Quitting YouTube For Now. My Reasons Why.

[@StevenMoua-x7q]

Thanks for everything man you are actually the only one I was really watching them whole videos and learn from you since 2022. The GOAT for real !

[@aiyanabeautyandpmu]

creative people are expected to wear so many hats these days - artist, teacher, social media manager, influencer, KZbin/Tiktok/Instagram personality - and because of this we tend to loose outselves or at least our dreams trying to juggle demands. Good for you getting back onto the dream chasing .. I'll wait with bated breath! loved your no hold back teaching style.

[@joshm9163]

My boy going monk mode. We all have to make these sacrifices if we want to be truly exceptional. I have no doubts that you will be.

[@souportiredofthishogwash8496]

Danm man i hate to hear this. I cant believe its come to this for you brother your work is phenominal. Keep slinging.

[@Lxthick]

Thank you for everything man, ive learned so much from you over the past 2 years. You have the best channel by far man and I truly appreciate all the time and hard work you’ve put into this.

[@NemesisPlaysx]

Thank you for everything brother, Absolute Legend ❤much love.

[@russelguy3000]

It is incredibly hard to say goodbye to such a great mentor to so many in the industry however as many have said we understand and the best of luck for the future brother💪

[@JakeLewys]

You taught me how to tattoo! I started using your channel about 5 years ago when I first started, now I’m a full time self taught tattoo artist. I own my own personal studio for 3 years now. Thank you for everything bro!

[@JustinMurgasenTattoo]

Thank you for everything, hopefully I'll see you at a huge convention one day, still leading by example as always brother.

[@GhettoDac]

Thank you sir for everything. Even for this final lesson 🙏 goodluck, may the odds be forever in your favor

[@Bonita.ch1]

Don't leave us overall . From time to time ,share your news ! You are incredible artist. ❤️

[@marekczarny7959]

Hey, It’s really a shame to hear, but I can understand your decision. In any case, thank you very much for the time you invested over the years. I wish you lots of luck, success, and take care of yourself.

[@rmpdesigns9893]

I see 100% how going live and communicating/answering questions with 100s of people while tattooing can be distracting effecting results no matter how great they still are. As well as the amount of time being spent watching/talking over recorded only works to create pre done videos together and doing reviews, and technical breakdowns of your own/others work is much time spent that could be better spent focusing it towards what you need in order to reach that next peak/level your continually striving to reach/surpass. Hate to see you stop posting all together , id watch completely silent videos of you being 1000% focused in your work with no commentary/care/interaction what so ever to the cajera/viewer over all other channels. We all have to do whats we know is best for ourselves as artists in oder to be in the right headspace needed and as much time possible to reach the goals we strive for . All anyone can/should say at this junction is Thanks for giving us your time and a wealth of priceless information and good luck on your journey to reach your best self and be the best you can be at what you love.

[@Jackstonetattoos]

Preciate the teachings brotha. Your a great artist my dawg. Put trust in god and Stay solid💯

[@angelpee9155]

It’s not a good bye, more like a see ya later, thanks for all the great advice and detailed videos over the years. U will always be a legend in my books

[@bullsheeptattoo]

Yeah... tattooing has unfortunately turned into a sort of walk of fame! I remember when tattoos were super underground, shared by those who lived on the margins of society. Now it's just a trend, and everyone wants to be a tattoo artist because of Ink Master hype and some KZbinrs with Lambos saturating the market. In terms of development, tattooing is better than ever, but all this trendy stuff is ruining it. Another thing that bothers me is how people are so focused on who’s gatekeeping or not, but few notice that turning tattooing into some kind of competition to decide who’s the best or promoting a top 10 or 20 best artists is far worse. Art is not and never will be a competition-it’s a form of expression, a way to share experiences, to share with one another and so on. The market destroys everything it touches, and tattooing is no exception. I don’t want to be a gatekeeper, but it’s inevitable to feel some sadness seeing one of the most alternative art forms turn into something superficial and mainstream. It’s capitalism in its purest form, ruining amazing things by making them solely about profit. The tattoo world will never be the same, unfortunately, but I believe that in a few years the hype will die down a bit, and things will improve. Let’s wait and see. I wish you all the best for the future and hope you find what you’re looking for, but I believe that for that to happen, you’ll need to rethink some concepts and discover the true purpose of the art of tattooing.

[@OLIVERAYRE]

@@bullsheeptattoo completely agree with what you have said but unfortunately tattoo is far to oversaturated to just be mediocre. It’s the industry now. So trying to acheive the best ever status in a field is never a bad thing.

[@bullsheeptattoo]

@@OLIVERAYRE I understand where you come from but you definitely can be the best version of yourself as an artist without the senseless competition.

[@shawnr5649]

Learned so much from you and really appreciate all the work and effort as well as sharing the art and methods. Wish you the best in whatever you do.

[@Ozartz]

It's been a hell of ride bro!! We love you. Godspeed ✌🏼

[@mannyfigueroa8350]

Wow Oliver I was not expecting this from you mate however I wish you longevity in whatever it is your going to do and I hope you come back stronger much❤ and happiness to you and yours brother

[@SharlenePoole-c6p]

Really like watching your videos. I've got a machine with both hertz and volts on now so I can watch all your later ones now too. You're great to learn from. Even when some others are a closed book. Look forward to when you return with new work. Sometimes we just have to go quiet to renew, then come back with fresh ideas. Thank you.

[@mr2wo]

Damn. Made me sad. Your vids encouraged me to get on with it too. For what its worth. I feel like constructing images from the ground up without just copy and pasting stuff is where its at for me i.e. using drawing skills. The less generic the design is the better i feel about it. Obviously not every client is up for that shit though. All the best. You sound positive and determined.

[@L.I.F.E_grows]

Life always grows brother! The uncomfortable is always the best growth. You’ve helped me a long time with these videos when I was staring off and I haven’t been around to see the newer ones but I wish you the best of luck. Keep making your own luck

[@DukeCity.G]

*Hate to see you leave…. Love to see you go 🤘🏽🔥 Appreciate you fam*

[@adam_kalelioglu7823]

Brother you re already very good artist . You teach me all the knowladge i got far but i cannot get clients anymore due to economical challanges. I might start working else where as well at MC Donalds. You sound stressed brother just keep doing what you doing in my opinion you will improve everyday just showing up. Dont give up nothing bro you already very good artist.

[@j.cvaltierra2990]

Dang we’re breaking up Brodie.. I appreciate you THANK you. Go super saiyan on it!

[@mikerigger3266]

Selfishly I don’t want you to go, but understanding your journey and the path you’ve chosen, you NEED your solitude to concentrate on you (not selfish). Love ya bro and everything you’ve contributed over the years you do you (Glen Coco) You are one of the greats in my book and you always will be. Keep pushing your self for greatness my bruv all the best! I do however wish to see what you’ll be banging out. Love and Blessings sir!!!

[@happymindesign]

🥲🥲🥲🥲 you will be missed

[@mister2four7]

Much success to your future I will watch your old videos

[@goukishoto3159]

I'm going to miss your videos, I'm going to miss you ❤. I hope you find what you are looking for, see you soon bro 🙏.

[@bigdog6500]

Thank You Oliver so much ‼️ You have given so much to so many, unselfishly. You have changed peoples lives. I hope all your hopes and dreams come true. God Bless and Thank You 🙏🏻 😎

[@bigaustattoos877]

Good luck mate, you helped me tremendously over the last few years. The process is more important than the finish line.

[@adamdarklord]

I make KZbin videos also and I’m in the exact same place…. Making videos is a distraction from the main goal. I relate 100% take care.

[@GGoogla]

Brother thank for all your effort! Wish you all the best! ❤

[@chadoconnell7165]

Thank you for everything. You honestly probably helped me learn more than anyone else. Good luck to you. Hope to see more from you in the future.

[@osiris2426]

I would love to do a response video to this topic on my new tattoo channel “Osiris Ink”. Everything you are saying I completely understand, I started out tattooing awhile back and your videos helped me TREMENDOUSLY! I got better quicker, learned the craft pretty well, and overall eventually opened my own tattoo shop here in the States. What I have found in this industry is just what everyone mentioned, it is over saturated. It is also difficult to find other serious tattoo artists within the area to fill the shop. What I found is the industry’s image is… let’s be honest, shit. Due to crappy and shifty tattoo artists they have made the industry rough(er). I’m an artist in all I do, even when it comes to entrepreneurship and due to my martial arts background, carpal tunnel is creeping up in my hands rather fast. Thus, letting me know that my time is ticking being a professional tattoo artist. My goal is to open multiple tattoo shops here in the States and well as in the UK and some of those locations will be to help people get into the industry that loves the craft. The skills you have taught will not be forgotten and things will only get better from here. With this said, best of luck out there. You are one of the greats in my book, I look forward to what the future brings your way. Take care.

[@johntd4885]

Thanks for all the videos, good luck on all your endeavors man.

[@patgrogg4586]

Yo idk if I'll ever meet you in physical face to face . I've watched alot of your videos they helped tremendously . Like I sucked in the beginning and I've gotta alot better since the beginning. I had different goals . I honestly just wanted to do it . I draw basically everyday im covered in ink and I've tattooed alot of people now probably changed their life who knows really but thank you . I'm not tryna slow you down really its just would actually come home from work to watch your content like alot alot . I've saoked up alot from this channel and wish you the best

[@frankmontoya8838]

I feel like a time to time video is needed maybe not weekly but a month to month progression focus more on the tattooing aspect and not to much content your a phenomenal artist and your followers would love a month to month progression video
