Got a piece 2 weeks ago and some of the pink in the color didn't get good saturation. I asked the artists if we could just do a darker color over it. Making my appointment tomorrow but he also said he guarantees his work and its free. Edit the piece was fixed yesterday came out great and the artist owned it. He said he tried going too light with the color tone and it just didn't stick.

So glad to have another video! Always learning from you! 👌🏼 I want you’re opinion on something. I got my sleeve done last year, and my artist was a guest artist. Loved the outcome of the sleeve but there’s a part in the sleeve where he had to work around another piece from another artist (the tiger if you go and watch my videos) I feel the blending of the two tattoos from the tiger to the acropolis doesn’t blend nicely and it does bother me abit. Since he’s not going to be back for awhile do I go to the shop that I originally got it at and talk with them about a touch up or wait until he comes back and have him touch his own work up again. (I don’t mind paying if I have to because it’s been over a year) Thank you and hope you’re able to shed some light and your professional opinion 🙏🏼👊🏼

@JamesWithee 4 жыл бұрын
That’s a unique situation with no definitively correct answer. If I were u I’d just go with your most regularly visited artist and ask them to blend the tattoos together. They’re more likely to do it for u even if it’s not their original doing since you’ve already collected from them multiple times (if u do indeed have someone like this that u can ask). And it’s convenient for u cuz u don’t have to wait for the other artist to come back. Maybe contact the artist that guest spotted first though and ask them if they’ll be back soon that way you at least give them the chance to do it for u if possible

Oh you're back! I always enjoy your content :) I can't imagine not wanting to do a free touch-up. I finished a six-session full colour sleeve last winter and after the 5th session, a small but very central part of the piece healed completely wrong (basically the eye of a monster, the first thing your eye is drawn to on my shoulder if I'm wearing a sleeveless shirt, made it look blind instead of a glowing neon blue iris on a dark black cornea, looked like complete ass). I usually heal very well and don't fuck around with new tattoos, so this was a surprise. He fixed it during our last session and it healed just fine on the second try, but had it gotten fucked on the last session and he charged me to fix it... idk man, I probably would have paid anyway because I don't want a shitty-looking tattoo, but I would really question his pride in his work if he was perfectly content with me running around with an obviously fucked up tattoo. I wouldn't want my name attached to something like that and since so many artist recs are word of mouth, well... he'd be ruining his own reputation IMO. I've already had multiple strangers admire the sleeve and ask who did it and this is only its first summer. The artists you talk about at 03:26 sound like arrogant assholes tbh. Blaming the client for something that didn't heal 100% flawlessly... it's skin, not paper, you can follow instructions perfectly and still get a heal that needs a small fix. That's a really good way to encourage your clients to not recommend you to anyone.

I'm still a beginner so I know during my healing time, I did cause a few minor scratches. The tattoo is on my right wrist so I'm constantly coming in contact with the area.

I also don’t like not being charged or paying for work as who does not want to be paid for their work it’s only fair. Hope you and the family are staying safe and look forward to more videos. Don’t find guys who are so honest when it comes to their work. I am very lucky I have a great and honest artist who when ever I see him he checks on his previous work and has done a touch up on one pieces he was not completely happy with otherwise all good.

@JamesWithee
@JamesWithee 4 жыл бұрын
It’s prolly cuz your skin produces melanin to bring itself back to its normal tone to protect against uv rays. Happens on ppl with tan skin or white ppl that get in the sun a lot soon after the heal. U can go over the white again but the same thing may happen. Hard to say

Perfect timing with this video! Do you think it's a good idea to ask your artist to do a touch-up (doesn't matter if it ends up being free or not) when you are already there getting another tattoo from them? I figured it would save breaking down and setting up again down the line, but I was curious is there is something I'm not thinking about that would make it tedious for them. I'm getting my 2nd piece next month but the first one has a tiny spot that didn't take the color and I would love to kill two birds with one stone.
@JamesWithee
@JamesWithee 4 жыл бұрын
That’s actually my favorite time for clients to ask for a touch up. Like u said I already have all my stuff ready and don’t have to spend money on another setup or schedule a separate appointment. The only exception to that is if the touch up will take a decent amount of time and we’re doing a one shot tattoo that is going to take all day already. If that’s the case I schedule a separate time rather than touching up one tattoo and failing to finish the new one. Still stands that that’s the best time to bring it up though

Good to see you again James. I have a question regarding touch ups. How picky can a client be without pissing off the tattooer? I went in to have my second sleeve finished (or was supposed to be anyways) by the same artist a few weeks ago, but there's about 5 spots that I'd like to get filled in a bit more/darkened up cause they just don't look right after the heal. The last session was already a bit of a touch up one, along with finishing off the top of the shoulder. So he only charged me for the few hours he worked on the shoulder. Would I be asking too much by wanting another touch up session? Defiantly not satisfied by how it's looking right now, but at the same time don't wanna be the client who's super picky and a pain in the ass. I did tip the guy pretty good on both sleeves
@JamesWithee
@JamesWithee 4 жыл бұрын
It kinda depends on the circumstance. If you’ve already done a touch up session, there’s a good chance you’re artist already thinks your tattoo is as good as they can possibly make it. As long as you’re polite when u ask and the things you are talking about will actually help the piece, you’ll be fine. Just be prepared to pay if you’re artist decides it isn’t really a touch up, but another pass that enhances rather than restores

@JamesWithee
@JamesWithee 4 жыл бұрын
Personally I prefer grey wash, by far. A lot of great color artists do opaque black and white tattoos from time to time, but I suspect it’s simply because they’re more comfortable with the method of application as it’s the same as color. I do a lot of color and a lot of black and grey though, and while it might be fun to do opaques I’d rather just use grey wash cuz it ages better, isn’t as susceptible to adverse effects from sun exposure, and works on more skin types. Opaques are better for cover ups though for sure

I charge full price for fingers, hands, ellbows, palms and feet. Most times the clients decide not to get the tattoo on those areas because of this

I just got a tattoo last week and I work outside working with propane cylinders in the heat of Texas. The first day felt like it was horrible since I was sweating so bad, but a week later I think I can say that’s starting it’s coming along nicely.

If u wanna be really safe, a week so it is finished peeling and sweat / bacteria from attics and ladders don’t ruin the heal. I’d say minimum 2 or 3 days though so the wound is at least sealed with scabs. Wear loose fitting clothing that covers the tattoo and try to take it easy if u gotta work though. Just be the guy that drags ass for a few days as long as it won’t get u fired

It’s all quoted on a case by case basis. Usually the artist estimates how long it will take them and charge hourly

Might be off-topic hope u don't mind: Just wants to ask for your own thoughts on a session i did with another artist (no names here) , since all your videos, I think your opinions are pretty fair. Drove 2 hours from LA to SD, worth, since i love his work, was informed he charges $150 / hr, or, (about $700) for 2 cats portraits (3" x 3"). Get there, end up we agreed on doing just one as he said the other cat he wants more time on the design, cool, as he will be in LA soon, finished the first cat, 3 hrs passed included breaks here and there + drawing out the design in the beginning, the first cat's done, he asked if I wanna get another small flash of his for what we agreed w/ 2 cats, $700, wasn't thinking much so we did, flash took 30 mins, had him kept the $40 deposit as a tip, left nicely. Understood it's my responsibility for agreeing before starting the 2nd flash, just that afterward I feel like its kinda tricky for the whole session. It went from $700 for 2 cat portraits => one cat + a flash that takes 30 mins and because he wants more time on the design even we had talked about the design in DMs before me making the drive. long story short, here's the question, do most of the time 'drawing out designs', breaks etc are normally included in a hourly charged session? Ended up getting other ones from other stores, artist have me wait in a lil wait area before going in, for them to draw out the design before starting, quote before the session, getting a price range ($250-280, ended up 280 which is totally cool with $50 tip) love how it's straight forward, simple. love the art, price ok, lets do it, good time, done. Last, just wants to get your opinion in this if possible. "is it tricky, or am just being a lil b... be honest please, i can take it haha. Btw loves your videos, and all the tattoo advices.

It’s hard to say what’s right and wrong here. Maybe the artist should’ve prepared more ahead of time and didn’t realize that until it was too late and delayed the second cat cuz they wanted to do their best on it. Maybe they sold u on the flash to try to make your trip worthwhile. As far as the hourly, some artists charge for the whole process, most only charge for tattooing. Hope that helps

Who WANTS to get a touch up? When it’s necessary sure, but I would never neglect my heal bc a touch up is possible. Why put your body through two heal processes when you can just take care of it the first time? Honest question

@JamesWithee 4 жыл бұрын
I dunno. I’ve noticed that when I mention that there is a free touch up included ppl have a higher frequency of bad heals. Knowing that there is a safety net makes ppl tread less carefully
