Wonderful Explanations! I like how you are talking about inks yet you throw in a little bit about lining and shading machines and you throw in a little about process as well as a bit about stroke length. In 'Curriculum Development' this is called 'scaffolding.' The information you give is like building a scaffold, each thing is built on other previous information which is brought back into the tutorial as a foundation of the new material. The next batch of learning would, in theory, be built on and referred to in the new tutorials. Good job, you are a natural, keep up the good work and keep building new material on the old material as you move your students forward. You are doing great!
I'm posting a public apology for the first video I made. I didn't realize how biased it was. It had been years since I posted. Had to watch it again to see what I said. This video was edited to removed certain parts. That being said I also don't say things on my channel that aren't true. If I say something about a product that is my experience. I'm not sponsored by anyone. The opinion you are getting is mine. I don't lean towards anyone's brands because of money. If I prefer to use a certain brand it is because it works for me. If I have a problem with a product that is an honest critique. Business owners need to know that I'm a consumer. If I'm showing something that is what your consumers are getting. I also look at the reviews of other consumers. I don't judge a business if they have one mistake. They are judged by their product, other reviews, and the reputation of the company. I'm not out to get anyone and I don't have any personal vendettas against any companies. I've been doing these videos for years now. If you watch a video today you need to take into account it could have been posted years ago. Think about the time that has passed since making the video. If anyone has a problem with my videos I appreciate it when you say something. If you approach me in a professional manner the problem will be dealt with.
I watch a lot of your videos. But sometimes the extremely slow talking can get make me lose interest. You should try writing our a script that way your points aren't so drawn out. I think you have a lot of information to share. But not the best delivery. It's not your fault. We all can't be expert showmans, but we all can find ways to work around that. A script is usually a big one. Your voice is fine. Just the pauses between words as your thinking out the proper way to get your message forward. I usually put it on 1.5 x speed. Thanks for your hard work and hope you don't take offense by this.
I have made a lot of improvements. Changed some things recently to make it better. I usually just start shooting video and explain as I go, but thought about trying to do a scripted video. I will try it and see how it goes.
@@TattooUniversity sounds good. like i said i hope you dont take offense from my suggestion. i think you have a wealth of knowledge that will help a ton of people. and if all the blocks are perfectly aligned you end up with videos that are timeless. you will be the go too tattoo video.
i know all other art skills. wanted a video of loading a tattoo gun specifiaclly. if i wanted to learn calligarfry i would have searched it. bc that's all i'm getting from this video
Maybe I'm stupid but I did my biggest piece yet last night on my own leg and omg I started getting mad bc the ink wasn't sticking good toward the end and it didn't even occur to me that the ink was drying out 🙄 I'll go back in today to finish (yes I got so upset I quit)
hey man i had issues using Kuro sumi double sumi with a 5 rl last night , is it ok to add a drop of witch hazel or distilled water to a full cup to make it flow better , or will It change tone?? also had issues with intense lining black, ive added a drop to the intense and its healing black but over time who knows , I was reading that with thicker viscosity inks that having long needle hang will effect flow, so im doing something today and gonna hang needles less and add a drop to the kuro double semi, im redoing my own hand as the tattoos are grey and were done in a shop im using the blackest ink I can get this is why .
You can dip into distilled water or witch hazel but you don't want to run the needle in the cup. Only run the machine after you dipped and removed it. If you run the machine in the cup you risk hitting the needles on the cup. This can damage the needles.
I do understand all this, and regardless the information was mad helpful! I love how u explain everything like we're 5 lol. But my stock carts. Are still spitting out way 2 much ink? It's super frustrating! I no I can lay down some respectable shit, but I can't get this under control? Iv tried all different settings everything, plz help me brotha
Have you tried a different machine? See if you get the same results. Then I would try different ink and see what happens. Trouble shoot by trying different options until you can narrow down the problem. Also try adjusting the hang of the needle. How far out is it set? Needles and tips fit differently. You need to find what brands work together. I would see what cartridges fit with this machine or is it a problem with the machine.
Yes. White can actually be thicker which is what causes people problems. Thinning it can help. You just don't thin anything to the point where it is diluted too much
You said this so clearly thank you . Questions This entire learning experience I’ve been told the 4.5 and 5.0 mm stroke were the best liner machines Buying lining ink which is very thin But you mean to tell me that if I use thin lining in I need to use a 2.5 stroke machine to line .? I bought all my machines from Cheyenne I have the Sol terra and the hawk I was looking to get the Sol Luna On their website the have the Sol Lina labels as the perfect shader and the Sol terra as the perfect liner . But as you made it make clear sense . With this very thin lining ink I should be using the 2.5stroke Sol luna ?

@@thewizardoftech5075 no offense taken. I got one hell of a thick skin and it's honest feedback.
@@thewizardoftech5075 I was actually thinking about it already so it's probably good idea. So your comment just reinforced the decision to try it
@@TattooUniversity i happen to think your slow talking helps to follow you easier....and your voice is a calming soothing one....keep up the good work
I've seen some ppl dip with power running to the machine and some with none running to it. Which do you feel is the more efficient technique?
I don't run the machine in the cup because you can hit your needles and damage them.
@@TattooUniversity great. Thats some news i could use. Been watching you for a while now. Keep up the good work. Thanks. Peace.

does thinner tattoo ink stay better than thicker
What witch hazel do you buy. You can buy alcohol free. Or organic . Can you be specific??
Maybe I'm stupid but I did my biggest piece yet last night on my own leg and omg I started getting mad bc the ink wasn't sticking good toward the end and it didn't even occur to me that the ink was drying out 🙄 I'll go back in today to finish (yes I got so upset I quit)
What’s the name of the song
this is the best chanel to learn, i swear. everytime i wonder i get my answer here
Glad I could help you out
The best tattoo tips on TH-cam 👍
While you are tattooing..how do tou avoid the ink from getting dry on the cup?
You can add glycerin, distilled water, or witch hazel. Just don't dilute too much
hey man i had issues using Kuro sumi double sumi with a 5 rl last night , is it ok to add a drop of witch hazel or distilled water to a full cup to make it flow better , or will It change tone?? also had issues with intense lining black, ive added a drop to the intense and its healing black but over time who knows , I was reading that with thicker viscosity inks that having long needle hang will effect flow, so im doing something today and gonna hang needles less and add a drop to the kuro double semi, im redoing my own hand as the tattoos are grey and were done in a shop im using the blackest ink I can get this is why .
explained in detail, thank you
Thanks
Thanks Nick
Happy new jear gr stefan from Holland
Thank you much appreciated. Needed this!
Longest intro for a video ever. We understand what your channel and website is.
would you run your machine while dipping in the witch hazel to improve the ink flow?
You can dip into distilled water or witch hazel but you don't want to run the needle in the cup. Only run the machine after you dipped and removed it. If you run the machine in the cup you risk hitting the needles on the cup. This can damage the needles.
What is the common liquid they use in lets say some random chinese ink?
Ink is usually pigment and carrier solution. Common carrier solutions are Witch hazel, alcohol, water and glycerin.
I do understand all this, and regardless the information was mad helpful! I love how u explain everything like we're 5 lol. But my stock carts. Are still spitting out way 2 much ink? It's super frustrating! I no I can lay down some respectable shit, but I can't get this under control? Iv tried all different settings everything, plz help me brotha
Have you tried a different machine? See if you get the same results. Then I would try different ink and see what happens. Trouble shoot by trying different options until you can narrow down the problem. Also try adjusting the hang of the needle. How far out is it set? Needles and tips fit differently. You need to find what brands work together. I would see what cartridges fit with this machine or is it a problem with the machine.
Keep up the outstanding work 💛🌼
I am from Tanzania where can I get u are ink please
I would only use ink from a reputable company. See if you can order some or get someone to ship it to you.
You cleared my mind today.
i love this guy
Glad I can help
@@TattooUniversity yes thank you so much! you are awesome and very thorough in your vids
Awesome as always!
Does this work with white too?
Yes. White can actually be thicker which is what causes people problems. Thinning it can help. You just don't thin anything to the point where it is diluted too much
@@TattooUniversity thank you , appreciate it
You said this so clearly thank you .
Questions
This entire learning experience I’ve been told the 4.5 and 5.0 mm stroke were the best liner machines
Buying lining ink which is very thin
But you mean to tell me that if I use thin lining in I need to use a 2.5 stroke machine to line .?
I bought all my machines from Cheyenne I have the Sol terra and the hawk I was looking to get the Sol Luna
On their website the have the Sol Lina labels as the perfect shader and the Sol terra as the perfect liner .
But as you made it make clear sense . With this very thin lining ink I should be using the 2.5stroke Sol luna ?
Please help thank you for taking the time
