- We visited Tiggy at her very own Mt. Moon Tattoo studio to watch this pop culture tattoo expert do what she does best!
Tiggy was kind enough to talk us through her process on how to tattoo videogame characters, from preparation and stencil application to lining and colour packing including tips and tricks, plus equipment recommendations.
Watch Tiggy as she creates a bright and bold Princess Peach design with additional Super Mario-themed elements and explains the way she works.

I'm considering getting my first tattoo and it was really helpful to see the process for the first time. I thought it was really interesting and you did a great job with the narration! Thanks for making this
Hi, we're glad you liked Tiggy's tutorial!
Wonderful, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching! 😊
This is a gorgeous tattoo, but she literally did everything I was taught NOT to do from many shops and artists. From double lining (sometimes triple lining), to shading with such a small liner, to pulling Lines away from you instead of towards you, to shading horizontally instead of vertically, to packing lighter colors before darks, to wrapping in plastic wrap, to using cocoa butter as a healing ointment. It seems to me, everything done in this video should have caused more trauma to the skin. However, her result seems solid. At this point, I’m questioning whether I was simply taught wrong, or if there’s more to it. I understand every artist has their own working style, but I’ve been trying to achieve this level of “sticker-ness” for years. If anyone can enlighten me whether there is a method to this madness or if it’s just madness I’d greatly appreciate it🙏
I don't know myself, but I'm guessing it has something to do with pure experience. If you practice enough, you can make any technique work for you, even if it's not "ideal". Partially that and partially the idea that while there are wrong ways to do things, there are many right ways.
I was thrown off myself when she apparently used the same stencil twice. I can't imagine using a stencil twice! Mine always bleed out a lot.
I will use a stencil 4 or 5 times sometimes on really tricky placements. Never an issue🤷♂️ actually helps when there are tricky contours. Also baling it up like trash loosely then opening it is super helpful on like necks,etc. 🤷♂️ sounds dumb I know but works great
@@brokentooth187 thats really interesting thanks for sharing. Maybe its the kind of stencil goop I'm using lol. Do you have an online portfolio or ig?
@@DesArtandInkyou’re pretty spot on, there’s a lot of things you can’t do but also a lot of ways to do it right as well. It’s all just experience and with enough experience you’ll know what works exactly right for your practice specifically. What works for this artist might not work for someone doing b/g portraits for example; that’s what so cool about tattooing in my opinion!
In general though I think a really really well designed tattoo (like this one) can cover up little inconsistencies really well. And for the stencil thing you can totally use them twice just depends on the stencil printer and whether or not you put too much stencil stuff down.
You can't tattoo not even close to what this video displays you dont have to lie to make friends
Great work. It was very informative to follow you along.
Glad it was helpful! Make sure to subscribe for similar content 😊
I love this style of tattoo, and the description of what’s being used is fantastic .... a video of it healed would be perfect as to clear up some of the comments below …I’m really curious to see the world. Famous and how it heals with with her gentle touch ….
Great Job! Congratulations.

I really loved seeing the process of this beautiful tattoo! It inspired me to get my own Inkjecta Flite Nano Elite. I wanted to ask what kind of power supply Tiggy is using. Thanks guys!

😮Woow ❤ great tattoo artist thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Glad you liked the tutorial, thanks for watching! 😊
Eu amei ❤ ficou perfeito
Thank you for watching!
How do you tell apart the lines from the stencil to the actual lines that you ink in with your tattoo machine?
9rs for lining are a nice line weight. What machine and stroke length? Stunning tattoo
Hey Paul, Tiggy uses the Inkjecta Flite Nano Elite which is a 3.25mm stroke length!
Quality tutorial 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@KillerInkTattooEUI can't believe this is free content outstanding ❤
Which machine do you use? Also suggestions on cartridges, i bought some on Amazon, and I have noticed they dont pack ink all that well, just starting so was kinda on a budget lol.
Why not just use a bigger liner to outline the thicker lines? I feel like I would have just gone straight in with an 11 or 14.
And since you have a preference for outlining them with the 5rl instead of using a bigger liner why not make the stencil double lined instead of keeping it a thick line?
Thanks
I don't think everyone likes using larger needle groupings you gotta be a lot more hands on and it's a different type of pain for the client I think. Also some people might feel they have more accuracy with smaller configurations. It's also more forgiving as you have less space to play with a big fat liner.
@@andyhowden7655 the bigger the liner, the more forgiving it is dude. its just nonsense to use a 5rl for that shit. thats just taking more time (more money from the customer) and on top of it it causes more trauma and is more painfull. thats why alot of ppl that actually know that shit are critizing it
@Rysmatic in my own experience, which I admit isn't much since I'm an apprentice using a big shader is more painful for the customer any tips you can give on using bigger groupings would be appreciated. I used a thunder which feels like a nematic drill when using bigger configurations
1. can't get sharp corners with bigger liners, 2. too many small lines on a stencil can become confusing
Tattoo artist here. I do both. Depends on the design. On one this clean, meaning the lines are all supposed to be perfect, you have more precision with the 5rl. Larger needle groupings can work great too, but I use those with more organic designs that benefit from some personality rather than being very precise. Also, some great artist's I know struggle with clean lines, and the 5rl is more forgiving in some ways. Any jitter is more fixable the smaller the needle. The fill in fixes most things and then usually it's just a hair off if you weren't perfect. The person I am thinking of is excellent with color, but struggles with getting the lines right from the get go. He sculpts his lines, and you wouldn't even be able to tell that he does. It comes down to personal preference for these things, and making up for areas you may be personally weak, and playing to strengths instead. Smaller needle groupings also pierce the skin easier, making it less of a problem when a client has less than perfect skin. Plus, it takes extra skill and coordination to use different sized needles. Use an 18rl and you'll have to push more and change the voltage potentially to get a clean saturated line, which could prove to be a hassle if you've got multiple line weights, and some artist's are more dumb blondes than others and struggle with the variables like the amount of pressure needed. Just a few thoughts and insights. No way of tattooing is wrong. Not even if it takes longer. People pay for what they want. None of us tattoo the same, and it's not a competition, really.
Clarification on "No way of tattooing is wrong." Of course there is bad work. I'm not talking about bad work. In the realms of good work, no way is more correct than another, as long as it gets the job done. And if someone does it to milk time, then that is a separate issue. And with those, I have found that they just charge by piece and charge too much rather than just doing hourly. Those types tend to prefer short cuts to drawing a piece out.
someone can tell what color she used for the dark parts of the ghost? the "dark white" so to say? it looks like some kind of gray or light blue but cant seem to find the exact color
Looks like white with a little purple mixed in
What type of machine are you running
Hey! Tiggy uses an Inkjecta Flite Nano Elite 😊
hi...what you use all needle size?
Hey, If you skip to the very end of the video you can get a full product list of everything Tiggy used including the needle sizes 😊
I have a Bishop wand shader and wand liner. Can you colour pack with either of them? Great content!
Hey Bejan, thanks! Bishop recommend to use their colour packer, however, stroke lengths vary from person to person. There is nothing to say you can't use the other stroke lengths to colour pack, however, the 4.2 stroke length is favoured!
@@KillerInkTattooEUis the wand packer the machine she used here?
How long did the tattoo take sorry if I missed that.
Hey! The tattoo took Tiggy roughly 5 hours 😊
Hibiscrub? Not green soap?
Hey Danny! Yeah Tiggy just uses Hibiscrub 😊
HI, Awosome video!
thank you!
i wanted to ask what was the magnum size and if its a Curved mag or Flat mag :)
Hey, thanks for the watch! Tiggy uses an 11 straight magnum 😊
GG on the tattoo , but it looks like the client wept the whole time the music was on lol , so many bloody dots
Hi there !!I would like to ask something if someone has the kindness to reply to me.I have dragonhawk fold pro and i really like it but I have problems with my hands from the weight.I have found a deal for Inkjecta flite nano with an Cheyenne adjustable grip for 200 euros.Should I get it as a second machine so as to relax my hands?Or I shouldn't get it at 2024?Thanks a lot in advance for your time.
Hey, this is down to personal preference! We do sell refurbed machines which you could take a look at. Something to just be aware of is when buying second hand you won't be able to benefit from any warranties if you do have any issues, however it can be a great option if you want to try a different machine 😊
@@KillerInkTattooEU where are the refurbished ones on the site...I can't find them....I look on the .den site cause I live in Greece.
Cocoa butter is a comedogenic oil that closes up pores. Not the best for fresh tattoos. After a week its fine but fresh tattoos can get irritated by it
Thanks for sharing this knowledge, appreciate that❤
video game is not a compound word. it's two. you'd get better traction fixing that. also include "cartoon/anime" in the tags or something
Videogame Character infringement
your shading needs work
Lol no it doesn’t
Ur f ac e needs work, she does fine
