Funny thing, when I bought my first tat kit to start learning, it came with bug pin 3RL's and I couldn't figure out why my lines were so awful lol. So I ended up learning how to do my lines on super small needles and got good at it, then when I switched over to a standard 7RL or something of the sort, my lines looked like they were done by a robot because they were so straight and smooth. Totally accidental but it helped I guess lmao
Thank you so much iv been waiting on this one
Hope you enjoyed it!
The 5 on that is the size of the tip. Like you said the bug pin 7 is the size of a 5. So they pair it with a 5 tip.
Thanks, didn’t know the difference between 10s and 12s.
diameter
Great video 🙌🏾
Thank you so much once again! W.e my question is you’re poppin up!
This taught me a lot that being said shoutout that akatsuki cloud
This is what i been looking for
Thank you very much this video really really helpfull 😇🔥
Maybe go over all needle types and what they mean and are used for?
We have tons of free useful resources on our website, even all about different types of needles. Check it out here tattooing101.com/learn/tattoo-equipment/needles/
@@Tattooing101 thanks! I also found the other playlist just now sorry about that
What voltage do you use with your standards, I want to know the difference between your usage of standard to big pins.
I was also curious. You stated you turned it down to 7 for the buggies. Were you at 8 for the standards? Thanks brotha
Super cool, thanks man !
No problem!
thank you very much for the video :)
i have a question 😅
isnt it so that there is not a huge difference if you choose a standard 12 03RL or for example a 10 05RL? i mean they make both about the same thick lines right?
so is it better to have a thicker gauge but less needles, or a thinner gauge but with more needles? :)
I notice that I get better lines using a 10 07 RS opposed to a 12 05 RL .
So I always use 10 7 RS 9 and 11 .
I use bugpins for shading ( b & g stuff) as in curve magnums
08 13 RM and up
And for colours I use 10 RM .
I think that 12 RL RS and RM are too much for skin tho they are good for traditional tattoos
But then again I think is a matter of personal choice 🤔
So a bugpin 7rl is like a standard 1205round liner. Which a standard rl is a 0.35 mm correct? So if I were to buy a bugpin 0.25mm 7rl you are saying to turn down the voltage on the tat pen because it will shred the skin more ? What voltage should I set it at ?
What power do you use on standards?
Where should I order stuff like inks needles. Ex.
Im having difficulty tattooing the meaty parts of the body like the upper arm, stomach, and thigh. I try to line with a 9rl with my voltage set at 10 and it seems that my needle doesnt penetrate the skin well. Any tips?
it all comes down to the stretch, if you can get them in a postiion that part of the body is naturally stretched out, it helps a lot
@@Tattooing101 thanks for the feedback bruh
@@StromLxrd6 of course, just like i was telling my apprentice over the weekend, you also wanna find that sweet spot of speed, voltage, depth, and angle. once you find that its wayyyy smoother.
Hi, what stroke do you use for lining with bug pins?
3.5stroke
Do they make any difference for stick n poke?
U said not Amazon for beginning what u think
i'm a artist from Brazil, i saw at Aliexpress a EZ cartridge, could you approache this kind needle cartridge next?
Ez 😂😂 too low
The five might be the tube size the needle is sitting in possibly.
What do you prefeer? 00 or standard?Witch is best for the skin?
Depends on the tattoo you are doing both can work great depending on the style
Bugpin #08 gauge 0.25mm
Double 00 #10 gauge 0.30mm
Standard #12 gauge 0.35mm
I thought bug pins were double 00?
I found that bug pen needles cut fake skin really easy
And real skin
Hey brother I have some tight 14 0.33 needle what would it compare to like a standard 11?
By bugpin you mean 8 or 10? And how would this rule of (-2) size points work with 8/12 and 10/12?
10s are technically called double zeros but mostly all tattoo artist call 10s bug pins
Let's go brandon 😂👌♥️🔥💯💯
Can I ask for a tattoo machine?
Hey, so for fineline and tiny tattoos you'd rather use bugpins?
For the outline you wanna use 12’s but you could def work a small tattoo with a bug pin
Lol I'm going to stick with 12s
What voltage should I use for lining and what voltage for packing colour.
THis vid is a bit confusing, first you said if you want more saturated thin lines use bugpin, and later if you want more saturated lines use standart, which one gives you more saturation then in comparable sizes lest say 7 standart vs 9 bugpin should be roughly same size line?
It depends on you look you are trying to get big pins work great for small groupings but I’ve never issue a bugpin bigger than a 7. From there you can use a regular liner just fine. I mainly use bugpins for my mags doing more black and gray styles
@@Tattooing101 But im trying to figure out if it make sense to use bugpins at all as liners, they damage skin more, you gotta slow down hand speed, and they are less forgiving and you can achieve pretty much the same with standart size, looks like its better to just line with 0.35 all the time and shade with bugpins.
@ripper9112 they don't necessarily damage the skin more running single pass lines. A bugpin 5rl will make a more saturated line the size of a standard 3rl, but since there's more needles in the same size area, there will be more skin resistance when running the bugpins, so they don't cut through as easily.
@ripper9112 I use 10 gauge 3rl for everything though. Lining and shading.
So when using a bug pin I need to turn my speed down to make it not cut through the fakeskin
Yes defiantly turn the voltage down
@@Tattooing101 thanks so much
