      I have a question.When you are shading are you lifting the needles away from the skin like a brushing motion or is it more like scribing. Thank you

    Another tip for beginners: notice how he started at the bottom of the design, and progressed up through the tattoo. If he started at the top of the design, his stencil would have been rubbed away by his hands. Something to always keep in mind. Also, not only do you want to think about your line before you start it, think about your outline when you are designing your tattoo. Design your artwork towards your strengths in tattooing. Until you are excellent at lining, don’t put really long lines in your artwork-especially long lines that are not going to have any shading up against them to hide any imperfections. P.S. try to find an apprenticeship with coworkers that will help you on your path and share knowledge with you. A good crew will be invaluable to your growth as an artist.

    My Dad and Uncle are both tattoo artists and they think the same as you, there's very little point in trying to hoard information about tattooing and keep it between professionals. People have been doing home tattoos forever, and will continue to do so, they might as well have the information available to help them do it safely. They both know the supply for apprenticeships doesn't meet the demand, it's not possible for everyone who wants to tattoo to get an official apprenticeship, if they want to tattoo friends or family then giving them a helping hand shouldn't be frowned upon. Kudos for doing this man. Those are some damn clean lines.

This video was incredibly helpful. Too many people afraid of competition instead of just being confident in their own work and own personalities and being willing to share their knowledge.

    Thank you for all the tips and tricks. All my life I have truly been fascinated with art and obviously into my adulthood I’ve grown very fond of tattooing. Having many myself now, I’m hoping to learn both how to draw and tattoo. I never had the confidence to try and learn and often times I’ve given up because of terrible anything I drew looked. But at 27 it’s never too late to try anything. I’ve ordered a relatively inexpensive starter kit to practice on pig skin w and am looking at buying a much nicer far superior gun next month. So far I’ve gotten plenty of friends willing to let me practice on them, but for the next 6 months I just really want to focus on mastering line work as much as one can and drawing very basic objects. I want to ultimately do American traditional w/ my own French spin on it and let that be my signature style, but for now this is what I need to understand the basics.

    This is the most informative video I've found on my journey to learn. Thank you so much! I respect the profession of tattooing but I just like dabbling in new skills and this gave me the confidence to keep going. I'm not sure why this information is under lock and key. It's easier to learn 10 languages 😅 I'm wondering what are the chances you could do a similar style video but with a rotary pen? Most videos are just showing it in use with the assumption you already know how to use it. There's no beginner video. Or even a video explaining how tattooing varies with a rotary pen vs traditional machine and I could figure out what to adjust from there! Either way, thanks again for sharing!

    • @ArtSomething
      @ArtSomething  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your right DD the information its self will not make anyone a good tattooist. It's the ones who take that information and really put the time and effort into crafting their skills. For that reason I dont know why these secrets are kept "hidden" there are no secrets really. Its just trial and error practice makes perfect. In this video I was using a rotary pen, I was using the Cheyenne Hawk pen with a wireless battery pack.

    Is the voltage statement that relevant? It assumes everyone has the same machine, as voltage to generate a specific hit rate can be wildly different depending on the machine. Just saying as someone might set 7.5 and run too fast or too slow and not realise what is wrong.

    I've been practicing tattooing a lot lately, and one thing I keep running into is when i'm tattooing on fake skin or anything, my lines come out scratchy (I think that's what you would call it lol) Like they are not full and in order to make them a full line or clear to see it, I have to go over it about 5 times or more, and I was starting to think maybe it was the fake skin so I thought about using real skin and my brother took one for the team lol and it was the same thing, I wasn't going to lite or heavy handed, the tattoo came out great, but after watching other videos of yours I notice you only draw a line and it's perfect. I was curious if you could give me any tips !

      I don't know exactly what your specific problem is here, however I would say make sure you have a good stretch on the skin and make sure you have a good depth with the needle and work on controlling your hand speed to machine speed. Try the video I have about proper needle depth as it should go over some very important aspects that should help you out.🤘🤘

    One of the first ink slingers I’ve ever seen that didn’t talk like he was God among men and don’t care to help beginners like me with some knowledge. I’ve been painting and drawing for 30 years. I’ve been playing guitar for 27 years. I built a lot of mechanical things. So I’m a long time artist to say the least. It has been a long time passion of mine to learn out to lay ink. I have a very steady hand for lines, I understand shading as a artist. I just don’t know how to relate my skill into laying ink. So thanks for this. I’ve got my first machine and I’m about to start tatting some oranges for the next couple of months and then starting on my self. And by then I’ll be ready to start as an apprentice at a shop. Hopefully I’ll be tattooing professionally for customers by 2022.

      the voltages will depend upon the person, the machine and the type of needle you are using. But for this tattoo with my set up I think I was using somewhere between 7.5V to 8 v. Thanks for you watching Steven hope this helped answer your question!!
