At least he is honest about them not lasting as long as traditional styles
unlike romeo lacoste
@@lauren8538 prolly telling girls how their tatto will last forever when done naked after sexual intercourse
Lauren source?
@@videroryminds5650 just google his name, its all over the place
Herr Tutorial2.0 can’t seem to find it, I only got a rapper not a tattoo artist.
“We don’t choose this body, but we get to choose how to decorate it” best line in the whole video!❤️
Not really Courtney.... not really...
Yes!
Yes! I loved that
It wasn't that profound.
Just workout in starting
I love these bang bang interviews. He is so articulate.
And educated
Completely agreed. Also very informative.
Tiff Inwonderland he went to a preparatory boarding school. He’s no dummy.
Lol your dumb
*you're*
"I don't do this job to make friends or to impress other tattoo artists" Absolutely love that line.
Why? That should be what every artist says, no?
I don’t get my tattoos to impress anyone either. Someone always got something to say but I love my tattoos
I love his positivity. I can't count the number of times I've seen tattoo artists scoffing at something a person holds dear to them. It doesn't sit well with me. When I see an artist like him who is there for the client, and there for that persons unique creativity, symbolism, and down to make it a memory/keepsake, it just grabs my heartstrings. Gets me right here💖.
It’s so refreshing hearing an artist be upfront that micro-tattoos will not hold as well. Shit heads like Romeo Lacoste have left a bad name on single needle tattoos but I have so much respect for Bang Bang. Do whatever tattoo style you like for yourself, just make an informed decision ❤️
Specially after what he’s done
It's disgusting that people still support him and he's still tattooing
Didn't this guy hire Romeo?
I’m more of a fan of bangbang as a person than his art itself (although it’s great) calm, informative, humble)
Patricio Alatorre Muñoz LMAOO bro he’s not humble whatsoever
If you have Instagram look up @astrid.elizabethe she’s an up coming artist who is gaining traction fast. He came at her for making a comment of “bang bang tattoo studios” prices, if you’re unaware their shop minimum is $500, understandably it’s great quality work but at times he can be an asshole. This is coming from someone who once admired him as an artist as well as a person
What’s up bro? Yeah, I’m going to go check that comment out. I got tattooed at BangBang myself. Definitely very expensive. In my eyes tattoos can’t be overpriced, it’s an art at the end of the day and the artist can price his/her work at whatever cost they want since there’s no competition. 100% unique, I personally wouldn’t pay to get tatted by him bc His style isn’t for me. Is there another reason you think he’s not humble other than the price?
Couldn’t find her instagram
@@devoncrooks1124 he sued a former employee for leaving his shop and several tattooers called him out
I love how he explained that we dont choose our bodies yet we DO choose what tattoos we put on it. I really appreciate that, i get asked about whether I'll regret everything or not, all the time
I want him to react to korean tattoo artists. They are insanely beautiful but I'm not sure how they will look after a few years
lily what do you mean korean tattoo artists? they all do different stuff. i got my half sleeve dont there and it was great.
It's probably less of an issue in Korea because Asian people in general age really badly... a 50 year old Asian woman usually looks like a raisin with legs so who cares if her tattoos went blurry.
@@ladydoombot There are certain styles of art that are popular in different cultures. Google 'south korean tattoo artists'.
@@stephencooper5155 eye.... i think you have your people mixed up
@@stephencooper5155 what are u talking about? Asians look 19 up until around 50, then they start looking old like every body else. White people age the worst IMO. You sheltered soy boy.
0:48 It's like one person I've heard said. "People tell me that my tats will look ugly when I will be elder. My skin will look ugly anyway."
Nemo TheEight exactly fuck everyone that says that especially if they old themselves
Yeah but say if you get a micro tattoo at 25. By the time you're 30, your tattoo will probably look quite bad, but I doubt your skin is very ugly yet. Ofc if you don't care that's rad but personally that's why I'm hesitant to get one.
@@tillie_brn my skin is ugly since I was 12. One of reasons I don't have tattoos is skin disease and not knowing if I can have them with it (other is my job). Plus yeah, I think they should inform client how tattoo will look after certain period it was more about people telling you you shouldn't have any tattoos.
Ok, cool, but why can't you show us an aged micro tattoo?! He talks about his own micro tattoo, why not show a close-up of that?! It's great to acknowledge that it won't stay exactly the same over time, but this video would be a 1000 times more useful to people who are interested in micro tattoos if they showed a few pictures of aged micro tattoos instead of fresh ones!
Maybe it's on his ass
@@airportsecurityaustria182 he said in the video it's on his finger
thejewelledparrot maybe he fingers it
Agreed and these replies have me rolling my eyes
Bc nobody would get his tattoos if they'd know how bad it looks after a couple of years, getting a lion tattooed on your finger would be kinda stupid when the artists tells you "yeah give it a year it will look way worse in 5 just cover it up" (which would be the responsibilitly he talks about but apparently doesnt apply on himself, even tho he is pretty likeable)
The way he speaks is very soothing and thoughtful. Really appreciate this guy speaking his mind.
I'm not a fan of micro tattoos and I'm not really a fan of Bang Bang either, but I appreciate his eloquence in explaining them and it made for a really good video
Do u mean ur not a fan of him as a person? Not trying to attack u just genuinely curious
Skye Chavis I moreso just don't care for him as a tattoo artist. I've never been a fan of the "celebrity tattoo artist" title that he seems to base his career on, and I think what he charges is really steep, especially in the case of micro tattoos. That's just my personal opinion, of course
hes bullshitting , images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrExo.l.w9d3iIA3JWJzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTBsZ29xY3ZzBHNlYwNzZWFyY2gEc2xrA2J1dHRvbg--;_ylc=X1MDOTYwNjI4NTcEX3IDMgRhY3RuA2NsawRjc3JjcHZpZANqLjBxUVRFd0xqS0loWUtWV1pad0ZRNThOekl1TndBQUFBQWhqdGtkBGZyA3lmcC10BGZyMgNzYS1ncARncHJpZANPSTdmTU5ZeVM5S2tITzRnX3k1UWVBBG5fc3VnZwMwBG9yaWdpbgNpbWFnZXMuc2VhcmNoLnlhaG9vLmNvbQRwb3MDMARwcXN0cgMEcHFzdHJsAwRxc3RybAM0OARxdWVyeQNjYXJsYSUyMGRldmlnbmUlMjBmaW5nZXIlMjB0YXR0b28lMjBsaW9uJTIwZmFkZWQEdF9zdG1wAzE1NjEzMjg1NTU-?p=carla+devigne+finger+tattoo+lion+faded&fr=yfp-t&fr2=sb-top-images.search&ei=UTF-8&n=60&x=wrt&y=Search#id=6&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-production.global.ssl.fastly.net%2Fuploads%2Fphotos%2Ffile%2F248537%2Fcara-delevingne-lion-tattoo.jpg&action=click
these tats wont last more than 5 years
Hey There any finger tattoo is gunna turn to shit tho lol
I like all the bang bang videos, he’s never seriously degrading or judgmental and finds something good out of everything unlike the other artists tend to be
Does anybody else watch tattoo videos yet have no tattoos or plans for any?
Nah, already have 3 and planning on many more 😂
7 and plan on more
I don't have any tattoo, but I'm thinking about getting one
Joao Manoel don’t get one
Not getting a tattoo is the new tattoo
@@DavidMossMGS shit, you're right
Please do a video on the basics of different styles of tattooing, like what a traditional American looks like vs Japanese etc. I think it would be really helpful for people trying to figure out what kind of style would be right for them.
Havent checked Bang Bangs tattoos out yet but hes such a nice guy and explains things honestly and humbly. He looks like one of the few tattoo artists that will educate you rather than humiliate you for not being so knowledgeable about a topic in tattooing.
"I'm kinda down for the ride." Hell yeah. My mood exactly
The artists at bang bang are extremely talented but I can’t imagine paying $500+ for a tiny tattoo that won’t last, yes micro tattoos are beautiful and very detailed but once it heals and as time goes by it will not look the same and will not last. Research micro tattoos before and after it’s not as pretty
To be fair, we don't actually know how these tattoos will age at this point. We've had a LOT of very recent developments in the inks and the machines used, so we don't really know how these new inks will react. My fave tattoo artists says they have 10 year old micro tattoos that still look beautiful, esp because they're good with aftercare.
@@Wendy-yu3hg there’s a video of someone showing the tattoo she got from him a year healed. It is very faded and blurry and she took good care of it. All her tattoos that she got before that one look way better still.
@@freyalee1415 I've seen some that still look amazing after one or two years. I think artist and technique has a lot to do with it as well.
I’d love to get one but I’d want something that lasts
Okcurrr they all last it’s just you have to get to a professional.
okcurrrrr (Cardi b voice)
Nurf they don’t all last even if the artist is the best in some areas my friend
Nurf no they really don’t last. Some might last longer than other but they will fade out eventually
Nurf I'm guessing you don't have many tattoos, or you're getting your information from someone else that doesn't know what they're talking about. It doesn't matter how good of an artist you are, over time the ink will shift under the skin and fade, and in the case of a very small tattoo, that can cause the tattoo to become unrecognizable in a matter of a couple years. If you take proper care of the tattoo it can look better for longer, but not even the biggest and boldest tattoos will look new forever.
Kenny Venegas they last depending on how your blood reacts to it. You can have a bold tat looks blurred in 4 years and you can have a micro tat look blurred in 8 years.
I’ve seen 20 year old micro tattoos age really well
Theirs some aura about Bang Bang that makes you fall in love with his personality.
This is my first video I'm watching with bang bang in it and I really really like him already. He's so calm and informative. His voice is so relaxing and you just enjoy listening to him and getting all that information
LOVE Bang Bang! He knows his craft so well and is so eloquent that his videos end up being educational.
This guy is one of the most informative, educated and down to earth tattooists I’ve ever seen. Just his passion for tattooing makes me smile so much, would love to travel and get one done by him
that geometric floral piece is gorgeous
Great interview! Very open, honest and articulate. Tattoo work is/can be a beautiful art form but I have heard from people they feel pressured to get sleeves or big pieces -- nice to hear from the inside industry it's ok not to. I currently have one small but very meaningful one of 20 years that I adore
I like how this guy talks, he seems genuine
Bang Bang should totally have his own channel. As someone previously said, he is very articulate, and also he is very well versed in the artistic(as in not only tattoo artist, but general art) and psichological ways. I loved the video where he commented on movie tattoos and what they mean in relation to character. He also seems like a guy who actually really genuinely care about how the person will look in a tattoo rather than just slapping smth on from his own egotistical perspective
I love very small very intricate tattoos. They have always been my favorite
Finally someone who isn’t just saying “itS goInG tO aGE tERRibLy!” Beach, odds are so am I 😂
If you’re paying $2000 for a tiny bang bang tattoo wouldn’t you want it to not be a blob a year later lmao
The problem is that this style of tattooing will fade away or become a blob way before your skin has even noticeably aged. We're talking 5 years maximum, realistically 2-3. Acting like it's the same as other tats because "all tattoos age" is so dishonest.
@@jello4835 i love this style but sadly it fades so easily
I love hybrid people: If Chris Evans and John Krasinski had a child = this guys face
I wanna say most people are mixes of two other people
@@pilapila183 That comment wins the internet.
“In the future I hope there are more artist who are willing to teach because they’re a great artist out there wanting to learn”Best quote I’ve never heard from her Fessional tattoo artist wish there were more like you
Yes
I want a microwave tattoo
i love the way you explain tattooing in it self and how much education actually goes into tattooing witch we never necessarily talk about do to the fact that body art bin frowned upon for so long although now a days the world is becoming so much more understanding and all and the amazing passion you have for body art is beautiful and man you nice looking haha
I am a musician with a tendency branch out but listening to BB makes me wanna become a disciple.
You can tell he has both the experience and have thought about what he's speaking of. He explains it fairly shortly and then summarize it with one sentence. You can watch all the tutorials about this, but you there are fine small details that only a veteran like him, for example, can summarize it like this. If you can recognize them, of course. Thanks for another good one, guys.

His voice... 😍 so good!
For one thing he's really good at explaining this, love these interviews! Also all I see is Chris Evans every time I watch these interviews 😅😂😂
I love the Chinese / Okinawan lions. That's a beautiful design. 💕
His voice is so soothing !!!!
I absolutely adore that stone lion tattoo with the flowers, and plan on getting something similar.
The guardian lion with the flowers was amazing💘💘💘
8:57 that tattoo is soooo pretty but it will probably fade after a year lmao
Do you tattoo?
Definitely will
Bang Bang's last line was gold
"Iam kind of down for the ride" what a way to look at life.
That rose/statue/geometric tattoo is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Always amazing with bang bang!!
He seems like a super humble dude. Awesome interview
I’ve heard a lot of mixed remarks and opinions about his work and his shop, but he seems like an okay person, and at least he is honest that his style of tattoos will not last.
i personally would rather get medium to large size tattoos, but i definitely have nothing against those who do small tattoos. its just a different style. props to the small tattoo artists out there
Corey Stuber even for those of us that prefer larger tattoos, you have to admit that it takes a lot of attention to detail and patience to execute such small, intricate piece of art, especially on a canvas that can be as imperfect as the human body
What so you consider medium to large?
@@tiffanylastinger3925 I would say medium is something that's roughly the size of a persons bicep or forearm
Why is there a floating head talking about tattoos
Rooboy he picked to decorate his body as invisible. Damn
lmfao
Lol
Looks like we got a Kurtis Connor fan here 😁
Jackie Johnson how does that relate
Brings back the bubblegum tattoo stickers.
I don't have neither i want a tattoo but i'm watching all bang bang videos because he's so knowledgeable
I love this guy he sounds like he does everything right and to the best of his ability.
Scott Sterling he has a $500 minimum and is $400/hour. He has to be well spoken to sell tattoos that will fade in a few years for that price. I do agree that he is very eloquent though.
He sounds and he does everything right
I would looove to learn from this guy. He seems so chill.
This was a really cool interview, and informative.
Oh man, that last part was so on point.
OMG, I think I fall in love with the guy. What's an amazing interview
The Legend himself ‼️‼️
I'm learning how to tattoo, and this was very helpful. Thank you :)
Dame this is amazing how campack so much great detail in a small space dude is a great tattoo artist
He knows his stuff!!
Love this video! Thank you for sharing
I will now go and practice micro drawing!
i love it when someone dosnt have to pretend to be humble... They have Mastered their trade
Yesss That’s my BOSS!! 🙌🏽
Dude. I don't have any tattoos but the science of it is so damn interesting.
can’t wait for cold gray.
has any actually bought those William Painter sunglasses?
I agree that there is not a clear avenue for artists to learn how to tattoo
the smaller the less detailed it should be idealy. A (: -)) smileyface will look like a smileyface after 5 years a portrait of elvis in the size of a coin just wont..
Im not even a specialist but its just common sense
JP3 LOL tell my fucking tattoos that
JP3 I have five smilies/
frownies. Got all of them the same two year period about four or five years ago now. I’d reckon the artist who did most of them is a better single needle artist than Bang Bang. Only one still exists. That one is the only one that is 3.5x2 inches. That one is also on the wrist almost on my hand and should have worn faster than my others for that reason alone. You can’t say what is “common sense” about something when you know absolutely fuck all about that thing.
nice
James are you okay?
James, i think ur tattoo artist was shite if the tattoos are no longer there... however i think you’re a bit of a bullshitter also. so i don’t know, i don’t think your smiley face tattoo surviving downplays the persons statement. please read comments properly or at least articulate your replies.
damn Bang Bang is so fucking likable it's unreal
love micro tattoos, they're amazing
Why don’t they show his mask tattoo?
Pepper Shaker because he’s lying and it doesn’t “still look good” same as all people who say that bout their micro tattoo, they never show it
@@thesystem2000 i had someone on reddit go off on me because her galaxy tattoo "still looks amazing after 7 years" but absolutely REFUSED to post a picture of it. Like, dude, for all we know you don't have any tattoos at all.
8:30 , I have been in and out of hospitals my whole life. I have been saving up for years for my sleeves. Every time I’m hospitalized the money disappears. I didn’t pick my body. But I do know eventually I’m going to have some sick ass tats!
Please keep doing videos with bang bang they are so good
He does more than just micro tattoos
Okay but that Tiger one. Damn. 😍
Same thing just bought my first kit gonna practice on myself hopefully I can get an apprenticeship one day
Please don't use one of those cheap kits off eBay they're not good quality! People who use those kits are known as scratchers and are looked down upon by the industry. Not trying to sound like a dick but if you want an apprenticeship it's better if you work on your portfolio and your drawing skills first, learning how to tattoo will come much further down along the line of an apprenticeship :)
this HAS to be the hardest style to tattoo. This and realism
I'm kinda high and when he said "I ordered a kit online", I heard "I ordered a kid online." For a minute there, I was like, "you can order those"?
Ain't even high and I wondered how he ordered a kid online :D
micro tattoes seem like they would be perfect for certains spots of the body that don't see as much accion, like for the ribs or shoulderblade
Short version of this video: Fine line and micro tattoos will not age very well, and most likely will fade much faster than a traditional tattoo. Just as a caution, micro tattoos have really became popular 3-4 years ago to now so nobody quite knows how these micro tattoos age. But truthfully, the lines will double in size, or blow out under the skin. If you want one go for it, but it might age pretty quickly and won’t look the greatest.
Thanks 😊 so much
Does anyone know the name of the beat that starts at 1.45? sounds amazing! great video!
He sorta looks like John Krasinski
i was looking for someone to say this!!
is it possible to do a review on the numbing creams.
Are there any problems after the tattoo is healing or are there any problems when the tattoo is being applaid because of the creams ?
Not sure how I feel about micro tattoos. Bang Bang is so eloquent, informative and quite honest. It's really lovely to watch.
I need to get a tattoo from Bang Bang 🙏🏻
Thank you inked😊
I love this guy’s voice
Okay realtalk here though. I have a big tattoo on my right hip/upper thigh, and the thing that hurt most was the linework. Shading was a breeze. Even if the micro-tatto you get is small, the needles will hurt more because it's fewer needles. Or am I getting it wrong?
Soooo....who else watched today's episode on Inked where Jon Mesa tells you all the reasons why you shouldn't get a micro?!? Asking for a friend...
Lol that i just did
Love bang bang...all I wanted to say is that I want that jacket very badly. Very cool.
He has a lot of knowledge on his art 🔥🔥😫
I really like this dude!!
He‘s got a great open personality.
I‘ve seen so many tattoo artists that are very bitter and critique everything.
Like bruh we‘re humans we make mistakes and we need time to learn and evolve.
I mean it’s good to see the mistakes but instead of being an ass about it just try to help or something 💁🏽♂️
He seems like, if he sees someone making a mistake in a tattoo he‘d be happy to help and explain how to make it better.
Others would just be like, thats trash stop tattooing.
Non of that has happened to me i just took this out of youtube videos i saw
Yeah, I like him as a person
How do talented tattoo artists manage to pull a perfectly straight line with a fine single needle in one pass please....I’ve always wondered....I can’t even do that with a pen or pencil....I’d really like to know....thanks so much!
Chris Foster practice lmao you obviously don’t practice
The dramatic music in the beginning threw me off😅 regardless I always appreciate the information I learn from these videos on my own tattoo journey. Hopefully I get that apprenticeship shot soon pray for me! Much love Bang Bang and Inked
This guy is the only artist who seems real
This dudes the man
Excellent explanation. Thank you
I really like the way he thinks
i wonder why they never show healed tattoos
