It was pointed out to me that the question mark was backwards. Sad to say I flipped the image for the opposite arm and while I flipped the other words I completely missed the question mark on the tie. Another lesson in Attention to ALL the details. Thanks for watching everyone and thank you SOO much for all the support!🤘🤘🙏🙏🤘🤘
It happens I've been tattooing for around 35 years now and I've had stuff like that happen more then once, you try to hurry cause you don't want the guy just sitting around waiting on you and sometimes you miss little things like that it happens to us all. Great tattoo and good video work.
WOW, I have tattoo envy for real!!! Who remembers the old, old batman series where animated "pow, boom, bam" etc came up with contact,and every episode had a new "holy such and such Batman" to fit the episode!!!
Incredible work Dave. Love watching! As a newer tattoo artist, I am always learning something new just watching you work. Keep it up my brother. And, Steve, Thank You for Your Service! And for allowing Dave to share your experience with us!
Thank you SOO much Christopher really appreciate the kind words and support!! And yes big thanks to Steve for the trust and for his honorable service!! Thanks again Christopher and best of luck to you brother as you continue down this awesome journey!!🤘🙏🤘
Badass work my brother!! I'm a HUGE Batman nerd but I haven't committed on a Batman piece yet. Would love you to do a Michael Keaton Batman black and grey piece on me! God bless and keep it going!!
I had yet to do a batman piece but this was deff a lot of fun. And yeah a Michael Keaton batman in black and grey would be sick man! Thanks again for the support Ben and God Bless you too my friend!🤘🙏
Dav all I can say is wow your a amazing tattoo artist love your work .maybe on day could you do a big dragon peace if some one come in wanting that .bc I want to see how you do your dragons thanks so much for the content
Thank you SO much Michael!! Really appreciate that and yes I will certainly do a large dragon and record it the next time something like that comes in!🤘🙏🤘
Awesome job, looks amazing! I do have a question though, how do you get white to stay in the skin?? I have Dynamic White Extra White & regular Dynamic White and I cant seem to get the skin to take either. No matter how I tattoo the white, different needles etc., it always bleeds and the white never saturates the skin. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
White is a tricky one and is hard to explain via words or text. I will say the white you use makes a difference that is for sure. I have really been enjoying Star brite white. I would suggest giving them a try and see if that helps. Also it seems to me that dots and lines seem to hold up the best when it comes to putting white in.
Nicely done, vibrant looking detail. You can see all that on his arm from a fair distance. I like those kind of tattoos! btw do you have any idea, when you'll do another live?
THank you SOOO much Smoke for all the support brother both on the vids and in all the live streams its always great having you my friend!!🤘🙏 And we should be on for a live stream at least once this week either a tattoo or a tattoo critique vid. But if nothing else this Sunday we will be back on schedule. I had some dental work done and things went bad, had to take a week off and move all my clients around but things are looking up now and should be getting back on track soon. Thanks for the patients my friend!🤘🙏🤘
I wish you the very best of luck as you start down this tattoo journey! Keep your head up and keep pushing. I appreciate the support and I hope the channel can really help you out along the way. And I will certainly let you know if/when im in NC. 🤘🤘
So how quick can you go back into a tattoo to finish/add more? Do you not have to let it heal all the way if it’s just the next day? Or do you have to wait the month or few weeks to go back in.
Great job Dave! Quick question. How do you get such a detailed stencil to stay detailed? Evertime I have a detailed stencil, overtime it tends to "bleed", for lack of a better word, and create a big blue/purple mess. I use speedstick to apply my stencils and it seems no matter how much I use I end up with this problem.
First off I wouldnt use a speed stick, while it works it just doesnt work well as you have found. I used stencil stuff for along time and really liked that but I have switched to Anchored and really like how it holds. Best advice is apply the solution and keep rubbing it in until its just a little tacky not very wet at all. Then apply stencil, push stencil down hold for a few seconds then take stencil paper off skin. The next step is VERY important and that is to let it dry for about 15 min. I have a video all about this on the channel but I hope this helps.
Hey.. awesome piece. My question is... what white are you using? I have so much problem with mine. Same with the lighter colors. But the white has been my nemesis since the beginning. Thanks for all you do. I'm a fan. =)
I used the CNCQ2 for a while and its a great machine but I switched to bishop. So I use the bishop wand shader for shading and the bishop wand packer for packing color and lining.
I got some questions for the more experienced artists on here. I’m new at this. Like 3 months in and although my line work already looks like I’ve been doing it for quite some time I’m running into some very discouraging problems with shading, and color packing. My color looks beautiful and bold upon completion but after it heals it’s blotchy and inconsistent as shit (yes it’s on my own leg) and I’m not sure if the throw of my needle is too shallow or what but also afraid to go too deep in fear of blowing something out. Can anyone help with some questions please??
More the likely you are not putting the ink deep enough into the skin and are more then likely moving to fast at the same time. Put the needles a bit deeper and slow your hand down and that should solve the problem. Remember it may still take a few attempts until you get the feel for it but keep at it.🤘
@@ArtSomething alright thank you. I’ll apply what you said and see how it goes. It’s just strange because while I’m doing it it looks like it’s in there nice and solid and looks great but after the skin flakes off (fortunate there’s been no heavy scabbing) (besides with red ink for some reason) it’s real pale, blotchy and not in there at all. So I’ll try what you mentioned and see what happens.

The one backwards ? Makes it a 1.of akind don't bet ur self up on that I think its kool
It happens I've been tattooing for around 35 years now and I've had stuff like that happen more then once, you try to hurry cause you don't want the guy just sitting around waiting on you and sometimes you miss little things like that it happens to us all. Great tattoo and good video work.
Bro don't even sweat that honestly cuz the larger "?" Would have had to be changed and then you wouldn't have the same flow
WOW, I have tattoo envy for real!!! Who remembers the old, old batman series where animated "pow, boom, bam" etc came up with contact,and every episode had a new "holy such and such Batman" to fit the episode!!!
Holy cow Batman! That's you!

I am interested in tattoos. I am about to start. Your videos seem very informative and helpful. Thanks. Also, if you are ever in NC I want some ink
I wish you the very best of luck as you start down this tattoo journey! Keep your head up and keep pushing. I appreciate the support and I hope the channel can really help you out along the way. And I will certainly let you know if/when im in NC. 🤘🤘
Nice 🔥
Thanks 🔥🤘🙏
What did you use to line with? Bishop wand packer?
So how quick can you go back into a tattoo to finish/add more? Do you not have to let it heal all the way if it’s just the next day? Or do you have to wait the month or few weeks to go back in.
At this point I would wait a month for it to heal then go back in if it needs touched up or what not.
So when you say day 2 , is that the very next day ?
Yes the very next day.

Thanks for all you do. I'm a fan. =)
Thank you Judith much appreciated! And I use star brite white and it seems to work pretty well. And thank you again for all the support!🤘🙏
@@ArtSomething omg!! Just tried the Bright White!!! That worked beautifully... I was impressed. Thanks for this information. Game changer. 🤗
Hey Dave- great work as always! Quick question: what machine/machines did you use for this tattoo?
Thank you Graffics much appreciated brother🤘🙏 And I used the Bishop Wand Packer for the whole thing.
@@ArtSomething nice! I was split between the packer & shader & went with the packer because I have a bunch of softer hitting machines for shading.
Are you using the cncq2?
I used the CNCQ2 for a while and its a great machine but I switched to bishop. So I use the bishop wand shader for shading and the bishop wand packer for packing color and lining.
What brand of needles do I use for this tattoo?
What kind of red ink is that? And does it stay like really dark after the tattoo is healed?
I believe that was crimson red by eteranal. And Yeah it heals pretty much the same.
@@ArtSomething thank you and the tattoo is amazing great work👍

What type of machine? Please
For this I am using the Bishop Wand packer with critical wireless powersupply.
What size needles did you use?
I used a 5RS 11RS 9RL. 23Curved bugpin Mag 15Curved bugpin Mag 7Curved bugpin Mag. I think those are about all I used.
@@ArtSomething Thanks Dave! 🤙🏼
*random* I love seeing artist using needles other than Kwadron.
THank you Brian as I do love kwadron, but there are some other really nice brands as well.
👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉
