It's like when a violinist holds a note through bow changes... it looks sooo simple but there's a world of practice and understanding to make it right.
Absolutely spot on
I love this comparison, it really makes sense!
Yepppp, I got a black sleeve and the first artist I went to made my arm drip with blood more than I've ever seen anywhere, and I have scars of the pattern I had them do before covering the rest straight black. Picking your artist is just as important with blackout as it is with a normal piece
I had no idea how easy blackouts could go wrong. I never doubted that it requires skill and knowledge, but you just never see results like this. Thanks for sharing!
Yea it can get pretty scary for sure, I’ve seen so many of these over the years, and thanks for watching!
As a beginner with blackwork aspirations this has been very insightful. I appreciate the content!!!
Thanks for watching! There’s tons more videos like this on my page so I hope to of some more use to ya! Cheers
" Hay Remy " It's good to see what can go wrong in the real world and not the world of filters and perfection instagram etc. Keep em coming ✌
Thanks for watching buddy! I sure will
" the line work is the best part of this blackout" 🤣🤣
😂
The 3rd image was me, Remy. I appreciate your help back then. I have since moved on to a different artist that has fixed all of the busted attempts. We are using a 45 now, and it looks excellent. The original artist did not know what he was doing, but we both went into it together knowing it would be a learning process. After quite a few failed sessions, I decided it just wasn't going to work and moved on to a new artist that knows what she is doing.
everything you guys said here is spot on, and I appreciate it very much! Thanks again for the help. I'll send you an update on insta asap.
Happy to hear you’ve got it sorted out my friend!
Thanks for the information, you're right, there should be much more videos like this online!
I’ve been experimenting a lot with full black backgrounds and then white or black ink on top and I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Thank you very much for the content.
Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching
WOW! That's actually quite scary. I'd hate to have that happen to me. I am going to get my inner arm finished and back piece on the 24th of this month. (I hope) If I do, then I'll be sure to send them in for you guys.
Can’t wait to see them!
I’m glad you made this video. So many idiots at my tattoo shop think blacking out is so easy but it’s quite possibly one of the most difficult styles
Definitely, greatly underestimated
Apparently I lucked out hard, I approached a fella to see if he was interested in doing a blackout sleeve for me, he had never done it but figured he could. We did the whole thing with 7& 11 needles. Took 6 sessions to lay down the black and even it out. And another 8 to do the white line work over top. Its been over 2 years in the making. I am obviously biased but I have the best blackout sleeve in the country(can).Watching this video made me realize how lucky I am hahaha I just assumed it was something any artist could do, and my artist apparently thought the same lol 😂
Ayyy happy for you 😎Best feeling to get exactly or as close as you wanted something ‘permanent’ to go
This was horrifying, I wish we could see how this last dude worked and their setup 😂
"I'll let you know if it's that bad. " 😂 My thoughts exactly
Thanks a bunch for making this video and sharing your experience.
Thanks for watching
This was really great to see!
Thanks for watching!
This was an eye opener. Gona talk some more to my artist and alsow send him this video. Have a great friday bro
Same to you my friend thanks for watching
I'm on my third passage solid black arm. This passage my new artist used a 50. It looks good so far but only a week old.
Hey I’m from the first video I’d love to show it off when it’s finished. I was about half way up my forearm then and I’m past my elbo now. Getting a touch up session soon too but I’m getting close to the shoulder so I’m almost done design wise. Not sure how many touch ups I’ll need though
Keep at it buddy! You’re on the right track, and I’d of course love to see more of it, please do send it in
First time watching this channel, dude has a really sick look, unfortunately I can’t begin my body modification journey cause I’m in the military but I’m excited to start it when I’m out
Thanks for watching buddy, cheers!
I got mine started in 2017, and finished 2018
Some cover ups on my forearm, but it’s black with negative space designs from my hand up to my shoulder. My artist used a 48 curved mag I believe. I haven’t had it touched up since but can definitely tell it needs it. I’d love to send my arm in for a review and Info on going about touch ups. If that’s an option please let me know! 🤘🏼
Definitely! Send the pictures to ehemeralremy@gmail.com!
Ugh the last one was how my upper arm looked. Currently waiting for it to heal still from last Nov. Going to a different artist for my next go around. She has more experience with heavy black work.
Best of luck to you this time!
How did it all turn out ?
@@rigo_1111 bout to go get it touched up in April. Wanted to wait a good long while before going back at it.
@@LaMu3rtenegra I got that blackout back in April/ may of 2022 so it’s been a while for it to fully heal
Whats the blackest and darkest tattoo ink for this type of work?
I soo appreciate this! ❤️🔥 Thanks you guy's for the valuable info👊
Thanks for watching!
I used my bishop wand liner with 4.5 volt with 23mag and man it punched 🥊 worked like a dream
I want to get a half sleeve blackout do you recommend half sleeves or full sleeve?
11:54 When Obi-Wan works on you
I'll never get the blackout tattoos. To each their own, there are people who don't like my tattoos but this I can't wrap my mind around
On the first picture I noticed toward the knuckles there were lines, do they not use shaders to do black outs?
Nevermind you kinda answered my question during the vid talking about mag size, which I assume a 35 is a wide shader?
All of my blackouts were done with 27s, broader needle groups don’t pack too dense a black
So real quick i got my first ever blackout started on my arm 4 days ago from my fingers to a little over my elbow and this thing is pretty swollen still my hand is so puffy is this normal? Also i have been having a lot of trouble finding out how to sleep with out my arm touching anything. Any advice?
Sleep with your arm elevated on a pillow if the swelling is very bad, and I always wore a clean light hoody over my healing Blackwork as a layer of protection. As far as swelling is concerned it’s typical to be swollen for any days after a blackout session, only be concerned if there is puss or thick scabbing occurs
I’m almost finished on a black sleeve going. To give the white a go no need ma tattooist 🏴🏴
I don't mind blackout sleeves or just huge patches of blackout but it's not for me, I'm more into abstract black work, not anything ignorant style but jagged metal/gothic looking gashes of black with bold outlines! I have ideas for a cover up sleeve and I'm just looking for the right artist and means to do it!
How many blackout touch ups can you get? I had my left arm done over the past few years but some parts are darker than others. Will I destroy my skin? Is it cool to keep getting a few more touchups until it's all one smooth black? Plz reply!
Where can I send pics?
Ephemeralremy@gmail.com
Yes it’s perfectly fine to keep getting my touch ups, as long as the work is done well there’s no risk, and the only risk even if it was done poorly is infection, which is treatable
I've had trouble with solid black work but I've never hurt myself as bad as the last guy. I can relate on some level and I'm glad I have better skills than that. Good luck to him.
It’s a lot tougher to do well than most people realize, i can’t count how many people have tried to say anyone can do it
@@EphemeralRemy very true. I'm lucky to work with my mentor remotely at the moment. It helps alot but its not everything.
Cant wait too see "how easy" people think this is to do
Any black inks you would recommend? I’m sure you’ve said it many times through your videos already
Dynamic and panthera are the best, but they both have a different coloration
Hey Remy, love your channel and your tattoos! I would love for you to throw your two cents about my blackout. It was performed by Mark Walker at the Grand Reaper down in San Diego, CA. I have two videos on my channel that show it.
Where is this shop located? Lol I MUST KNOW
I also have a question for my black work. Is it a huge deal to EVER be out in direct sunlight? There are so many answers on line. Your ink seems to hold well.
I keep direct sunshine to an absolute mimnium, and when I do go out in summer unfortunately I’m always completely covered up, better safe than sorry!
Wait what happens if you go out in the sun with black work?
You get very hot very quickly, I’ve never let myself get sun burned, but I’d imagine it would happen easily and badly
Been thinking of doing this to cover up my prison sleeves. Want to see what it’s not supposed to look like before I do it myself.
Any tips on how to blackout tattoo?
Anecdotally only as I’m not an artist myself, but this channel is full of talk about how my artists have done mine
@@EphemeralRemy thanks for responding and being honest. I’ll check your page and see if I find what I was looking for.
Best wishes my friend!
That 3rd one looked so damn painful
What is the shop in Alberta that you were talking about that does good black work?! I’m in Edmonton and have been looking to get some black work.
I’m not sure what you mean but there’s almost always someone local who’s capable of doing it
Technique,Mechanics,muscle memory play alot in being able to have proper saturation.... sometimes different needle groupings work for one dosent work for another..even the same person depending on the areas might need to change grouping and or machines..my solid black work game is on point. if you cant saturate a palm size piece properly with out chewing someone up or falling in one go.. either practice more or hang it up..solid saturation is deceptively hard too do..
Precisely you nailed it there man
do you ever sunburn on your arms, or do you ever need sunscreen on your tattooed skin?
Sure do to both
That last one!!! 🤒😱😱
Maybe I’ll invest in a couple machines and set up a black work studio. It can’t be any more boring or difficult than shipyard welding.
@Ephemeral Remy what's the beginning track you used?
It’s a sample track by Kevin (the other dude on the show)
Is nose or ear cartilage expanded or punched for biopsy?
You can do either technically, mine is all stretched though, I’ve never had anything punched
oh my god that looked like a literal burn victim
sometimes it is not infection
but an immune systems reaction from the massive tattoing
Bruh, that last one is unbelievable
Omfg
Hah for sure
I'm trying to "black out" my arm but with color. It's looking pretty cool so far I think!!! My artist is amazing luckily c:
ooooo that sounds sick..Would love to see that
Craziest part, hoode doesn’t charge that much. His rates are typically just 1500 for full sleeves. Yet other black work artists who aren’t nearly as skilled charge 3x as much (not an exaggeration, I paid 4.5k for mine and he’s an artist who worked with hoode briefly so he knew his rates)
I had no idea that y'all are in my province. My head just exploded
My 4 year old son said the second one looks like an elephant's trunk lol
intro song?
New game idea, how about botched black or necrotic wound? Guess which one.
Man, there are some serious ink butchers out there.
Just another fine example of why you gotta pick your artist wisely.
Sounds like a terrifying game haha, and you’re not wrong my friend, I’ve actually had worse sent to me but they weren’t ok with having it on show like this
Mine is due for a touch up. Covid and pregnancy put a huge gap in getting it repacked.
But it was a cover up too so in some areas it didn’t take as well as it could’ve thanks to scarring
It can always get sorted out, best wishes!
@@EphemeralRemy thank you. I’m booked for October so fingers crossed the covid bug does bite me again 😭
If you can fill an area and shade it's that easy. Easiest pieces I've ever done. It's just painstaking and time consuming.
i have a question bc i have a half sleeve on my forearm that i got when i was a young dummy who happen to hit on some money went to meet my friend he was getting tatted while i was wanting i was looking at a magazine seen something i liked and got it and at that time i was young dumb and now im older and im defiantly not happy with it which serves me rite bc the money i paid with was made doing stuff that wasn't so legal put it that way and karma is a bitch anyway the only thing i can think of in order to cover it is blacking out my question is once the arm is fully black can tattoo artist basically use it as a clean canvas and do a tattoo over the black with white ink and make it look like a regular tattoo? sorry for writing English not my first language
See my most recent vlog, I’ve been covering my blackout with new tattoos for years
Roughly how long would it take to do a wrist to elbow job?
A few hours for a skilled professional
@@EphemeralRemy cheers bud, and I'm guessing roughly the same for the touch up visit???
A full skim of a black arm can be done pretty fast, I’ve fully skimmed / touched up mine in roughly an hour and a half sometimes
@@EphemeralRemy awesome, cheers dude.
i got a blackout inpulsvley.......can it be fixed?
Yes
That last one is scary
For sure
That last picture of all the arms, that's definitely somebody that doesn't know what they're doing. That's a lot of trauma, the less trauma and tattoo, the better.
I've been tattooing for 5 years. And I've never had any tattoos like.
where is the shop in alberta ?
Lethbridge
Ronnie Radkes looks pretty well done, what I saw of it. What you guys think?
That last one is tragic
Well im happy i watched this video 🙃🙃
That last one is Angry
fidget spinner ears
Why?
all blackouts are failures...the person failed to get a quality tattoo and then covered it with a blackout.
Fake news. My first body suit was 550 of work most people would dream to have. not everything you don’t understand is bad. Educate yourself before making a fool of yourself in the future sweetheart
I feel like ima catch shit over this, but what is the purpose of black out tattoos?
I’ve made a few videos on that on this very channel actually
I don't want to seem judgemental, but what is it that people see in these that make them want to do this. Just curious
I’ve made several videos explaining that on this channel
Really need to send in mine so you can dunk on me and my allergic reaction to red ink. Still can't touch up cuz the reaction hasn't fully cleared and it's been 8 months 😂
It can take a long time for sure
I’m three years into my allergic reaction to a red ink. Still sucks haha
oh wow I had an allergic to red as well! and this was 20 years ago lul
Red allergy is the worst, mine still flares up and it's been 15 years, thankfully it's only small flower petals, I regret getting any colour at all, and my half sleeve (wrist to elbow) is in the process of being blacked out to cover the colour.
you black out you back in the future hahahaha
That I do, haha
I bet color artists would do better at this than black and gray artists. I've only ever had one tattoo artist who applied color correctly, and you can tell even when it's happening.
Definitely
4:00 I don’t know for a fact he WASNT going for this, but this one looks like a turtle shell to me. Or lizard skin. I highly doubt that was intentional.
You have to be very talented black out skin ----changing depth ----understanding the difference in types of skin in different areas of the human form
You should be hydrating your skin with lotion for years for the best skin for tattoos to be on.
Pain trough the eyes D:
For sure
god bless that darkness.
How does this man use headphones?
Actually headphones work the same as they used to for me
I’ve got a black arm and a black leg..I’m going over both with color now. 20 years of a black arm is pretty boring.
Already there
I have a bad imposted black square very large in a attempt to black out got any Feed back
@@EphemeralRemy. My black out is unfinished I like to show you can I have your email
I wonder if Remy's hearing has been significantly with all those holes in his ears, just a thought 🤔
Nope
Use intenze zuper black newby
This guy is making me think tattoos can be a hobby instead of just anti-society
Literally 😅
I've been tattooing for 17 years and I just don't get the trend of blackouts. I will do them if requested but holy fuck is it boring. I don't see how anyone has any enjoyment doing them
It’s boring but not nearly as boring as black and grey lions, water color, or line style floral. There’s also nothing my boring about what my artist and I are doing over top of mine, in fact it’s never been done before and we’re having a blast, lol
My tattoo guy is so covered he in his was to black out
Smaller mag and slower speed !!!!!! Those are so over worked
I’m a fan of tattoos I have them myself but why anyone would want a “blackout” blows my mind. “Here just grab some black and color my body” why!?!?
There’s tons of reasons, my channel has many explanation videos about why I did it, why other people do, and also what I’m doing since the blackout
Funny people think black is easy like you say, however I paint cars and do other correction work on automotive paint and guess which color is the hardest to get perfect or “as close to perfect as possible “…… Black paint , if it’s not prepared, sprayed or buffed correctly your
F*cked and I don’t mean proper F*cked. I mean starting over and losing lots of time and material. Even different different levels of gloss make certain blacks difficult, like a flat or Hot rod black Can Not be corrected it will always show. You have to scuff and reshoot, so if a piece of dirt or a bug gets in the finish before it cures any corrections will most definitely show up. Stands to reason that large sections of black ink can suffer the same fate
Why does nobody do these in different colors?
Some do actually, but the reason is simple, blackout generally is done as a coverup/ second suit, and black covers everything, other colors don’t cover as well
@@EphemeralRemy oh okay, thanks! I was wondering if it had something to do with the color-aging or something like that and I couldn’t find any information anywhere or evidence that other people have gotten large solid areas done in color
Look up trism driver if you want to see s blue out, there’s also some heavy red work out there, but I haven’t seen s full body suit of it yet
@@EphemeralRemy awesome, thanks a bunch man
Anytime, best wishes and happy new year
Wait, hold up. Where in Alberta?
Lethbridge
@@EphemeralRemy oh right on. Been considering some blackout work for a while but haven't had a clue where to find someone that can do it right.
Anyone showing healed solid color saturation is a good bet
oo that would suck to have a "prison" blackout. feelz bad for them :(
Me too
i hope this trend goes down a little before it just becomes another dead an gone trend
Nice didn't know you had a youtube
That’s social media for you haha, I’ve been advertising my TH-cam for the last three years everyday
I’ll watch anything I guess
When tiktokers start getting inked because it’s popular, but don’t fully understand ink or needles!
cool ear
