How to DESIGN a TATTOO from start to finish using PROCREATE!

[@lauramartin1902]

Very in depth tutorial. I love how you go through all the basics in a super detailed way!

[@athomastattoo]

thanks for the support, there's a few more procreate tutorials on the channel now, be sure to check them out.

[@marthachopko6339]

This is by far the best and most complete tutorial I have come across. Thank you so much! It’s going to be so helpful.

[@athomastattoo]

Glad it was helpful!

15 seconds in already subbed/liked saying to myself, "oh yeah, I already like this guy, he knows what he's doing"

[@jeremiahsykes1935]

15 seconds in he just finished a water bottle

[@SipplioChannel]

It was 10 seconds for me

[@josephmiracle8133]

I had the same response 😂 🤣 😅

[@deejustd3285]

Same. The wiping his mouth off with his elbows did it. 😂

[@reemara]

This video is unvaluable, thank you sooooo much.. I really haven't seen anyone before, who could explain things the way you do.. You're an expert, and you know very well what you're doing..

[@whiterhyno3574]

I've designed a few tattoos and starting to focus on that for my channel with no programs only simple picture references but still using layer techniques. I admire artists such as yourself. Awesome demonstration bro.

[@athomastattoo]

thanks for the support buddy.

[@Blick03]

Where can I get the stuff to make my own tatts I have the app but can’t find nothing

[@Myles2000]

Thanks for all this information. I’ve had my iPad and Apple Pencil for a while now and mainly got it to use procreate but I’m not that good with it. This is a big help as I want to use it to make my tattoo designs. The video itself is also nice and professional, nice job man!

[@wolfsmith1374]

Yea I agree with all the positive comments. As someone who is not only fairly new to tattooing, but the procreate software as well, I found this video extremely helpful and very informative.

[@athomastattoo]

Thanks for the support and watching my videos 🤘🏻

[@starrtattoosupplies]

Certainly hydrated for the Procreate design! Another good and informative video that a lot of apprentices or new-comers to procreate would really really find useful!!! Great work!

[@athomastattoo]

Thanks for the nice feedback guys. 🤘🏻

[@landeribiza]

@@athomastattoo Excuse me, which is better 11" or 12.9"? 🙏

[@lenyu3011]

how about autodesk sketchbook in ipad? it is also good :)

[@blacksheepthe2nd648]

Just wanted to comment on your method of delivering your tutorial, Ive seen many tutorials online and your's fits of the few i will remember. An exceptional level of explanation with reasons but also not overly detailed where the viewer will get lost. To put it simply, if you ever given up being a tattoo artist, instructional tutorials is what you should be doing. Very very well done, Sir.

[@rochellehamilton2057]

im not a tattoo artist but this helped ma alot to create my kennel logo love how in depth and detailed this was.

[@jackstubbings4473]

Unbelievable tutorial! Really well executed 👏🏼

[@Zazi-oj6zj]

From just watching this I've reached my goal of getting what i needed to know for setting up my designs thank you so much!!!

[@1dozmos]

Great tutorial - I was amazed at the difference it made when you added the highlights to the eyes in this piece.

[@inverseperception3039]

Nothing makes me more interested to watch a video than seeing someone pay too much for water.

[@zoey4296]

This is facts immediate distrust

[@herycorrea89]

😂😂😂😅

[@ALCRAN2010]

Maybe it was a refill. Lol

[@Mike_E_DeShaman]

Gotta pay extra for them to take the poison out

[@Mike_E_DeShaman]

Plus i dont want any advice from a broke struggling tattoo artist so for me thats a good sign .. to each their own though

[@samsoji3038]

This was the best tutorial video ever I have seen all over the social media, very clear and well explained, I hope you gain millions of pounds because of this video because you really deserve it mate, thanks

[@ashley5295]

This was a big help, starting to tattoo myself and I’ve been the only one really teaching myself. Just bought everything so I could download this app to help with the tattooing process.

[@dr3ww._]

Where do you get the templates for the tattoos??

[@chrisdecourcy2811]

Absolutely fantastic and helpful video. Thank you so much

[@InsightImagingPhoto]

Well produced video. Looking at designing my own tattoo, and was planning using procreate so this was perfect. New subscriber here

[@willgee8683]

Hey bro love it. Some great stuff in there. Thanks for sharing the link to the roses pack man. Means a lot 🙏🏻 you’re a gent!

[@athomastattoo]

No problem man. It’s made my life so much easier, best thing I use for reference. Need to get some more made ;)

[@richesparza2243]

You got it broski

[@ciaranxmaggot]

"in essence" loved the video dude, big help!

[@athomastattoo]

Haha. I know! So annoying when I latch onto a word and keep using it. Cheers for the support bro 🤘🏻

[@miatrampel3777]

“Downs a whole water bottle” Weird flex but ok...?

[@xxchainzxx6187]

He had to keep cutting it as well lmao

[@worldwiderodbuildersworldw6347]

Weird is good sometimes,downing the water was just an ice breaker intro to the video,skilful imo.

[@caden5134]

plot twist. it was actually vodka

[@swagon4545]

Looks like Russia Knocking down a bottle of Vod.... 🤔

[@stevie-green]

Brilliant demonstration

[@jamief.8406]

Good looking, smart, and very talented

[@JamieField-n1f]

Legend mate sick video will definitely help me with my tattooing 👍

[@BaptismByFire35]

Adam this video is awesome. I learned a lot. Can you make a video of how you would actually turn this piece into a stencil or make it stencil ready to be printed out.

[@danhughes3295]

Thanks for all the great content, watching your videos has taught me a lot. I was wondering whether you could explain in more detail about how to design a sleeve whether it’s an arm, a leg or whatever. How you approach designing one cohesive piece on a flat service such as the iPad or paper, so that you can ensure the aesthetics of the piece and how it wraps and ties in with itself... I hope that makes sense to you, it did in my head haha! Thanks for the great videos again. Much love bro ❤️

[@ember8740]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, it’s going to make this a whole lot easier :)

[@RamseyBates]

Thank you man this tutorial were very useful

[@tammyxiong2342]

As a new tattoo artist I purchased an iPad and procreate to help me create and design pieces for my clients. I either take my own photos or pull pictures from ig, Pinterest, etc. In the beginning of the video I noticed how you pick and pulled the rose and leaves into the layers and laid em out onto the scale without any square background or surrounding covering the portrait.. My question is, how did you get pictures thrown in without a square background or the extra surroundings. Is there another step or trick that procreate can help with that? Is there another editing program involved, or was it purchased elsewhere designed for tattoos?

[@Josh-lo4ev]

So not a tattooer but more of a digital artist here. You're going to want to find images with transparent backgrounds. A common file type for such images are PNGs thought it may not always be the case. You can also cutout backgrounds with a picture editing software such as Photoshop and save without the background

[@vinnie357]

this video was very helpful. thank you for making this.

[@rav_666_]

Thank you sooo much for this tutorial! This was so easy to understand and fun to follow along to and got me really excited to create my own designs :) Can you please do more of these? Maybe one where you add in drawn details and how to go about that or how these pieces come to life when you actually tattoo them.

[@taylorroland8686]

This was phenomenal, I learned a lot by watching you work through this tattoo!

[@luispina317]

This was super helpful! Do most tattoo artist design a sketch before the client shows up or is it done on the actual appointment date?

[@jasonarce2091]

New sub here thanks for the tutorial very clear and helpful

[@worldwiderodbuildersworldw6347]

I’ve took some positive things from this ,so a great explanation into the processes,thanks for making life a little easier bro!

[@athomastattoo]

Awesome buddy, glad it helped! 🤘🏻

[@worldwiderodbuildersworldw6347]

It did bro,I’ve been tattooing for years,I believe my work is solid,but I struggle with realism portraits ,particularly animals,tigers,lions and the likes,any tips for me bro,or can I pick your brains via email?

[@Enuhhm]

Great video thank you!!

[@athomastattoo]

Glad you liked it!

[@darin1214]

The thing I’m trying to figure out is, if you already have the design drawn up how do you get rid of the background to use on your template? Like for example the rose is just the rose no background

[@taylors5207]

Great tutorial, thanks for the tips on the app! Cheers

[@aalri1]

I really wanna start learn ing how to tattoo and this helps me out a lot

[@RitaThompson-k7l]

Great tutorial

[@sevaslee4865]

Bro straight to it 💯

[@justinkd]

Watching this and seeing a design come to be is so therapeutic. Also that hand tattoo is so dope! Couldn’t take my eyes off it 👌🏼🔥

[@athomastattoo]

Thank you so much!! appreciate the support

[@jennafrandsen9873]

Great idea with the forearm template!! I know you said the A4 was about the size of the forearm, chest or thigh. Do you have advice/hacks for sizing other areas such as fingers, shoulders, feet? Thanks man. Very, very nice piece😍

[@Harmonywithin808]

Where do you get your photos?? Do they have to have no copy right in order to use

[@funkinfaces]

Super helpful vidéo thanks much appreciated 🙏

[@Smallzii]

Love the way you drew everything from scratch to make it an original piece that no one else in the world would have.................... 😜

[@athomastattoo]

Well, I’m an black and grey realism artist. Pretty much how any realism artist works.

[@YG-xj5yx]

This is so cool cuz Im helping my friend design a tattoo. How did you do it so that the design only appears in the arm template?

[@athomastattoo]

I’ll be putting a video up soon with a tutorial about how to create body part templates.

[@Hellhamster]

You can use reference ,or a more destructive way : alphalock

[@amandanajdek9232]

Just using a few of these tips you shared i really leveled up a bunch of my designs. Thanks so much for the information!

[@athomastattoo]

Amazing. So glad I helped you out 🤘🏻

[@astalavistababy3768]

Loved it, thanks a lot, i now know how to use procreate

[@viva9591]

I can say you are an expert

[@beneflaco]

The A4 tip was great, but as someone who draws everything by hand. How you put that image together has me feeling insulated lol

[@Heartbeatzofficial]

Whatever gets the job done 🤷‍♀️

[@patriot2677]

Insulated? I am legit curious if that was what you meant to say? Lol

[@easymac2963]

Did he cut around the rose picture to get it on that white background before the video or does he just find images like that

I just love your content. Real good Information💯

[@athomastattoo]

Thanks buddy. Appreciate the support

[@D-Squared]

QuickTip if you hold your pen tip down on the colour it’ll bring up a target you can use that target to select a colour and copy that colour

[@athomastattoo]

bro I keep finding more and more things on procreate, its like a never ending box of tricks, every time I make a vid I'm like "I could of done that so much better" ill put the drag colour in the next tutorial though (Y)

Super cool. Learned a few procreate tips and I really dig your design process. Top notch.

@@athomastattoo mate please reply, i commented on another vid ages but no response. How do you change the colours of an image on procreate? Say for example turn your black and grey image into blue, red and green? I have a image that has to much solid black that i want to turn into grey but the saturation/curves does nothing to the black?

your jack sparrow tattoo though!! 😍 so sick

[@TheJoeyacoustic]

Unsure if you can do this in procreate but if you lower the bit depth of a photo to 3 you'll get 8 distinct shades if you have bit depth 2 you will have 4

[@Thesnakeladyy]

How did you get the leaves to have no background? Other than that I was able to follow along easily! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊

[@JonasMailman]

I’m having this same problem, did you find out how to remove the background?

Do u do this for people?? I want a sleeve but my artist hasnt brought this up and i would like to see exactly what it is going to look like before i commit.. i would pay to have u design it for me.

[@Voltage343]

Awesome video man helped me a lot

[@DebRoo11]

i can walk in with my ideas, the images and style of tattoo but the time it takes to get on the same wave length with the artist is a little frustrating. especially if you're trying to combine parts of images. would love to go in with a more concrete plan for the artist. would make life easier on everyone lol
