Tip for anyone new to tattooing: always dap or dap and press so you don’t mess up or wipe away the stencil, jst like how he does it 👍🏻 love these vids, I like to see other artists who are friendly and open to teaching!
@@anonymousprepper1463 yeah that happens to me sometimes, I jst try to wipe away as much as possible without irritating the tatt, but it’ll probly only come off after the client washes it a couple of times, it jst sucks for when we want to take pictures of the progress! but it is what it is haha also, a cool trick I learned from an OG, if the tattoo ends up red or “inflamed” wipe some witch hazel on it and it calms the skin down, it’s especially good for clients who swell up before u can take a good picture 👍🏻
@@nekomantix598 Yeah i did my inner bicep and couldn't quite stretch it properly... plus i think was moving way to quickly at 9v. lines looked choppy so I ran over a second time. she's rather puffy. I will have to try this. no plans for any customers, as I don't have the time nor funds for apprenticeship. and thinking i need to get practice back up on my line work and speed on the fake skin.
I literally thought to my self right before I opened RUclips was “I’ve got the art down I just need to make sure my technique is correct and I’m hitting the right depth” and then this was the first video I saw recommended haha thank you!!

Did two years of an apprenticeship but never finished. These videos helped so much. Pushed three pieces on me so far to practice depth. Crazy how the skin changes from area to area.
I appreciate the support and feedback Niro! I agree, 1 thing that I experience time and time again is that the depth can and does change especially on different areas.

Thank you so much for this video. I am really grateful for the time you put into these. One thing I would like to more about in depth is over working the skin - I am very worried to take more than one pass on a line, or overwork too much when trying to saturate colors - I guess my question is how do you know when to stop or hold off?
You're welcome! Thank you for your support and feedback. That my friend is a great subject! I can make a video touching base on this specific topic as I feel others would gain from as well. In a nutshell I feel it comes down to experience and knowing what to look for. There is a term I have heard time and time again which is "reading the skin" and that skill of knowing how to read the skin has come naturally. Over working the skin is something that will happen as we are applying the tattoo so we can see the trauma if any happening prior to overworking. If we aren't paying attention to the specific persons skin we are tattooing we will be more prone to over working the skin. Signs of over working is excessive bleeding, tugging on the skin with the needles will overwork and damage the skin, deep red around or on the tattoo site, texture on the skin, and the list goes on. These are all signs of potential overworking. Depending on the hand of the artist has will determine what type of issues that would arise I feel.
@@Lumpdadabubub I feel that is a good ball park, but with consideration on multiple variables. Such as the setup the artist is running, the expertise and experience, and more. Some can get by with more passes some with less, it is hard to say an exact number off the top because of the variables.

Yeah thanks for that. I know exactly where your coming from with feeling your own depth. When your an artist, it's like your own depth of shade or colour when creating work on paper or canvas. I'm going through the stage of getting everything thing ready for the new year. Thanks again.
Hi Daniel, I'm an apprentice who just put his first few tattoos after practicing on fake skin and myself.Your videos have helped me so much with holding my machine and doing lines! Since people start asking to do other areas than arms and legs nog, I was wondering if there's any rule of thumb, video or reference to have an estimation on how to handle the skin on an area I haven't tattoo'd yet. For example: "should I go softer or harder on the area of the hips?" I have experienced artists working at the shop who can explain me, but I haven't found an online reference yet. If you got an idea, I'd love to hear it!
Hey been watching your videos I got $200 Dollars to buy a tattoo gun or a set you recommend off Amazon. You've influenced me in tattoos and now I want to practice. Thanks good content always!
Ooo that is a great question! What type of tattoos will you be doing? I think it all depends on what you want from your setup! Are you wanting an easier setup and break down? Do you want to go with pen style tattoo machines or coil machines?

Thank you for your feedback and support! I appreciate you Yea this tattoo is not by any means perfect nor am I a perfect tattoo artist or anything like that. I wish I was, but I still have yet to do a perfect tattoo. There isn’t any excuse for not pulling better lines, I should have took more time and found better positions along the way. I learned a lot because I can see a lot of things I would have done different, which allows me to rethink my workflow and better it. I can genuinely say I feel like I learned and gained a lot during the making of this video. Again I appreciate you. Don’t hesitate to let me if you have any questions at all.

Curious about a couple things... 1. why is the paper towel covering one half? Is it just ready at hand? help to see straight lines? friction support? 2. the tube deposit (aka hole on top) I was told needs to face the direction you are going, but often i see it offset or even at a 45 degree angle. I am just learning and it is not meant to criticize, I am just curious why you decided to do it this way. It clearly seems to work and I am wondering what makes it work well. I also am doing a similar needle type and voltage so this helped a lot. I have tattoos so feeling the vibration is going to be easy to determine. I just hope I am okay the first time I go in!

What’s interesting to me is I feel like it’s quietest when you’re hitting it perfect and it’s gliding in like butter. When it’s at an angle or there’s slightly too much ink loaded and sputtering I feel like it’s noisier, but when you’re doing it flawlessly there’s almost no extra sound at all. Am I nuts or do you think so too? Either way very helpful video and very much appreciated!!🤜🤛
I love the way you show and explain the way it works. I bought my machine this week and I'm just practicing and your videos are very helpful. Thanks! Could you show how you fill the ink? I'm making lines only for now but I feel my ink is vanishing from the cap 😅 I have to recharge again and again for every inch and I feel I'm doing something wrong.
ive been having trouble with my lines coming out right with these new pens but ill only use the pens. i think there great. my backround is prison tattoing. im still getting use to the pens. but you help me understand it and be able to get my lines done right because of this video. thanks bro.
Hey man, bought your lining book! “ the tattoo journal “ date in the back page before the back booklet is 09 June 2023! It’s helping a lot! Been using the pen machine with the pen attachment for practice instead of a regular pen or pencil
Really appreciate these videos, so incredibly helpful! I have one question: what’s the best way to deal with skin that ‘bounces’ a lot (making it hard to see depth and what you’re doing)? Any tips on how to adjust machine/technique/stretch to compensate for this? Thanks in advance for your time!
The actual answer is not only to stretch more. But to also change the direction of your stretch. If you’re not stretching in the direction the line is headed in, then the stretch itself is pointless. Once you have the little window of skin you are working in between your two fingers, and it’s stretching in the same direction you’re pulling the line, THEN make sure it’s nice and taught, and it will reduce the amount that skin is bouncing to a minimum. I know the feeling when the skin is bouncing under that needle and it’s really difficult to see where that line is being laid down, and it leads to an epic Fuckup lol… this will minimize the chances of that happening again. Hope that helped.
I would say the exact same thing. Stretch the skin. But be careful because we are not used to properly stretch the skin and instead of stretching it you might just push the skin downward which would give u some sort of stretch but not enough for the need toe to go through. Hope it helps
If you’re stretching the skin and you are using brand new needles then you should be fine . There are people that reuse needles, those people shouldn’t be tattooing because a box of 50 costs close to nothing and damn sure don’t reuse cartridges.

Hey Dan, just out of curiosity, what kind of camera do you use to create your videos? Are you using an I-phone or something else? Great video by the way mane. 👏
Hi Daniel, how did you get the stencil stroke so perfect? The thickness of the stroke is accurate to the cartridge. Did you traced it with pen or was it printed on thermal?
That is a great question! I typically will get the line wight some what lined up and thought out when I am creating the design. So I will essentially select the line weight when creating the stencil and use the appropriate needle sizes to complete the tattoo.
You're welcome my friend! I appreciate your time and support! I am glad I was able to help you in a better direction. Don't hesitate to reach out should you ever have any questions.
Great video Daniel! I appreciate the depths you go to to help teach the correct ways of tattooing. You mentioned that this tattoo hurt. Is it because of the location or is it because of tattooing yourself? 🙏 Poppy
Thank you for your continued support and feedback Poppy! I appreciate you. This tattoo hurt because I was tattooing myself haha. It was a difficult task to tattoo myself and talk at the same time.

When i've asked questions about this feeling and this sound to be sure I'm tattooing the correct way, nobody is able to tell me "Yes, you're doing good !" and people act like I'm fucking dumb, but I'm not. I can feel what you describe in your video, thank you.

Great tips and ideas, I haven't done tattoos in 12+ years 🤦🏽♂️and you definitely refreshed my memory, now I need to unbox a machine I bought a few years ago.. Time for me to get back at it 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Ink Life 💙..
Checking out an old video. This explains needle depth the best I’ve seen on “the World Wide Web” 😂😂. Thank you sir!! Now back to tattooing.
Hey man! I stumbled across your videos and you’ve earned yourself another subscriber. You explain things so well and it’s so easy to understand what you are trying to say. Thank you for everything!

I was always told to go about 2mm deep or the thickness of a nickel. Your needle depth looks to be much less, but awesome lines.

The breaking of the skin sounds a bit like a coffee grinder..lol. I just learned the sound of fake skin and depth on fake skin as well. Thank u for such an in depth video!!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for your kind feedback and support! I appreciate you.
To me the breaking of the skin sounds a lot like sizzling. Haha like sizzling chicken fajitas or a sizzle to this extent. It is a faint and soft sizzle is the only way I feel I can describe it. I could also be a little bit hungry right now.
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you ever have any questions along your way!
A good example of how to do a simple design, and well done on the instructions being described as you went along….
Thanks for the video bro, this goes more in depth and easier to understand by watching on actual skin

Thank you so much for this video. I am really grateful for the time you put into these. One thing I would like to more about in depth is over working the skin - I am very worried to take more than one pass on a line, or overwork too much when trying to saturate colors - I guess my question is how do you know when to stop or hold off?
a maximum of 2 passes, if you are not getting a pretty line or it wont go in by that, i wouldnt touch that "line" again before it's healed up.
You can go over it more than 2 it depends on your machine if it’s harder or softer
@@simonkristiansen960 what about packing solid black or color?
You're welcome! Thank you for your support and feedback.
That my friend is a great subject! I can make a video touching base on this specific topic as I feel others would gain from as well.
In a nutshell I feel it comes down to experience and knowing what to look for. There is a term I have heard time and time again which is "reading the skin" and that skill of knowing how to read the skin has come naturally. Over working the skin is something that will happen as we are applying the tattoo so we can see the trauma if any happening prior to overworking. If we aren't paying attention to the specific persons skin we are tattooing we will be more prone to over working the skin.
Signs of over working is excessive bleeding, tugging on the skin with the needles will overwork and damage the skin, deep red around or on the tattoo site, texture on the skin, and the list goes on. These are all signs of potential overworking. Depending on the hand of the artist has will determine what type of issues that would arise I feel.
@@Lumpdadabubub I feel that is a good ball park, but with consideration on multiple variables.
Such as the setup the artist is running, the expertise and experience, and more. Some can get by with more passes some with less, it is hard to say an exact number off the top because of the variables.
As a self-apprentice I appreciate this vid. Thank you
You’re welcome Nex!
That’s amazing!
I’m glad that I can help you in a better direction.

Another great video I swear I can close my eyes and hear the right depth now Ty ❤
I think I discovered I’m into tattoo asmr the sound of the machine is so calming
That is a great discovery!
I am into that sound as well haha something about that humming!
I have a ASMR playlist with a couple of videos. I do plan on doing more asmr as well.
ASMR Playlist

This video just helped me so much now I can finally know when I’m at the right depth
Yeah thanks for that. I know exactly where your coming from with feeling your own depth. When your an artist, it's like your own depth of shade or colour when creating work on paper or canvas. I'm going through the stage of getting everything thing ready for the new year. Thanks again.
Hi Daniel, I'm an apprentice who just put his first few tattoos after practicing on fake skin and myself.Your videos have helped me so much with holding my machine and doing lines!
Since people start asking to do other areas than arms and legs nog, I was wondering if there's any rule of thumb, video or reference to have an estimation on how to handle the skin on an area I haven't tattoo'd yet. For example: "should I go softer or harder on the area of the hips?" I have experienced artists working at the shop who can explain me, but I haven't found an online reference yet.
If you got an idea, I'd love to hear it!
I been hearing that sound and thought I was wrong, thanks alot!!!!!!
haha at first it can definitely sound wrong, especially if we aren't sure.
Hey been watching your videos I got $200 Dollars to buy a tattoo gun or a set you recommend off Amazon. You've influenced me in tattoos and now I want to practice. Thanks good content always!
Ooo that is a great question!
What type of tattoos will you be doing? I think it all depends on what you want from your setup!
Are you wanting an easier setup and break down? Do you want to go with pen style tattoo machines or coil machines?
I was thinking pen
I love the close up if the needle and the explanation. By far the best one yet and I'm only like 30 seconds in
Great video bud, slow and cocise. Needle depth has been the major worry I've had, obviously not wanting any blowouts. Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you for the kind feedback and support!

@DanielYuck this video is exactly what I was missing. Thank you for explaining the sound difference and what riding the tube meant. I kept hearing that term thrown around and was always clueless. You're awesome!
Good lines with a rotary like the look of lines done with a coil but good auto tattooing and self discipline

By the way, an other good vid.

How do you feel it went? What did you tattoo?
@@DanielYuck I actually think i did a pretty good job.i did 2 roses on my girlfriends upper thigh lol
very talented and brave enough to spread knowledge and upload, progress thanks
Dude you’re awesome!!! Thank u for putting so much effort in!!! Also am I correct in that the right depth has an almost crunchy sound? Lol
Thanks mate I just found your channel and you have content I am researching right now so thanks again and subbed with notes on for future uploads ❤

I like how you added the still photo of the needle depth. just a suggestion, if u can put a marking next Time on a video to to give a visual indication of how much of the needle goes into the skin.. a lot of people of visual learners in that sense or maybe I'll just speak for myself but either way great video. Everything explained easily
Do you cleant the cartridge at all while tattooing so ink does not bulk up in the cartridge or it stays ok from dipping back into ink
Great video man! Thanks for the tips and advice! Videos like this are addicting to watch

love you dude, so generous with high level content
Nice design, great stencil. Solid tattoo. I will say the lines on the very top leaf the 3 lines looked crooked to me. But all in all a good tattoo
Thank you for your feedback and support!
I appreciate you
Yea this tattoo is not by any means perfect nor am I a perfect tattoo artist or anything like that. I wish I was, but I still have yet to do a perfect tattoo.
There isn’t any excuse for not pulling better lines, I should have took more time and found better positions along the way. I learned a lot because I can see a lot of things I would have done different, which allows me to rethink my workflow and better it.
I can genuinely say I feel like I learned and gained a lot during the making of this video.
Again I appreciate you. Don’t hesitate to let me if you have any questions at all.

Wish I seen this in Texas would have been a game changer...instead of me not knowing I was jus giving clients blown out art ...🥵
This was awesome and great to see even you make some mistakes, a few shaky lines.
Curious about a couple things...
1. why is the paper towel covering one half? Is it just ready at hand? help to see straight lines? friction support?
2. the tube deposit (aka hole on top) I was told needs to face the direction you are going, but often i see it offset or even at a 45 degree angle. I am just learning and it is not meant to criticize, I am just curious why you decided to do it this way. It clearly seems to work and I am wondering what makes it work well. I also am doing a similar needle type and voltage so this helped a lot. I have tattoos so feeling the vibration is going to be easy to determine. I just hope I am okay the first time I go in!
Are you using a 7 round? And which ink do you use for line work? Great video! Thanks!
Brilliant! You are amazing. Thank you so much for being such a good teacher 💗

@@DanielYuck thanks again fam, also what ink would you recommend..
I can hear you!! Yaasss. Love the videos mane. I have an issue with second guessing myself and you always set me straight. Appreciated
What’s interesting to me is I feel like it’s quietest when you’re hitting it perfect and it’s gliding in like butter. When it’s at an angle or there’s slightly too much ink loaded and sputtering I feel like it’s noisier, but when you’re doing it flawlessly there’s almost no extra sound at all. Am I nuts or do you think so too? Either way very helpful video and very much appreciated!!🤜🤛
What stroke machine do you use? Im guessing a 4.0 you will hear it more 🤔
Thanks for the awesome video and awesome work! I learned a ton and a lot closer to a skin canvas!!
I love the way you show and explain the way it works. I bought my machine this week and I'm just practicing and your videos are very helpful. Thanks! Could you show how you fill the ink? I'm making lines only for now but I feel my ink is vanishing from the cap 😅 I have to recharge again and again for every inch and I feel I'm doing something wrong.
Same here bro..😅😢 i just started... And i dip and dip to get ink.. to stay in the gun
..😔😒🤦
ive been having trouble with my lines coming out right with these new pens but ill only use the pens. i think there great. my backround is prison tattoing. im still getting use to the pens. but you help me understand it and be able to get my lines done right because of this video. thanks bro.
Hey man, bought your lining book!
“ the tattoo journal “ date in the back page before the back booklet is 09 June 2023! It’s helping a lot! Been using the pen machine with the pen attachment for practice instead of a regular pen or pencil
Really appreciate these videos, so incredibly helpful! I have one question: what’s the best way to deal with skin that ‘bounces’ a lot (making it hard to see depth and what you’re doing)? Any tips on how to adjust machine/technique/stretch to compensate for this? Thanks in advance for your time!
Stretch more. Skin won't bounce when it is properly stretched.
The actual answer is not only to stretch more. But to also change the direction of your stretch. If you’re not stretching in the direction the line is headed in, then the stretch itself is pointless. Once you have the little window of skin you are working in between your two fingers, and it’s stretching in the same direction you’re pulling the line, THEN make sure it’s nice and taught, and it will reduce the amount that skin is bouncing to a minimum. I know the feeling when the skin is bouncing under that needle and it’s really difficult to see where that line is being laid down, and it leads to an epic Fuckup lol… this will minimize the chances of that happening again. Hope that helped.
I would say the exact same thing. Stretch the skin. But be careful because we are not used to properly stretch the skin and instead of stretching it you might just push the skin downward which would give u some sort of stretch but not enough for the need toe to go through. Hope it helps
If you’re stretching the skin and you are using brand new needles then you should be fine .
There are people that reuse needles, those people shouldn’t be tattooing because a box of 50 costs close to nothing and damn sure don’t reuse cartridges.

Hey Dan, just out of curiosity, what kind of camera do you use to create your videos? Are you using an I-phone or something else? Great video by the way mane. 👏
Your advice is so detailed, thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback and support!
You are appreciated!
Hi Daniel, how did you get the stencil stroke so perfect? The thickness of the stroke is accurate to the cartridge. Did you traced it with pen or was it printed on thermal?
Use a thick micron that’s probably what he used or just be like every tattooer out there using a rotary dildo and get an ipad
That’s achieved with stencil printer
That is a great question!
I typically will get the line wight some what lined up and thought out when I am creating the design. So I will essentially select the line weight when creating the stencil and use the appropriate needle sizes to complete the tattoo.
thank you for your sacrifice king this is really helpful.
You're welcome my friend!

Thank you for your consistency. Your videos are always always helpful.
Also how many times should one run a line to get a solid line. What is the max ?
Best video I've seen so far!
Great video Daniel! I appreciate the depths you go to to help teach the correct ways of tattooing. You mentioned that this tattoo hurt. Is it because of the location or is it because of tattooing yourself? 🙏 Poppy
Thank you for your continued support and feedback Poppy!
I appreciate you.
This tattoo hurt because I was tattooing myself haha. It was a difficult task to tattoo myself and talk at the same time. I tend to hold my breathe on lines a bit more so there was various challenges I faced upon creating this video. The pain I put on myself was 1 of them. haha
I just learned so much from this...
