Hey man I think a cool video idea would be to critique your own tattoos, genuinely I wanna see your thought process on tattoos that you didn’t enjoy doing or that you don’t think came out to your standards. Just an idea love your work much love.
Well I was supposed to have your personal number by now but someone just stole my modeling for inked magazine and I just pony I just wish I could be so truthful with you it’s super professional now you know.
@@tylerparker3024tattooing is a different beast you’re right. But… to tattoo you need to know how to draw and make clean lines. Do you have to be a fine artist? No. But you do need to know how to draw
@@tylerparker3024 ummmmm....they have to DRAW the design of the tattoo for the stencil. if they can't draw, the design of the tattoo is gonna be garbage. without a fundamental understanding of art and how to draw, you can't hope to become a good tattoo artist.
I have to give that last dude credit for sending his work in to be critiqued, because.... those were ROUGH. I live in a lower income town, and it always breaks my heart seeing people with tattoos that look older than the person wearing them.
Pony was way too nice critiqueing the tattoos from Brandon. Brandon should not be tattooing on skin at all. He needs to work on his basic skills first.
That guy and there was another are clearly scratchers that said they’ve done an apprenticeship. Odds are they’re tattooing out of their house for cigarettes
And konrad,when you want the rewards but don't want to put the effort, dude can't pull a line, doesn't know how to shade and if he did it wouldn't matter because he wouldn't know where to put it, zero anatomy knowledge, zero fundamentals, LET'S TATTOO A PORTRAIT how hard can it be 🤦♂️
I really don't want to be the guy that's all negative but... I really doubt Brandon should be going anywhere close to human skin at this point in his career. When you think about a tattooer, you're most likely thinking of a tattoo >artist
I kept waiting for him to be told the last one was a joke and they were random tattoos from r/shittytattoos or something like that. Flabbergasted that moment never came
4:08 I shouted LINE WEIGHTS right in this moment😆. I love your videos, Pony, taking close notes and learning a lot from you. I would have not called it out some weeks ago!
Hey man I think a cool video idea would be to critique your own tattoos, genuinely I wanna see your thought process on tattoos that you didn’t enjoy doing or that you don’t think came out to your standards. Just an idea love your work much love.
Im getting the impression the "shadow" on the hear no evil skull was meant to be a second knife in the other "ear". Done faint so as not to confuse or distract from the foreground.
I just finished my apprenticeship and would some input on my work. I had minimal mentor training, and most of what I have learned came from awesome artist like you! How do I submit my work?
Im interested what you mean by "line weights", are you refering to thicker lines on the right places? Like the closer to the "camera" the lines should be thicker? or do you mean that just certain parts should have thicker lines in general? You are mentioning a thicker outline on the cyclops tattoo. I recently find your channel and you are talking about line weights a lot. Im thinking about getting myself a couple of tattoos and also like to draw myself, SO im trying to learn while im doin my research for my future tattoos, draw my own designs aswell, and therefore I want to learn what to think about if I wanna draw my own tattoos :)
The "unnecessary" knife in the ear of the skull is part of the theme. It's indicating that the skull can't hear because it has a knife in its ear, although the other two have parchment covering the body parts so doing that again probably would have been a better option than the knife.
The one thing that got me caught up when I was doing my apprenticeship was my teacher never talked to me about machine power settings. I screwed up a few tattoos before figuring it out myself. I haven't given a tat in ages though. I'd like to get back in but I quit because I'm not very good with random strangers and their idiotic requests. Lol,
Something no larger than your hand in a relatively inconspicuous area. My first two are on my shoulders, so they're easily covered with a t shirt, not everyone will hire someone with visible tattoos. Always look through the artist's portfolio to ensure they do decent work. Never go to a home tattooer. If you really don't care what you get, you can ask the artist to just come up with something that they like.
Jesus christ..There's NO WAY some of this guys are apprentices, they lack absolutely every fundamental,and jump straight to portraiture. Here's an idea guys, if you haven't been tattooing for at least 5 years, and you can't pull a PERFECT portrait in every art medium, chances are you won't pull it on skin, think about the people that will have to carry that pile for life. Jesus this makes me mad
Kind of reminded me of a Harley Davidson Grateful Dead design. I’m guessing LSD was involved lol before anyone comes at me, Grateful Dead is my favorite band. Haha
I don't trust anyone with a valknut tattoo or anyone willing to do them to be honest. It's been so abused by fash that this is the intention behind them most of the time.
I thought the same thing. I almost felt like it had to be...otherwise ppl are right & he really can't draw. I thought the broncos logo was solid (barring technical application) but I guess that could've been traced. So I dunno. Hopefully it looked like that at customer request
Sometimes whenever I eat M&Ms, I like To hold two M&Ms in between my fingers and squeeze as hard as I can until one M&M cracks, I eat the cracked one, and the that didn't crack becomes the champion. Then I grab another M&M and force it to compete with the champion in this deadly game of M&M gladiators. I do this until I run out of M&Ms and when there is only one M&M left standing, I send a letter to M&Ms brand with the champion M&M in it with a note attached that reads: "please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
No offence but people who tatto like brandon should clearly stay away from human skin because those look bad... If you don't understand that your scribbles are permanent on your client's skill you should just quit, some mistakes can't be made...
90% of these tattoos are proof a “ formal apprenticeship “ doesn’t mean 💩. I’m 8 months into my self taught start and my stuff 💩 on these submissions 🤷🏽♂️.
Pony bro please dont use the words genderfluid and creepy in the same breath. Trans people got enough problems right now bro :/ thats disrespectful. Yeah the portrait is bad and looks nothing like the character but dont conflate that with gender nonconformity please.
Small laugh, I had a porcelain chess piece idea except mine wasn’t even on the queen. I thought it up in prison please stop stealing my ideas just reap my soul now you know.

If i already sent you a tattoo should i send it again for a chance to be featured next week?

Many people should really learn to draw before they move on to tattooing.
It's not the same though. Understanding shapes and light yes, but being able to do it with a pencil is not even similar to tattooing. My opinion.
@@tylerparker3024 still, the base of tattooing in "normal" art and should be stable
@@tylerparker3024tattooing is a different beast you’re right. But… to tattoo you need to know how to draw and make clean lines. Do you have to be a fine artist? No. But you do need to know how to draw
We can agree to disagree

All of his tattoos look like they're gonna get infected..
"Bob Ross would be pissed" was a pretty sweet burn.

For the skeleton in the boat, I thought the smoke cloud was a badly drawn parrot. Lol.
Shiver me Timbers! 😂
I did not see the word "HEAR" on the skulls tat until you pointed it out.
4:08 I shouted LINE WEIGHTS right in this moment😆. I love your videos, Pony, taking close notes and learning a lot from you. I would have not called it out some weeks ago!
Brandon and Conrad, my dudes...please don't touch another human's skin for a good amount of time.
:(
That Harley Davidson logo.. I wonder if someone's kid drew that and the parent was so proud he or she turned it into a tattoo..
If not... damn...
Exactly what I thought
Oh Brandon, tattoos are permanent :(
😂😂
Brandon must’ve lost his Harley stencil and said ima do a freehand skull and some trees in the back
With a speech bubble that looks like a little floating turd, with jewels on/in it.
These guys have balls sending these in
The cute watermelon was my favorite too 😊

Like this concept
Inked did that video this week. His work is SICK!
I think he actually already did that
@@battleriflebeats he did, but they were tattoos from when he first started not throughout his whole career.
Could you do a video of how to photograph your tattoo perfectly? Would appreciate advice so much!
Or maybe you already did such a video?
I love the Mad Rabbit neon in the background! ❤
"Bob Ross would be pissed" 😂😂😂😂😂

That featured artist's work is insanely good!
Im interested what you mean by "line weights", are you refering to thicker lines on the right places? Like the closer to the "camera" the lines should be thicker? or do you mean that just certain parts should have thicker lines in general? You are mentioning a thicker outline on the cyclops tattoo.

what about if it's blue eyes on a black and white tattoo of a Fremen from Dune?
What a sick ass shirt 🔥🔥 as a volunteer ff I love seeing house shirts in the wild !
The tattoo that you disliked the most I actually kind of like but see how you smile made everything worth it
Till Pony says where "hear" is I was puzzled and tried to find that one Word "that for sure should be somewhere there" .;)
I had to stop what I was doing to laugh when he said he wanted to murder the baby watermelon slice with his mouth 😂😂
Im happy to hear you promote Mad Rabbit. I just ordered from them last week. 👏 Wish id seen your promo sooner!
Sean’s animal portraits are beautiful! ❤
Featured artist does insane work!
The "unnecessary" knife in the ear of the skull is part of the theme. It's indicating that the skull can't hear because it has a knife in its ear, although the other two have parchment covering the body parts so doing that again probably would have been a better option than the knife.
I think that was kinda the point, just that the knife was unnecessary and not the best option for the theme
A knife to a nonexistent ear on a skull is a farfetched choice
I think the "rose" thing was supposed to be parchment wrapped around the blade.
Pony is a man of good taste. That very same Alf lives in my home office.
oh, I saw Mask when it came out.
The first tattoo looks like the Smiling titan that ate Eren's mom
that watermeleon tattoo is so cute!!!
Wasn't expecting an All Dogs Go to Heaven reference. 🤣
Always enjoy watching the vids during my nightly smoke sesh 🤙
Love the cherry pie & the cute little watermelon ❤ I don’t know but Brandons skeleton tattoo was so bad I kinda liked it in a kitschy way 😂
Brandon 😂..... Bob Ross would be pissed....😂😂
As a huge assassin's creed fan this hurts 12:45
Thanks for repping the west side boyz
Is that Alf in the background??😻😻
Those lines on rocky Dennis are wild
Brandon Clark : I love his gone fishing dream scape

I have no tattoos, what should I get?

If you really don't care what you get, you can ask the artist to just come up with something that they like.
I think it's Michael Jackson riding a German Shepherd
I really hope the shield one was them tattooing a picture that the clients kid drew
I’ve sent a submission as a collector like a couple months ago , is it okay to resend another email? Not trying to spam you pony lol hope all is well.
Same here!
my tattoos dont get picked =[, im still wating
Whoever got the first tattoo.. feels bad
You are so cool, thank you for making tattoo videos :))
The cyclops needs a fat rocky Dennis above it to draw the eye around the piece and add some culture
Why do you hate black/grey tats with pops of color?
The problem is, 90% of tattoo artists can’t draw, and if they can, the client just wants something that everyone else has
are the blue eyes on a wolves and lions digs for daniel da silva? lol
Totally missed the 'hear'
Those two pieces of laurel make it look like the wolf has a cutoff mannequin neck.
Damn homie got the rocky dennis
Brandon’s tattoo must be an adaptation of a drawing that the customer’s kid made in JK art class.
It almost looks like that wolf was a cover up?
Jesus christ..There's NO WAY some of this guys are apprentices, they lack absolutely every fundamental,and jump straight to portraiture.

Holy shit i forgot about that movie. It’s a good likeness
I did not see hear until he pointed it out.
Plot twist...Brandon's tattoo is actually a masterpiece as it was a kids drawing copied perfectly.
Edit: and the others are drawn with pen
Kind of reminded me of a Harley Davidson Grateful Dead design. I’m guessing LSD was involved lol before anyone comes at me, Grateful Dead is my favorite band. Haha
❤️
I can’t watch these videos anymore he has an Alf in the background and that shit fucks me up😢😢😢😢
I don't trust anyone with a valknut tattoo or anyone willing to do them to be honest. It's been so abused by fash that this is the intention behind them most of the time.
Then it turns out the Rocky Dennis tattoo, is a portrait of his wife....
Is that a neon uterus on your wall? 😅😉
I feel like Brandon's tattoo is maybe supposed to be a bad tattoo?
Why do I kinda like Brandon’s? 😂
Wait until they start making the ears red and pink. Just hiding a little color inside the dog ears and stuff
👋
Critique aside that harley davidson mightve been a childs drawing that a parent wanted on them permanently
I thought the same thing. I almost felt like it had to be...otherwise ppl are right & he really can't draw. I thought the broncos logo was solid (barring technical application) but I guess that could've been traced. So I dunno. Hopefully it looked like that at customer request
I don’t think that was rocky from mask it may have been Kaitlin Jenner 😂😂😂
Cyclops gonna blow his finger off…
Brandon SHOULD NOT be touching skin yet with those skills...
Brandon should learn how to draw first….that isn’t just bad technique, that’s an inability to draw, as well. I don’t think you can fix that
The first one from Konrad looks like “Lady” Bruce Jenner with all that botox!
These videoes makes me scared to realise that these people actually seems to get paid for this crap!
Sometimes whenever I eat M&Ms, I like
To hold two M&Ms in between my fingers and squeeze as hard as I can until one M&M cracks, I eat the cracked one, and the that didn't crack becomes the champion. Then I grab another M&M and force it to compete with the champion in this deadly game of M&M gladiators.

Brandon, stop tattooing and learn toendra’s first
Looks nothing like mask
Gender fluid face 😂😂😂 my new favorite insult
A lot of these are worse than the videos for apprentices… maybe they’re not apprentices anymore because they never had one??
No offence but people who tatto like brandon should clearly stay away from human skin because those look bad... If you don't understand that your scribbles are permanent on your client's skill you should just quit, some mistakes can't be made...
I love the movie Mask and sorry, no way would I know this was a Mask tattoo if you didn't say it was.
That's Kaitlyn Jenner being knotted by a wolf. Lmao 🤣
90% of these tattoos are proof a “ formal apprenticeship “ doesn’t mean 💩. I’m 8 months into my self taught start and my stuff 💩 on these submissions 🤷🏽♂️.
Wow a few awful ones here
you realize you're talking about lines right ?
wow you never learned anything when it comes to tattooing.
no hate but I saw nothing but caitlyn Jenner in that first one
Pony bro please dont use the words genderfluid and creepy in the same breath. Trans people got enough problems right now bro :/ thats disrespectful. Yeah the portrait is bad and looks nothing like the character but dont conflate that with gender nonconformity please.
Small laugh, I had a porcelain chess piece idea except mine wasn’t even on the queen. I thought it up in prison please stop stealing my ideas just reap my soul now you know.
