How To Do a PERFECT Tattoo! | Simple Breakdown & Demonstration

[@FAWK_YT_Democrats_Liberals]

This is what I've learned about tattooing so far. Some people say do it this way, some people say do it that way. Each individual person is going to have a unique style. One may specialize in realism. One may specialize in traditional. One may be pretty decent at all styles. Some may prefer to "ride the tube" or "float the needle". Some may use less or more voltage. Some may use less or more needle depth. You do what is achievable and works for you and your style and set-up. Take into consideration other techniques and try them and see if it works for you. Practice what works for you and what doesn't. Stick to the basics: clean\sanitary work area, patience, straight and steady lines, good shading.

🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much

[@ninja817817]

I started on myself. One practice skin lmao. The practice skin is nothing like my skin. Don't think I'll do it for a profession but I definitely love saving money 😌

[@UNCLELEE78]

Great reply - The truth ;)

[@jedvicente5390]

[@williamsanchez5191]

Another amazing video Brandon. I started tattooing 5 days ago and I appreciate all your content. Thank you for the knowledge and inspiration sir. God bless.

[@williamsanchez5191]

Ahahaha right.

[@kadesurbankitchen5429]

You are such a good teacher. You give good tips but make it concise and look easy. Thanks so much.

[@Astralbody333]

Your videos are very informative! I’ve learned a lot! Can you mention the tattoo machine, stroke, and voltage during your tutorials. 🙏🏾

[@denin999]

Thank you for these vids, amazing work and super clear and concise with your instructions!

[@Tattooing101]

Glad it was helpful!

[@obsceneremer7521]

I’ve watched countless videos, and this is by far the best one I came across. I learned so much from it. Thank you Champ

[@stenliosko]

Hi mate! :) It looks nicely done..I enjoyed the whole process. What kind of skin you are using? I have it seems like softer one, bright orange color, and it doesn't make such easy lining as yours. Any recommendations? THX a lot!

[@tonyhoney3797]

Absolutely love this!!! So good at explaining everything 😌

[@Tonylu84]

I'm a big fan of yours plus your artwork and precision and shading, lines and all i keep watching your videos each day and learning these high quality tips. Hope you keep doing more videos because imma keep watching it. You go pro!! 💪🔥💯

[@OreBoy541]

I really enjoy these videos

[@alejandradozal1129]

Question did you clean the needle before going into lighter ink or you can jump from ink to ink?

[@natanoodle3303]

This was extremely helpful dude! Thanks!!

[@Tattooing101]

Glad it helped!

[@JucelAlolor-np7ez]

Yeah it's good bro you have a good demonstrate of your sharing technic for tattoo

[@jaydacummings3109]

Isn't shading/lining it up so many ways up and down from right to left bad for skin cause u were doing that or idk maybe I'm wrong amd how much would that tattoo cost if anyone wanted it

[@viktoriarose9055]

The shading part looks so fun😩

[@Vincedandie]

Hi mate, what needle thickness are using for the traces ?

[@jdavis8646]

Thank you for the cool video! I have been doing a bunch of infinity tattoos lately…. Would actually love it if you did one and offered your helpful tips! You guys are awesome!!

[@moonrunnerredline327]

Nice video production. Thank you for this contribution, You transmit on a frequency that I find peaceful and easy to absorb and this content is very useful, This is exactly what I am trying to learn about. I will be sure to watch many more before I handle any tools, Thanks from New Zealand.

[@kylewolfman]

We just got all the equipment to start doing our own tats at home. I'm not going to do anyone else except the wife and I so I guess we will see how it goes. Your videos are amazing and I'll be watching many more and practicing on my fake skin. OneLove

[@CaysASMR]

What volts did you use for the shading?

[@puthy34ter]

do you wash your needles when you switch shades?

[@bigdswinging3403]

I love that design

[@krissisnow6964]

I’m so glad I discovered Brandon’s videos. I wish I would’ve sooner bc maybe I wouldn’t have shitty mess-up tattoos on myself 😂 .. thankfully they’re fixable .. thanks for being such a rad teacher Brandon 😘

[@jenledgervideosalbuminterviews]

me too lol

[@jenledgervideosalbuminterviews]

I am eally hope mine can be fixed. Brandon, you are an an amzing teacher, patient, kind, understanding and i can't tell you how much i appreciate you. God Bless

[@cristianvideo6906]

Can u tells u what kind of needles u use on the lines and shading

[@chefkenburnem211]

It’s funny how you brought up infinity tattoos joking around,but seriously I just did one last night and probably have done 50 in the past 6months easy.. I don’t understand the craze that seems to be happening with them..amongst others that we all know what I’m talking about.😊 love the content bruh.

[@juancorrea8385]

I have a problem when wiping away ink, it just smears all over the fake skin.

[@dnaduran3898]

cant wait to get my first machine, this video makes it look easy, super usefull video,

[@spookyruiz5994]

Not sure if anyone has asked this but have u had a stencil wipe away completely and if u did what did you do?

[@yaelleproductions]

hey ! what is the brand and model of your tatoo machine ? Maybe you already told but you know, I'm french ^^ thanks

[@shanereaction1396]

Just wanted to say thank you. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I think this was a really great design to show some different techniques. The only thing I would say, is that when you transition from one shade to the next, that you say something like “ and now I’m using my lightest shade”. If that makes any sense. I watch a lot of tattoo tutorials and it seems that the teacher always leaves out what shading he’s using at that time and he may dip from one cup to the next and I’m not sure which one he’s using. Hope this helps and thanks again for another great video.!!

[@xboxfreaks7618]

Can you do a video on where to put the shading??

[@razzle2112]

1. when I start working on people, should I still use Vaseline to clean them up ? 2. How were you able to do that one line that faded out but were still able to keep it in the skin?

[@staceydeleston3293]

beautiful

[@gabrielfernandeztattoos]

Skin practice looks that works good, what brand is it? You have a link for it? Thank you in advance

[@8ternal772]

Hi! 😊want to ask,, iam using cnc machine (pentype) and i dont know whats wrong because there is no ink thats coming out in the needle, i already dipping my needle in my ink but when i started doing the tattoo there is no ink or so little ink that is coming out. 😁😁 why is that? 😁😊 again thank you so much for all your educational videos! Really help us a lot beginners 👍❤️😊

[@ragemoure5542]

That’s weird. Maybe try a different brand of cartridge, using more of an angle to tattoo, adjusting your length of needle a little bit 🤷‍♂️

[@90gersontoledo]

Ever since I’ve subscribed to you I’ve learned a lot I wanted to take the time out to appreciate it you on everything that you have to offer so thank you!!! Keep up the grind and love to see more

[@robertbrown3306]

Color to the eye think it would look better but great job man

[@vansmith-eo9es]

I'm having trouble adjusting to the right type of needles or gauges especially when trying to pack in solid black tribal tattoos large pieces I've tried using 15 bug pin mags and I ended up chewing someone's arm up was having a hard time getting the ink to take in the skin so I figured I would work it a little bit more and wound up working it way too much can you give me any suggestions please

[@magibomagibo4451]

Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭, thanks for the videos. We really appreciate. Can you kindly do videos on how to approach realism black and gray tattoos ?

[@PapaMaialettoXVI]

9:50 what do you mean by drops, drops of paint in the water? Could you specify in % since the drops would vary in relation of the cup size used. Could i ask for an advice on how to pack black with a mag cos im practicing on my thigh but i cant color with a mag, basically im already bleeding to much with 8+ volts and not packing the amount of color i want, the liners work fine. Also the mag is never uniform (some needles have more ink than others) for now i used only flat mags, never curved

[@eksrevolt]

I believe distilled water, ink mixing solution, or shading solution

[@Miatasmr]

Theres a lot to go i to that, one u should definitely lower the voltage down, when shading expect to go over a lot and if ur using a 4.0 stroke with a high voltage itll def cause more trauma then u want. As for the needles, are you using a rotary? Are the cartridges youre using nice? Some are utter garbage so make shre ur using quality supplies.

[@esmaraldabignell69]

I am so happy i found your channel. I Just start tatoo myself.pure Just for only me.but i am really scared bc make fun of me.i am almost 50years old and not ritch;) but always my whole life love the art and freedom of yourself of it.

[@reverblife1812]

Hello! So at the shading part you added into those 2 cups 6 and 3 drops of water? Or why is it so watering?😁

[@andjela6993]

what kind of machine are you using ?

[@jackattack5555]

great video

[@TheAmp07]

I'm new to tattooing, I know you said you have a 6 and a 3 drop. Do you use any particular type of water to dilute the black ink? Hope you can respond, thank you! I love your videos ! 🤟😁

[@blaw277]

Distilled Water

[@tonydavey9084]

nice one what machine did you use pls

[@homertorres3000]

What should we try and start on when we do first start tattooing?

[@lulugemnsk8960]

very helpful thanks

[@rickysavala4316]

What’s up Brandon. Thx for the video and the useful tips. Question, so I tattoo myself the other day and my lines looked great and saturated nice and dark lines, when I wiped it down with my green soap most of my color in my lines disappeared, the next day the lines looked better but not as dark as it should be. I’m using a 9RL with an inkjecta X1 at about 8V , thx any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@julesdusset]

You were most likely not deep enough in the skin which is really common for self tattoos. Stay confident and pull that stable deep line and you will see how black it should be. Keep at it Wishing you th best

[@rickysavala4316]

@@julesdusset thank you 🙏🏻 I will try that approach today. As for the size is a bugpin better to use for the ink saturation or standard size needles?

[@tairauchida4363]

Man put the volts up to about 10.5-11. Inkjectas run high. Also try coils. You will learn more from skin responses

[@Zuisgenox]

what kind of gun are u using

[@49Teeth]

Things are going well with my tattoo practice, only issue is that I get a slightly annoying amount of ink pooling at the tip while tattooing. I use vaseline, any idea what I can do to stop this? Makes it difficult to see exactly where my needle tip is.

[@nishimia431]

have you tried to wipe the ink from the needle before tattooing?

[@punchinello6537]

dont let the barrel touch the skin while tattooing.
