Something I’ve learned while watching your videos is that smooth application lets the body heal without blowing out. I’m excited to apply these on fake skin! Though I don’t have 4 volts on my machine I can still try to build like you do
Daniel, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your content & patience. I used to tattoo years ago, & was never confident enough to do shading. But, I’m now practicing on practice skin. I have already learned so much from you!! 🙏🏻🙂Thank you so much & keep the content coming!! I love it!!
My style is typically line work and woodcut but I notice w shading you use the cross hatch to shade and that reallly really helps my brain because I normally create shading or depth in my art with crosshatching lines. Great video thanks
That is awesome! A lot of my style as well consists of linework dominantly ,mild shading and dot work. I use cross hatching pretty much everytime I apply shading. It really does help to smooth things out.
Thank you for the kind feedback and support Bobby! I appreciate you. One thing I’ve learned is that shading is a world of its own and it’s something that we work up and into. Be patient with the learning process and with yourself. I also created a shading workbook that is meant to help assist our shading and referencing skills.

Hey bud on volume 3 your book has awesome designs now ido well practice black-and- grey should I icolor with different pencils or markers or work on the shade with black and gray
@@bobbyschiappa6360 that’s a great question! I would say if you’re wanting to get better at what you already have going on I would work with what I am best at. Let’s say if I wanted to branch off and practice coloring I would recommend using colored pencils to practice color applications. You can really go any way you want with it. I would also recommend to put a card-stock paper in the back of the page just to avoid any potential bleeding that may occur with certain inks.
Awesome explanation again, the watt on the More Money is higher than I had expected, so 4v with the Inkclaw grip is strong enough and will not fluctuate, with your experience with fake skin and teaching on a very hard to perfectly hard to perfect(which you perfected) for a very long time real skin will be a breeze for you and it shows, I'd really love to be the client although I would never think of having a rose tattoo on my skin, this stipple rose tattoo I would love to have it on me as it's a perfect rose tattoo with my favorite style which I love doing btw🤘🏻
Ayyy it’s good to hear from you my friend! I hope all is well on your end. I appreciate your feedback and support! I was also a bit surprised by the output the inkclaw setup offers as 4 volts is probably the lowest I’ve ever used on a tattoo. Haha. It’s an awesome setup that’s for sure.
The mood and motivation's at the highest, from a gift from the heart when I was at my lowest to a sponsored atist, you gave me ba'k the motivation I had lost, thank you again my friend🤘🏻
Hello, did you use different shades of gray or did you use only one shade? If not, could it be appropriate to use an even lighter shade to smooth everything out? Or is it better to use only one shade of gray?
Thank you very much MOE! I appreciate you, your time and your support. Should you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to leave a comment and I will do my best to assist you in the best possible direction.
I was using a 4.2mm stroke for this tattoo if I remember correctly. I would stay between a 3-4mm stroke machine. This is going to be a personal preference thing and every artist is going to be different. But generally this area is a good area that we can begin with.
This is a wonderful video! Thank you for everything you do! I wanted to ask what needle depth we should be aiming for when stipple shading? You were using phrases like "scraping the skin," so I wanted to confirm. Is the purpose still to reach that ideal 1.5 mm and whip out from there?? Or is our needle not hitting that depth with this technique? Hope this question makes sense!
I thought I am the only one who's using ghost line though I never had an Idea that it exists to other artist as well I find it helpful for me and convenient because it is not much technical
I wonder if using a wash at such a shallow depth in the skin will make the tattoo will fade quickly? How will something like this will look in 10 years? I am an artist that does a lot of smooth whip shading with mags and I want to get more into stippling with liners for a change in some pieces but I also feel like running my machine that low will not penetrate/ saturate the skin enough for longevity, even if I'm going slower. Honestly that's about the same speed I got for shading with a mag at 10.5v. I know it varies for machines though.
That’s a great point and question! So far this tattoo has healed wonderfully and I’ve noticed with this sort of shading when applied correctly the tattoo heals quickly. In terms of holding up for 10 years we are going to have to wait and see but I would say if it’s applied correctly we will have a tattoo that does stand the test of time. In my opinion it’s all how the tattoo is applied and how the person takes care of the tattoo.
Cant find a more thourough explaination! Just one question, what stroke length do you prefer to work with here? I just bought a machine with a 3.5 unadjustable stroke
Thank you Julia! I appreciate you. I like to run at a low vintage anytime I use smaller needles. I typically ghost line at about 4-6 volts depending on the setup that I am using.
I’m using an inkclaw 08-03RL. I will link you using 1 of my affiliate links so you can check out the needle on your end. www.inkclaw.com/products/inkclaw-tight-3-round-liner-tattoo-cartridges? code=69KF1t2bFYu6I
I tried lower Voltage (4v) and it makes the stipple more solid, instead of gradient. What is the stroke depth you are using for your machine? Am I just going too slow? If it's in a small area, the line comes out solid instead of gradient.
@@eldritchmen765 I have used this with 5rL and 3rl and 7RL bugpin and non. I tried doing it faster, which onlly works in a longer area, but shorter areas it does not work.
If you’re getting more of a line then peppered/dots in tighter areas might be running hand speed little slow or need to pull up and work off the tip of your needles and try a longer stroke. Personally I can run a 3.5 on one or two machines I know really really well. When I’m super comfortable with the machine or something like that then 4/4.2 if you can adjust it and just find that sweet spot where hand and machine speed just sink up and it’ll click and make sense. Just the tip lol. That’s all don’t need much & like he was saying you can make a few passes to darken up. Just start light and get the right flow going and darken as needed. Dunno 🤷 just my random two cents from my experience. Have a good day happy tattooing:)
Hey brother I have a saikoya tattoo pen it say 3.5 stroke some say it's really a 4 stroke but that's hear say. It's work voltage is from 5 to 10 in 1 volt increments . I really need to learn this stuff it's stressing me out . Thank you for showing these things I am learning myself through anyway I can people font like to share there secrets like there isn't enough people out there to go around.
So would a Cheyenne machine be bad for this? Because the lowest my power supply goods down to is 60. I’m not sure that’s volts but it just says 60 on it. And it changes by 10s Where as my traditional machine power supply has a voltage dail
I don’t think the machine would be bad but more so is it comfortable for you? I wouldn’t say that machine are bad over others but all machines are designed differently so I would say some machines are better equipped to handle tasks we throw at them over others. I wound listen to the sound and vibration to determine if I’m at a healthy voltage range.
Your explanations are always on point. I feel like you leave little to question. Appreciate what you do for the tattoo community man! 🤘
Ahhh thank you for the kind feedback and support Bradley! I am grateful for you. You are appreciated 🤝
I completly agree very clear straight to the point

Beautiful work 👏 very helpful

That one leaf with one ink is messing with my ocd💀 beautiful vid
Hey excuse me but I bought a bronc machine pen. Could you explain what's the adjustable stroke for?
Brotha thank you
You're welcome Andrew! Thank you very much for your kind feedback and thank you very much for your support.
When your dot shading do you go to the dermis? Whip shading when you first enter the skin do you go to the dermis and whip out???? Thanks
how long of a stroke did you use ???
I thought I am the only one who's using ghost line though I never had an Idea that it exists to other artist as well I find it helpful for me and convenient because it is not much technical

You’re welcome! Thank you as well for the feedback and support.
thanks mann
How do we avoid nicking the skin like when your needle gets caught how does it happen. Is it going over too wide of sweep?
Stretch the skin
*Off subject* can you do some coil machine tutorials? I tried rotary and not for me. I know its slightly different
I wonder if using a wash at such a shallow depth in the skin will make the tattoo will fade quickly? How will something like this will look in 10 years?

What are all the advantages of using a machine vs hand poke tool?
Great Video 😊 how fast do you run the machine for the ghost lines?
Thank you Julia! I appreciate you.

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it.
cảm ơn vì chia sẽ , nếu có thể thì bạn vui lòng nói chậm lại một chút .
how deep your needle into the skin?
What mm stroke length are you using?
If I remember correctly I was using a 4 or 4.2 mm stroke for this tattoo.
WHAT VOLTAGE DO YOU USE YUCK?
I take it you’re only using rotary machines?
1rl?
0803 rl
I’m using an inkclaw 08-03RL. I will link you using 1 of my affiliate links so you can check out the needle on your end.

Sounds likely that you're using a needle thicker than 5RL or your hand speed might not be quick enough

Did you use a liner or shader machine
