[@davida472]

I was like 100% in all of them with weird eyes.

[@KusaKorat123]

I use the drop system- 1,2,4,6,8 drops with water and one cap of 100%

[@timsmits7923]

i wanted to ask what does 100% water do that would just irritate the skin right, but i guess u mean 100% ink 😅

[@user-lt8hv8rv1r]

100% water also most important..

[@ConservativePrincess]

​@@user-lt8hv8rv1rfor sure gotta clean them needles

[@ConservativePrincess]

@gaganpreetgahir1319 not everyone who tattoos makes content for YT. Js

[@teepaulini4589]

Also prefer witch hazel as it is a natural skin soother and i feel it is smoother mix as it contains a small amount of alcohol like the ink.

[@darreneffle4118]

i also have done it that way but down under 20 i use white instead of distilled or the hazel. great stuff Q!

[@Qinks]

Ahh maybe I should give that a go! Thanks bro

[@darreneffle4118]

@@Qinks hey bud we all gotta pass on ideas. i started with a jail house made rotary using guitar strings . 30 yrs ago. back then a lot of us didn't play the secrecy and bow down to big shots ego game. a different time. maybe 3 suppliers unless you knew a builder. keep up your clean work my friend. i really enjoy seeing your work.

[@Qinks]

Thats insane how much things have changed since then! Thank you again bro

[@Amused_Comfort_Inc]

Site recommends for white inks?

[@510heart510]

Doesn’t witch hazel burn broken skin? Poor client 😭

[@TheWIPChristian]

I’m a newbie. I tattoo myself. Tried the grey wash with the same method here and even the lightest mix (mostly water, 2 drops of black) was still black. Had to use white ink instead of water

[@strikeforcek9149]

Fully rinse out your Needle and tube tip by dipping and running clean in a larger clean rinse cup, everytime when switching between shades of greywash. (Residual ink can get stuck in the tube inkwell, even when it looks like no ink is running from the needle. When you dip into your wash, it mixes with the blank pigment stuck in recesses in the tube and then mixed in with the wash you just picked up - thereby blackening the crap out of it. It also takes lighter hand pressures, lighter strokes, and depth differences to create lighter shades. I, personally, add 3 drops of white to every wash cup to help soften and smooth the tones.

[@Genspov]

Very helpful 👌 thank you

[@Qinks]

Glad to help!

[@teepaulini4589]

Exactly how I do it💪🏻i like to have like a 3%-7%? Too...ill sometimes blend my 50 with the 3-5% to get smooth transition from 25 to 50...make a quick 35% lol

[@juanmaldonado4111]

I’m starting to learn tattooing, and I want to know what is the purpose of this

[@ibrazoto]

Different shades of black mostly used for shading

[@dysmissme7343]

I had no idea you could do that with tattoos

[@Qinks]

Crazy right? 🤣

[@josegarcia-fb3hi]

When you switch shades do you rinse and evacuate the prior shade you were using. I would like to see that prosses

[@Almighty_120x3]

Eternal ink wouldn't be my 1st choice for a self mix grey wash

[@mike_wright]

How do you get 88% left from 20%?

Plz Can use water?? Or witch hazel?

[@Deson448]

Do you always add water to your tattoo ink?

[@PomskieSaints91]

I used that method too!

[@lucifermorningstar6212]

I was like "dude what water?" until the 3rd time i watched smh

[@robertbognar4886]

Which hazel is better in my opinion holds the ink better

[@Qinks]

Really? Maybe I should try it again, I never felt much of a difference with the witch hazel

[@darreneffle4118]

i agree it holds the fluid a little better, my experience with it seemed like i was losing tone with it being thinned by a clear carrier as opposed to using white wich didn't compromise the consistency i was looking for.

[@simonkristiansen960]

@@Qinks it's mostly because witch hazel soothes the skin, makeing it less red overall.

[@gabriellaayala2937]

Is it like bottled water when water is being used? I’d never heard of using water

[@jaydendewitt6175]

Cool

[@I_am_BiG_Al]

I just filled in shading on my leg, I used 50/50 ratio by mistake and its made the outlines disappear because its so black. How much will that lighten up once healed compared to the solid black outlines? I had to continue once I realised, I've only been tattooing about 3 months.

[@inkzry]

It won’t lighten up if it’s been put in the skin right it will just fade overtime which will go like a blue ish tint

[@I_am_BiG_Al]

@@inkzry yeah it's going blue now and can see the outlines but still not what I wanted it to look like. I haven't smoked weed in 30 days now so hopefully I won't make that mistake again lol but thanks bro

[@zoon3835]

bro wat

[@mikewest7129]

I use green soap as well… it trips me how every time you say it.. people flip out… like you using 100% green soap to dilute the black…

[@Zay10337]

Sounds like you have been hurting your clients. Its has alcohol that will burn and irritate the skin.

[@Snake-snek]

I have a question, is water safe to inject into the skin? Is it just plain water?

[@Inv4derzip]

Distilled not regular

[@TrapstarWock]

Distilled bro you don’t want all those minerals and chemicals in ur skin

[@thedevil3890]

Distilled water is better, but any tap water in the US is fine.

[@arielh2695]

@@thedevil3890 THIS IS FALSE. Why because my plants who need destile almost died..

[@thedevil3890]

@@arielh2695 Ummm.... My response was in no way pertaining to your plants or anything along those lines. A plant is NOT human skin or the human body. My response was in regards to using it to dilute black to get lighter tones without it being dangerous health-wise, or terribly worse than distilled water in terms of the quality of the tattoo. And sorry, i am correct. Tap water in the US is of zero hazard when used in tattooing. You do realize our bodies absorb water while in the shower, washing our hands, etc etc right?? Also, aside from actual absorption, you ever get water in your eyes during a shower? You ever shower or wash your hands with an open wound or cut?? Also, 99% of tattoo artists who freehand tattoos use Sharpies, which is a permanent marker, and that gets injected into skin everyday. Yet no issues. During a tattoo process, ink and all its ingredients are injected into the skin. Particles of the stencil paper are injected into the skin. A&D/Vaseline/or some other during-process ointment is injected into the skin. Green Soap, or whatever other cleanser an artist uses is injected into the skin. Tap water and/or distilled water is injected into the skin. Sorry buddy, but tap water is absolutely no risk. I only use tap water, and I've tatted all over the country, and in 20 years of tattooing it has caused ZERO problems.

[@MOZYBLIXK]

What water do you use for that just regular like tap water or is a specific type thanks

[@shanteasanders9013]

Distilled water or witch hazel

[@Luhbandman]

So I’m guessing the 100% is for the outline and the rest is for shading purposes?

[@Amused_Comfort_Inc]

Depend on the art but essentially yes, in realism art there's no outlines though

[@user-iq7cv4mv1c]

You use lining blakc for black and gray ??

[@The_Cholo]

I knew one of you would be here trying to belittle someone. You have a loose butthole.

[@marleypuppydogg]

I noticed that

[@Honzoku]

And I bet you only use 1 or 2 washes and the rest are full at the end of the tattoo

[@Qinks]

Most of the time 😂 I use the last two washes the least but Its nice to have them. It also depends on the tone of the skin I am on and the tone of the tattoo as well.

[@ormoshkovich193]

Is it a regular water?

[@alately1084]

Distilled Or Witch Hazel.
