10 Tips For Tattooing Fake Skin

[@Luckiestluckyman]

I just started, and this man has been a huge help! Im currently an apprentice and im “not allowed to tattoo customers yet” which is understandable but this man has helped me with understanding line work aswell as other things!!

[@michaelllanos1639]

😢

[@beingAsAnOcean40]

good luck with your apprenticeship. I tattooed on a customer on my first day but I believe that is only because i tattooed in prison for 3 years and the guy i am apprenticing under came thru the same recovery program I did when he got out. All in all, it's a huge blessing where I ended up. no doubt about that. just stick with it and you'll get there. And this guy is absolutely knowledgeable and helpful

[@alexchavez217]

Yah this guy is dope for helping us for free

[@mewho3409]

Hey u a tattooer now?

How do I get an apprenticeship?

[@untoldofficialyoutube8563]

I’ve been tattooing for 6 years now and I still use practice skins ✌🏼

[@torn_s3ptiim695]

Bro, almost noone gives this advoce online, most the tutorials on here are for intermediate and up, very few detailed videos for absolute beginners, love you and nathan for what yous are doing ❤ 🔥 🙏

[@Tattooing101]

Glad to have helped you! keep practicing and I wish you success

[@dreamworldmano]

Thank you very much for spending your time to teach these tips and guidance. I am learning a lot from you

[@Williamthetattooer]

Thanks for sharing Had no idea it took 3hrs to dry, no wonder my stencils kept smearing. Thanks again, I never stop learning.

[@OnePercenterBBNCBC]

Use a hairdryer. Dries in less than a minute

[@keniaxkenia9323]

Wow 3 hrs ???

[@mateoavina8708]

@@keniaxkenia9323 no, the max is usually 10-20 minutes. Depends the time your artist is willing to chill, before they start the tattoo clock🤙🏼

[@hussie2899]

Me to I did stencil and straight tattooing and always smear off I have to after just cover up myself

[@ChrissHoops]

Help me out what do you use to like get the stencil printed on the fake skin

[@noahgonzalez5343]

I love the way you explain everything bro I appreciate all the knowledge fam

[@rickyentertainment9405]

I got my first kit it’s ok to use the same needles on the fake skin right of course not in people but just to mess around ? Soo I wouldn’t have to get new one or not do that ?

[@davidk4114]

I think Reel Skin is the most comparable to human skin. The only problem with Reel Skin that I've noticed is that once the stencil is dry and set it permanently stains the fake skin and you can see the "ghost" outline of the stencil in many places after tattooing the design.

[@JOKE485]

use bleach

[@adambartlomiejmiklaszewski1917]

You can try to let stencil a bit shorter, on Those skins I would let like 1-2h then remove it with vaseline , and you keep the light stencil for work which if you do it right away would erase itself during process of tattooing

[@elinsc2920]

You can try to leave wc bleach on reel skin ( or any other fake skin ) for few hours and it should totally disappear. It works for me.

[@untoldofficialyoutube8563]

Bro soak the final product in bleach it will come right off

[@Mike_E_DeShaman]

Whats reeal skin .. is that much different than this stuff .. pig skin is good .. but i wouldnt use that machine on any one after that and dont poke yourself while u in there

[@SuurAstra]

Thank you for all the good advice and tips, really! I'm just starting my path on tattooing, got my first machine and everything else i need and im learning how to use it all thanks to you! Big love from Estonia!

[@mohammadrasoulshafiee1949]

What happened after 1 year?

[@jeffreyandtytrack9200]

I was wondering wat u wipe down on the skin before putting on the stencil? And wats the best thing to use to wipe away access ink?

[@fee8660]

I believe it’s vaseline

[@dermadeepink1924]

Just wanna say thank U bro so much Hey, you guys are doing a good thing. Helping people instead of just letting them make mistakes, it's a serious business you are doing surgery on some one and you guys arm us with the knowledge. MUCH APPRECIATED boys. 💯🤝🍻🏅🏅

[@twistedink361]

Using a blow dryer (hair dryer) cuts down the stencil setting time greatly.

[@twistedink361]

@Mylfy Gamer high setting 5 minutes

[@aliciapettyjohn3096]

What else could you use to transfer beside the grain/green? gold that you are using?

[@jessicadrcorrado1978]

Great video picked up on a few really great tips. Manythanks hun 🙏💚⭐👊💯

[@michaelurban4802]

What is it Daniel? Green Gold stencil stuff? Where do we get it from?

[@LaloLPGMER]

Im on a roll with your videos I ordered a tattoo pen kit with fake skins and all it will be arriving in about 4 days, thanks for all the tips!

For your stencils do you use regular copy paper And trace over it with spirit paper

[@liamnerson257]

It looks like he uses a printer with spirit ink, rather than a thermal stencil printer

[@ItsRaitisLV]

He hand traced the first stencil

[@snipermonke822]

can i use vasaline or aquaphor instead of green gold. it looks about the same texture

[@Maria-nz5yf]

Love how you teach! Thanks for taking the time to create these videos - know they're a lot of work to put together 🙌

[@lemnem8438]

What kind of stencil paper do you use?

[@anhlexie]

I find it so hard to actually stretch the skin but I can probably guess it’s the type of fake skin that I got

[@MariaGomez-yl4hh]

Hi! Do you know if the brand Beoncall has good quality?

[@122allyson]

How long do i wait to start working on the stenciled fake skin?

[@Tattooing101]

You will want to wait 24 hours after placing the stencil to tattoo it so it can fully dry.

[@AustinFreeman-l6v]

When you tattoo on fake skin do you still sanitize everything just as you would if you was tattooing after you get finished as you would if your tattooing on a real person?

[@kyler8753]

this guy is making the gate keepers so mad. i love it 👌🏼 why tf would you keep people away from a industry? selfishness only

[@soul_vicex]

if you don't know the answer to that you probably shouldnt comment further

[@lilkrea]

Does anyone knows where I can buy ReelSkin product that actually ship to Canada? Pleaase. Ty

[@chrisconner5439]

Thanks man great stuff! -Any Tattoo artists from the Triangle in North Carolina- Or people looking for some new ink?

[@stephanieg8413]

how thick would you recommend the fake skin to be? Would it be better to get 3mm or 6mm?

[@FingersniffingGynaecologist]

Get the 3mm any thicker will just be expensive for nothing, 3mm is fine and you can use both sides, there’s a lot of bad ones around but the larger ones seem the most consistent.

[@takeiteasy2442]

Wd-40 is a great way of getting rid of smears

[@andrewmcginn3625]

I'm having trouble with " splatter" when I initially start each run after refilling needle , and yes I dab the tip on a tissue before I start

[@Tattooing101]

We made a video about this topic! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3mpaGVporiBibs

[@NatashaCarra]

Where do you Buy the 3mm Skins you use?? all i see is Amazon and Aliexpress on the internet

[@Tattooing101]

You can buy from Reelskin or Frankenskins. They're both good practice skins that I'd recommend

[@dmiran84]

I use a blow dryer to dry tje skin quick and works well

[@jacobgossiah36]

How do you do stencils

[@williamsanchez5191]

What size needles should I use learning to line?

[@liamnerson257]

Use them all. Practice lines with all liners and some round shaders as well. Pay attention to the voltage you'll need to use with the gauge and needle size. You usually need more voltage the more bigger the needle group, but you'll have to decide how much is good for you and how slow/fast you line.

[@danielaruxandra2338]

where can i find the sketches from the video?

[@irishdixie77]

Can you just freehand the design on fake skins? With sharpies to be exact? Thanks my man.

[@Tattooing101]

Yes you can do this

[@irishdixie77]

@@Tattooing101 appreciate the reply🤙

[@ArtAntiDe]

It even works with graphite pencils, just softly dab vasiline or similar stuff on top. I inked a small (10cm) practice design like this because I'm still waiting on my stencil delivery. Pencil comes off afterwards with a bit more vasiline rubbing. Probably not the best solution, but workable.

[@riorio3690]

Aye i just start tattoing on myself the pen i got is 200 dollars pen does it really make the difference with one that is 1000 dollars pen

[@kellywebster9501]

Wait, so Green Gold (glide) can be replaced with Vaseline? Is it relatively the same TYPE of product. I don’t have the Green stuff but I have Vaseline 😂 sorry I’m really new. Thanks for all the videos!

[@Tattooing101]

Essentially yes!

[@punkyguy96]

Do you recommend using distilled water when you tattoo humans?

[@VTwin4Christ]

Just print on inkjet... Roll paper on fake skin. Ours transfers great Use regular printing... Photo high res will not transfer. Even days later, u can roll ink onto fake skin from printout

[@MiareaRoseandNXONEOFFICIAL]

What kind of paper do you use to transfer with a inkjet? I was just looking into this

[@MiareaRoseandNXONEOFFICIAL]

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

[@FingersniffingGynaecologist]

@@MiareaRoseandNXONEOFFICIAL I have an ecotank printer that’s perfect but to use an inkjet it’s best to find one that’s easy to refill, I have a cheap hp inkjet that I’ve refilled a spare cartridge with stencil ink and that works great, there’s vids on here showing how to saw the top off a cartridge, clean it out and refill with the stencil ink, tbh your better off getting a cheap ecotank £140 and stencil ink £70.

[@Tattooing101]

I use green glide

So do you have to wait for the clients skin to dry for 3 hours or no?

[@piikuxd386]

You can use hairdryer

[@pakhfcbtg]

please tell me how to put white ink on fake skin because if I try it always turn gray and I want to put highlights so badly but don‘t know how when it always turns out gray I even tried different types of white ink 😢

[@arielfiorano]

Does fake skin, being harder than real skin, can damage the machine in the long term?

[@FingersniffingGynaecologist]

It won’t bother a decent machine with a good stroke but it does blunt needles quickly

[@aprilneal2484]

What side is the side you tattoo on though? My fake skins are very thin and they have a smooth side and a less smooth side

[@Tattooing101]

I'd recommend going for quality fake skins from brands such as ReelSkin, Frankenskins. Using cheap fake skins can be counter productive when trying to learn how to tattoo.

[@Danielovesrock247]

I didn’t have practice. But I tattooed my sister

[@hawkins8765]

Can you actually build light greys on the fake skin like you can on a person?

[@Tattooing101]

Yes you can you just have to remember that its always going to come out darker in the fake skins and the brand you get has a big deal with being able to as well. I use Reel Skins

[@Hollergirlohio]

What did do for fake skin to practice like neck tattoos or those odd and difficult but poplar places that wrap around that cannot compare to a flat fake skin.

[@lil.spooky.pumpkin]

You could roll up some cardboard and lay your skin across it, just need to keep it stable

[@machietheapachie7214]

My fake skin (reel skin) won't take stippling. Gotta go over and over which is bad practice cos no skin is gonna take that abuse. Im using a cnc q2 at 4mm stroke and 5v. Any idea?

It’s not the equipment you’re using. Bit of those are than capable of stippling. Practice is the key
