    I’ve been getting commissions for tattoo designs, and while researching I heard about spit shading. Had no idea it referred to using spit to create the gradients!

    I immediately subscribed to your channel because it is great and teaches a lot! Thanks from the bottom of my heart! 🖤🖤🖤
    Just one question: I'm an apprentice tattoo artist and I'd like to understand: does the process work the same on the skin for tattooing? I mean, to make the color shades I can first make the shades of black and white and then pass the color over, or I make them with different shades of color, (for example, for the rose petals from the darkest red to lighter red)??? Sorry for my question, I'm a rookie but I really want to learn!! Thank you so much !!!!!

    • @SoberjoeSe

      Hi man! Thank you for the comment. I’ve decided not to share any tattoo Q/A here on the channel as I think tattooing should be taught by a mentor IRL. Hope you can understand this. Tattooing is a health risk and should be practiced under control.

    • @SoberjoeSe
      @SoberjoeSe  4 года назад +2

      Thank you for the kind words!
      As a matter of fact the brush doesn't really pick up much of that ink so normally it doesn't taste anything. Of course I've messed up some times and my lips and tongue went black as hell afterwards. Rinse with water and keep at it! =)

      I'm happy you found an apprenticeship. The reason I'm doing these videos is that I started my career with a mentor that couldn't help me paint tattoo flash. It took me years to figure these things out. As there are hard to find a good mentor that does tattoos that you're interested in you gotta take the ones that are willing to do it. I'm just here to help you learn how to paint if your mentor lacks the skills.
