I love your videos! Creator tip: If you put a blanket hanging vertically behind the camera it will help absorb the hollow sound and pull the microphone closer.
I have started watching your videos as at 46 I have to change my career. I have always been into tattoos but now am finally making that choice to follow a passion as the way forward. Your videos are truly helpful and very encouraging. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us.
Another quality lesson Ben. It's so true what you say, knowing the theory behind what your being taught is essential. I had several apprentices throughout my career and just showing them how to do something was never enough. Knowing the reason why you are doing it like you have been told seems to make it all click. Thank you mate
Thank you very much and i’m glad it helped buddy! coincidentally ive just uploaded a new version today too! How to Tattoo Lesson One (Straight Lines) ruclips.net/video/4144zM-mB04/видео.html
I’m doing the course as a re entertainment course. Saying I’m rusty is an understatement. I did my apprenticeship in the early 90’s. Had to fall away from the art due to difficulties in my life, and now I’m ready and free to be me in the art again. TAKE ME THERE and Thank You
you are an excellent teacher. I first discovered you from a web search about starting to tattoo past 60. I'm a good artist sure, but it's a whole nother thing. Your encouragement moved me , and now getting into your lessons in a methodical way as the course lays out I believe I can do it. You are empowering, trustworthy and just plain kind. Thanks a million.
Thank you! I have been an apprentice for almost 2 years. And came across these lessons. I thought why not, Refresh my mind on a new perspective of tattooing. I am still at the beginning of my career so redoing these techniques is helping me better my craft.
I found your videos a little over a month ago and they really helped me understand things better with tattooing and how to use my machines then I found your 30 day course and omg has it changed so much I have so much progress and it has given me so much confidence to become an actual tattoo artist like this is totally possible for me and I'm so pumped for it all!!! You rock!
Hiya, I just started your 30-day course about 2 days ago, I don't have a tattoo machine right now. However, I'm looking to purchase one ASAP. Can you let me know which tattoo machine you would recommend for a beginner, please? @BenFisherOfficial
with so many videos and people contradiction others its nice to have a straight to the point informative video to up your game! i say it ever time but thank you Ben
20 years self taught black n grey artist chicano style artist here.your funda metals a very smoove some time we gotta get back to basics .good shit man
I love what you have done with the update version of this video Ben!! Seriously guys, this guy treaches you from zero to pro. I haven't found anyone who has a more in depth online course!!
So today is my first day of trying this. Sadly I don’t have any equipment yet but the knowledge alone is amazing. I’m more of a “let me write this down so I can remember it” type of person and I can literally picture parts of the lesson in my head. Great teacher!
I like your training so far I've been self teaching myself just by watching other peoples videos but they do not give any info like you do all the detail is perfect thank you! Especially the speed that's something I never understood. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos!
This video definitely makes me realise I could do with going back to basics and practice my starts and stops to my lines, I noticed straight away that the lines in my most recent tattoo had the little balls on the ends 😂 and I’ve definitely been holding machine at too much of an angle, Ben Fisher, you are the best online teacher for tattooing and have the best channel for beginners on RUclips, straight up info, no bs just good lessons explained perfectly
Honestly your videos have had a profound impact on my life. I study them religiously. I feel like I finally have a goal in life and I'm taking meaningful steps towards achieving it. The graveyard analogy will stick with me for the rest of my life m
I love this course it shows you all the different methods and techniques to fully learn to become a master. They just started a new tattoo portal that you can look into and he works personally with you
Been learning on and off for years, Ben you've totally inspired me to take that jump and go for it...lifentoo short. Loving the lessons and straightforwardness of the lessons, love learning about what I'm doing and the reasoning behind it. Excited to get to the end but one day at a time! Thank you Ben, you've made me believe in myself again
Started your 30 day, brilliant mate lots of help, really good teacher full off information, keep up your good work, definitely recommend 👍 and cheers for the help fella
You sounds like promising. Thank you so much. I have been wanting to become tattoo for last decade and never had courage to do... I will do 30days course in this summer. You made me start.
You had me realize that I need to slow myself down and practice intermittently instead of going until I can barely move my hand . You explain everything perfectly to where I actually understand. Feels like I finally have someone that understands me
Hey Ben love your work and videos , I started last year and unfortunately I'm at a sticking point ATM but I wouldn't have gotten this far without you . Great videos with no click bait BS❤
You are a god sent, thank you so much for doing this. Trying to get into this tattoo industry is becoming so much easier now, ive been jumping from video to video and finally found you. Again thank you so much for doing what you do and I’ll keep on trying to do my best.
I just wanted to say thank you for doing this for us and you did awesome there just something about the way you teach it hits the brain like it soupost too so thank you so much
Thank you so much you have no idea how much you are slowly helping me otherwise I've been stuck in a world of shit for how my tattoos have been coming out and now you have given me hope because you have allowed me to figure out slowly what I have been doing wrong and break it all down and do it right instead so thanks again and God bless
Just signed up for the free course and I’ll most likely do the full course after. Ben I will put all my focus in your course, I have a strong feeling that is the right choice since I am barely starting and this is the most straightforward course I’ve been able to find. The rest I feel like they’re not real beginner oriented.
I really missed your videos.. I was happily surprised when i see the notification on YT. Thank you so much Ben for all your effort and your great teaching. Hats off to YOU mate.
I’ve joined many tattoo for beginners groups on Facebook and quite honestly have felt so overwhelmed with all of the info. Joined your course and have just finished this first lesson and now I’m gonna leave all of those groups and learn from you. Fellow South Yorkshire bird here, so the accent definitely helps with keeping it engaging ! Thanks for not gatekeeping the info 🎉
New video is mint! Looks great teach. To anyone new to the free 30 days, listen to this man. He is a phenomenal online instructor. If you listen and put in the work Fisher’s course will help you. I’ve come so far from a total novice, never having handled a machine, to getting compliments on my skills from experienced professionals. And there’s no bullying and gatekeeping here. 👍🏻
Ive been jumping around with all sorts of different ways to tattoo and ive already gone thru almost all of the 30 day course and i feel like its an absolute necessity to just start again from the beginning of your videos and do it all over again and then jump to the main course cause your right its all about learning in a structured way. Thankyou so much for laying it out the way you do. Your literally changing my life bro you have no idea. Its a dam beautiful thing your doing here for struggling artists.
I'm so glad I stumbled on this series! I felt like other tattooists were not as structured as I'd like. Should there be any liquid on the dabbing wipe when using fake skin? I tried some lines on cheaper fake skin, and it just seems to smudge up and stain the surface a lot when I try to dab with a paper towel.
Thanks for putting your videos on here. I’m new to tattooing myself, but have plenty of tattoos on me. I started out today trying to tattoo stencils. I definitely need to work on my line work. Thank you once again !!!
It was broken down in a very simple way with ultimate understanding especially about the way the needle deposits into the line on the angle. Thank you i need to pick up a stencil printer any budget friendly ideas wont get an inkjet until i have clients ?
Very well put togather just for the audience and the newbies mane you should include on how they should dip the ink I’m following you through step by step and I have already been tattooing since I was 14 and I’m almost 31 and I’ve tattooed a lot and every part of the body this is very good Ben
I'm so happy I found your videos! You're the only person whose videos actually go in depth and take time to explain different concepts without insisting that the viewer buy your program to learn more. Thank you!!!🖤
I found this extremely helpful full since I started with no videos nothing. Just on my self I have some good lines. But this made them better. Thanks so much for sharing this free can’t wait for my next lesson.
Great work on improving the format! Very polished porffessional format, the info was always fantastic and now has an even better production. I think a great idea would be a super close up shot pulling a line would be mega! Great work Ben
just subbed Ben, thanks for the opportunity to learn from you i am looking at the first 30 days like you say then i am going to carry on the coarse thanks again buddy.
great video, great idea publishing this free course! thanks. a question about this lesson: is the same if I go downwards instead of upwards tracing the Ines? I hope I made it clear, I'm italian and often I have difficulties to explain what I have in mind
Great video it has helped me with my lining doing the drill and now for get what I thought I knew about lining this is great and thank you Ben for the feed back
Well finished the first exercise and I have already found something that I really need to work on. When I ami lifting the needle out of the skin I have a bad tendency to kick it over to the right
Absolutely great, been trying to teach myself the past few months and started on designs. After watching this I’ve realised I was definitely trying to run before I could walk. Nice and clear, easy to follow and informative. Thanks :)
Awesome video...I'm so excited to learn to be a tattooist..I'm trying to find my purpose and i really enjoy knowing how to do multiple things/styles of expressing myself. And there's a possibility to make a living out of it!? I'm in. Overall super excited about this course.
What I've learned the year I've been tattooing is everyone likes to say theres no set guidelines for tattooing then turn around and say what they do is the only way to tattoo correctly. Everyone is always trying to push their methods on you. this isn't the case there is kinda guidelines or a base method for tattooing but they don't tell you there's different ways of doing it and you need to find what works best for you.
YEAH!! I’ve noticed that too! Like I started tattooing and I’m still learning , and upon my researches I always find “do it the right way” and they tell you everyone has their own unique styles, which is very confusing, like at the moment I’m still trying to figure out HOW I should hold my machine, like I would see a lot of people hold it differently, which is very confusing.
I’m excited to have started your course Ben, all the information and explaining why of everything has been so extremely helpful! So thank you so much, your absolutely brilliant Mate! After this lesson I have a question, I noticed you started from bottom and worked your way up to top of each line. Does it make a difference if one was to work from top of line down to the bottom instead of bottom to top? Wondering if that affects line work like positioning does at all or is it the same, one can do either or?
Hey thank you for the comment and supporting the channel. Yes please follow the f=direct as in the video because we then do it in different ways in future lessons. I want you to drill and practice all directions rather than just be able to pull or push lines
I like this style it helps ..so you know I took your 30 day course when you first released it and have been practicing ever since and just signed up to take it again and will be purchasing the full course by the end of this week thanks to you making it available at the price you gave me..thank you so much look forward to chatting soon mate cheers
This guy is the most helpful tattoo teacher Iv ever seen on youtube
Handle down
I love your videos! Creator tip: If you put a blanket hanging vertically behind the camera it will help absorb the hollow sound and pull the microphone closer.
But it'll make it tackier lookin imo, he may just need a stronger shotgun mic
@@CHAOS3RDEYE you put it behind the camera that you are facing to kill echo and to flatten the sound
Think that's the point of the sound proof panels on the wall.
@@TattooDallas they are not working well
I have started watching your videos as at 46 I have to change my career. I have always been into tattoos but now am finally making that choice to follow a passion as the way forward. Your videos are truly helpful and very encouraging. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us.
47 here and same
30 and same lol
42. Started an apprenticeship in 2010. Life happened and I had to stop and left the state I was in. 14 years later it’s time to switch careers.
the quality of the information in this one was big lad
Another quality lesson Ben. It's so true what you say, knowing the theory behind what your being taught is essential. I had several apprentices throughout my career and just showing them how to do something was never enough. Knowing the reason why you are doing it like you have been told seems to make it all click. Thank you mate
Thank you so much. This one lesson has taught me more than all the lessons I’ve watched in 2 hrs. You rock! So glad I found you.
Thank you very much and i’m glad it helped buddy!
coincidentally ive just uploaded a new version today too!

Ben is an absolutely fantastic teacher. He goes through every detail with you. He has given me great confidence.
Lesson One has given me confidence that I can see this journey into tattooing with more confidence than I had beforehand. Thanks Ben Fisher.
I couldn’t have said it better. 🎉😊
By far the most comprehensive approach and precise way for teaching I'm already an artist and I'm doing the course
That’s awesome buddy and thank you for the support.

Thanks Ben! This lesson was great. Love the way you break it down and make it simple and east! ❤️🔥
I loved the palm stretching technique.
One of my faves. People seem to try and over complicate everything don’t they
Although I'm absolutely still new I'm definitely getting more confident and really I'm mainly focused on finding what's comfortable for me
the stretching part is just great, thank you!!!
I just wanted to say thank you for doing this for us and you did awesome there just something about the way you teach it hits the brain like it soupost too so thank you so much

Great content very helpful for beginners
Glad you think so!
Fantastic!!! Looks so good and I am definitely going through all of them again as they are released!
Loved the new video. Amazing information. Graphics add so much clarity. Only thing I am not a big fan is the swipe sound but that is me.
