How To Line With A Round Shader

[@Inked_by_jc]

Can you do a video on how to adapt to certain areas of the body that are difficult like fingers, palms, elbows, knees, etc. what changes do you make to properly saturate lines and/or shading in those areas?

[@bradend1481]

Yes

[@paolotelevision7604]

You did great advice Brandon, I had issues only with 7 rs but now, oh boy I can line with them now. With no funky space in the middle because of the gap

[@sinav.3138]

I was lining with a #12/14 RS with my avenger 2 pro at a 4,6mm stroke... It's the only machine that's pushing these thick needle groupings effortless.. I used it for big neotraditional flower designs or some geometric stuff...

[@poppylovestattooing-u8m]

Hey Brandon thanks for another great video and much needed useful information! When I started to learn how to tattoo, I bought a package of assortment needle cartridges and always has issues using round shaders, so I avoided using them. Now I can actually use what I have and save money!Thanks Again! 🙏poppy

[@stevenmoll8709]

Yes sir I'm getting better and better I've commented on your videos and you guys have responded you guys explain so great thank you guys!!

[@vohiii]

Biggest I have used is 1014RS. I really like lining with the 1007RS. How would you say 12 with compares with 10 for Round Shaders? I was thinking to buy some to see the difference.

[@Michael-cb3dz]

Thank you .for ever thing im saving up to bye yall class and your tattoo book all most there .lol and iv tried using a 11rs and it did not go so good lol

[@jdavis8646]

Awesome info! The magnified picture-in-picture is super helpful!!!

[@Tattooing101]

Awesome, we’ll keep infinityit

[@Tattooing101]

Doing it*

[@freefreeog]

I just tried an 1011RS today on some fake skin and yeah I was so confused why my lines werent saturating like they do with my liner needles. I found a voltage that ended up working and a hand speed to match it so I'm glad I gave it a try before trying to apply it to real skin.

[@Dropsen1]

How did you managed that? My lines with RL’s are perfect but with RS’s even with low hand speed and low voltage they arent solid

[@rickymingus8806]

I have also seen guys I’ve been around turn up machine running faster to line with round shaders and even if lining with regular liners you always whip your line out when pulling your needle out at the end or you will get that ink dot stopping it without doing so

[@GemBMs]

Love a 14RL. Sometimes it’s too big to get into the skin so I’ll double line it but I’d always rather use a fat liner whenever possible

[@zonaihero]

I’ve used an eleven round liner lol but I use shaders as my liner for the most part

[@Richiebones]

Hey brother. I am having trouble running lines with a 14 round shader. I am running a coil machine and I can't seem to run a good line wirh it . I am not sure if it's the size tip or what . I press down pretty good . I have several coil liners 2 apollo2 coil liners 10 wrap coils - 2 knock off micky sharps dial frames that I built my self 1 has 10 wrap coils and 1 has 8 wrap coils. I am just trying to figure it out . How would you set up a coil liner if you wanted to run soild lines with a coil liner from the coils to the springs and tip Size . I tried slowing my hand .pressing harder I have my angle at 90 degrees almost straight up wirh a slight angle. I completed a tattoo yesterday and it was a nightmare all the way through cause I had to run lines multiple times very stressful to say the least it took me 3 times as long.

[@lukedorrington7455]

Is shading with round shaders the same as mags or even Round liners? I mean can you whip/pendulum shade or do you have to do it more like packing colour? I read in a forum you had to use circular motions for Round shaders

[@Michael-cb3dz]

Can you do a video on bug pen 10g liners Versus 12g liners like 12 9rl vs 10 9rl

[@sushinktattoo1366]

I got some CNC carts sent to me. I don’t understand how they line so well. I used to hate on them till I tried with my direkt2. Better then mast IMO

[@henrymartinez9802]

Never used a rs but will love to see a video of shading or doing color with the rs ? And i have one question it happen a few time why my neddle got like stuck on skin or feel like it skip happen to me like 2 time last week ? (Using a new machine bronc v2 ) Thanks in advance

[@ruydiculous8564]

Probably the skin is not stretched enough and/or you’re pushing the needles at a sharp angle. So try stretching it out more and or drag the needle instead of pushing it

[@henrymartinez9802]

@@ruydiculous8564 Will make sure to check that cus i make sure i stretch the skin maybe my angle and puching it never haver to me but past 2 tattoo happen maybe one or two times Thanks for the anwer

[@mistyblattner5844]

What voltage would you recommend for a pen style machine when it comes to lining vs shading? Also for stippling what voltage should you use? If you hang your needle out of the cartridge a bit for lining should you bring it in more for shading and stippling?

[@mistyblattner5844]

@tattooing101

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

Voltage depends on your hand speed. What works for one tattoo artist may not work for others if the hand speed is not the same. Stippling is best at a lower voltage, but this too depends on your hand speed and size of needle.

[@PadikoyzTv]

I used 3rl for lining, and yes it leaves a fuzzy line and obvious crack? Is this normal for 3rl liner, or i use Round Shader, if i want a crisps line..?

[@BossMovesOfficial]

I don't see any videos from anyone showing how folks shade with a round shader. It's seems folks are mostly lining with RS and some tight color packing

[@johnnybratto]

Long taper needle?

[@igustiputuagungr3979]

I play in coil tattoo machine...if i make liner with 9rs what machine should i use liner machine or shader machine...thank you

[@breannaalvarez7114]

Question. When I attempted using a RS for lining I had ink bleed on the back of my fake skin so those would be blow outs on real skin. Do you change pressure or depth when using RS compared to RL?

[@Tattooing101]

The depth should be the same. If it’s going threw that sounds like a depth issue

[@DaveGym2.0]

What voltage were you running at?

[@bradleymatthews9807]

I've used a 11 rs

[@liesbethjanssen9865]

You are great i learn a lot realy i love it

[@miguelluna5195]

Are hollow round liners same as round shaders ?

[@room311tattoo]

Why dont u use just a 11rl or a 14rl?

[@razzle2112]

so whats the difference between a liner/shader and a round liner/shader like what do they do differently than each other ?

[@courtvos3537]

But do I use the rs in my liner machine?

[@pedjotattoo]

I am some times lining with 11rs and its good,all above is too much ;-)

[@FAWD24]

I just want a nice thick line can I use a 3 rs to line a small tattoo

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

Yes. I use 3,5,7 rs needles to do line work. It prevents me from having blowouts like I do with rl needles. I'm still practicing on myself lol.

[@FAWD24]

I appreciate the info happy tattooing and I’m doin the same on me as well still learning

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

@@FAWD24 Invest in a thermal tattoo printer if you find it hard to draw stencils. It was a game changer for me. Temu is where I got mine from for half the price of what Amazon sells them for.

[@Giostattoo]

Its better to drag the needles

[@CCGDude]

Only ever used stigma and the yellow box of cartridges off Amazon. Can anyone give me a good brand to try?

[@Tattooing101]

Kwadron cart are the best I also like prime plus

[@CUDDIS]

Chur bro , how to you shade with a round shader ?

[@CCGDude]

What’s the best cartridges to get man

[@Tattooing101]

If you're just starting out and still putting in lots of practice, probably CNC Police cartridges are your best bet. They're budget friendly and great quality for its price point. Other than that, cartridges like Kwadron or T-Tech are great brands to consider

[@anthonywilliams772]

I tried lining with a round shader and it chewed my skin

[@MachoMaamRandallSandwich]

But why? Why use a shader instead of a liner to line?

[@BeatrizSilva-ci9gm]

It takes less damage to the skin

[@bdee1084]

What fuzziness
