I just got my first tattoo kit a few days ago ^-^ I already have 4 pieces of work. But 2 I'm a bit proud of. I need help, how much does it eventually cose to do the apprenticeship. My family is very poor and live in the middle of nowhere so I wanted to take my 14 years of drawing and art experience to tattooing which is something I've wanted to do for awhile because my other dreams cost too much really, and hopefully pursue this one to the fullest. I just turned 21, and I wanted to start as early as possible because my mom is terminally ill and I want to be able to help out.

Thank you for your time, i am a beginner, still learning, i did dot work, but came to see this stipple technique, hope it will work for me, m using coil machine. Hope to learn more and more from you brodr... Thanks u again ❤️..
Thank you for your support and feedback! I appreciate you! Should you ever have any questions at all don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I will do my best to guide you in the best possible direction. I am curious have you tried a stipple approach with a coil machine ?
Hi! I don't know if you reply to comments on older videos, but so far your content has been incredibly helpful, so I'm already subscribed! I have a question: Is it normal to have to pass the needle so many times to achieve the shading? Or is it because of the fake skin that it takes so many passes? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your time and support! I appreciate you. This is a great question I feel. So when it comes to fake skin we will certainly have to work harder to shade, which means more passes. Not all fake skins are like this but the ones that do require more work, I would say just to work them as needed. This will translate to softer fake skins that require less passes, we will also work those as needed.

I'm amazed at how clean your practice skin is! haha! There are times I can't see any of my lines because of how bad the ink stains the skin. I've tried priming the skin with green soap and vaseline before practicing, but I can't wipe the excess ink away without making a huge mess of things. I do use Vaseline to wipe with. I haven't tried more expensive skin yet- so no Pound of Flesh or ReelSkin. I do practice on CPR dummies that I have which is a similar material to the fake skin, but it's way easier to wipe excess ink away. I can actually see my lines! You're magical! haha! I'm using the Yuelong skin that you're using here. Maybe I got a bad batch? Thank you for this video! You've taught me a lot :)
Haha when I first got some fake skins I remember that I had a smudging problem too. It really all depends on the skin we are using. Rubber felt skins typically are super tough to work with because of the smudging. Do you know which skin you selected upon checking out from the Yuelong Amazon Page? We have silicone which are great for keeping clean but difficult and tough to tattoo. Every skin is different and I feel we should try to expand our pallet a bit and test out different skins. All of the skins on the market can teach us a lot. Should you ever have any questions at all don’t hesitate to reach out to me and let me know. I will do my best to assist you in the best possible direction. 🤝
@@DanielYuck Thank you for replying :) I re-checked my order and the description of the skins says it's latex- but it's definitely not latex. I'm also an SFX makeup artist who uses latex all the time, so I'm very familiar with how it feels. This skin is very thin, tough, not flexible- I get zero stretch out of it, and it feels more like rubber than latex or silicone. I also have to put another skin under the one I'm tattooing or my needles go through to the table even when I'm being very gentle. I know my needle depth is good because I've done outlines in my own skin and haven't blown out any lines. I made sure to get it from the Yeulong store on Amazon to avoid knockoffs. I did get a small frame of skin from Pound of Flesh. The stretch is awesome on that skin, but it's a struggle to get ink into it. If I were to go from that into human skin without ever being in skin before, I'd be blowing out lines all over the place...haha! I mean, it's good skin, but damn! Even getting a good solid outline is difficult. I can say that the Yeulong skin takes ink easier than POF. I'll still use my Yeulong skinflaps for outline practice, but I just can't for shading. Like I said- I can't wipe the ink away enough to see my progress. I appreciate you, good sir :)
@@LucidFrameProduction I know exactly what you mean! I’m grateful that I started on the think Yuelong fake skin flaps ahaha because I developed and worked into a soft hand. Don’t get me wrong we are all prone to blowouts, anytime we put a needle into skin we are prone to blowouts however there is so much we can do to do our absolute best to prevent blowouts as much as possible. Now I feel more comfortable so when I use thicker skin I’m not totally against it anymore however if we are just learning I would always recommend think skins. Furthermore I’ve noticed fluctuations in the skins I get from pretty much every vendor. Reelskin are nice and consistent but from what I’ve used rather thick although someone has mentioned we can get different thicknesses. The Yuelong skins are my go to still just because they do what I need them to do, but they are very hard to work shading into. I feel what this issue is is the way they are made. I think it could be something with the ratios with ingredients used to make the skin. The formula could fluctuate a bit depending on whom makes the batch, what ingredients were used , etc. I really feel this is where the fluctuations come into play. I would have to see the skin so I can tell you if it’s a rubber or silicone felt. I got a batch that doesn’t accept 3rl haha but accepts shaders and bigger liners like no tomorrow. One thing I’ve learned from my experiences that every fake skin has different things to offer. 1 fake skin will teach us liking better over another. 1 fake skin will teach us shading over another. 1 fake skin will teach us this and you get by drift. Since they are all made different they all have something to offer and I really feel there is not 1 skin to rule them all at the moment haha. Thank you for your support and feedback 🤝
@@DanielYuck I agree- every skin is good for something. I can say that practicing on CPR dummies has been very educational. I make horror dollies and friends give me dolls and stuff to make into zombies and whatnot. A friend gave me 3 CPR dummies to zombify and I've been using one of them to practice in. I can say that after practicing on a human-shaped dummy I never wanna tattoo ribs on a real human...haha! Their skin is tough, but it takes ink well- even for shading. Plus it gives good practice stenciling and tattooing on a human form. I can also wipe the ink away to see my progress. But, so far, there's just nothing like real human skin. It's a damn luxury after tattooing fake thingies! My name is Tricia, by the way. I sincerely do appreciate you for your videos and for responding to people. You're awesome :)
@@LucidFrameProduction thats way too cool! If the opportunity ever presented itself I would love to tattoo something like that as well haha. That’s way too cool. This dawns the idea of me getting some fake limbs and practicing on limbs. For me personally I love to work on human skin, there truly isn’t anything like it. I feel like tattooing skin is easier in my hand over tattooing fake skin as human skin is softer and for me personally easier to work with. The natural con-caves of the human body never stopped me from applying a good line haha. I’m certainly faced with tasks upon tattooing such as figuring out how I am going to place myself to pull this line correctly, or how deep this dermis area is. I work my way naturally around my tattoos on a human. Not being able to stretch on fake skin or tattooing on a flat surface never had a negative impact on my tattooing, but this may vary from person to person. So being able to tattoo dummies of such can be a genuine blessing for those whom are looking to develop their workflow and process in that area. To mimic the actual process is awesome in my opinion. I genuinely appreciate you, your support and feedback Tricia!

Hi Daniel! I just found you not too long ago and I appreciate you so much for all these videos LOL every time I watch one of your videos I let all the ads run even if it’s five minutes worth of ads 😭😂
do you think you could do a video on how you find form for shading objects where its not so obvious? or do you already have one that im missing! thanks a ton! this video helped me a lot
I'm a little confused...I thought you had to go deep enough to lay solid black like you do with lining in order for the ink to stay? Or does the shading just manage to stay by doing it that lightly on the surface of the skin somehow?
That was a little confusing so what I mean is it looks like youre laying the color really gently on the uppermost layer of the skin but I thought ink fell out if you dont go to the dermis?

That’s a very good question! So it all depends. Example when I use fake skin I will typically leave it straight black as the fake skins are tougher to work with for me, but when I am on human skin and I shade I have a grays wash system I am developing into. I like to have those tonal values along with my pressure upon application, I can achieve some pretty neat results.

That is a great question! I can't say this technique would be good for this , or best for that because we can all use this technique as we see fit. It can possibly work well for both of those style should you need to have this approach. We can also combine different shading techniques in 1 tattoo. I personally do not feel that there are rules but more so our own guidelines to follow. I always encourage myself to try new configurations and new ways of tattooing just to see what I like and what I don't like.
Hi, I have a simple question that's been hard to answer... Is stippling (dotwork), whip shading, and pepper shading different from each other? Or are they just different synonyms for the same technique? I mean, does the term vary the effects or the hand movements? I've found several conflicting views on the matter and am even more confused now. Thank you in advance!
That’s actually a good question! From my experience the needle configuration will be more apparent with standard sized needles over bugpin needles. The configuration showing up within the tattoo on this silicone skin is due to the material I am using. Don’t get me wrong the configuration can and does also show up on skin but the difference is that human skin heals which means the ink settles into where it’s going to live indefinitely. So when the ink settles into the skin the lines tend to bold out a bit and the configuration will typically dissipate.
Hey dude can u make a video on tatt machines , comparing them based on ur experience. Reviews basically of what you tried and which one you prefer when it comes to tattooing
I would love to hear how you find form. I'm all over the place. the very point you made about the negative space hit me like a brick. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your support! I am actually working on something for you all on this topic. Bare with me as I get it done and released for you all. I appreciate your support 🤝
This is a good point and question! So depending on the setup will determine the voltage that will be used to my understanding. So for me I use the CNC Q series machines and a few others from cnc so these machines may run at a different voltage range over say this machine from this manufacturer and so forth.
Great question! I have not release the video yet. I will be along with a hand full of other videos I feel will help others. I apologize for the inconvenience and delay, I appreciate your support and patience with me.
That’s a good question! When I stipple I am using the natural motion my wrist creates while using the very very tip of my needle only. The pressure I apply is very little. I focus on the speed matching with my hand so when I pull the lines they come out as a line of dots. The pressure aspect of the approach is more of a natural action based on how I want the saturation, transitions and gradients to read. When I want it darker I will typically apply a bit more pressure over the amount I would apply over a lighter tone.
I appreciate you being detailed on your answers, all of this effort that you are making on every video and every comment response KEEP IT UP BRO! I'm sure more good things are coming for you
That’s a good question! I feel it really all depends on the technique and technicality the tattooist at hand provides. Round Shaders can be used to line and me personally I love to line with round shaders especially on my mandala style tattoos. Round magnums can be used to line but requires a specific approach. If I may, What type of needle were you using specific?
It’s kinda like 3d shapes, you have to picture where the light is hitting and where the dark spots will be, if you take a close look at materials like leather brick and all other kinds you will get the general idea of where to shade
@@mosesnavarrette5388 thanks. Like I said. I've done a few tattoos on myself. Some are good. Some need to be touched up. And one is kindof bad but I still like it. 👍practice
Not a tattoo artist nor do I plan on ever being a tattoo artist. I've gotten a lot of ink. 1 think I like about whip shading is it looks better as it ages and it blurs out and looks like grey wash shading. Obviously gray wash shading looks cleaner on a fresh tattoo but doesn't age as well as solid black shading techniques
You’re welcome! I appreciate your feedback, time and support! It means a lot to me. If you ever have questions along your way please don’t hesitate to drop a comment and I will assist you in the best possible direction 🤝
Yes! When it comes to tattoo practice I use simple VASELINE to keep my fake skins clean. After each pass I apply a little Vaseline which really helps with cleaning the excess ink off.
Thank you so much for your video it really helped me understand the techniques I was having such a hard time before! I was just wondering what you are using to wipe away the excess ink?? I know the smudging on the skin could be down to the fake skin itself but honestly I don’t have any products to get the excess ink off and am currently using face cream! Lol! Any product suggestions would be helpful as I am just starting to build up my kit.
Love this video! So how does the ink stay well because your not putting the ink into the second layer? Also going over same spot multiple spot many times does make a problem area in the skin? TiA 🥰
Great Question! In terms of holding we can never truly know how the ink will hold as there are many many variables to consider. By that I mean if we have been tattooing 1-2 years we wont know how the tattoos will hold up in say 10 years. What I can say is if we apply the tattoos with professional precision, we use good sterilized gear, put the ink exactly where it needs to be I feel our part would have been done correctly. Now remember there is a completely different side of this question which involves the skin we are tattooing. A tattooing holding up will have a lot to do with the persons day to day hygiene, the care they take for their tattoos, all the way down to their lifestyle. Are they in the sun a lot? Do they apply skin moisturizers regularly? A smooth and healthy healing process begins with the client before they get a tattoo. Long story short if the tattoo is applied technically correct, nice saturations, nice transitions, nice shadings etc, chances are the tattoos will hold.

That is a great question! There is a lot that can go into that question overall but in a nutshell yes we can line , stipple, with any color. I would look into the manufacturer and the consistency of the ink so you can get something that works for you. I will bring a video on this within the coming week or so.

Hi! I don't know if you reply to comments on older videos, but so far your content has been incredibly helpful, so I'm already subscribed! I have a question: Is it normal to have to pass the needle so many times to achieve the shading? Or is it because of the fake skin that it takes so many passes? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your time and support! I appreciate you.
This is a great question I feel. So when it comes to fake skin we will certainly have to work harder to shade, which means more passes. Not all fake skins are like this but the ones that do require more work, I would say just to work them as needed. This will translate to softer fake skins that require less passes, we will also work those as needed.
@@DanielYuck Thank you very much for the response! Tomorrow I'm going to buy my first machine along with a variety of needles and fake skin to start practicing. Then it will be time for the self-tattoo😁

9RS to do linework? Amazing. I use a 14RL. I tend to see lines if I use a shader Daniel. Im going to try this next time.
Great video man I've been wondering how this was done ! Can't wait to try it
I love this style, it’s honestly one of my consistent styles I do.
I like the whip technique but I also apply a circular hand motion at times just to get it really started, especially for the bigger pieces.
Great video tho! Very educational! I’ll sub!
Thank you for your support and feedback! I appreciate you. 🤝
I personally love this shading approach. I love the way it looks and I think it’s amazing how we can layer literal dots over one another to achieve these sort of effects.

Is mast flip pen type of dragon hawk good for beginners? Watching from Philippines thankyou for respond more vlog
I'm amazed at how clean your practice skin is! haha! There are times I can't see any of my lines because of how bad the ink stains the skin. I've tried priming the skin with green soap and vaseline before practicing, but I can't wipe the excess ink away without making a huge mess of things. I do use Vaseline to wipe with. I haven't tried more expensive skin yet- so no Pound of Flesh or ReelSkin. I do practice on CPR dummies that I have which is a similar material to the fake skin, but it's way easier to wipe excess ink away. I can actually see my lines! You're magical! haha! I'm using the Yuelong skin that you're using here. Maybe I got a bad batch? Thank you for this video! You've taught me a lot :)
Haha when I first got some fake skins I remember that I had a smudging problem too. It really all depends on the skin we are using. Rubber felt skins typically are super tough to work with because of the smudging. Do you know which skin you selected upon checking out from the Yuelong Amazon Page?
We have silicone which are great for keeping clean but difficult and tough to tattoo. Every skin is different and I feel we should try to expand our pallet a bit and test out different skins. All of the skins on the market can teach us a lot.

@@DanielYuck Thank you for replying :) I re-checked my order and the description of the skins says it's latex- but it's definitely not latex. I'm also an SFX makeup artist who uses latex all the time, so I'm very familiar with how it feels.
This skin is very thin, tough, not flexible- I get zero stretch out of it, and it feels more like rubber than latex or silicone. I also have to put another skin under the one I'm tattooing or my needles go through to the table even when I'm being very gentle. I know my needle depth is good because I've done outlines in my own skin and haven't blown out any lines.
I made sure to get it from the Yeulong store on Amazon to avoid knockoffs. I did get a small frame of skin from Pound of Flesh. The stretch is awesome on that skin, but it's a struggle to get ink into it. If I were to go from that into human skin without ever being in skin before, I'd be blowing out lines all over the place...haha! I mean, it's good skin, but damn! Even getting a good solid outline is difficult. I can say that the Yeulong skin takes ink easier than POF.
I'll still use my Yeulong skinflaps for outline practice, but I just can't for shading. Like I said- I can't wipe the ink away enough to see my progress. I appreciate you, good sir :)
@@LucidFrameProduction I know exactly what you mean! I’m grateful that I started on the think Yuelong fake skin flaps ahaha because I developed and worked into a soft hand.
Don’t get me wrong we are all prone to blowouts, anytime we put a needle into skin we are prone to blowouts however there is so much we can do to do our absolute best to prevent blowouts as much as possible. Now I feel more comfortable so when I use thicker skin I’m not totally against it anymore however if we are just learning I would always recommend think skins.
Furthermore I’ve noticed fluctuations in the skins I get from pretty much every vendor. Reelskin are nice and consistent but from what I’ve used rather thick although someone has mentioned we can get different thicknesses. The Yuelong skins are my go to still just because they do what I need them to do, but they are very hard to work shading into.
I feel what this issue is is the way they are made. I think it could be something with the ratios with ingredients used to make the skin. The formula could fluctuate a bit depending on whom makes the batch, what ingredients were used , etc. I really feel this is where the fluctuations come into play.
I would have to see the skin so I can tell you if it’s a rubber or silicone felt. I got a batch that doesn’t accept 3rl haha but accepts shaders and bigger liners like no tomorrow. One thing I’ve learned from my experiences that every fake skin has different things to offer. 1 fake skin will teach us liking better over another. 1 fake skin will teach us shading over another. 1 fake skin will teach us this and you get by drift. Since they are all made different they all have something to offer and I really feel there is not 1 skin to rule them all at the moment haha.
Thank you for your support and feedback 🤝
@@DanielYuck I agree- every skin is good for something. I can say that practicing on CPR dummies has been very educational. I make horror dollies and friends give me dolls and stuff to make into zombies and whatnot. A friend gave me 3 CPR dummies to zombify and I've been using one of them to practice in. I can say that after practicing on a human-shaped dummy I never wanna tattoo ribs on a real human...haha!
Their skin is tough, but it takes ink well- even for shading. Plus it gives good practice stenciling and tattooing on a human form. I can also wipe the ink away to see my progress. But, so far, there's just nothing like real human skin. It's a damn luxury after tattooing fake thingies!
My name is Tricia, by the way. I sincerely do appreciate you for your videos and for responding to people. You're awesome :)
@@LucidFrameProduction thats way too cool! If the opportunity ever presented itself I would love to tattoo something like that as well haha. That’s way too cool. This dawns the idea of me getting some fake limbs and practicing on limbs.
For me personally I love to work on human skin, there truly isn’t anything like it. I feel like tattooing skin is easier in my hand over tattooing fake skin as human skin is softer and for me personally easier to work with.
The natural con-caves of the human body never stopped me from applying a good line haha. I’m certainly faced with tasks upon tattooing such as figuring out how I am going to place myself to pull this line correctly, or how deep this dermis area is. I work my way naturally around my tattoos on a human. Not being able to stretch on fake skin or tattooing on a flat surface never had a negative impact on my tattooing, but this may vary from person to person. So being able to tattoo dummies of such can be a genuine blessing for those whom are looking to develop their workflow and process in that area. To mimic the actual process is awesome in my opinion.
I genuinely appreciate you, your support and feedback Tricia! It’s means a lot to me 🤝

I always wondered how to stipple shade ...wish I knew about your videos when started instead trials and error s...
Hi Daniel! I just found you not too long ago and I appreciate you so much for all these videos LOL every time I watch one of your videos I let all the ads run even if it’s five minutes worth of ads 😭😂
do you think you could do a video on how you find form for shading objects where its not so obvious? or do you already have one that im missing! thanks a ton! this video helped me a lot
I'm a little confused...I thought you had to go deep enough to lay solid black like you do with lining in order for the ink to stay? Or does the shading just manage to stay by doing it that lightly on the surface of the skin somehow?
That was a little confusing so what I mean is it looks like youre laying the color really gently on the uppermost layer of the skin but I thought ink fell out if you dont go to the dermis?
Loving this alot...learning more...Will be back later! :)

💯👊🏿Respect from Montréal
@@mobinknox thank you! Respect from Texas 🙏 much love ✌️
Do you dilute your ink while shading or just go lighter handed?
That’s a very good question!
So it all depends. Example when I use fake skin I will typically leave it straight black as the fake skins are tougher to work with for me, but when I am on human skin and I shade I have a grays wash system I am developing into. I like to have those tonal values along with my pressure upon application, I can achieve some pretty neat results.
Good teaching example for shading thanks

I subbed right after iheard u talk about the bugpin preference to stipple shading. 3rl bugpin all day
Haha we are now bugpin brothers!!
would you rather use this technique with traditional or portrait? or would it be good for both ?
That is a great question!
I can't say this technique would be good for this , or best for that because we can all use this technique as we see fit.
It can possibly work well for both of those style should you need to have this approach. We can also combine different shading techniques in 1 tattoo. I personally do not feel that there are rules but more so our own guidelines to follow.
I always encourage myself to try new configurations and new ways of tattooing just to see what I like and what I don't like.
This helped so much! What brand fake skin you use? I like how the ink wipes off.
Awesome! Am I a tattooer now?
It’s possible! It’s hard to say. Are you?
Hi, I have a simple question that's been hard to answer... Is stippling (dotwork), whip shading, and pepper shading different from each other? Or are they just different synonyms for the same technique? I mean, does the term vary the effects or the hand movements? I've found several conflicting views on the matter and am even more confused now. Thank you in advance!
Dude Lining with a shader and shading with a liner VERY COOL 😊
Can you do a video on needle cartridges & name/label needles &/or cartridges are for?
Seeing the needle configuration in the lining, is that just a product of using fake skin?
That’s actually a good question!
From my experience the needle configuration will be more apparent with standard sized needles over bugpin needles.
The configuration showing up within the tattoo on this silicone skin is due to the material I am using.
Don’t get me wrong the configuration can and does also show up on skin but the difference is that human skin heals which means the ink settles into where it’s going to live indefinitely.
So when the ink settles into the skin the lines tend to bold out a bit and the configuration will typically dissipate.
More about the lines are not enough saturated in my view
Hey dude can u make a video on tatt machines , comparing them based on ur experience. Reviews basically of what you tried and which one you prefer when it comes to tattooing
Tips on getting your grip so ... big without using 5 rolls of adhesive tape🙈🤨?
Daniel did you do a video on form - I can’t find it ? Cheers
I would love to hear how you find form. I'm all over the place. the very point you made about the negative space hit me like a brick. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your support!
I am actually working on something for you all on this topic. Bare with me as I get it done and released for you all. I appreciate your support 🤝
oh so, im guessing stippling and shading this way would hurt less versus if you were to get a black out or thicker shade
Yeeeeett!!!! Stipples :)~ They suggest 2 volts for stippling , is that too low?
I am curious as well
He said he uses 5 volt
This is a good point and question!
So depending on the setup will determine the voltage that will be used to my understanding.
So for me I use the CNC Q series machines and a few others from cnc so these machines may run at a different voltage range over say this machine from this manufacturer and so forth.
Did you already create the video explaining your approach to form and where you shade?
Great question!
I have not release the video yet. I will be along with a hand full of other videos I feel will help others. I apologize for the inconvenience and delay, I appreciate your support and patience with me.
Can I do this much layers on human skin? Thanks for the lesson
Does the stroke make a big difference when doing this shading.
When stippling are you adding more pressure than whipping
That’s a good question!
When I stipple I am using the natural motion my wrist creates while using the very very tip of my needle only.
The pressure I apply is very little. I focus on the speed matching with my hand so when I pull the lines they come out as a line of dots.
The pressure aspect of the approach is more of a natural action based on how I want the saturation, transitions and gradients to read. When I want it darker I will typically apply a bit more pressure over the amount I would apply over a lighter tone.
I appreciate you being detailed on your answers, all of this effort that you are making on every video and every comment response KEEP IT UP BRO! I'm sure more good things are coming for you
Is it good to use the shading needle as a liner I did it a try on my sister friend I like but I’m still learning it was a small tattoo
That’s a good question!
I feel it really all depends on the technique and technicality the tattooist at hand provides.
Round Shaders can be used to line and me personally I love to line with round shaders especially on my mandala style tattoos.
Round magnums can be used to line but requires a specific approach.
If I may, What type of needle were you using specific?
These videos are very helpful. I'm taking note!!! How do you choose where you put your shading?
This is a GREAT question!
I am actually working on a video for this. Stay tuned and bare with me as I get this done for you all.
It’s kinda like 3d shapes, you have to picture where the light is hitting and where the dark spots will be, if you take a close look at materials like leather brick and all other kinds you will get the general idea of where to shade
Hey...thanks. I'm trying. I'm good enough for now...need more practice. 😌
@@mosesnavarrette5388 thanks. Like I said. I've done a few tattoos on myself. Some are good. Some need to be touched up. And one is kindof bad but I still like it. 👍practice
So is the skin heat sensitive? Is that why the black stencil fades so you can see the actual tattoo gun working?
What works better for this a long or short stroke ? 3.5 or 4.2
Not a tattoo artist nor do I plan on ever being a tattoo artist. I've gotten a lot of ink. 1 think I like about whip shading is it looks better as it ages and it blurs out and looks like grey wash shading. Obviously gray wash shading looks cleaner on a fresh tattoo but doesn't age as well as solid black shading techniques
Thankyou for explaining it so properly ❤️
You’re welcome!
I appreciate your feedback, time and support! It means a lot to me.

Do all carts fit all cartridge guns? Or?
Are you using Vaseline (petro jelly) to wipe after each pass?
Through my research I have found that a lot of people use vaseline for the fake skin since it's cheaper than a & d
Yes! When it comes to tattoo practice I use simple VASELINE to keep my fake skins clean.
After each pass I apply a little Vaseline which really helps with cleaning the excess ink off.
I agree! For practice Vaseline is good enough. For human skin Id go with Inkeeze any day.
hey man great video, I', having trouble cleaning the ink out from the synth skin, what do you use for it? thanks
Thank you so much for your video it really helped me understand the techniques I was having such a hard time before! I was just wondering what you are using to wipe away the excess ink?? I know the smudging on the skin could be down to the fake skin itself but honestly I don’t have any products to get the excess ink off and am currently using face cream! Lol! Any product suggestions would be helpful as I am just starting to build up my kit.
Vaseline!
Just out of curiosity why do tattoo artists prefer to use a shader as a liner sometimes?
Love this video! So how does the ink stay well because your not putting the ink into the second layer? Also going over same spot multiple spot many times does make a problem area in the skin? TiA 🥰
What type of needle you used to outline the rose it looks sick
The problem with me learning to tattoo is id inevitably end up continually tattooing myself... then I won't get mom and dads inheritence...
😂😂 I am not entirely sure how to respond to that. I’d probably play it the same way tbh haha
The trick is to put them where only you can see them :)
nice vid bro, thanks for knowledge. greetings from chile
You’re welcome!
Thank you very much for your support!
I appreciate you 🤝
still watching as i ask questions ... would this technique hold with color shading ? take more whipping?
Great Question!
In terms of holding we can never truly know how the ink will hold as there are many many variables to consider.
By that I mean if we have been tattooing 1-2 years we wont know how the tattoos will hold up in say 10 years.
What I can say is if we apply the tattoos with professional precision, we use good sterilized gear, put the ink exactly where it needs to be I feel our part would have been done correctly.
Now remember there is a completely different side of this question which involves the skin we are tattooing. A tattooing holding up will have a lot to do with the persons day to day hygiene, the care they take for their tattoos, all the way down to their lifestyle. Are they in the sun a lot? Do they apply skin moisturizers regularly?
A smooth and healthy healing process begins with the client before they get a tattoo.
Long story short if the tattoo is applied technically correct, nice saturations, nice transitions, nice shadings etc, chances are the tattoos will hold.
How speed the needle when u do shading... I'm just a beginner thanks

Can I use any color with this technique? Or will it not show up as good?
That is a great question!
There is a lot that can go into that question overall but in a nutshell yes we can line , stipple, with any color. I would look into the manufacturer and the consistency of the ink so you can get something that works for you. I will bring a video on this within the coming week or so.
-thank you… You so patient 👌🏻❤
