Before I started learning how to tattoo, I was a watercolor/gouache painter. I've been really wanting to try practicing these types of tattoos because I adore watercolor so much. So happy to find a tutorial. 🥰

@IHaveNoLaifu Жыл бұрын

Oh, and if you happen to see my comment, I also have a non related question. I have 2 small tattoos on my practice leg. One was lined with a 9rl the other used a 13rl. The two tattoos have the same line weight (line thickness?) I'm wondering what I did wrong? Is it a case of the needle not going in deep enough or am I moving my hand too fast?

@cindyjames1468 Жыл бұрын

@@IHaveNoLaifu you either havnt gone deep enough or hand speed to voltage isn't right maybe turn voltage up or slower depending on your hand speed just play about and see what works 😊 eventually your get it iv been self taught on and off last couple years and iv only just got it properly from trial and error hope this helps

@IHaveNoLaifu Жыл бұрын

@@cindyjames1468 ahh, thank you. 💕 It's more likely than not a case of me not going in deep enough. Although none of my practice tattoos have blown out, needle depth still makes me more cautious than it probably should. When I get around to fixing it, I'll try going in a little deeper.

@dalebogucki 2 жыл бұрын

If you use too much water these tattoos fade too fast. You are better off using a full spectrum color pallet that is full saturation. Make sure to include the tale-tell darker richer tones where paint gathers and dries. I suggest looking for actual watercolor paintings that you like and recreating them, as opposed to imagining what watercolor actually looks like. You will find you are using the inks at full strength, and that you choose a bigger pallet. The look is phenomenal, and causes less stress on the skin. I would be happy to teach anyone the best tricks to have a watercolor tattoo that has staying power.

@dalebogucki 2 жыл бұрын

I agree you have to loosen up on your strokes. That is key to good blending at any ink strength. But I will argue a full color palette, as opposed to watering down ink will last longer. I have seen tattoos I did fade badly because I used the waterdown technique. Putting water in dark colors is fine, especially in black, but warm tones and pastels will just not have staying power. You are better off mixing a full spectrum palette. Take some time and study watercolor paintings you like. Look at what the artist was doing. It will help you make better decisions about your color palette. Looking at watercolor tattoos will not help you get better at watercolor tattoos. You have to look at an actual painting to understand what is happening with the colors.

Thank you smoke much appreciated brother. I look forward to getting a look at this in the real world healed and see all the different things I can learn from that as well and share that in another video. This is also just one way to do watercolor you can also do it without watering down your ink and in that way you don’t have to worry about it fading as much. Sadly I have not tried this technique on fake skin but that is a good idea. Thanks again smoke and you stay safe as well my friend!🤘🙏

@ArtSomething 2 жыл бұрын

Yes you can pack color however you want you can pack water down color however you want. If you’re comfortable doing something best to just stick with that. Also this is just one type of watercolor where you truly use water in your color. Another way instead of using water you could use a lighter pink and then where you want it darker use a darker pink to give me a fact of water color.

How do you know how many dips in the water is the right consistency for the color you want?

@ArtSomething 2 жыл бұрын

You kinda have to figure that out for yourself and depending upon the client skin. That’s why I said a couple times in the video that in the beginning I went with more water than I needed and then put that in the skin and if it wasn’t dark enough if you will I would get back into my color and add less water until I got the result I was looking for. So you kind of have to mess around a little bit and find what works for each client and their skin type.
