How To Tattoo On Fake Skin For Beginners

[@bdotsteel]

Also I'm glad I saw you blotting the ink, I tried rubbing it off like i see ppl do with actual skin. I ended up smearing and staining the skin paper when I was filling in the color.

[@AmusedGarden-zr6ju]

Rub some a&d and then wipe comes right off👍

[@deathlywikkan2594]

Me who just got my own machine and packs of fake skin from Amazon....TO BE FAIR I myself didn't buy them, I let my mothers buy them because they wanted the best, cheapest option for a beginner cause I'm 17 and I've never held a tattoo machine before but I'm also really passionate about being a Tattoo artist

[@richie5844]

Make do with what you have! Especially if you’re still in the process of learning. The amazon kit can be used as getting used to your machine.

I just completely love your tutorials, easy to understand straight up 😊

[@Insomnyia]

I wanted to thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I'm a bloody beginner and your website as well as your videos help me so much and don't feel so alone on this journey! I can only imagine the work it takes you to put it all together in such high quality and stuctured as it is on your website! I'm amazed on how much we can access for free!

[@Cerebral_Motivation_Station]

My machine came in today. And I began a few designs and practiced stenciling. I need more practice.. a lot. But thank you for these free videos

[@larsnars427]

my thing is like why do ppl judge me for using fake skin instead of messing up ppls real skin does the same techniques apply ?

[@chandracox6814]

Who judges you? Whoever they are, ignore them. They clearly don't know what they're talking about.

[@jessicareeves5702]

I think people who judge others for using fake skins must not appreciate the process and all that goes into it. When I was very first learning, there was no videos you could watch to help you and certainly no such thing as fake practice skin - you took a chance and got a human Guinea pig and hoped for the best. Don’t waste any time or energy on people who have any kind of problem with using fake skin.. sometimes you just wanna tattoo a cool design and have no one to put it on. They can get over it. 🤙🏻

[@joneon5128]

They are just jealous your pursuing a really cool hobby/career

[@topiary3376]

Bro do your own thing, don't give sombody else the opportunity of take u down....fake skin is for practice some of you friends skin going to mess up anyway!!!!!🤟🤟

[@westcoastmike4158]

You shouldn't warry about what other people think.thsys how you practice when you don't wanna practice on yourself or on other people.i myself am also practicing on fake skin to since I've tattooed myself just once.just have to finish it.so don't warry about what other people say or think you do you.

[@franklinfocus]

Awesome video brother! I just ordered a bunch of things to get in to tattooing, it should be here this weekend! I ordered some “Yuelong” fake skin that you recommended in a previous video because of the thin-ness of the skin. Just so I can be extra sure I’m not blowing out lines. I will definitely order some of these nice skins as well though! Your channel is badass and you’re definitely helping so many people with this information! Thankyou for all your hard work and effort for real 🙏🔥🌍

[@PhilRuybal]

Man.....I've been watching your videos every night for like 3 weeks and you're definitely a GOAT for teaching all this! Question.....what's a good and budget friendly first tattoo gun you'd recommend? I know you have videos on it, but I figured I'd ask ! And do you think someone could become a tattoo artist and JUST do lettering? Thanks man!

[@Tattooing101]

The best machine to get is an inkjecta in my opinion. And yes letting is a big thing if you specifically do that

[@PhilRuybal]

@@Tattooing101 thanks for the reply man! I love and appreciate your videos! Which model?

[@blazebandicoot]

I noticed a faint shadow of ink after you did the lining for the stars. Is that something that only happens on fake skin or real skin as well?

[@alexiEliasArt]

Thx for the tips

[@charlynoa]

Can you please provide a new link to the skins? The one in the description doesn't work anymore.

[@layuli0703]

Does the ink for practice on practice skins and fruit matter? What kind would u recommend?

[@AlchemyOfTheFourthKind]

Tip. Fun fact. What have you. When you are getting comfortable and you're still on fake skin. Take your skin and kind of fold it around something that's the size and dhape of body parts.

[@AG-qv2tk]

how often can i reuse a needle for practicing? and if i would clean them after each session, how should i do it?

[@backinbolivia9588]

I second this question

[@Deartail]

I think you're able to reuse them often if it's on fake skin, but you have to throw away the needles after a session on real skin

[@sethrose9534]

I've been practicing stick n pokes for about 3 weeks on fake skins. I've gone threw 3 7rl needles because I was able to tell they were getting over used and started to Flare out. I cleaned them by dipping them in alcohol and wiping dry with a paper towel. Also if you leave them out you need to worry about accidentally getting urself

[@BrenBeaute]

Can you do a video on how to stencil on fake skin? And any fake skin recommendations?

[@Tattooing101]

We've got a couple of videos on both these topics on our channel! Feel free to check them out 😀

[@taylorfatherree9870]

Do you use a baby wipe to access ink of or just like a damp paper towel

[@melodyvoss]

I know on real skin u would most likely not use baby wipes. Just paper towels. And then 'Green Soap'

[@alej82505]

How do you get the lines so black and vibrant? When I do it, it looks like a pencil 😭

[@ganymede1371]

I have the same problem, it's SO annoying (will be back if I find a solution or something)

[@nomenenimipsumloquitur]

Did you get rid of this problem?

[@GamerDad_91]

Possibly it’s how far your needles hang out, if they do not fully retract back inside the cartridge each time they will not pick up enough ink. Just a guess.

[@lisavalleuuioou5553]

Taking hella notes ngl 😅

[@TrapstarWock]

So is a 7 Round Liner whats normally used for line work? Outlines etc? Right now I’m using 3 RL and can tell it’s too skinny, lines are so shaky etc… someone please help me… what RL is the standard for basic line work and outlines?

[@Tattooing101]

I do a lot of traditional so I use 11rl and 14rl

[@RobDavisGuitar]

Get some 7s and try those out. The are a great midrange size for practicing on skins

[@bdotsteel]

I'm using an Emalla tattoo gun. And I'm using the skin paper that came with the kit. Does anyone know if this is good quality for a rookie like myself?

[@RobDavisGuitar]

Note: the industry doesn't like people calling them guns. They are machines. Hope this helps a wee bit

[@marinakates-bi7ik]

When you recommend 7rl needle which diameter do you mean?

[@TylerMoffatt]

7 is the amount of needles. R is the orientation of the need group, and L is for line work. The more needles, the larger the line

[@TrapstarWock]

@@TylerMoffatt do you know what’s the standard RL for basic tattoos? Like for line work, outlines etc? What’s the most common standard RL? I just got into tattoos been practicing with 3L (0.35 MM) and I’ve noticed the needles are wayyyy too skinny. So is 7RL the perfect size you wanna be at? Also like he said in the video, with the 3L I’ve noticed the lines are very shaky and since needle is very skinny it literally drops ink anywhere the needle goes, my hand can move barely a centimeter and you’ll see it in the lines from the needle. Thanks in advance man. 🙏🏼

[@NANDO3IS]

Question. Where can I buy fake skins? Amazon or elsewhere. What is a good product/brand to practice on?. Thank you.

[@gib5912]

Is the ink watered down?

[@justincredible6815]

How often should I be changing out to fresh needles?

[@BiteME8itch]

For practice? Reuse the needle for multiple sessions

[@braxtondill3755]

Link for the skins!!! The one in bio is faulty

[@KenChism-od2rf]

A couple problems I'm having is when I wipe the ink "away" it just smears up the whole canvas.

[@KenChism-od2rf]

And a lot of ink comes out. Like spills out of my pen

[@FS-dk1io]

How do you make it so it doesn’t smudge whenever you wipe the tattoo? Every time I wipe it it’s ruined most of the skin and tattoo

[@Tattooing101]

Try dabbing instead of wiping. Wiping can smear ink and irritate the skin. Dabbing keeps it clean without messing up the work.

[@dennislewis7602]

What do you use underneath the fake skin to dampen the sound? I’ve tried different things but the seem to be loud. I’m just trying to find something I can tattoo in my apartment at night so the neighbors don’t here it all night 😂

[@CherylRashid]

Has anyone used TEMU skin

[@RobDavisGuitar]

Do you do edges of thick lines first or last with bold linework?

How many skins come in a pack?

[@jakubbala3774]

I always have cracks on the (fake)skin, where i draw the line. Is it because i press to deep or is it because od skin quality??

[@elizaott8160]

I saw a video about this issue recently. It may be because your hand speed and the machine voltage doesn't ''match''. Try moving your hand faster or lowering the machine voltage.

[@fryzsolisgonzales762]

Ty for your time on all these vids very helpful

hey what fake skins do you use? Ive got some but its really thin and needle goes through to the other side without much pressure at all.

[@VetellanLaniakea]

How to clean. Mine is so dirty with paint. When i use toilet paper it's just getting bad

[@charlynoa]

It's said in the video to use a thin layer of vaseline on the skin after the stencil has dried. In another video (a Domestika course) I learned that water with glycerine soap is used for cleaning; not just paper. Also you shouldn't use toilet paper, because that dissolves to easily. Use good quality paper kitchen towels instead.

Skin deep is a good fake skin too!!

[@anadoina375]

Hello boys , I am an artist , but a different kind 🤪and I’ve been watching lately your videos - of course with the intent of learning - and I’ve made my budget list with what I have to buy to start , but I live in Holland and to order here practice skin it’s a bit pricey …. the good ones … my question is if the Amazon ones are too thin can I maybe have one under ? Maybe like this I can see also if my depth is good? May sound like a stupid question but in my life I discovered there are no stupid questions 😂 it’s just a learning process TIA 🎉

Yeah Amazon skin is very discouraging lol

[@unzin-rb6pm]

does one need to disinfect fake skins? does one need to do all that jam one does with real skins? I need to practice lines, lines, lines, shades, shades, shades. Do I need to do the whole cleaning jam every time when I'm actually just tattooing at home?

[@Tattooing101]

Yep, always clean up, even with fake skin - always try to approach your fake skins like you are tattooing a person. Builds good habits for the real thing. Keeps your setup tight.
