[@trevormcquade2034]

The way you went about teaching here is perfect. When I tattoo I do most of these techniques and even learned a couple new ones. The thing you did so well was speaking and teaching all the techniques and why you do them. I feel as if I wouldn’t be able to articulate all of this as well as you just did. Awesome job, and great teaching skills!! Amazing you’re doing this out of the time of your day for the benefit of others, people will learn a lot from this! Keep it up!

[@Hermit1909]

I’m not a tattoo artist, but I enjoy watching your videos and the process. Good stuff, Pony!

His experience already shows from his critique videos, but seeing him do the work just adds so much kore appreciation for how well Pony has honed his craft. Awesome.

[@seangilchrist3102]

we need more videos like this pony. I've done some really good roses but some were a little rough. you feel terrible and try harder next time. I've done hyper realism in pencil and biro but ink is completely different I've found, like leaning to walk again. I'm going to take your advise tomorrow and see where I can elevate my roses

[@japhetkangoma288]

This is a good reason i have enjoyed it alot.....but then my question is everytime i make a tattoo it doesn't come out as expected. .....the ink doesn't stay well what could be problem.....

[@faysholisticways2478]

It's not lost on me how great of a teacher pony Lawson is. That's why they call them tattoo artists. I bet he would be a fantastic mentor. Thank you for the information!

[@wilmervalles1509]

The best tutorial for a realism rose I've seen so far. Beautiful work.

[@fanboyslayer338]

This was by far One of the best Tattoo Tutorials I have ever seen on KZbin..A lot of Knowledge and Technique’s in this Video….More of these types of videos are what people need to get a True Feel on how tattooing really is especially for Realism Tattoo’s..Thanks for the content Pony..I learned so much from this one🙏🏻

[@Duckytattz]

Great freaking video. Super comforting to listen to you teach and narrate.

[@alonetillicanfunction]

I use ink eeze on a paper towel and whip to remove stencil

[@KeieiH]

Yes! I've been looking forward to this ever since you posted a sneak peak on your IG story! 🙌❤

[@LosingxReligion]

thank you this is the best tattoo tutorial ive seen to date

[@noahgonzalez5343]

Bro your the only person I’m watching on you tube from now on!!!!I wish you were my mentor you explain everything so perfect and I hope you make way more videos helping me and everyone out like this!!!!

[@vmaxsonic]

This was the first Rose tuition tattoo I’ve watched. And have to say, the tips explained throughout were easy to understand and very valuable in helping to become a master at such a tricky tattoo. With the points to remember at the end too, being so important not to over do it. Thank you for such a great tuition 👌

[@maxkomarovart]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video... Definitely added few more things I didn't do before.

[@blinktattoostudio]

🙌🙌🙌 respect for your time to educate and show your techniques!

[@skylersmith5659]

My advice is for you to keep making these awesome videos. Been following you for a little while now and it thoroughly enjoy your content.

[@validatedcustomer604]

Best instructional video out there!! Good idea would be to post the the same stencil you used so we can screen shot and practice along with you on the same image and interact with the vid.

[@dianadailyn7497]

You’re an awesome teacher, brother! I got so much out of this and seriously appreciate you making this for us. I’d love to see a video of a thorough discussion of bright color inks, your favorites to work with, how well they hold up, etc. I have a serious love of playing with color, stippling, and gradients. ☺️ Thank you again!! 🤜🤛

[@JuanHerrera-d8q]

Usually some dabs of kitchen oil have worked for me as far as removing the stencil, I’ve learned from another video. Thank you btw! Probably one of the best instructional videos ive seen, I appreciate you sharing!

[@witchyvibesbronxbruja4157]

This was a nice surprise!!!! Thank you for this !!

[@aronroberts5813]

Big question comes to mind: I'm just a fan and collector--not a tattoo artist myself--but I wonder if you tattoo artists use fake skin in darker tones? I would be suuuuuuuuuuuper interested in seeing videos like this one that feature examples of different techniques used on dark skin / dark fake-skin.

[@prasadsilva3158]

I’m a tattoo artist and I always work with dark skin. It’s really helpful if we can get learn some technic. Also coverup on dark skins. 🙏🏽💜🇱🇰

[@stevelee9645]

This a GREAT video! Been tattooing 10 years and am just now realizing how much there is to learn from tutorials… most are just beginner tutorials which I don’t take anything from or just high speed videos w out any explanation but YOU do so great with explanations and demonstrations! Thank you! BTW I always apply stencil stuff to a stencil and buff it in until it’s all purple and then wipe it away w alcohol to take it off if I need to reapply before starting. Not sure once the skin is open. But this works like magic every time I need to remove and replace one. Thanks for everything you do!

[@SI-xj5tq]

I had this same stencil problem, made a stencil & left it overnight. The thing that worked for me 100% is straight bleach & waiting an hr for the stencil to fade :)

[@wendellmaharaj5311]

Will the inked outline fade aswell by chance?

[@SI-xj5tq]

Oh I love this video! Such a relaxing video of watching you tattooing. I’d love to see more video’s like this. They are very calming.

[@curtiscave3870]

This is by far one of the best videos I’ve seen. Keep up the fantastic work

[@dstrct3742]

i have created a ´shading´ playlist for learning (on youtube) like 1 or 2 years ago. also payed quiet some money for a online seminar - and its worth the money. but your video right here is the tightest, most informing and easy to follow/understand by far. thank you so much for the time and energy you out into your work on youtube. it really really hels (… a lot) ! best regards from germany

[@tanyamasters3850]

Love this. It would make an awesome follow along if we could download the exact same reference photo

[@RyokoInk]

As someone whos apprenticing right now and learning roses, thanks for this.

[@lukelasteelo3406]

You explained every step perfectly. Great video ❤

[@jimmyantoine3468]

You are a blast man, for removing the stencil...bleach water at 100% all night was my solution, Done! Please Pony, we need more tutorials from U

[@Inkdbymiami]

Normally, I soak my fake skin in bleach water over night. Or for a few hours. Should come right off. Cold water. Also, before applying my stencil I clean it with Dawn soap. Dry it then apply small amount of stencils stuff. This video was great. Liked to see your approach with roses. Would love to see another 💛💫

[@wendellmaharaj5311]

Will the inked outline fade aswell

A modern day Bob Ross! Only missing the fro Super interesting to get this in-depth lesson in how you work. Many obvious things that I feel I needed to hear again. Really appreciate you giving this to us. Ps. F***ing hate working on fake skin

[@poppylovestattooing-u8m]

Hey Pony, Thank you for breaking down how to tattoo a realism black and gray rose. It really helped me understand what I need to do to improve my realism tattooing. Now for removing the purple stencil from the fake skin, I have had great success in soaking the fake skin sit in straight bleach for a few hours and it erases all of the purple. I hope this helps you! 🙏 Poppy

[@olisykes4986]

You should put more tutorials. Your explanation is great, so is the video.

[@DiabolicalAngel]

Hell; this is great for us traditional artists, too! Thanks for the great content, Pony.

[@systemerror591]

I loved this video! It's nice to see you show us you can practice what you preach, and as someone who is hoping to get their first tattoo within the next year it's nice to see an artist's perspective on the process.

[@mariedamientattoos8393]

Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been wanting to get into realism more, and now I’m excited to get to practicing!

[@bikerclown1]

i love this rose , nice work !!! when i want to remove a stensil , i first put a thick layer of stensilstuff on it , let it on for a minute of two , wipe it clean and than i use dettol to wipe of the remaining lines , works good for me ;) greets from Belgium !

[@erikberrios9887]

Very nice video you’re a very underrated KZbinr stay true and you can’t fail

That is a real tutorial 👏👏👏👏. We need more with all those secrets😁

[@danielejunior2748]

Best tutorial on youtube my brother!

[@straingedays]

As an eternally learning novice artist (not a tattooist), my stems & thorns looked fine but my roses resembled a cabbages. You gave me the will too attempt drawing roses again !!

[@pedrocascante1792]

please more of this, this is really helpful

[@jackberglund4484]

Great! You guys are doing the industry a service!

[@shanecdowning]

If you get Any bleach spray that foams spray that on in a thick manner for 15 - 30 min and most should come off. After your done if you still have stencil on there let the bleach sit over night. Nice rose btw

[@ferdialpagu]

Perfect content and tips! And for free 💥

[@agustinvidal5745]

Thank you for all your help. I enjoyed your video very much and learned a lot as well. Please keep up the good work.

[@ryanlucus1684]

I've been watching videos on line work and was getting to the point of feeling like my style of drawing wasn't going to work in tattoos. Your video just gave me hope.

[@stevie-green]

Would love to see more of these types of videos dude , excellent

[@michaelcaton9358]

Amazing. I don’t want to learn how to tattoo but I’m learning how to draw here.

[@AdreyM978]

When putting the stencil i like to dab a bit of a wet cloth befor removing the stencil sheet off the skin. that leaves a darker stencil that will only come off with alcohol. Same with taking off leave a damp cloth towel over the tattoo to remove stencil. I use Vaseline to help take off some of the smearing ink left behind when whipping. Also for beginner don't forget to leave the stencil dry over night!

[@stevengillum7394]

Fantastic video great voice over on what to do or should do love this content keep em coming

[@tonigiggino]

Totally agree!

Also I use a combo of dettol and rubbing alcohol to remove the blue stencil.

[@theclassicccc9119]

Yeaaaa more HOW TO please!!

[@adrzl0026]

Are you just grazing over the fake skin? I feel like even with the diluted ink I'm still having thr fake skin bubble up from overworking it. Does it depend on the brand? Also, I feel like when I push I always end up getting snagged in the skin

[@elenakryemadhi2024]

Great these helped me a lot to answer some of the questions I had in mind ...

[@arethasouza2321]

Well done, Pony! Perfect! ❤️

[@jackosullivan6951]

Pony great video, I love watching everyone’s own approach. If I can make a suggestion? A small copy of the reference next to the skin so we can see what you see. Looking forward to more of these. Thank dude

[@DjMrGrimM]

More videos like this, different styles please😆!!! And next time can you have some way to indicate the tones you are switching from through the tattoo?

[@HeranPark]

Any suggestions on a good practice skin? Tried quite a few. Majority suck when it comes to stenciling and actually taking the needle.

[@josehernandez-zh1tn]

Great video!I use nivea men cream to remove stencil

[@MrJuuddss]

i learnt a lot of useful stuff in your video ty so much for sharing, I'm not sure if others have suggested it but i use Vaseline to remove the stencil marks off fake skin with paper towels it works a treat thanks again.

[@ziganamonroe1812]

Absolutely beautiful. Love this tutorial. Thanks Pony

[@losclavosdecrypto9271]

I quit the stencil with normal vaseline and absorvent paper(the kitchen´s roll normal paper), like a rubber on paper when draw with pencils, in silicone skins is better, but depends maybe the kind of silicone, or the time of dry before start tattooing, thanks for your videos!

[@rechardwimberly5808]

Great video, I think my issue is I need to use bigger mags and round shaders

[@smileywayspart2118]

What is this type of stencil called ? And this video is perfect!

[@jamesmorrishere22]

I've seen people leave the stencil on for 30 minutes then clean it off so that it's light enough to not see it when you tattoo over it but dark enough for you to see it still through out the whole tattoo I've tried amd it works great
