- How to tattoo: Riding the Tube? or ? Floating the needles.... We go over riding the tube throwing our needles out and floating them. I will also show you what really helped me out and that was simply floating my needles but keeping the tube close to the skin. This helped me keep a consistent depth while still being able to see my stencil and keep accuracy up. We will be going over the following.
Needle depth
riding the tube
floating the needles (aka riding the points or working from your points)
And why using as many methods can really help you depending on the work you are performing.

Art-Something hey man what power supply are you using and what are you attaching to it
Hey, I have been watching your videos like crazy lately. You're the only tattoo artist who makes quality videos explaining things. My suggestion would be to make a video all about needles. I am in the process of just learning about what I will need and the basics. But I hear a lot about different needles and what each type is good for, and cartridge vs standard needles. Would be amazing to have a full comprehensive video on the differences of all and what sizes are good for what. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. I know it helps a lot of us who are interested but also don't know any tattoo artists to talk to.
Thank you very much for the kind words I really appreciate that! 👍 The next video coming up will be about shading with a mag and
I'll give a quick basic run down on how to read a needle cartridge. But coming up in the next couple weeks will be a full on video explaining everything you should need to know about needles. Thanks Laura for watching and supporting the channel!!🤘🤘
Art-Something Thank you so much. After leaving this comment I read a blog about it and it was very informative. I believe it was wetttattoo. I'll be looking forward to the next video. Happy Easter or Passover lol thank you.
✔ 🎯 💯📣
Thanks for watching if you guys have any questions or tips please feel free to let me know.
After watching this i realized i ride the tube abd the ink rises as i make a line. And when i wipe my line is really thin and faint. Any tips to better my lines
Martin Harmon have you gotten better?
What size needle were using on this video?
I've just started learning to tattoo, and I've been having this problem of lots of ink pooling on the synth skin and not letting me see. Now I understand why. This is super useful, thank you!
when i started in a street shop this is the way i learned ,pull lines towards you for more control , etc a an d oinment keeps the ink from getting everywhere too much ink in tube makes it spit out etc
hey man, i just wanna say thank you! i am new to tattooing and your videos have made me confident enough to start tattooing on myself and friends. i love the way you describe everything and pros and cons too.
Amazing how I just keep rematching your videos and learn something new from them EVERY SINGLE TIME. You rock Bro!
I ain't a tattoo kinda guy but I'll show my support with a view and a like.
Thanks man! I appreciate you bro!
I've found better results in all three as well. When I focused too much on "never riding the tube" it kind of blocked my flow. I now use Bishop carts and they don't allow much needle hang with my machine. Due to this, I was forced to learn using the tip to my advantage. On long lines, it's amazing for crisp, consistent lines. If there is detail, or like you mentioned, script, it helps to float the needle more. Thanks for making this! I think we can learn "this is the only way," which can prevent growth within our style.
I am an Inspiring young (pre-teen)tattoo artist and most of your videos are helping me so in the future it will help me a lot thank you so much
Thanks for all the vids. They have really helped a lot.
No problem Darcy Glad you like them and thank you for watching!! 🤘🤘
Hey! Your videos are awesome! I usually speak German as I am from Austria but as there aren't German videos that explain it to my understanding I needed to look in English. I saw a lot but then I saw a video of yours and 1) I got hung and watched a whole Playlist and 2) I didn't note I did and understood everything thanks to your way of showing and explaining even though i rarely understand the spoken English. Thank you and keep on rocking with your amazing, helpful and awesome videos!! 👍✌️
Oh man thats awesome to hear the videos have helped you out!! SOrry they are only in English, I want to get
the subtitles activated on here as well so you can read what I say instead. BUt I think its real cool how you could
still learn stuff without understanding the language. Thanks you again brother I really do appreciate the support!!! and best of luck to you as you continue down this journey!! 🤘👍👊👍🤘
Not an artist. But I find what you do fascinating and enjoy learning about it. Thank you for the tutorial.
I float my liner waaayy out, just so i dont have to deal with the pooling. When it comes to shading and color fill i tend to float the needles juat a hair. It lets me compansate with angle for depth adjustment on the fly. Killer tips, thanks bro!
WHen it comes to shading im the same way!! ITs all about that angle. 🤘
I am starting tattooing and your videos are soooo helpful and I’ve learned a lot thanks to you! Thank you for the great content ❤️
NO problem Aruba Grc. I am happy to hear you are enjoying and learning from the vids!! Keep at it and Keep ROcking!! 🤘🤘
Thanks for all the knowledge dudea
Hey, first of all: Thx for all your effort!!!
My very first rotary is gonna be delivered in exactly one wekk. I am very exited.
So i'm going to watch all your videos and like them!
I am even improving my english, so im really thankful !!!
THANKS!!!
Your the best in what you do. Thank 😊you.
This video was soo helpful!! I've always wanted to be a tattoo artist but I lost one of my eyes 2 years ago and have been struggling with depth perception when it comes to my tattooing. This video helped me see it in a completely different way so thankyou so much!!! ❤
I also have only one eye, it takes getting used to that's for sure. I use a magnifying visor, it helps me see the tip better.
I know this is a year old but I hope Holly is doing well and gettin it!
@@NERDXCORE awwwh 🥰Thankyou so much! I actually did my first tattoo on a person a few days ago and it went really well!! Super proud of myself

Thanks buddy!
very helpful. tnx man
Thanks man excellent, now I know why people should do an apprenticeship not just cause they like to sweep clean and make cups of coffee.
Could you maybe go over the different types of needles and what all the different numbers and what all that means ??
Hello! I am about to start on this awesome tattoo journey I really appreciate you uploading this content. Thank you! Also I wanted to ask since I have been reading a lot mixed reviews, why it is suggested you start with a coil machine instead of a rotary one? Thanks so much once again. You rock!
Hi! Thanks for the video. I find them very informative and well structured. I learned so much from you about tattooing and am about to try it out on myself. Could you please do a video where you discuss how to pick the right stroke of the machine? As I don't see it on your profile. Thanks!
I'm covered in Poke tattoos and just ordered the Dragonhawk mast tour kit to go over all my art. Your videos have been super helpful and will continue to follow your channel.
Congrats on the new equipment!!! Its always cool to get new tattoo stuff lol!!!🤘🤘 I thank you for the support
Randall and dont stop rocking!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
how did you like your mast tour ??
this really explains allot! i try to specialized myself for more line works like geometric styles and mandala plus its a good way to get that solid lines.. man i wish your my mentor coz mine left me out of no where after 1 session
Great to hear the video explains a lot for you. And working with lines is a great way to improve your skill level, as lines are fundamental to tattooing. And as you get better with them you can always continue to improve in other ways and overall make your skills and work better. Also really sorry to hear about your mentor dropping you just keep your head up and keep working hard!!
@@ArtSomething yeah cool man like i just watch your channel and learn ha. ill fallow you in insta. i live in dubai so getting a right mentor is hard. cheers!
This was extremely helpful
Grateful for all the info
Thank you Toby and I appreciate your support!! 🤘🤘🙏🤘

i thank god for your channel man
Wow thank you so much Lyon, but its really my pleasure!! Much love and Keep Rocking my friend!! 🤘🤘
Awesome video as usual been taking a crash course. LOL you said hit the skin LMAO😂😂😂💪
Question that I'm not sure will get seen but I'd like to know: is the rotary pen more popular because it is easier to use? I've been using a coil machine but all the videos I see are for rotary pens with cartridges. None the less these have all been SO helpful! You're definitely my favorite online teacher man
really helpful.. subbed!
Thanks silver I’m really glad you liked it and I appreciate your support and the channel!! Keep at it and keep rocking🤘🤘🤘
Great stuff!!
Thank you Carlos, I appreciate that brother!! And I thank you for watching and supporting the channel!!🤘🤘
Thx for the tutorial bro :)
You're welcome Jairo!!! Glad your enjoying them man!! 🤘🤘
Do a video on how u specifically handling your machine
This helps thank you
No problem glad the vid helped you out. 🤘
I’m learning that tattooing is like dog training, everybody has there own opinions that seem to differ from slightly to vastly, but you are right I think, what ever gives the individual artist the best results and that they feel comfortable with, I think I’m going to try riding the tube some more to see how it goes since I’m really worried about skin blow outs, I’d rather go to shallow than too deep as a learner/beginner
When you get into the right depth in the skin , will you say that you can hear some kind of cracking sound at the good depth??? or will it be too deep?? Thank you for all the great videos
Can you please explain the concept of "give of a needle", if you already have please send the link of the video. And thanks for all the knowledge, it helps a lot!! keep sharing!!
Hey! Thank you for making these videos. I’ve always wanted to get into tattooing but didn’t know where to start. After watching your videos I decided to splurge on some equipment. I already do drawing, painting, and airbrushing in my city and a lot of people ask me to do tattoos but I’ve been declining, obviously. I have a question, when you switch from line work to shading, do you throw that needle away immediately after, or do you put it back on if you need to switch back to line work (on the same person)? Can you do an in-depth video on keeping everything sanitary while doing a tattoo
Congrats on the new equipment👍 and yes you can reuse the same needle during the same tattoo. You can start lining a little then switch to your shader for a little while then switch back to your liner. You don’t need to throw a needle away after you use it unless you were done with that session on that particular person. Hope this makes sense and thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel!!🤘🤘
Art-Something thank you so much for the tips and thank you for responding so promptly!
Beginner question... can you please make a video explaining ink dipping? How much to dip.. how frequent to re-dip.. maybe any tips about dipping?
Yeah I could probably do that Alex. I think that would make for a great Thursday QuickTake video !! 👍👍🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething yes please.
Cool, i was already somewhere in the middle and dont like having the needle all the way out like that
Great video I usually float my needle
Yeah i like to float them when Im working with details or what not. But when running lots of lines and what not I will often ride the tube. I think there is a time for both and I use them both, just depends upon what im doing. Thanks for sharing Christopher!!! Keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething Yes there's a time for both but I really enjoy being able to see what my needle is doing. Really there's no wrong way it all depends on one person's preference. Love the videos brother
watching gun & tip, looks just like welding, keeping tip out of puddle, and watching bead & either tip, or wire, depending on MIG or TIG process. been welding over 40 years, but zero experience with Tattooing
helpful 🐱
Glad it helped!🤘
Are they riding the tube on those big needle configurations with blackouts ?
Inexperienced rides the tube experience ride the needle in general but that is just in general
Hey man I have watch several of ur videos i picked up tattooing on my own I'm very new to it but i have done 7 in the past two weeks my first one trying to pick the right needle was fucked up the needle was way too small but i managed definitely have to redo that on tho second one of the same tat turned decent but u can see a little shakiness trying to figure out the bigger needle and since that one they have been pretty good I am not an artist but I was always good at tracing but I feel I could use some more tips
Just keep practicing Ralph you'll start to get the hang of it. Just make sure your practicing on some fruit or something. If you use the needles on fruit first you will get a better understanding of how that needle works, the size line it puts down and what not. So make sure your practicing and not just hitting skin. But keep at it Ralph experience is the best way to learn some times. 👍👍
Do you ride the tube when packing black on a blackout piece with a 27 mag?
I do have a question brother .. and here it is I’ve done a shit ton of single needle work with let’s just say not the best equipment if your picking up what I’m putting down but anyhow I’m getting ready to step up my game and I would like to figure out what type of Machine should I get I like these new style I’ve never used one of those they look very user-friendly if you will I see you use one .... sorry mind running away back to the question so in your Opinion how hard would it be to go from single needle and no adjustments to these types of Machines and which one do you recommend ? I don’t have a huge budget but I got something to work with thank you for taking the time and keep up the great work
Tim i just recently got an inkjecta flite nano. It's a very nice rotary that's very light and great power with that comfortable feel of the old cd motor an bic pen cap. Can be a tad pricy depending on how much you enjoy tattooing.
How do u measure your stroke? Everyone says to look it up online but you should be able to measure the cam or the needle or something to find a round about stroke of your machine. Anyone know how???
Thanks for your videos! I have a question about riding the tube. If you're tattooing a cartilaginous zone or if you're near a bone would it be to deep to set the depth of the needle to 2mm?
good question..I'd say yes its top deep . but barely. maybe do 1.5mm on those spots
Hello, I love your videos and I am not riding the tube but I was using a 11F and no matter the depth when the needle touches the skin very lightly before it penetrates the skin it pools and then when I move the needle to like shade or something there’s no ink coming out. I’m sooo confused. Any thoughts Thanks.
How do you stop a machine from spitting ink?
How come the ink doesn’t run down by the short needle?
I had a question about needles whats the difference between tattooing with a 1009rl and a 1209rl would the lines be thinker with the number 12
LOL THANKS 😊 MY OLD ARTIST RODE THE TUBE ON ME 😖😫😫😫 it pooled up
👍
When I ride the tip of the needle for some reason the ink doesn't go in the skin, so I've been riding the tube. I've been tattooing for 20 years & I always have this ink flow problem with my liners.
Are these skins just good for linework or can you shade/color as well? And of so how accurate is this to real skin?
Great question Kyle👍 The skins are good for both lining and shading some skin seem to be a little bit better for shading the thicker ones but either way they’re both great for practice. Real skin is a bit different than fake skin but again it’s practicing getting comfortable with the machine seeing what clean lines look like. Keep at it brother and keep on rockin!!🤘🤘
How can you pull the needle out or in when using a rotary?
Do you have a video on how to properly set up your machine step by step ?
I don't believe I have a video on that but I will certainly add that to the list of up coming videos. Thank you Sopeak appreciate you watching. 🤘🤘
Art-Something yaaassss ! I’ll be here waiting for that ! You’re awesome !
I only ride the tubes when im doing those thicc long ass lines..but floating them needles is my bread and butter specially when doing fine line stuff.
I agree that knowing when to use the correct technique is key. Long lines for sure if you need to, the tube will do the job, but when you need to be accurate floating the needle is the way.
Jesus Loves you all very much!!!! God Bless everyone!!!!
i seem to sometimes get double lines ,i,m using roundliner and alot ink spatters when running the machine before i actually hit the fake skin, any thoughts? btw love the channel
You putting yo much inc into the tube
Question! I’ve been tattooing and sometimes the ink doesn’t show? I see color in my needles but the ink doesn’t come to skin. Is my needles just cheap?
how do you adjust a cartridge to ride the tube or throw out? i want to ride the tube when shading because i think the ink would pack much betterr but cant seem to figure out how.
If you are suing a rotary pen then you would just rotate the grip and it will allow the needle to go out or in. Best to do this with the machine running so you can see the needles. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I just started tattooing myself because I’m poor and can’t afford to ink my whole body anymore. I try to “ride the tube” but I always still end up with blow outs. I can NEVER figure out the perfect needle depth even after watching videos. Any advice?
What’s recommended for the speed for lining if you float the needle? I have been riding the tube because my apprenticeship tattoo artist says riding the tube is recommended but I tend to not agree with that
What’s a good speed for floating the needle
Most the machines I use 7.5 Volts is usually a great spot to start. However it will depend on so many things. The needle configuration you use, hand speed, machine. I do understand your pain tho. I too was taught and told that ridding the tube is the only way to tattoo and doing anything other than that was not allowed. So I had to teach myself how to float the needles. Sadly most of the time it just comes down to practicing with your equipment. Don't be alarmed it doesn't go to good for a while, cause it's not an easy thing to learn on your own. Hang in there bro and keep grinding it out. As always thanks for watching and supporting 🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething I've subscribed. I've drawn my entire life... Graffiti is my passion. I mainly do solid line (no erase) drawing via pen marker etc. One pull/push etc...Will that help or transfer to good lining? I ask because I've looked over the comments and see a lot of ppl who sketch multiple line passes if you will...You provide absolute kick ass to the point info and demo!!!?? Plus you even respond!!??? Thank You!!!
I started tattooing with floating the needle but when I got my first cartridge machine that's when I started riding the tube.
When floating and doing lines, I push the line toward as I get more control on it but when I ride the tube, I pull the lines towards me.
Yeah I think there is a place for both. I Ride the tube and float the needle on almost every tattoo. It just depends on the line and the type of needle I am using. But when getting the details is very important to float that needle . Thanks for sharing your experiences James really appreciate that my Friend!! 🤘🤘🙏🤘🤘
Hi Im Newbie Tatts Artist From Philippines 🇵🇭
Awesome thanks for watching👍 , glad to hear we have viewers from the Philippines.! 🤘
Yeaaahh , because i want to learn how to do a Floating Line 😁☝️
Can you explain the phrase “throw your needle out a little more”..I get what it means but how? I have a hummingbird bronc rotary and I’m wondering if you’re referring to being able to adjust the cartridge needle in some way I just don’t understand how??? Also my other question would be, I feel like my needle isn’t catching ink well. Any tips?
When I say throw your needle out, yes I am referring to being able to adjust the cartridge needle. With my machine I rotate my grip one way or another and that adjusts how much needle will come out of the tube when running. This adjustment will be different depending upon you set up. Hope this helped Lindsey and thanks again for watching!! 🤘🤘
Yeah most of rotaries have that, I learned that the hard way during a sesh when i turned it too much and the front of the machine ended up dropping. A reflex I have is also to check how much space is between the tube tip and the needles, you mostly never have this problem with high quality cartridges but some can have a little bit of space between the tube and the needle packing, so what I usually do at the start is adjust by slightly "bending" the needles (with a glove of course) to make sure that there isn't an excess space where ink is gonna get stuck in. It's especially important when you're riding the tube as that space might give leeway for your needles to bend incorrectly while you're tattooing.
I’m using a swashdrive whip knock off, due to the hit bar on those machines which allows for a bit of give being flexible ,
No matter how you set the machine, when running the needles come out the tube by around 5mm due to the flex in the bar, I’ve got used to and find it good for detail/ small spaces. Any advice on keeping the tattoo clean while your working on it? I’m struggling between trying to see the stencil through wiped ink or my stencil disappearing before I have all the lines down due to wiping
The key here is to apply the stencil and let it set for 30 min and dry really well. This will allow you to wipe the ink off
without the stencil wiping off with the ink. Hope this helps and thanks for watching Bacon!! 🤘🤘
Art-Something dude thank you for the awesome videos, they have helped improve my tattooing no end, just giving you a follow on Instagram now bud 🛸🥓
How do you adjust the needle depth ?
Twist the tube
Question when riding the tub say the depth isn't enough. Is it going to instantly be a bad line if you pull out adjust your depth and go over it
No you should be fine to go over a line again if it doesn’t come out the way you like it. I just don’t wanna be going over at five or six times and really chewing up the skin.
Hi, when i float the needle and pull a line i find the needle snags in the skin. Why is this happening? Regards.
You may be moving your hand to fast for the speed your machine is set at. I dont know if you watched this video already but I will link it here as this video explains some other important things to do when running lines. th-cam.com/video/8wX_acATCng/w-d-xo.html
most of the times when I do a tattoo the skin gets irritated and red and swollen so I have to stop .. sometimes I don't even finish it..
Its tough in the beginning trying to figure out whats right and what wrong but if you stick with it you will begin to understand what your doing wrong vs what is right. 👍
Is it necessary to put a wrap around the pen? Also what do you call that? Man you consider making an online course 1on1
Yes its important wrap it in order to keep from cross contaminating. Hope this helps and thank you Asy I appreciate the support. Oh and we do have a weekly live show where we take questions from the comments as well. THose are usually on Saturdays. 👍👍🤘🤘

How do you adjust the needle in cartridges?
Twisted the tube
Ok so I wanna be a tatto artist but don’t know do it reuse needles or do I use a new one every time
Yes you need a new needle for each client. After every session you have with a client you need to dispose of all the needles that where used.
@@ArtSomething what about when you are just practising with cartridges on fake skin?
How do u change the needle settings on ur machine? I bought a crappy pen one off wish lol
if you rotate the grip left or right it should adjust your needle hang. At least thats how it is with most pen style machines. 👍
Art-Something thank u daddy💕
I want to get a rotary pen, I don’t know which brand to buy. Help? Also, love your channel btw!
Thank you 🤘. What’s ur budget for a machine?
@@ArtSomething I just saw that they can get pretty damn expensive lol. Since I'm just a beginner, I would say $100 - $200? How much do you think I should spend on my first machine?
Lisa S there are many decent/good machines in that price point. However you need to think about ink and needles as well. If you spend all your money on a machine but use really cheap ink or needles then you may want to re-think your approach. Ink is just as important if not more then the machine. Dragon hawk makes some decent machines for beginners that work pretty well and are at a good price point. But there are many many more brands. However I believe you can get a dragon hawk pretty easily on amazon or what not.
@@ArtSomething I saw that, I was hesitant on buying them because it seems like they get a lot of slack for being cheap. I also bought that ink you mentioned in another video, I think it's big sleeps. You should prob get paid promo for that lmao. Thanks, I suppose I'll look at dragon hawk again. I just thought there would be something a little better.
Lisa S oh there is better that’s just a starting point. I’ll get back with you once I get home and let u know of a few other machines that are good in that price range.
