I put my fake skin (reel skin) on an arm rest to help feel the vibration and to feel more real. Plus it helps the back out. Thanks for all your videos. Self taught tattoo guy here too. It's been fun
Honestly the best advice I’ve heard! I’m just getting into the world of portraits from doing traditional tattoos mainly! I always get confused on how to map out my stencil, I always think do I stencil the highlights, dark tones or both. I think I’m over thinking it, but this video has helped so much!
I deff understand what your talking about as when I started making detailed stencils I also was unsure if I wanted to detail the darks the lights or both. Now I just realized that I need to detail or stencil the parts of piece that will help me render it in the end. Its just a road map and everyone may have a slightly different one. Glad the video helped you Ellie and I wish you the best as you start to get into Portraits!! You got this and Keep Rocking!!🤘
That bleach trick is amazing! I have the cheaper 3mm thick fake skin that I couldn't get the stencil off so I thought they were a lost cause. Once I recieved my Reelskin in the mail & saw the bleach remedy on the instructions, I soaked all the fake skins I tattooed that the stencil was still visible & the ones I changed my mind & couldn't get the stencil off- 24 hours & the stencil just goes away!
Yeah man it is a life saver cause we always want that stencil to stick solid but when its done we also need it to go away lol. Thanks for the support Graffics and glad to hear your skins are now stencil free! 🤘🙏
Great! You just tell the same experience i have made. Sometimes its really funny when u finished just 1/3 and think ''wow that will take so long'', and suddenly realise u just finished. Im thankful for the tip to practise on paper first!
Yeah the longest part is deff the beginning bit cause after that it seems things start to roll pretty well and about the time you have had enough its done. Glad you enjoyed the video C and thank you for the support my friend!! 🤘🙏🤘🙏
That’s solid dude, I like how you showed the process of printing the exact same stencil you used for the fake skin on the paper to do the practise first, great work. The hair always looks so annoying to do, well and truly not looking forward to doing it when I get around to it lol.. looking forward to more 🤙🏼🤓👍🏼 🇦🇺
Thank you Craig really appreciate that man! 🙏 And yeah printing the stencil on paper first and practicing it makes a huge difference in the final result as you really get to know the stencil before applying it to fake skin or skin. Oh and the hair is such a pain in the butt!! Thanks again Graig!! 🤘🙏🤘
My friend wants me to tattoo a black & grey portrait of his English bulldog on him- I've been practicing for about a year and a half & I've tattooed his pup on reelskin a few times but because the ink doesn't heal on reelskin, it comes out too dark even using one drop so I'm nervous to tattoo him. It'll be my first tattoo on someone so I think I should just go for it & trust the greywash system. I'm glad you mentioned it in the video how even the one drop is too dark on fake skin. I think I'm going to tattoo the shades on my leg so I know exactly how they'll look healed. A living reference chart! Until I am dead of course. Then I won't be able to use it anymore. Well, maybe.
I think its awesome that you already practiced it a few times on fake skin. I wish you the best of luck brother! If you feel confident then go for it man I know you will come out of it learning a LOT. And as I know its great to have a healed reference of what your washes will look like. I hope you kill it bro! 🤘
This is perfect thank you. Exactly what I needed to see and understand how the process works. Thanks for sharing your mistakes because it helps everyone grow and you’re better for it. Keep up the good work buddy
Thanks bro, appreciate the tips. I just did a portrait on fake skin myself and you helped me out on realizing a few things after the fact. I follow all your work
@@ArtSomething yes your videos have helped me alot. I am very serious in tattooing and have invested a ton of time into it in the past 3 months. I sent you a lot of my drawings on fake skin and the first tatts I did. Hoping to get your critique and opinion soon! Thanks again for the help 💯
Would absolutely love more videos like this with more detail... Your a life saver bro frfr , I've learned more from your videos than anyone else's. Thanks for all that you do , your truly a Blessing ...
That's probably something I will never attempt to do. The skill that it takes to do a portrait is way above my skill lvl lol. I can draw one but not sure I could ever tattoo one.
Two years ago I said those EXACT words. You just never know what will/can happen when you keep pushing or when people keep pushing you to strive for more. Keep working hard and keep rocking my friend and I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!!🤘🙏
Yea i can relate with you on not leaving some things alone and thats where that saying sometimes less is more comes to mind. But i liked it bro! Def. A thumbs up
I feel like I have learned so much with your videos. And i have not layed hands on a tattoo machine yet. I have been wanting to tattoo for the longest and I'm glad I found your videos. Stay tuned for my work lol
Attempting something like this, is too much stress for me but I still sucked up all that knowledge & learned something new! Great job & easy explanations, as always! 👌
Thank you Smoke I really do appreciate that! And I feel you there as I told myself I would NEVER try tattooing portraits but Andy B kept pushing me to do so and well im working towards it. Fingers crossed actual skin goes well. Thanks again SMOKE God Bless and Keep Rocking Brother!! 🤘🙏
Thank you so much Art!! Glad to hear its really coming together and happy to hear the channel could help you out. Keep working hard and thank you for the support! 🤘🙏
Thank you Luke much appreciated brother!! 🙏 And yeah fake skin doesnt cry if you mess up so id say give it a go when you get a chance. Thanks gain Luke, God Bless brother!🤘🙏🤘🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIC!! 🤘🙏 I really appreciate the kind words. And you can do this as well just put the time and practice in. Maybe work it out on paper first then transfer to fake skin and so on. Keep working at it as these things can really take time. THanks again Eric and God BLess!!🤘🙏
@@ArtSomething freeking awsome dude cowabunga! (Cowboy voice) You know I watch a lot of fellers in these here neck of da woods(you tube) and only 2 have ever responded! You and BigStackD the melter with the clown mask, anyways brother you are really good and trust me I’m trying and my wife and my best friend of 20 years have been my canvas and awsome help(besides all the dumbasses in prison but who’s keeping count) 😝 keep it real homies! And I’ll keep trying not to f**k up so bad, jk, I’m taking your advice and fixing myself up, thank you for all the great content brother and knock ‘em dead, ~El Indio~
Thank you so much Chaos I will certainly try to get another one of these put together in the future as I need to continue to practice and get more comfortable before I try putting a portrait on the skin. Thanks again Chaos appreciate the support!🤘🙏
Thank you SO much Peter I really really do appreciate the support. I have a ways to go and look forward to more practicing to come. Glad you enjoyed the video and Peace to you too Brother!!🤘🙏🤘🙏
Yes so crazy I love you man this video couldn’t have come at a better time I got my wand Shader from Harry Potter ready to shoot sum magic up into some fake skin ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Hannah much appreciated and I have done a little Galaxy work but not enough to feel like I have anything to really offer on it unfortunately.
Be patient as you get better tattooing and more comfortable with your needles and what not you will be able to take the skills you have on paper and translate them to skin with needles but this process can take some time so dont rush just keep working hard and keep your head up!! God Bless you brother and Keep Rocking!!🤘🙏🤘🙏
@@ArtSomething I just want to thank you for your time and effort to teaching people like me, you do an awesome job and work; I love tattooing. I hope to be as good one day. Thank you for your insight.
Great question as the hair is the most painful part of the process lol. I will try to do a video about tattooing hair the more I get into it. Best simple advice is slow down take your time. Thanks David appreciate the support! 🤘🙏
Hey brother how did you get the inkjet stencils on to the fake skin . I having a help of a time doing it . The thermal printer 1s I have no problem. But the inkjet ones I print out I can't get them on the fake skin and I spent a shit ton of money for the printer and ink and it's being wasted cause I can't use .
Thank you Charles I appreciate that! And yes the Wand comes with an RCA cable not foot pedal. You will need a power supply and footpedal or a wireless powersupply with no foot pedal.
@@ArtSomething Thanks my guy!! Appreciate that!!✌ I was gonna pull the trigger yesterday on the packer. I went to check on the power source supplies then went back to get the packer and they sold out that fast😭
I think I was around 8 volts for this tattoo. And more detail doesnt exactly mean slower hand speed and les voltage. It means each mark you make matters even more then usual so take your time and make sure each mark is the best you can do and is in the correct spot. Sometimes we can get in a rush or at least I know I can as I really want to get to the end cause I want to see the finished piece but in most cases like this its best to just take your time and let it work itself out. Sorry for the long answer but I hope this helps you out. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel Donald its much appreciated! 🤘🙏
This video is a lot of help. What size are your ink cups…wanting to follow your guide on wash. I’m trying to smooth out and find my bearings on my grey wash..still struggling
How do you get the stencil to stick on reel skin? I´m using Stencil Stuff but it rubs of to easy even though I let i sit for about 2-3 days. Tips would be appreciated
whipe the stencil stuff off the skin withe a paper towel til is almost gone whipe not to hard .and than put the stencil on and let it dry for 15 to 30 min and go!
Nice work I use these fake skins all the time, however I can never get that damn carbon off is bleach the only method to remove it, and doesnt the bleach dry and fade the ink out? Thanks
Check the channel out as I have several tattoo machine vids that I think you may really like that may help you make the right decision for you and your budget. Also I have links in the description on my vids if you want to check out a few different machines.
Thanks for making this video Please I have two questions 1. Can you use ink raw without diluting with distilled water ? 2. What’s the name of the app you using for the portrait ? Please kindly reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 and can you be my tattoo coach?
Dave, have you used that tattoo armrest that you have listed below on the Amazon list? I was thinking of getting it because I'm about to do my first tattoo soon. Just wanted to know how sturdy is. Thanks!
Yeah man thats the one I use. I just went and double checked it to confirm it. I like the arm rest it works for me and is pretty sturdy as well. Best of luck to you brother as you get ready to do your first tattoo. 🤘🤘
Bonjour débutant dans le monde du tatouage je souhaite me perfectionner dans les portraits avez vous des conseils svp ? Avez vous des stencil de portrait pour entraînement ? Merci beaucoup
No I dont soak them in anything. I use some Isopropyl alcohol to clean the skins first then let dry and apply the stencil. Once im done with the tattoo I then soak the skin in Bleach over night to get the stencil to go away. Thank you for the support from Poland Dominik!!🤘🙏🤘
Yeah I look forward to trying another down the road but I had to start somewhere in this portrait journey. Thanks Obeser I do appreciate the support!!🤘🙏
I suppose you can. Im not one to discourage people from trying new things or tattooing for that matter as long as they are being safe with it. With that said you will have a MUCH harder time finding your way in tattooing if you dont know how to draw or understand shading and what have you. Because once you learn "how" to tattoo then the art ability has to come through in order to really get anywhere. I would heavily encourage you to start drawing before you spend the time and money on all the equipment. With TH-cam you can learn so much as there are MANY videos that will help you learn to draw and shade and what not. DEFF take the time to study and learn that side first cause if your serious about wanting to tattoo then this would be step one. Hope this helps answer your question Brian and thank you for asking the question. 🤘🤘
Thank you so much Peter and I hope to do another one in the future and share a longer version of it for those who would like to watch it. Thank you again Peter really do appreciate the kind words and support!!🤘🙏🤘🙏
Hey brother if you ever not want to wait a day for it to dry you can stick it in the microwave for 3 minutes and you will be ready to go it won't go anywhere I promise.

What voltage were you running? More detail means lower voltage for slower hand speed... Correct?
I think I was around 8 volts for this tattoo. And more detail doesnt exactly mean slower hand speed and les voltage. It means each mark you make matters even more then usual so take your time and make sure each mark is the best you can do and is in the correct spot. Sometimes we can get in a rush or at least I know I can as I really want to get to the end cause I want to see the finished piece but in most cases like this its best to just take your time and let it work itself out.

2. What’s the name of the app you using for the portrait ?
Please kindly reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 and can you be my tattoo coach?

put your fake skin in to the oven to dry the stencil at 90°C for about 20 min ;-)
Hey man what is the name of that app you were using to make that stencil???
Hey bro! Is there a certain method behind adding white highlights? Do you do it over black or not? That’s one thing I’m struggling a bit to understand
What stencil program is this ?
Have you tried a stencil app?
Is it possible to be a "tattoo artist" without being an "artist"? Basically can you be good tattoo artist and not be good at drawing?
Awesome job by the way. This question has absolutely nothing to do with your talent.
I suppose you can. Im not one to discourage people from trying new things or tattooing for that matter as long as they are being safe with it.
