[@mrdeadmedics]

Dude you’re the best and the fact all this easily understandable and comprehensive content is free and accessible to anyone has helped me progress faster than I could’ve imagined over the past couple of months, thanks man you are a true artist and gentleman and I appreciate your page endlessly

[@MoseleyAriana94]

Been trying to figure out exactly why my lining wasn't 110% perfect. This video explained every aspect of producing quality basic line work. I finally have gotten consistent lines. Thank u! Keep promoting this channel. It's really helpful for people that are learning. Was starting to feel a little hopeless. This definitely made all the difference. Definitely made me more confident in my work

[@Tattooing101]

That's great to hear! Thank you for your support and we're glad that this video has helped you out

[@Dmcdonald0019]

You would never work in these shops with bad info like you put out

[@user-ni7ui7hs8c]

So what was wrong with your lines?

[@markevanfesalbon1710]

This is a better explanation of how you can damage the skin if you are not aware of your hand speed and voltage. Great job!

[@daniellebrownn0101]

I tattooed myself yesterday and I had to go over the same lines like 5-6 times and I couldn’t figure out why but now I know it was definitely because I was too scared

[@CognizantApe]

stretch that skin and commit! lol✌👊

[@Opsnews365]

Lol I'm doing my first tat tonight Ive practiced quite but but first time on a person I'm excited 😆 but I can see me not going deep enough

[@whodis4531]

SAME

[@DOwhutnow]

You really don't get a good idea until you hit skin. I did my first tattoo on myself and it really gave me an aha moment. Did my second on my wife and it was so much better. Cleaner lines.. more consistent depth throughout the line

[@Fleckels28]

[@laurencameron7453]

My favorite thing about giving myself my first tattoo was to figure out what skin felt like first hand. I genuinely wasn’t even In pain I was more so anxious that I wasnt getting deep enough (which I didn’t, it’s super light like a faded pen, I could’ve went deeper) my ones following that one though have been looking better :)

[@whodis4531]

Exactly!!

[@HumblePupp]

i got a machine the other day and did the same, a lil star on my leg and because it didnt hurt i did another one and went out of my way to make it hurt and learned what a blow out was lol. the beauty of it is even though they look awful, they were my first tattoos and i did them :D

[@daniellebrownn0101]

I’m really glad I found your account 🖤

[@Thearcherfl]

[@elbassaraghii5744]

That is a materful skill when you find a good artist and skilled tattoo er who is clean and sterile ,is a god send love yall and thanks 😎👍🏾

[@outlawphil]

Your practice skin reminds me of how Peter Han tells people to practice pen sketching, and dropping a line on top of a line with precision is going to determine your skill.

[@All_seeing_graphics]

Im tattooing a hand I tend to float the need but in the flexible areas such as webbing the ink tries not to take everywhere my lines take smooth just not the hand am I not pushing the needle deep enough. I feel I push pretty deep but the skin is flexing with the needle. Single needle. Is that a voltage problem?

[@michaelwarden6775]

"i like to push my lines" instantly goes to pull a line

[@roxanaponce7068]

I was going to comment that 😂😂

[@letscheckitout1985]

Man, I love all your videos. I have to ask you in this one what are you using for the outlining? That isn’t just one needle almost looks like possibly two or three. I’m using a 12 round line right now and it’s so skinny I feel. Wanted to know what you used here. Thanks!!!

[@jbabebeauty]

For micro and fine line tats, what machine and needle do you recommend?

[@janamatrix8387]

You don't switch between machines for tattoos. The only thing that changes is needle type/arrangement and size. If you wanted to do fine lines, you'd just use a smaller needle grouping.

[@antipatriarchy]

i always enjoy your video's. i hope you keep on doing these. besides do you consider the pro-hawk needles as good. and which would you recommend for realism tattoos.

[@bees.3140]

Do you use your wrist when lining or drag your arm?

[@audreannemaille5245]

Thank you for the video ! I did my fourth tattoo on human skin yesterday and I was pissed because some of my thin lines were shaky. My drawings/paintings/stencils are super good (I’ve been drawing since the age of two years old) but it makes me sad to draw a really good tattoo but the outcome is 80% correct compared to the drawing. 😔

[@ang3lcru5h3r]

I noticed that you said that you push your lines . But when you started tattooing the rose you pulled all your lines so far. is there a reason for that?

[@davidbravo2698]

I had the same doubts since he says he pushes the lines but hes going the opposite dirección many times

[@TattooedRobot]

It has a lot to do with the fact that is doesn't fully understand how tattooing ACTUALLY works.

[@bramrobichez6211]

Good stuff! Thanks! You say you prefer pushing your lines, but the first thing you when starting the demo is … pulling them in stead 😊

[@TT.MARKado]

hey man, when tattooing on a practice skin, does it need to be streched like tattooing on a real skin, or no?!? thank you for this video...

[@Tattooing101]

Yes, it's good practice to stretch even on practice skins!

[@PsychzTox]

I subscribed to listen to you only you make sense thank you

[@randymack1782]

only starting to learn, but riding tip, vs needle, and hand speed, voltage, just reminds me of controlling welding speed, and weld puddle, I been welding off & on 40 years, working tip for welding art projects, wire diameter, depending on what I am welding, thickness of metal? never touched a tattoo gun yet, but trying to learn & get understanding

[@enriqueorozco5858]

Hey man randy Mack fuck it up brother tattooing is an art just like welding you got this. Start small until your cool with bigger. I grew in a heavy gang area where tattoos where pretty mutch daily I Ben tattoo on and off sins I could pick up a pencil I love too see more ppl trying this art you got more in you than you think peace man and fuck it up!

I cut my teeth building Harleys at a "club" shop in my youth. Former boss now president of club. I once was a decent artist, just ordered quill pens to practice drawing with. Slow, and deliberate steps. But I have to start somewhere

i use coil machine, but going to get one of those pen style machines, was wondering can u dip the tip of the needle in water to clean it off when switching colors ect.. like when using coil machines.? just asking cause i dont wanna be shorting the pen out or anything like that, lol..

Is it necessary to wrap the machine?

[@marceloignacioaounmerino7641]

can you add spanish subtitles to your course please!?

[@serenitywoodham9083]

What cartridges do you recommend

[@iangarnerlerose]

Question, if we use the example of your third line (the correct one) what would happen if you kept that same needle depth and voltage but slowed your hand speed way down. Would you “cut” the skin again like the second line? Thanks.

[@JoseGutierrez-jj2rv]

So when your going over your stencil lines, do you keep your hand posture to where you can always see your stencil oor are there times when you can't see it and you wing it hoping you got it good?

[@crystalsolow4519]

What kind of needle are you using?

[@erinspencer1495]

Thanks for the video! You mentioned that the needle must be completely pulled inside the catrigde when the machine is off. My needles are always hanging out a little (~2mm) when off. Is this a problem with the machine or the cartridge? Do you know how to fix it? I'm using a mast fold pro pen style machine with adjustable stroke. Even when I adjust to the lowest stroke, the needle hangs out when machine is off. Please help!

[@vapestar3705]

What is your actual style?do you mainly do traditional?new school?Realism?I know alot of tattoo artist do it all but what is your preferred type of work Brandon?

[@Tattooing101]

Great questions so I’ve worked almost my whole career in a walk in street shop so I’ve had to get proficient at all styles but if I’m drawing something it’s traditional or neotraditional.

[@vapestar3705]

@@Tattooing101 I was gonna say I've seen the traditional stuff you do on here and it's da** good man.i started at a local shop in Midwest indiana and all I did was clean the shop and trace his stencils.so once I noticed he wasn't teaching me anything I happened to move and get into a great shop a couple years later and started learning alot and I mean ALOT!but then the pandemic hit :( so after about a solid 6 or 7 months of every day tattooing pig skin,fruit,reel skin,and a couple friends I ended up having to get a job to pay my bills.so I ended up working for Amazon while this pandemic is going on and just tattoo in my free time until this is over and I can actually go back tattooing full time at a shop or the same shop possibly.but watching your videos has really got me back in the groove of tattooing every weekend and when I'm not tattooing friends and family I draw and or paint "graffiti" still in my 30s.so just wanted to let ya know your traditional style is absolutely great from what I've seen and that and black and gray is what my main focus is on now.ive been doing alot of newschool stuff lately but wanna get back to the traditional and graywash.so just wanted to say thanks and keep these tips,tricks,hints,and review on budget machine videos comen man cause your channel is growing more and more each and every day!

What is the best voltage for lining beginners

[@bees.3140]

8 works for me

[@Lazarusreflexx]

Any opinions on CNC police carts on skin? They've been really nice on synthetic for me I'm just a bit hesitant to put lines on myself with them.

[@Tattooing101]

CNC Police cartridges are decent for synthetic practice, but if you’re hesitant about using them on yourself, it’s probably worth testing with a higher-end cartridge first. Reliable, quality cartridges can make a big difference when it comes to clean lines and minimizing trauma on real skin.

Brandon what power supply you use. I know every power supply has different output voltage. I got the MusoToku and was wondering what voltage you would recommend for lining, shading ,color packing. I'm using rotary and pen style machines. All with adjustable stroke lengths 3 to 4. This video helped me out alot my biggest issues are comfortable hand placement, incorrect voltage. I'm going to try the hand placement that you shown in the video and if you have any suggestions on voltage with my type of power supply that'll help out alot. Thx again for the videos and tips.

[@Tattooing101]

hello mike that's a great question. For lining I run my critical power supply around 10 for the normal liners that I use for a smaller needle like a 5 or a 3rl will turn it down to 8. how for shading I like to stick to about a 8-9 for smooth shading and having a smaller stroke will help as well. and last when I am working on a color tattoo for the style that I tattoo I run my machine at a 10, the same as I do for my lining.
