I was taught that 10's were bugpins and 8's "extra tight" in my apprenticeship. I personally prefer bugpin liners and curved mags for black and grey realism, medium taper curved mags for color work.

[@ThatTattooShow]

Ahhh thats where me and Paul got confused cause I used to use the 00 needles or the ones a step down from the standard and they were 10 gauge, it was about 8-9 years ago mind lol. I used to use bugpin liners but not so much these days

[@Yougot6dollarsbro7]

@@ThatTattooShow what kind do you use to line nowadays?

Love a 15 long taper mag I use that and 3rl bugpin and I swear I'm good to go I can do a portrait my mentor would do a whole portrait with just a 15mag he'd turn it on its side and do the hair and eye details and I've also seen him do a color portrait with just a 3rl aswell it blows my mind I'm not at that level but I still have my needle jig I remember sawdering needles and when I discovered a hallow liners I thought I found the best bold lining needle lmao I thought I was doing next level shit

It comes in pints and Gandalf all the lotr references hahah I’m a Tolkien book reader love it more Tolkien references in future vids 👌👌

[@ThatTattooShow]

Oh cool!

[@bd1zzle]

Wish I could show my tattoo I just got, day 1 fresh, Frankenstein all black portrait underneath on my wrist. Going back got the bolts, shocks, some cloud/mist as background and I for sure want color now the more I look at it. Some green brown mix looking zombie color. But I’m from the US and this tattoo was the one with the most needles on any on my body was this one for the hair and eye area…being 18 that hurt. And the single near the middle of my wrist but I knew to stay still and that was going to be a rough spot. Love it all and there boss was on the show on Spike TV called Ink Masters. It’s about the artist then the off time drama and he didn’t want that just the tattooing and walked off. Great shop and can’t believe how calm everyone was

[@Iyengaryogawithshaun]

Thank you ❤

[@ThatTattooShow]

You're welcome 😊

[@aintyourleo]

When would you use an eight gauge needle? - You wouldn’t. hahah fuckin’ legend!

[@maikeru1801]

Very informative !

Glad you think so!

What result we get by shading with BUGPIN magnum needle. What result we get while we shading with .30 magnum needle & what result we get by shading with .35 magnum needle.

[@machietheapachie7214]

How do tapers effect line work? There's a lad on instagram who makes beautiful lines and says the long taper is best to get the ink into the skin effortlessly. Makes sense? You boys are nailin the banter btw 🤣

[@ThatTattooShow]

It really depends on the artists preference / technique / style

[@machietheapachie7214]

@@ThatTattooShow yeah but a hammer's still a hammer, no? 😉 The long taper will generally behave a certain way whereby it makes smaller punctures (and a slower ink flow, perhaps?). No worries sure, thanks for gettin back

[@TheyWantMeDead2005]

very helpful video. Thanks

[@joephillips790]

Nice one gents! Loved this and passed it on to my apprentice 🙏 You reckon anybody would be keen on half curved mags? Would love to have the blend ability of curveds with the right hand edge straight for cutting in 🔥

[@ThatTattooShow]

Thanks man, ahh ive often thought about this during my career, but then I think wouldn’t you need to have left and right handed needless?

[@luususa6331]

You guys are hilarious! 🤣

[@ThatTattooShow]

Thanks 🤘🤘

[@techne9992]

Tapers were a big game changer for me. Lol I’m with the long hair guy, at the moment. Straight mags and med tapers. ;)

[@RIOBRAW]

How do you feel it changed your work as far as black packing & color packing? I just bought some MT by kwadron & I’m gonna be using the bishop packer with them

[@techne9992]

@@RIOBRAWthat’s actually my combo. I use the shader and packer. Bugpins for smooth black and grey with shader. Smaller dots, more passes. When I’m just packing color. Mt with packer, bigger dots , but less passes.

[@techne9992]

@@RIOBRAWthink of tapers like a person jumping on a trampoline and busting through it. If the person does like a pencil or dive like in a pool. They slip through the trampoline, where as a medium taper is like doing a cannonball through the trampoline. When it rips , it’s a bigger rip.

[@techne9992]

@@RIOBRAWalso , think of when your saturating an area. You’re trying to put as many dots as possible close together. But to many passes with big dots, they start to hit each other and the skin loses its integrity. Think like at a fair. When you have to shoot the star out of a piece of paper with pellets. Evenly spaced holes in the paper and it stays together. More holes, where some touch, big chunks of paper start to fall apart

[@techne9992]

@@RIOBRAWbe careful with the packer and mt. 6.5 volts. It’s not something to try to shade with. It’s to harsh a combo. You can’t do multiple passes. If you’re packing. 1 nice pass is ideal, 2 it ok, 3 your pushing it. I do mostly smooth black and grey with the shader, Lt curve mag 10s. I only uses the packer and straight mag 12 mt to pack color. And when I do, there is a level of caution during it

[@musahawkins8765]

I'm from the US and I feel like we changed shit that didn't need fixing like we got our independence and said ya well measuring this way has worked for so long but let's just do our own thing lol metric makes so much more sense

[@cobanecurry7767]

Thanks yah old farts ❤️

[@ThatTattooShow]

Don’t worry kid, you’ll get here! 🙏👍

[@KevinSmith-gu8xm]

Good video lads 👍 when using straight mags though I feel like they cause more trauma to the skin than curved mags, the tattoo seems to stay red for days. Is this common?

[@apfelninja]

Are the needle sizes standardized across brands? Paintbrushes aren't. Like if you take a Royal and Langenickel Round 4 and compare it to a Raphael Round 4, they are definitely not the same size brush. I was wondering if it's the same with the tattoo needles.

[@Infinitesyndicate.]

Haha, “go on, carry on”

[@MrRyzykancik]

For solid black lines better to Use like 7RL 0.25 or 0.30 or maybe 0.35 ? Im confused

[@ThatTattooShow]

All gauges will deliver solid black lines but each gauge will be slightly thicker. So for BOLD, solid lines 7RL .35. But for FINE solid lines 7RL .25. Make sense? p

I bought big needles for blackout but bought by mistake some 39flat instead of 39M1, do you think it could work or is it useless to pack black?

[@ThatTattooShow]

Flat as in only one row? If yes then I wouldn’t recommend them for blacking out. Honestly never used flats in my career (chris)

[@ro-ke6ct]

You can do it but you will have to go mach slower to not injur the skin

[@YumixNightmare]

Americans like to be unique 🤣 (PS, I am American haha) I know, the measuring thing is just weird.

British accent for non native speakers :( … but thank you

[@ThatTattooShow]

Not sure what you mean there but If you are Welsh it’s a Welsh accent, English is an English accent and Scottish is a Scottish accent. There’s literally no such thing as a “British accent” :)
