im 14 and i really wanna become a tattoo artist not for the cash but to express my creativity and use my talent on others. first im gonna start off with doing henna, since its not permanent but when i get older i hope to start practicing on the holy orange
Tattoo pain isn't really much when it's over and you have amazing art on you forever. I personally don't feel it when I get tattooed. I'm very lucky, I have friends that have to go to multiple sessions to get something they could do in one.
@@troubled_envy I only have one tattoo (for now) and it was fifty times less painful than I thought it would be. Like, it only hurts in the pinpoint tiny spot where the needle is, and the machine makes that whole area vibrate gently so the painful stimulus is like one percent of the total sensory information Granted, it wasn't anything that has to be filled in (lettering), my artist was super gentle, and I have sensory issues, but it actually felt kinda nice
I honestly laugh at artist who offer $$$ Tapout sessions, I’m like are you sure cause I’ll fall asleep on you and leave you sitting in that chair tatting all night and day. Don’t get me wrong a artist can certainly make you tapout just by running that needle harder and deeper or with no ink over areas they’ve already finished. Lol. Me personally I’ve always told my artist to take the needle as deep as he can because I’m a electrician so I work in all types of environments and situations so I don’t have the luxury of being able to fully keep my tatt oiled up or out the sun. This way my tatts won’t fade. Don’t get me wrong I definitely take care of them some more then others. But in my opinion getting a tatt kinda feels hot. The needle won’t bother you but the heat is what I tend to only feel
I really like how you explain things with your hands while you speak ! Helps Visual learners also learn as well god job explaining like how to treat the skin
I’m starting as a 15 year old tattoo artist, this is very helpful , this is really gonna help me learn more and work up to practice more on becoming a tattoo artist in the world!
It’s crazy how I learned so much by watching this and since I already know how to draw and shade so this was very helpful for when I pick up a tattoo pen and start practicing 🖤❤️❤️
Anyone else watching this after Ink Master and wondering how some of the people made this look so hard? Maybe they should have apprenticed under this guy.
It is a lot harder than it seems. I do tattooing (albeit on fake skin and I’m still a beginner). It really depends on the machine you’re using and what you’re trying to do. Along with what techniques you use and the styles you’re used to. Though, there are a lot of bad artists and bad people on Ink Master. They also probably wanted the drama and stress of them “”struggling”” to tattoo. I don’t really watch Ink Master because I would prefer a more peaceful and calm tattooing contest show.
honestly this really helps so much man!!! i’m getting to the age where all anyone wants to talk about at school is “what do you want to do when you graduate” and every time i saw tattoo artist they give me a look of disappointment and no matter what i can’t just seem to find anything that would help me at all to really figure it out, i’ve just kinda been stuck because i didn’t understand a n y t h i n g T^T i just had big dreams and a pintrest board lol but ive been binge watching your videos and holy crap man they’re helping explain things so much! and the way you show it instead of just saying it is literally so helpful you have no idea- so seriously thank you so much- now i’m off to design dumb flower tattoos! :D
Oh god please tell me you did it sanitarily and used a proper tattoo machine, not one off Amazon Tattooing yourself is very dangerous, you could get horrible tattoo infections that could even lead to death
want to say please keep doing your teachings cant understand most people but you seem to be on a good level of understanding when your talking ..waiting on the next chapter
I been following you for years now great artist 💯🐐 I started tattooing in 2013 and I noticed between being self taught and picking up things from the guys in the shop in my city your videos are gonna change the game for the better
I want to start tattooing but I don’t think my art is good enough. I’ve been drawing and doodling since I could write but I’ve never thought I could turn it into a career. What’s your opinion on just buying a tattoo machine and practicing on fruit for fun. Is it worth the money I would spend ?
Hey. bro you need more confidence! You can do whatever you want and be whatever you choose to be. Becoming a tattoo artists requires serious work and effort ut if it is what you want to be you will do it! You can definitely start on fruit for fun even though it is nowhere near the experience to tattoo actual human skin. If you start telling people that you need people to practice on, you'd be surprised how many are down :)
if u feel like it, just do it! i ordered a tattoo pen set for just $100 on amazon and it’s absolutely worth it, even if you just use it for practice. just get started, what do u have to lose?
My dude this my advice, money is always gonne come around but time is always dwindling. Might as well buy the tattoo gun now and find out you dont like rather then always regretting the fact that you never said fuck it.
Does pig skin work better than a orange? I'm going to get my friends gun and use it n try some ink so I can start to practice... and my other friend is a tattooist and said pig skin is exactly like human skin. I have been drawing and sketching for about five years on paper and think I would or could be a good beginner. I want to try to get good at tattooing and get my own gun n all also what kind of ink do you recommend and if I were to get my own gun what is one you would recommend me to get? Sorry I know there is alot of questions, I want to talk to you and get your advice starting with the questions above. Thanks have a good week n weekend... Thanks for your advice in your video by the way keep up the good work. Great content man keep up doing what you love... Keep posting and I'll keep liking, sharing, and commenting on em. Peace. Sincerely, Levi A.
I’ve been drawing my whole life and been practicing tattoos on my family I love it so far I hope I can be a big tattoo artist soon thanks for the help!
I’m from Miami Florida. I’ve seen this guy tattoo for 10+ years. When I say he’s the greatest from the city. I really mean that. I’m not surprised his TH-cam channel blew up too
Just got the worst tattoo in the world at an actual shop by the owner herself I asked for a dagger and just got a scratchy squiggly earth worm on my leg 👍🏼 went to another shop and asked if they can fix it and they said they can getting it redone a month from now wish me luck it’s gonna have to take a miracle
Clients love watching videos like this while getting tattooed cause someone (me) with high social anxiety i wear headphones so content like this helps answer Little questions they may have that some of us artists find annoying or in our eyes "common sense" lol
I've done a lot of pencil charcoal and a bit of paint art.. I have designed tattoos but never picked up a gun. I think I will watch these videos to get me started
I don't practice on other people but it's fun to make a few mistakes on myself idk lol, thanks for the advice and tips tho I'm gonna go buy a bunch of oranges rn
Im so thankful."take your time practice be patient dont ruin tour name perfect the orange"thanks for the business tips also.thats heroic what you do sir,passing your lessons or mistakes for free,we are grateful.bless you
I just started with a dragon pen on ebay and its very easy to use and did 4 for 4 perfect tats so far and practiced on fruit for a week but its worth the training
i plan on getting a tattoo on the side of my lower leg and im worried about falling asleep because the sound of the machine is insanely comforting to me 🧍♀️
I don't tattoo but had a friend who went on to do that. But I just find this a very professional explanation. I'm probably 100% wrong but seems good to me. Keep up the great work man!
Wow! This is so informative and interesting. I've been wanting to get a tattoo for a while now, so I've been doing a bunch of research. But I'm also interested in knowing how tattooing works and maybe becoming a tattoo artist. You mention voltage in a couple of your videos, how does the voltage play into the tattoing process?
I'm not even a tatoo master, but the video is interesting and lokey satisfying, i imagine how someone is learning, trying to do it right again and again, trying to make a dream come true or whatever
Do you run at 6.5 because you have a slower hand? I feel like my hand is too slow for what they generally say to use. Im sure ill feel more Comfortable the more i do it but i take my time and on my 6th tattoo or something, and that was my first stencil and using my dominant hand and my lines are pretty straight and clean. Only one finger blow out and that on a finger. Im starting sketchy so i can work down. Lol. so im ready to shade but idk... Magnums scare the crap outta me! I don't think ive even been tattooed professionally with one because i would remember being like "uhh NOPE AND GOODBYE! "
Imagine you sit down for a tattoo and the tattoo artist just puts this video on
Get up and walk out... Lol
Lol
I don’t get it
@@eemmjayy3957 He's saying imagine you go to a "Professional tattoo artist " and he puts on a "how to" video.

Maybe they should have apprenticed under this guy.
I'm watching ink master on my tv and this on my phone. It's so cool
Ink master has some of the worst tattoo artists 💀
It is a lot harder than it seems. I do tattooing (albeit on fake skin and I’m still a beginner). It really depends on the machine you’re using and what you’re trying to do. Along with what techniques you use and the styles you’re used to.

Exactly!
Wait why does tho color of his skin have to do with anything? Thats kinda fucked up

Him: "Stay on the orange, Perfect the orange."
Me: *has already given myself 3 tattoos w/out watching any videos slowly questioning my decisions*

Oh god please tell me you did it sanitarily and used a proper tattoo machine, not one off Amazon

“How you gonna come back from that” 🤣🙌
after you master basic shapes and shading techniques could you put basic tattoo stencils on the orange and detail em?
Genius!. The orange looks just like flesh after a tat so is the best object for practice. Would have never thought of this..
