Nice

I totally get what you're saying. But you do need drawing experience, atleast a little. Tattooing is simular to drawing but its definitely different.

In other words its i believe yiu dont need the artistic abilities to draw to do tattoos. As its a skill of its own. But drawing can help you understand it.

@@lilbmxman66akax999thhokage that’s actually a great way of looking at it, I would say interest in drawing iS a plus, being it’s rooted in it, but practicing your line work is the most important, there is plenty of reasons for tracing, but one key aspect is line flow, for example the way an eye might go into a nose, in a traditional piece might be a continuous line flow, this line flow you can take as a building block into other pieces, you could use the line memory to step into a place where someone can walk in with a random idea and you could pull from the data base you’ve created in your own mind something that looks like sailor Jerry drew it but is the design a client wants. The video and tips you watched are laying building blocks for photo realistic tattoo work, which is a completely different ball game, but some aspects of traditional line work can even improve upon the design aspects of photo real, plenty of the best European photorealistic guys have actually reverted back to a more traditional line work style and the results are amazing.

​@@francisbaxter4663 Sorry I'm not native english speaker, what does tracing means? I'm guessing it's not just drawing lines?

Thanks for the motivation 😭😭

Of course! 🙏🏾

you could have done a google search with voice activated keyboard

Try readjusting the length of the needle itself, if it hangs too far it won't deposit ink

Really all depends. Some parts of the body skin is way thicker and some people have overall thicker skin than people. Its hard to visualize the dermis so gettin to know how it feels when you are tattooing in the proper layer of the skin is key.

I mean it sounds like you did get it you just gave up on actually learning the details you should just try it out

That’s why u only go so deep ur needle should never be long enough to do that I had my cousin do my first tattoo and he went over a vein and it never did anything

Well said!

So what if he is? If the info is accurate that’s all that matters

Je ne parle pas français mais je vais essayer de vous expliquer on a l'impression d'être griffé par un chat à plusieurs reprises Parfois, vous pouvez sentir vos os vibrer selon l’endroit où vous vous faites tatouer. Je suis très sensible à la douleur mais un tatouage c'est vraiment pas si mal, j'en ai deux

The guy is me lol

@Qinks ohhh. Showing the technique on yourself?... Were you able to turn it into something?

No, my legs are covered in tattoos so that spot it barely noticeable

@Qinks oh haha, I see. Thanks for showing us the technique on real skin though. I appreciate your sacrifice.

skin is skin no matter how much fat is deep beneath it.

Don’t need to cuss

@@Tommy-nr3vv shut your soft ass up go cry to a manager, karen ass mfer

Fake skin / fruit

How do you know it’s the right depth?

Heck no, if it felt like a cat scratch I think most would tap out within 10 minutes 🤣

@@Qinks wait foreals. im kinda scared of getting a tat but I'm ok with cat scratches. so ill be fine?

It’s like a vibrating burning/scraping sensation. Basically what sounds like is what it feels like - someone dragging multiple little needles across and into your skin. It’s a hard pain to compare to something you could get normally hurt by. Mixture of multiple cat scratches over sunburnt skin I think is how I usually describe to someone who asks.

@@frogg4458 ok ok i can imagine it a little. tnx!. was going to get one when I went to vegas but chickened out xD.

Me lol

@@Qinkso shit you win! I subscribed

I thought the dermis was mainly just solid since it just looks like a white sheet before blood kicks in and interferes

I don’t understand your comment. Where does he say the epidermis stores ink? He specifically says to target the dermis because that’s where the ink is held.

I always go off of that “Grip” feeling when you feel the skin is gripping the needle you’re in the right spot. Kind of boils down to getting familiar with what to feel for vs going off of how deep you are actually going or whatnot.
