[@ThePatriotParadox]

So honestly did your cnc Q2 take any mags... or which ones did it work well with?

[@UmSureWhatever]

Whoa. That technique where you are using your finger and your thumb for depth control is a game changer. I cannot thank you enough for being so precise and articulate about every step you're taking. You're a natural teacher..

[@VicenteRodriguez-rk9vs]

I saw that too

[@andrespotgieter4213]

I could not have said te better myself. This technique will help me to be more confident and inspired, 'IMPULSED!' actually.

[@emmy16661]

You’re the only person who I’ve seen who can accurately describe how to find the proper depth. Nice explanation, very helpful👍🏻

[@AbyssWatch3r]

agree, also hi 😊

[@nickmyers9300]

FOR REAL!!!!!!! I was just about to comment this and the trick with the tip of the middle finger has brought my line game to a whole new level.. my conference in lining and shading is where it is only because of this channel

[@BatDance666]

@Levi James artist Congrats, just starting to get back into in myself, not sure where I want to get with it besides working on myself but I'm finding the whole process very relaxing

[@userenvy]

Yes.. everyone says "its personal preference" .. cool. I been doing it a min and i get that but can some more people tell their preferences like this video? I mean, we are all at the place where we get that we might not do it exactly the same but a foundation to work with is super helpful so thanks for ur common sense.

[@userenvy]

@@nickmyers9300 thats what i said. I basically do it all the same with the ink and hanging needle but the finger was a light bulb moment. Thats some stable stuff right there! A tripod is always the best.. like duh. Why haven't i been doing this!!! ...its Because other videos arent really give anything to work off of except a few pointers

[@shanekamen6897]

Bro I use your technique with your index behind the cartridge and it's helped so much with my consistency and needle depth throughout my apprenticeship. Thank you love all your content and just keep going man I'm a big fan of your work and it's amazing work at that.!!!

[@BatDance666]

Seriously the first time I've seen someone do this

[@priamlhabitant4875]

He uses his middle finger under the cartridge, not the index !

[@jamesmichael9341]

Yeah, middle finger right behind the cartridge, not the index. It works well, it does worry me to have my finger this close to the needle though. I may be overthinking it though.

[@kolbyxg]

I bought a machine to do some stuff on myself, and this really helped haha. Gliding on the middle finger is genius. Thanks man! So much easier, much smoother. Have a good one!

[@MRFLIP]

I could sit in this guy's shop getting tattooed for 24hrs with out a break as long as he talks. His voice is clear and instructions are amazing. I love to learn

[@joshblack1513]

You know what I watch a lot of these how to tattoo videos and the people trying to explain how to do it just get to over technical. This video was to the point and not a waste of my time. Camera work is a lot better than most videos on KZbin. Keep up the good work

[@gypsyjuice]

Nice video, the finger drag is something I was never able to make work personally, but that leverage is so key to maintaining depth consistency. I like seeing this technique even though I have a different method to leverage the depth using the side of my hand & fist. Another major factor for me is if the cartridges fit well in the machine. Some brands just don't fit well in my machine causing wobbling and excessive vibration which obviously makes one pass more challenging. Surprisingly, I don't find Big Wasp to be too bad even though it's one of the much cheaper brands. My fav affordable cartridge brand is Stigma for sure.. Thanks for taking the time to share this knowledge, you're awesome

[@shinobi3337]

Love your stuff bro, no bs, no over the top antidotes suggested by youtube to catch people's attention. Just to the point informal knowledge. Keep it up my brother much love

[@kristinakiselakova7663]

Daniel, thanks for your lessons, my tattooing imroved a lot just because of you

[@marani197032]

Daniel thank you so much for this video! The simplicity of the use of your middle finger in position behind the tube has made all the difference for me, literally a breakthrough! I have been watching a lot of videos from a lot of artists and have not had much success. I’m not a young kid in my 20s I’m in my 50s and I was getting quite frustrated and was about to give up thinking maybe I’m just too old to do this, I’ve been through numerous practice skins and all kinds of fruit but didn’t have the confidence to actually start on real human skin. But today I said fuck it! and went ahead and did something simple on my thigh. You videos are humble and eloquent that make perfect sense...thank you again!

[@coufree7828]

How did it go? Is it healing okay?

[@CommonCentrist82]

I'm not a tattoo artist, I know nothing about this art. That being said, I feel like I can hear a good cadence from your machine when you're moving it at the right speed and voltage. It sounds much different when you're going to fast or slow. Do you use auditory cues as a guide, or is it mostly just the general feel of everything? On a side note, when I was in high school, a dude in my class was an amazing artist. He told us back then (over 20 years ago; late 90s) that he was going to be a tattoo artist. We didn't think much of it, and I definitely didn't think it was really going to turn into a legitimate career for him. Again this was over 20 years ago and tattooing wasn't as socially acceptable. Fast forward to today, and that same dude is doing amazing. He's one of the most successful people in our graduating class. He has his own shop, and travels all over the place to do conventions. This is a great business to get into if you are artistic. I bet a lot of our teachers would be very surprised to see that guy today... he's kicking ass.

[@deondeberry2090]

[@randysnewbiebluesrockguita7782]

Great video thanks for all the good lessons. one thing about this video is the audio. I am listening to it on my JBL's in my living room and I can hear a constant thumping like a heartbeat going through the whole video. Is this a microphone artifact? or was this meant to sound like that? I am hyper sensitive to these kind of little back ground noises and it's making it hard for me to finish the lesson. Other than my complaint that is very minor and probably only effects ME your videos are great, I subscribed. I used to tattoo back in the day with the old acetate stencils it's been over 40 years and I just got back into the idea of tattooing again but I am working on fake skin to get back into doing them with a coil machine I've had for years and boy was I out of whack. I don't plan on touching anyone with a needle until I am back to my former glory of doing great traditional style tattooing. I just ordered a Mast tattoo pen and it wasn't really expensive around 300.00 but I am wondering if I should actually use this machine on anyone after I start doing them again or should I go for a more expensive better name brand machine?

[@karipayne8235]

Thank you very much I never thought about size , speed , voltage

[@TnT_RoadShow]

Great video once again. Keep them coming. Thank you!

[@andyhowden7655]

Thing is... This all changes with skin because of the many skin types and areas on the body skin differs also. Like the upper leg. Very fleshy then as you move towards the knee the skin is totally different

[@ashenclips5264]

Quick question. Wouldn’t the stencil smear off if you’re dragging your middle finger with the needle? And also I’m pretty comfortable doing vertical lines But having a hard time doing line horizontally. Any tips on that? (I try not to rotate my fake skin around, and think of it as an actual body part)

[@priamlhabitant4875]

Personally I turn around my client, when it’s possible, to pull the line to me ! I think it’s the more stable configuration to keep the right depth. I stand up sometimes, putting my elbows and forearms on the client / the table / the arm rest table when it’s possible too

[@Samacama1982]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge ✌🏻

[@cam9943]

Couldnt be me watching another "how to improve lines" video after already blasting my knee 🤣🤣 when they say the skin is different they mean it 🤣🤣

[@eddievenuto1862]

Yeah your hand speed has to match the voltage and you got to be on you got to be smooth you got to stretch the skin different things like that

[@supershenron9162]

Apparently the voltages i line with vs what I use to pack black and colors is backwards from most lol. In line with 8.1v but I pack with only 6.8v at most 7.5 (very rare) I also shade in that area. Most folks line at a lower power than the pack at. With some even having 1 consistent voltage throughout

[@jakewho2985]

[@johnnunn7141]

[@russellovia2914]

[@gabrieluc25]

Clear info, as always!! Thank you

[@TatouazInkSkin-ct6xx]

Hey Daniel- question about lining with round shader; when I work along with the video I seem to get a series of super thin lines within each line, like from each needle tip in the configuration. Also the slower I go the more damage or cutting happens on the fake skin. Suggestions? What stroke do you suggest using on the fake skin. It seems that its either too light (always having to go back over them) or too deep (cutting the skin)

[@blebleh666]

Is it ok to move the tube left/right when lining? I thought it should go "straight" i mean the opened ring you have on tube to move above the line.?

[@ThePatriotParadox]

New to pens and cartridges, just ordered the CNC Q2 just to get basics and comfortable, been using coils and hummingbird rotary for years. Does the CNC take most cartridges!?? I seen yes and not so much?

Hey I’ve got one question. What do you do when you can’t pull a complete line and have to stop in the middle? Are you finding the dermis right on the point where you stopped before?

[@PsychedelicArchaea]

bump, i want to know too

[@sinkorswimcreativemedia8889]

Every piece of content I’ve consumed and person I have talked to has told me to overlap them slightly in order to help you stay on one consistent path through the entirety of the line.

[@MrCjbjcb]

i tend to taper out and then slightly come back on that last line and taper bk in to the depth

[@mluiso23]

Great video and explanation

[@crybaby4171]

Is it important to hold the machine at a certain ankle? Does it negatively influence the healed result if you hold it wrong or does it not matter?

[@jasoncoughlin4424]

Do you prefer to use those blue shop rags for wiping the skin, or classic paper towels? i have to use paper towels a tonne, and it's just alot of waste sometimes.

[@DanielYuck]

Thats a great question! When it comes to fake skin I will use scott shop wipes all day but when it comes to human skin I will only use MDWipeOutz tattoo wipes. I prefer to use MDWipeOutz for human skin as it is a sterile dedicated tattoo wipe and is designed for tattooing. I like to get my wipes and cut them in half making them into little squares to get more wipes from a sheet. I will link you below to the wipes I use on my end.

I thought the machine was supposed to face the direction you're pulling? His is completely sideways and not facing the direction. Any one know?

[@almamarisoul]

With as strongly as you’re holding in the line and pulling do you experience color blow out during the healing process?

[@isabellallamasdelosreyes7237]

But putting the index finger like that wouldn't make the needle enter oblique?

[@DanielYuck]

Thats a good one! I am uncertain how it would work for others but from my experience building up my muscle memory and getting more comfortable with the tattooing process this method worked for me. I feel it would vary from artist to artist on how their needle would enter the skin. Some artist have a particular hold and grip on their machine which makes when perform and posterize a specific way. I think if this is something we are just trying out for the first time and unfamiliar with how we need and hold our needle for the line at hand we may end up with inconsistent results. Im certain technical expertise also plays a huge part as well.
