  • In Todays Tattoo tutorial we will be going over How to blend colors with a mag needle for beginners. We will be using the CNC Q2 machine with a 23 curved bugpin mag with my machine running at 7.5 volts. I will start with red and pack the color then push that color down lightly towards the next color. I will then repeat the process using orange and finish up with yellow. This is a quick, basic color blend, you can spend more time and make a really smooth blend or whatever you desire. Color is not my specialty but I know a lot of you had questions about this so I wanted to do my best to help those of you looking to get into color work.
    Hope you all enjoyed the video and if you did give it up a thumbs up and consider subscribing!!
    I like to remind people that In no way am I a fantastic tattoo artist guys. I just love tattooing but I am still on my journey and want to show you how its done so you can do it and do it better then me!! 🤘

    When the two colours meet are you sort of whip shading or are you just doing faster circles also is it a lighter hand pressure to prevent damage when they meet ? Im new to colour mainly do black and grey so when I tried this where the two colours meet it seems choppy instead of a smooth transition any advice ? Maybe because it was on fake skin also which I know is harder than real skin.

    After watching a few of your other videos, you have a new subscriber. I'm curious if since having your Q2, if it has needed parts replaced, or if the machine itself has been replaced, or if it has been holding it's own since you got it. Also, have you replaced the cam on it or is it still running the 3?
    Personally, I'm a fan of the Bishop power wands (Vlad Blad is nice too but I don't own one), but when it comes to recommending entry machines to newbies so they can figure out if this is for them, suggesting a machine that costs a grand, give or take, is usually a put off.

  • @johnathanblanton7966
    @johnathanblanton7966 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you're wanting a more gradual color blending you can also mix inks and have a reddish orange and a yellowish orange in between. Hell, I've used 2-3 tones in between. Similar to grey wash, the more gradual you want it, the more shades you'll want to use. Mixing color is a whole other thing though. and to everyone who thinks hes crazy tattooing his own leg, I've been doing sessions on my leg ranging from 10-15 min to a couple hours for the past 18 years. It's very important to know how it's gonna feel on yourself before someone else. I never use a new machine on a client before testing on myself. Tattoo artists legs are the original practice skin. ;)

    Hello again it's Wayne. You may have forgotten me but I just subscribed to you're channel. We actually spoke through this comment section yesterday. Once again I so very much appreciate the response and answering my questions. So I have another question maybe 2. My first is are you sponsored by anyone? If so how do you get sponsored? My next big question is I believe you said you use dynamic for black ink and eternal for your colors. Have you heard of Star Bright ink and how do you feel about it? Also one more question. I'm sorry for all the questions! The kwadron cartridges what vender do you go through? Also I noticed in the links for different supplies you said you may receive a small commission for it. I just wanted to say I will purchase some supplies from you're links in hopes you do receive a commission to help out the channel and yourself. I strongly support you're channel even though I just subscribed. Also I'll be sending you an old license plate that you requested for you're decor. Also wanted to say congratulations on your new shop! Much respect brother! 🤘🤘

    Hey man! Any chance you can do a video explaining when and where to apply white highlights? I have a basic idea but I’m curious if you can go over colour with them or if it’s better just to leave space for them. Also just where to apply them

    Another great video Dave. I think I've watched most of your vids several times each. I appreciate that you have links to all your products in the descriptions. Very helpful. As a beginner tattoo artist the one thing that I've found helpful on other YT channels is a more direct Lesson Plans (see Ben Fisher InkRush). I find it beneficial to be able to go step1 to step2 through a series of Lessons designed to help build fundamentals.

    Hi I've noticed there are lots of rotary machines now for sale on amazon. Ones just like the cheyenne hawk. But for literally a fraction of the price. They've had great reviews in comparison to the cheap coil machines. What are your thoughts for a beginner investing in one. I appreciate you won't know the quality of these machines but I'm looking for an educated assumption.

    Great video very informative, I love colour tattoos, blending took me a while to learn a few of my tattoos on my leg have strange bands of colour instead of smooth blends from when I learnt and got it wrong. I like the mistakes though they remind me of my journey

    • @ArtSomething
      @ArtSomething  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah man blending colors can be a bit confusing at first but after a few trials and errors it starts to make sense.
      And your right those mistakes are reminders of the journey we are on. Thanks again Luke always great to hear from you man. Hope all is well and keep Rocking!!! 🤘🤘🤘

  • @stevengrogan768

    How are you getting such a good pack with moving the circles so large? Do bigger needles allow for bigger circles? I still go with super tight small circles for packing no matter needle grouping.

  • @6942jack

    I have coil tattoo guns. When setting them up with needle/tips, do you have it so the exposed part of the tip facing outwards? Or towards the gun? I hope that made sense
