You are the only person that I’ve come across who mentioned the DISTANCE when stopping and starting a line: this is easily my favorite tattoo channel right now
I sped it up just a little bit so I could fit the portion of the video I wanted to show you guys without it getting too much like a time lapse haha Thanks for watching !
Amazing tips and information. I also want to add that although it may be obvious, it’s important to have your needles facing the same way the whole time especially when using a round liner. I noticed some people use the edge of the needles without realizing which makes line weight inconsistent. Thank you!
My mentor taught me pulling lines and pushing lines create different thickness. So you should try and be consistent by either pulling or pushing all lines, not mix matching.
Interesting... I’d like to know the logic behind that. I’ve never seen a difference fresh or healed. Any time I want to change thickness I just switch needle grouping.
today i practiced on fake skin for the first time, and my lines got really wobbly. i think its because of my depth changing while im lining. gonna work on it thanks!
As always, great video! I stole the technique of holding the tattoo machine from you :D Now the lines look much better and I hold the machine much more confident in my hand! All thanks to you :)
Hey Bro, honestly, I think you're the only one on YT who knows what he's talking about AND is able to explain it properly. I'll try everything 😊 thank you very much
Great video ! , The wand liner packs a punch, just wondering if you have sped up the video in some of the linework. Just because at 7.5 voltage some might not realize your true hand speed ,
I'm struggling so much finding the right rest for my hand (holding the machine). I constantly find my hand tensing up and then making the line shaky. Any tips?
I really appreciate this video good sir! I do have one question for you: Do you find you gain some stability on line work like this with a thicker grip wrap? Does it help with wrist fatigue at all? Thank you so much for all your helpful and informative vids!!
Beautiful work and great explanation! I apologize if this has been asked before, but do you have a video on how to create and print a stencil such as this one, bold and perfectly straight outlines, thank you.
I got a somewhat, good question i think. Sometimes when i tattoo, and i dip the needle in ink, and tattoo sometimes i just can't get the ink to go down to the skin regardless of angle, like i have REALLY bad ink flow sometimes, and seems random, i like to have longer needle hang but only fix i can do is to make it real short the hang, it annoys me alot! i use bishop wand packer/shader+cheyennes, same thing, and same thing with all kind of cart's brands. It's super super wiard, have you tried anything similar? i have tried dipping JUST the tip of needle, running, not running, and having the tube all the way down, nothing works "sometimes", sometimes it does.
I honestly bought my own machine and I started it immediately no videos or nothing, this video helped me and ima continue to watch more . You also explained why some of my tattoos have “blowouts” thank you
Hey how are ya I had a question I just started working at a shop and I have watched a ton of your videos,so thanks for your help and time. Did that 4.2 line nice and what volts did you use. I have a wand shader and I line with a coil but thinking about seeing if I could get a wand packer and get good one pass lines with it.
I have only ever used coil machines. I guess it's kind of why I'm like a binge-watching your channel a little bit today because I'm trying to find why. Is it because there's no maintenance? Do you ever use coil machines?
Hey so I don’t use them just because of the maintaining aspect. All I have to do is make sure to clean them well after each tattoo. Some you have to put a drop of oil in every couple months. But they are very easy to deal with. I haven’t used coils in about 7 years
Awesome video~ Is there a way to get rid of the ink droplets that comes out when you tattoo? Also, do you have a tip for making 2 lines connect if you had to get ink mid line. Thank you!
Idk if you got an answer yet but make sure to put Vaseline or triple anti biotic ointment on before each touch of the needle to skin and to see if your voltage might be too high. As for connecting lines, that comes with practice but a good tip is to make a few ghost strokes (strokes above the skin) to get a feel for the area your trying to connect to. Hope this helps
Can you please do a video on making stencils. What stencil machine works well and then placing them on different parts of body with tips. I suck at placing stencils and my stencil machine blows. I recently bought the printer that uses stencil ink.

Thank you for explaining all of of this! I'm just learning and all of this is so extremely helpful!!
Dude u by far have the best way of explaining things
Man I appreciate that. Thank you !
Was the video at normal speed? if so, the hand was soo fast mannn with such saturated linesss... just wow props
I sped it up just a little bit so I could fit the portion of the video I wanted to show you guys without it getting too much like a time lapse haha
Thanks for watching !
However that bishop liner is pretty dope!
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial pls make your video at normal speed i promise you see them completely
@@hitendervashist4585 LOL im sure he will do it just for you.

That’s helpful to me. Thank you 🤙🏻
Yo this is the most useful video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam , so much info in so little time crazzyyy lol thanks 🙏
You make it look so easy!!! How long did it take you to get comfortable doing line work?? That is a beautiful design! Thx
Awesome video, man! Great advices and very clear explained. Keep up your work!
This video is the most detailed that i ever found on TH-cam
I already practice lining but this helped clear so much up! I really needed this!

Helping artist master their art thank you bro for what you do
today i practiced on fake skin for the first time, and my lines got really wobbly. i think its because of my depth changing while im lining. gonna work on it thanks!
Over time they will become more steady, the back weight of a machine is weird at first and takes a while to get use to
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial cool thanks for the awnser mate!
This channel is a lifesaver 😭🙏🏻
🤓
Thank you for your videos. I’ve been tattooing for 8 months now. I’ve improved so much cuz your videos.
Beautiful line work and super helpful video! Thanks for the thorough and concise tips and explanations.
Thank you !
hi,am Marcos from Africa,Kenya and i love your work
The bishop and critical are insane Bub I’m just getting used to my 4.2 Valhalla
❤❤ great work men am here to learn and i would say this one of the most videos i came across to that's helpful 🙏
Watching you put down those lines was sooo satisfying 😱
😊
Can you make a video about drills that will improve your line work , like what did you do to make your lines solid
Look for Ben Fisher 👌 you will improve fast
As always, great video!
I stole the technique of holding the tattoo machine from you :D Now the lines look much better and I hold the machine much more confident in my hand! All thanks to you :)
Glad to help :)
So dang clean!!! The Valhalla can’t compete with The Wand for lining, huh?
Definitely not lol
Just awesome man I have learned so much from your videos I sit and rewatch all the time to the point where I have it memorized lol. Good job bro
That’s awesome! Glad to help!
Thank you :)
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial yeah bro I don’t duduu
This was so satisfying to watch! Thank you
I'm taking notes thank you so much for this advice.
Gotta say that these lines are some REAL lines 😮 👍
I don't even tattoo, but I can't stop watching this

Hey Bro, honestly, I think you're the only one on YT who knows what he's talking about AND is able to explain it properly. I'll try everything 😊 thank you very much

Hey bro i see that you are going over every line twice is that something that needs to be done
Awesome breakdown...I’m loving all of your vids.
My guy thank you for the up close content, clear communication! Super useful I just had to subscribe to the channel. Cheers!

This video was really helpful thank you
Whats the brand tattoo machine you used I need to buy one like yours
Those are some crispy lines good looorddd
Thank you for this great informative video. You have amazing clean lines, it's fascinating to see how fast and clean you work. Subscribed!!
Lot of good info from you bro good stuff .never seen a video with so much information .thanks
Great video ! , The wand liner packs a punch, just wondering if you have sped up the video in some of the linework. Just because at 7.5 voltage some might not realize your true hand speed ,
I love this design like I’m obsessing over re creating this I like it so much lol
super clean!
wow those lines are so damn clean
Hey, nice lesson! Can you show how do you hold your machine? Thanks!
Thanks for the great vid!
I'm struggling so much finding the right rest for my hand (holding the machine). I constantly find my hand tensing up and then making the line shaky. Any tips?
I love this Tattoo design
Nice lining.....hope to be able to get there soon

Hello
Love the work
What do you recommend using
When recording a video like yours
iPhone/ stand /lighting/ editing app?
Thanks
Im trying to learn how to tattoo so thanks
Nice video and more beter work 👍
Wich size of needles you like more?
#10 (0.30mm)? or.
#12 (0.35mm)?
Thank you. 😎
Stunning piece, and so helpful, but you missed some stippling on the left hand side
I missed a lot bc it’s not done lol but thank you.
Very clean! Thanks for the video!
And your work is amazing man
Is his lining sped up some? Pulling clean lines pretty quick if not!!
I really appreciate this video good sir! I do have one question for you: Do you find you gain some stability on line work like this with a thicker grip wrap? Does it help with wrist fatigue at all? Thank you so much for all your helpful and informative vids!!
For me yes. I’ve seen people do incredible lines with skinny grips too. I think it’s a matter of preference honestly.
You are welcome :)
Great sharing sir godbless! I'm your new supporter friends sending you my full support!🙌🏻
I would love a water color tattoo done and explained by you!!
I don’t do water color really.
It’s basically smooth color blending if you already know how to do that
Smooth. Beautiful line work.🤩
Thank you :)
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial love watching you work and your tattoos are super clean
Very nice tattoo! What kind of tattoo machine are you using and what kind of tattoo needle are you using?
Do you have a video on Dan dringenberg tattoo machines??
Nailed it in this video. Thank you
That’s the way a tattoo should go best outcome very clean
Thank you !
Thank you for advice
Beautiful work and great explanation! I apologize if this has been asked before, but do you have a video on how to create and print a stencil such as this one, bold and perfectly straight outlines, thank you.
I recently uploaded a video about stencils within the last month or so !
Thank you for great video!🙂
You’re welcome!
How many times can you go over a line without damaging the skin, and is it the same with shading ?
This is crazy how you meantion the airplane thing. I explained it the same way to my apprentice.
Nice!🛬. 🛫
It's so cool. Thanks for the video 👍
Helped alot thanks!!!
Great video.. Cheers. 🏴🇬🇧
Nice video, well explained. Liked it :)
What are you using to clean the ink off of the skin?
Does the stretching of the skin affect the amount of ink on skin? Or would that be hand speed to voltage?
Thanks brother. That's what's up!!
Thanks !
I honestly would like your opinion in the tattoos that i did on my husband.
What size needles did you use for this video.. I always get confused on the number like for a bug pen or for example a 1007RL VS 1207RL .
I got a somewhat, good question i think. Sometimes when i tattoo, and i dip the needle in ink, and tattoo sometimes i just can't get the ink to go down to the skin regardless of angle, like i have REALLY bad ink flow sometimes, and seems random, i like to have longer needle hang but only fix i can do is to make it real short the hang, it annoys me alot! i use bishop wand packer/shader+cheyennes, same thing, and same thing with all kind of cart's brands.

I’m the youngest tattoo artist in ohio!, thanks for the advice bro I’ll definitely use it!!🤝
When working with a power pack are you finding that you need to turn the power up a little further then when you’re working with a RCA cord?
I wonder this too. Did you find an answer?
@@jacquelinehealy5206 if they are on the cheaper side yes think the bolts are off by one to one and a half volts.
Suuuuuper clean
Thank you !
Good video. Also just curious what voltage did you personally run your valhalla for lining?
Around 10volts
Thanks for another great video. I wanted to ask. Do you use bactine at all? And if so, when? Thanks again, I appreciate you
Glad you liked the video !
And no I never use any time of numbing products on my clients
You should do a video about the numbing cream while getting tattoos if it actually works or not. Could be an interesting video.
Curious on what you have wet on the back of your glove?
What was the machine you use for a longer stroke. Beautiful lines 💓
Hey how are ya I had a question I just started working at a shop and I have watched a ton of your videos,so thanks for your help and time. Did that 4.2 line nice and what volts did you use. I have a wand shader and I line with a coil but thinking about seeing if I could get a wand packer and get good one pass lines with it.
WHAT IS THE NAME/STYLE OF THIS TATTOO? thanks!
I have only ever used coil machines. I guess it's kind of why I'm like a binge-watching your channel a little bit today because I'm trying to find why. Is it because there's no maintenance? Do you ever use coil machines?
Hey so I don’t use them just because of the maintaining aspect. All I have to do is make sure to clean them well after each tattoo. Some you have to put a drop of oil in every couple months. But they are very easy to deal with.
I haven’t used coils in about 7 years

Awesome video~
Is there a way to get rid of the ink droplets that comes out when you tattoo? Also, do you have a tip for making 2 lines connect if you had to get ink mid line. Thank you!
Tap without penetration
Idk if you got an answer yet but make sure to put Vaseline or triple anti biotic ointment on before each touch of the needle to skin and to see if your voltage might be too high. As for connecting lines, that comes with practice but a good tip is to make a few ghost strokes (strokes above the skin) to get a feel for the area your trying to connect to. Hope this helps

Can you please do a video on making stencils. What stencil machine works well and then placing them on different parts of body with tips. I suck at placing stencils and my stencil machine blows. I recently bought the printer that uses stencil ink.
Im very confident in my stencil abilities. If you'd like me to show you how I do it, I'd be happy to. micahjamesmyers@gmail.com
I use a 2mm machine hang needle and drag the needle only needle taper length
