the machine or voltage is stronger to balance I’d say?
Yes go with the area where your machine hand won’t touch the stencil to prevent stencil fading.
Hi @jjjaylud which product do you use for transfering the stencil to the skin?
Good ol Stencilstuff
you really inspired me to go for single needle all the way as I had always wanted but you gave me the last push really, thanks for that. I tried my first last week but it seemed so gray in color and scratchish(it turned into a good black in a couple of days maybe it was about the skin type of my customer) however I had a big problem about letting the ink into the skin I also use cheyenne 3.5 and tattoo at 5.8-6v but maybe it is because of cartridges. I use wjx cartridges as I find them to be the best for price and quality. Do you think it is about cartridges that it does not get injected? I use dynamic black as ink. also do you pack with 6v as well or higher? Thanks in advance you became the tutor I've been looking for as I do not like the works and techniques of artists in my city.
I think cartridge brand's quality matters. and the diameter and taper too. And I use 7-7.5V one my sol nova 3.5.
I use Cheyenne 12-01RL LT for all my tattoos.
@@jjjaylud thank you for the answer, I thought you were using kwadrons. Do you also use the responsive mode? I couldn't get how does it work actually, it seems to stabilize the piercing process but I don't know what is actually for
@@tinytude Oh crap no I am using Kwadron. I just made a mistake hahaha. I do not use responsive mode. It is used for making it easier to not go too deep. Like it makes the needle hit softer when it feels it is touching skin. But I don't like this because it makes you depend on it compared to you training your hand to control depth yourself and not the machine helping you control depth. You can try it though
@@jjjaylud hahaha no no it's okk. Thanks again for the enlightenment. I think I shouldn't think of my budget at this point and switch to kwadrons as well. I have one last question for you If it is not too many already. Do you apply saniderm to the tattoos after you make them? or just use the traditional method and applying soothing creams? I recommend aveeno for my clients but I do not apply saniderm to fresh tattoo, just wrapping with a stretch and ask them to keep it until the next day. Then, clean with unscented soaps and applying the cream a couple of times with pores on tattooed area open, not covered.
@@tinytude I use dermshield from recovery. If it is bleeding a lot, which is not common when you tattoo finalize with a light hand, I don't like to use sandier or dermshield. But I always use my dermshield because There is very little bleeding.
Either way is fine I think.
awesome
• Can I ask do you use
wet wipes during the work? Many
thanks
wet wipes? Do you mean green soap with paper towel? yes but only when I am about to take a break(every 1-1.5 hours) because it will wipe away the stencil if I wipe too much with greensoap.
@@jjjaylud thank you for your reply. Sorry for my poor English 😂Let me explain it more clearly, I mean during the process, are you going to moisturize the paper towel with water? Coz I found I always couldn’t wipe the ink very well during the process, which makes my shadow very hard to be seen clearly.
@@user-lv2ub1rt2u Yes I use green soap mixture(10%greensoap90%distilled water)
Love your work man! Just a question tho, are you using a bugpin single needle? I used a standard gauge #12 single needle before but it always looks thick whenever I try to make a thin line unlike yours. It also seems like it scars my client's skin so I always end up using a standard 3rl. I run my machine in 6 V btw.
Hey, I'm not too sure why that's happening to you.
But I use a 1rl 12 gauge long taper and run it at about 6v too. I don't think you can bugpin one needle so ill assume you thought this was a 3rl? haha
@@jjjaylud I've been scouring the internet all night but it seems like the reason why I always end up scaring my clients is because of my machine. I believe the stroke/throw also plays a role in single-needle tattooing. I am currently using a 4mm stroke which apparently hits harder compared to a medium stroke which is around 3.5mm. So I'm curious if you are using a 4mm as well or are you using the 3.6mm stroke version for your sol nova. Thanks for your insights tho, really appreciate it.
@@blaketiosen1348 I use the 3.5. I never tried 4mm but from what I've heard, its supposed to hit harder yeah
P.e.r.f.e.c.t 🤌
hello wich tickness are you using habitually
I always use Kwadron 12-01RL LT
4:47 Rugged customer. He has a tattooed neck now, which is one of the painiest places ;)
do you use greywash too or strictly just black ink?
Strictly black. I have a few videos about that esp the “transitioning to single needle and black” video. It’s much more difficult but can be achieved with only black. Be careful!
Awesome thanks! I’m new to this, only practicing on fake skin but trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible. Love your videos🤙🏼
@@cory4509 no problem.try all styles and techniques and then see which one fits you best
@@jjjaylud how do you achieve the soft and light shading with strictly black? im curious, is it the depth or the voltage? or adding water to it?
@@eriko5975 I have a video about it called "transitioning to single needle and black"
skip to the part (second half of vid) to where I talk about transitioning your reliance on greywash to only black ink. its depth, voltage, speed, layering, and lots of hand techniques. its tricky so be very careful using this
This is 1rl or 3rl?э
1RL!
What kind of pen use it?
Sol nova Unlimited 3.5
