Borrowed Particles what ink did you use?

[@adabujiki]

hey would you please tell me what you think would happen to a sea green or light green tattoo if you try to cover it up with a light brown.... i'll subscribe :)

[@KaydenDiGiovanni]

daniel Aj It will be somewhere between a lighter brown and an olive green. If it’s on the green side, just do a second session with a slightly darker brown.

[@adabujiki]

[@silviucretu8677]

That primary yellow that you talk about is bright orange. 🧡

[@mikaelbrandt8460]

This was the most efficient video on ink mixing I've seen. Great job! Would love to se a picture version of this, kinda like a colour scheme with the different amount of drops going in the the different caps just to get a nice and clear overview.

[@ItsJustGravy]

This is the only video anyone would ever need. Thank you for this. I've been doing black and white and want to get into color. This inspired me to take on the task ❤

[@taylorclayton4616]

Thank you for being the one video that shows me how to make lighter purple! 🙏🏼🥳💯

[@matanlalo123]

I don’t know if it’s just me but I see the “yellow” as orange.....

[@KaydenDiGiovanni]

Matan Lalo Yeah, their yellow is slightly orange. Not like a canary yellow.

[@woohuihui7125]

[@johnboy5902]

[@lockstarkingding]

I appreciate this videos I learned so much. I see how to make colors lighter, but what if I wanna get darker shades of the color ? I don't always like doing a black undertone then putting the color over it because it looks muddy so I wanna know how to make the color darker

[@untoldofficialyoutube8563]

Excellent video ! My only advice is turn the tv off in the background for maximum focus

[@Camate-ol5vz]

Thank you Mr. this was really mesmerizing and informative at the same time 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@neilbtattoo7402]

that yellow is like a sunflower yellow of an eternal ink brand thats a nice for mixxing collors and cannary yellow too that is dark of a yellow i gues that is primary color of a yellow

[@BOATINDOCTOR]

That's a good system full color spectrum, thanks

[@TheShape.]

Blue and pink make purple.. So if i tattoo a bright blue over pink will it change to purple?

[@KaydenDiGiovanni]

Michael Myers 2 answers. Not necessarily. And maybe a little bit. Generally when putting a darker pigment over a lighter one, the darker will prevail. But under close examination, it would probably be more purple than it would have been naturally. The opposite is more true... if you tattooed an area bright blue, and then blended a layer of pink on top of it, it would be much more purple. But as a rule, if you are shooting for purple, mix the right color in your cap. These colors blending in the skin are good to consider when doing a cover up though. Trying to cover a pink tattoo with blue, you will end up with a pretty blue tattoo. Trying to cover a blue tattoo with pink, you would end up with a pretty purple tattoo.

Man I've been mixing colors with the needle loop too lol anyways thanks for the vid! 👍

[@s.z.z.5921]

Thanks sir,it helped me so much..:) Keep going on with your clips.

[@KaydenDiGiovanni]

S.Z. Z. Thank you! I’m glad that it helped!

[@s.z.z.5921]

Would you please tell me something about teqnike? Is it possible for you in a few word to say the difference between shading(b&g) and colour work? I'm tattooing only in b&g at the moment..flicking and brushing is my style..never worked with circular motions..is it a must have to work in cicular motions? Is it better to ride the tube for accurate colour packing?what do you think? Thankfull greetings from berlin,sir :)

[@s.z.z.5921]

I also looked at your rose tattoo video..i think i can work the same like my b&g style with colours.. I'm layering my values i b&g like you do it with colour.. Maybe i have to run faster because of the thicker inks.. ?

[@KaydenDiGiovanni]

S.Z. Z. The big difference is the skin showing though on a B&G piece, means that your shading has to be super smooth. So I actually slow down a lot for black and gray. Both to slowly concentrate on every value, but also to not have the skin turn super red. If you tattoo with opaque grays, then there is no difference at all in technique from a color tattoo. Slow down, add a few drops of white to your gray wash caps, use bug pin mags, and a machine with a short stroke, and you should have smooth black and gray if you are careful and consider every hand movement.

[@s.z.z.5921]

Ok thanks you very much..that will help me a lot,i will give it a try. I also repeat your colour theory for practising,that saves me a lot of money ;) I'm always looking for different ways to archieve my goals..i think most of the tattoo artist fuck up the skin very badly with their circular deep motions,thats why i stayed away from colour work at the beginning.. But layering like you said is exactly my drawing style with coloured pencils i will practise it. :)

Would a good name for the yellowey/white green be either: venom/snake venom, acid green, or day glow yellow?

[@keykey1401]

[@IndoShawty1]

This is really helpful, how do you make the color dark red?

[@KaydenDiGiovanni]

sheila manoe There are 2 ways, depending on the look that you are going for. Add a tiny bit of dark green, or a really tiny amount of black to your red.

[@IndoShawty1]

[@dreamdiarytv2399]

Arent u supposed to mix ur primary w secondary to accomplish tertiary colors? Red with orange to create the red-orange for example

[@KaydenDiGiovanni]

DreamDiaryTV Thats am easy way to teach color mixing. And an easy way to think about it at first. But once you understand it, then that process is wasting time. It’s a learning method. For example. You want to make Red Orange. Let’s pretend it’s 1 drop of red to 10 drops of yellow to get orange. Then you add a half drop of red to the orange to make Red Orange. So once you understand that, you would just add 1.5 drops to the 10 drops of yellow.

[@dreamdiarytv2399]

Borrowed Particles oh, excellent ok thx 😁 u get some great colors in ur vid, its my fave on color mixing ive found

Hello Mr! First of all, thanks a lot for this video, it’s been very useful! I want to buy my first tattoo inks and do my own mixings, but I can’t find this brand. I’ve been thinking on buying Intenze inks but I’m not sure about wich colors to choose. Could you help me with this? I’d be sooo grateful 🥺 I’m between: Bright Red, Lemon Yellow and Mario’s Blue... OR... Ruby Red, Golden Yellow, Royal blue Wichs one would you chose? For white I’ll go with Dynamic White. Thanks in advance! Hope this helps somebody else! Thank you!
