Thanks mate. My problem when tattoing, I haven't done much, but I ALWAYS start out not going deep enough, cause I fear blowing out like nothing else. So i go over...wipe... Not enough in there, so another pass... and another...etc. I then rather stop and continue another week, as forcing to get it done that day. That's a compromise I stuck to for now, until I hone my routine a little more ...
Confidence…it comes with time bro
i wish more artists were as careful..I just got a forearm tattoo 10 days ago, it was overworked to the point of huge indentations and now an infection. it's 100% ruined and im in so much pain. I'm so sad and angry😩
Sorry to hear this. Have you spoken to the artist
somewhat, I didn't know at the time but he was fresh out of apprenticeship. we spoke a couple times with photos of progress once I noticed something off. he said it looked fine to him. I asked about infection and he said he would do touch ups once healed. I haven't told him it was confirmed infected yet. I don't want to come across rude or accusatory.
@@trishaconyers4831 you aren’t accusing. In all honesty infections usually come from outside the studios unless the studio was just really dirty or the artist was dirty and doing things wrong. I would just be honest with the artist. Overworked however is on the artist. You may get some scarring and will it will all need to settle down before a touch up
I pack black really well I have no issues there I have issues with color. 🤦♂️ lol I will over work color so much easier then black
Man you are treasure. Such a valuable info. See you again brother be safe and healthy.
Watched this video 4 hours too late, I think I just messed someone’s leg with overworking a full black Celtic cross, is there any way to fix it after it heals? :/
Edit 20 minutes later:
Just got off the phone with my guy, let him know I might have fucked up.
He said he didn't consider it too painful so he didn't mention it even when I asked.
We'll let it heal for a while and then see what we can do afterwards, thankfully it's a black cross, hope I didn't scar him too bad tho :/
Thanks alot Chris for the education. 🙏
Oh I didn’t think about the plasma and blood in the ink. I’m new on skin and couldn’t figure out why my black suddenly had a reddish brown color in it as I worked on my leg the other day! Thank you so much for the tips!
Hi Chris I had a tattoo done in this January. I can tell it was overworked after researching. I reached out to the artist and they said the tattoo is still healing. I can already feel the difference in texture on my skin. One part of the tattoo is raised. This tattoo also is packed with lots of black ink.
It’s weird because I’ve been tattooed by this artist before and that tattoo is amazing but this recent one definitely overworked and I’ve never experienced that.
I’m also concerned because I have brown skin not sure how the scarring will look not sure if it would make a difference.
Any scaring cream recommendations? How soon should I reach out to the artist again?
Wait until the tattoo has fully healed then you can try Bio-Oil. Which should bring it down for you 😬
@@ChrisRavage I just Started using buo oil myself for the same issue. My 1 yr old tattoos lines (heavy black lines) r raised. Very visible. Hoping the bio oil works
i've got a dozen tattoos and the only time it ever hurt is when I had to sit for more than hour.....I guess most people are able to go 2.5 hours on average but i'm a B**(h i guess. lol. 62 minutes in and it immediately goes from 'gimme a cup of tea and a magazine" to "f**k off. i'm done. see you in a month"
Needle depth and hand speed master these you will go far
I had a tattoo done 7 days ago. It’s healing something awful. Would it make sense that only one colour seems to be overworked? Thinner ink? I have a fair amount of ink but never experienced a healing period like this.
Vaseline?? 😮
Chris, can you please redo this video? The black on black is quite distracting, may I suggest you remove the black jumper? 😂🤩🥳😍
I have gotten 9 tattoos and the last one was overworked it was on bicep inner arm part and idk if I should keep going to him. He does amazing work but he admitted he prob went to hard in that area and said he didn’t realize how soft it was. What should I do?
I practice on myself, I was using red ink this time so I guess it was harder to tell, but I’m trying shading and I started out good but the rest of my tattoo is overworked and ink wasn’t going in! I kept trying to add ink and it was just clear. hope I can recover it properly and I hope it looks okay in the end, lol I started shedding skin immediately after :(
Hi, my tattoo artist overworked my tattoo..its a portrait, it scabbed really bad it took 6 weeks for all the scabs to completly come off, now im.left with a few scars. Can this be fixed with a touch up? Can you go back over the scar so it looks normal again or will i have to live with a badly healed tattoo forever? Thankyou
Depends how bad the scar is and what tone is used for the scar. For black and grey it depends but for colour they touch ups cover well
@@ChrisRavage thanks for the reply brother, i just sent you a pic of the scarring on instagram
So where do I come to get a tattoo from you 😂 Fr I can only sit for about 3 or 4 hours with my current tattoo artist 😭😭😭 it's taking soooo long to achieve my body art
Rotator cuff sounds like
I know I can do it,but I can,t,because overworking skin.I can,t tell you how this shit is eating me up,but I know it's going to be ok,how I want to go to the next level.Thank you for this video,by.
I need a little advice/direction 😊 I just finished getting a floral piece on my inner forearm. 2 sessions, both ended up having a few overworked areas. Never experienced this with other work so i was alarmed when chunks of skin literally came sloughing off. They ended up looking like ground meat and deeply ulcerated to deep layers. Ive ended up with 2 gnarly scars and lost a good bit of ink in other areas. The pain was intense to say the least and healing was slow.
Should i see the same artist to touch me up? And should i expect the work to be done at no cost considering it's repairing their mistakes? Or should i seek out a different artist and pay to have repair/restoration done??
If it was that bad, it’s not always the artist, infection can happen. So my advice would be to find out if this has happened to anyone else regularly that artist tattoos and if so, don’t go back. Healed work is the biggest testament to an artist.
I have tiny white bumps, tons all close together, definitely not pimples in one area with colour.
It's around 3 weeks healed and otherwise going well.
I can't find anything online that looks similar.
Does it sound like possible overworking?
It's a piece done by a new apprentice.
I know im sooo late but you Could be overmoisturizing
i needed this tyty, i jus keep on overworking when packing black
do you know Lunar C? great video!
Thank you so much for this video! I just discovered your channel and this is really what I needed! I’m an one year old apprentice and you explained so well what I struggle the most. Staying gentle but working just right enough is hard to explain but your tips were simple and clear. For sure I’ll put them on use ASAP, thanks again!
My absolute pleasure
Learn from you tattoo artist who is teaching you in a shop. Why are you looking on TH-cam for something only a true shop artist really knows ,in my opinion'. You have a professional teaching you , unless you are not a real apprentice and in that case why lie ? No worries either way just curious
Hello, Iam a very fresh tattoo artist, just got my certificate a few weeks ago and Iam pretty sure thats exactly what Iam doing. My teacher didnt say anything about it and thanks to your video I have found out that I didnt know what Iam doing. I now feel really terrible for overworking the tattoos and I hope they heal well or the touchups will help, when Iam little bit smarter now..
Please stop tattooing until u are in a shop learning from a pro. Or learn on yourself until your thighs are covered
I’ve been having a tough time getting my lines to go in, especially having them solid. Yet the skin also is often raised.
I keep getting stuck on whether I need to up the voltage and hit or go down. Can’t seem to figure out where to go when I get stuck. Not sure if you’ve any tips?
And thanks for the videos.
after testing a higher voltage ( you should never go past 9.5 imo) it can ibe the needle , you should try swapping a needle due to missed hairs or dry ink, ( depending on your ventilation) , sometimes it can be due to the ink being to thick , you can dilute it with some distilled water if that doesn't work
Great video! As a client, how would you approach telling your artist that some areas got overworked so that it doesn't happen in follow up sessions? I'm putting my full trust in the artist and the last thing I want to do is tell him he's doing it wrong and then sit down and have him continue working on it. But I also want to the tattoo to look great and without scarring from overworked areas.
It’s a tricky one. All you can really do is point out the bad heal and hope they make adjustments
Can over worked tatts B fix. ? I have a over work tatt on my upper forearm plus scarring.. i hope i dont have to get laser to lighting it up..
For the most part, yes…depending how bad the scarring is tho, will depend on what you can do
10 minutes of talking and not 1 demonstration. Glad videos have a scrub feature. 10 minutes of my life i did NOT waste
And a further 30sec wasted commenting. OMG I must have really ruined your day..Hang on..I’ll just go overwork on purpose to provide you with a visuals. 🤦
@ChrisRavage didn't even take me that long. Learn how to get to the point
@@brandonl1052 🤣
How can you tell when lighter colors are fully packed. Yellows, light greens etc seem to be hard to tell because of the bleeding
Let the colour settle, then you can see if you need to go back in
I need you for my next tattoo 😊
My tattoo is literally leaking all day and it’s been a week and my tattoo artist won’t say anything about it
Unfortunately that’s not a great sign, heavy leaking of plasma is a symptom of overworked areas of the tattoo especially since it’s been a week
When I tattooed 3 different types of skin while practicing, they would swell up from just the lining, except 1 of them. I wouldn't really go over the lines either because I thought it was already swelling so i never knew if I had already over worked the skin or if it was just the sensitivity of the skin, or some other factor I wasn't thinking of.
It was more than likely just the customers reaction to getting tattooed.
Awesome content mate
thanks a lot bro
My pleasure
Mannnn I needed this!!!! Your channel is overrated af!!!!
Underrated?
i used to struggle to pack Dynamic triple black into the skin but mostly i used that ink,no matter stretch hard,or stretch less,a little pressure or not,faster or slower speed of my hand and machine,some ink just wont go into everybody's the same...so i am trying to go one pass gently to open the skin,put some ointment on it and leave it for couple of minutes then go back and slowly fill it in.. that works for me,but must admit sometimes on some people not even that kind of procedure is working... amazing...
