Im gonna be honest, I've been tattooing a long time, self taught, never consistent, sometimes there's a break of a year or 3 lol. I do tattoos for friends and family who like my art work. The depth in which you explain things is phenomenal! I've always wanted to make a career out of tattooing but with 4 kids it's to hard to take an apprenticeship. Thank you for being real and trying to help ppl learn, you're awesome bro!

[@ohsorawjohnson8403]

This what I've need for a long time... All of it makes so much sense... Thank you brother... This will take my art and life to the next level

[@munashemawoyo]

hopefully im going to learn more from you im just starting to be an tattoo artist

[@aimsink]

Awesome new video pal. Looks great.

[@bradyleblanc4953]

Hey man just curious is it really that important in regards of witch way your pulling your line and what way your machine is facing? Seems like you were preaching it in video one but I notice in video two you weren’t really following that method?

[@333funkymunky]

Did u ever figure out the answer? I find that when my machine is tilted in a different direction than the line im doing it sort of drags itself in that direction instead of doing what i want it to do. Sometimes I can’t get my hand in a comfortable position where i can control it properly in the line direction without rubbing all over the stencil

[@VshnsAudio]

He did the same thing in regards to the angle the needle enters the skin at for the straight lines video

[@martinrhyne250]

Not directly from the course. What I know on the subject. Your needles are designed to ride in the back of the tube tip. If you keep your machine running forward it keeps the needles planted on the back of the tube. If you pull it against this it tends to lift from the tube and you'll have needle wander. On fake skin you can lay a paper towel over the stencil and rest your hand on the paper towel. Use care not to move the towel as it can wipe against the stencil. If you keep consistent with speed and understand it will wander a bit you can use it for certain effects. You can also keep consistent and use the machine backwards or sideways even if your not outrunning the machine.

[@emanuelaamato3161]

Great video Ben❤

[@tomaspuiduonis6736]

True Genius! ❤

[@trentmccully900]

Great video!!

[@yohancandotti1928]

Hi Ben, Thank you very much for the quality of your tutorials and your advices. I was wondering about the strokes from B to C and from D to A. Isn’t there a risk that the ink will come out of the stencil line by going from left to right rather than pushing the machine or pulling it (11:19)? Sorry I’m not an english native speaker so maybe you explained it and I missed the information. Thank you

[@BenFisherOfficial]

Yes so the ink would be ever so slightly above the line. This is so small of a difference but I mention it in great deal as so people understand which as you pointed it out you clearly do so well done. As long as it’s consistent throughout then it will be 100% fine

[@DANZUdada]

thankyou sir for giving us specially me as a beginner to experience this lessons for free..such a big help...

[@BenFisherOfficial]

It's my pleasure

[@cesarsalas9540]

Excellent; thanks for sharing it¡¡

[@YourFajah94]

I was just confused why when doing line b to c you didn't change angle of machine. Can you advise?

[@outshriek]

Hey Ben! I have heard the advice to move your arm and not your fingers/wrists, but I have also heard to lock your elbow to your abdomen to keep it steady. I have a problem doing both at the same time! Do you have any tips or advice on which technique I should be prioritizing first?

[@KaylynnRodriguez-q4d]

does he have kits to help you just have everything together for these classes

[@LameBrainz-nr8jf]

bro thank you isnt enough but thank you

[@JamesNapolitano-qe9vj]

This video seems a lot harder than the first video, but I know it'll be worth it in the end.

[@victoriastoll1789]

Hi Ben, I have a question. I understand the 3 point stretch but I’ve seen people say to pop a little inkeeze on the side of your tattooing hand, to help your hand glide over the skin easier ( if moving your arm instead of your fingers to control the machine. So you can keep the needle the same in the skin and have more control. I hope that make sense) but then I can’t get a good stretch with that hand because it’s slippy. Do you have any advice on how to grip it better if using a lubricant to help glide x

[@kamerontereshka8628]

Should I go the opposite direction? I'm right handed and you being left..it seems that impacts my machine direction

[@martatuminska6772]

what I understood the needle should go straight to the skin with the angle 90... then the deposit of the ink is exactly where we out the needle... but when you are practising small squares I see that the machine and needle are not in the 90 angle... 🤔 is it not the mistake what you explain to avoid.. sorry for the question I'm super fresh and trying to understand every step .

[@BenFisherOfficial]

Please rewatch the lesson. The needle goes straight in depending on the view.

[@BobbyRichardson-up4fj]

I can not find the stencel download for this one

[@TheFletchsb]

I'm not aure if I've missed this in another video but what is the indicator on the top right of the screen. Is it for shading?

[@dshanbutler2807]

What's the best stencil machine

[@alancoles8463]

just 1 question i notice from video that machine is not upright does this make a differenc

[@marcinpawlak3929]

Hi Ben!! I tried to sign up for the 30 days course to start with but you're website pops a 404 error when I try to sign up. Is it just me and is there any other way? Also thank you for all your hard work!!!

[@moisesfabian205]

Is this part of a new series?

[@BenFisherOfficial]

No these will be the new versions of the videos

[@user-bq8bh4ej4k]

❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ashathaci5757]

I have a question why is he holding the machine slightly slanted ? I thought he said it has to be absolutely straight?

[@emmirose914]

Any tips on curved lines?

[@aimsink]

He has already released a curved line video. Hope this helps.

[@emmirose914]

@@aimsink thank you

[@jobothehobotv]

Im so confused, he preaches keeping the machine facing the direction you're going, but he doesn't do that when pulling his lines in the boxes.

[@BenFisherOfficial]

Please listen to the videos again. I say in the perfect situation thats what we should aim to do however thats not always the case. The main thing is you understand how with can cause a small effect to how the ink enters the skin. Just the fact you have picked up on this is a good thing because it shows your watching and noticing things. Well done buddy but yes it’s not something thats a 100% rule.

[@muskokaheritagestonecraft8233]

Day two down

[@muhammadbobyalkaff9614]

I need translate for language bahasa Indonesia

[@PINACI]

At 11:15 you are tattooing exactly how you just told people not to tattoo. your needle is not at 90° and not going in the direction of the line either. You are holding your gun at about a 40° angle. I've been following your tutorials and plan on practicing with then on my fake skin but as you just demonstrated, even as a pro you are still making the mistakes amateurs make.

[@BenFisherOfficial]

Re listen and re listen to previous video. That is the ideal position but not always comfortable. It’s more to make you aware the when doing it how I show the the entry point and place the ink is deposited will be slightly different

[@PINACI]

@@BenFisherOfficial Yes I watched your previous videos and in them you state that if you can't go in the direction of the line then to re-angle your needle to a 90° position so the ink goes straight down into the dermis rather than to either side of the line. Anyway, my biggest difficulty at the moment is keeping the needle at the correct depth. I don't want to learn by riding the tube so am sticking my needle out about 3-4mm and trying to go no further than 1.5-2mm., not easy ATM but might get better now I'm following your tutorials.

[@Online.Alias.69]

flip the way you do it because he's left handed
