Secrets Tattoo Artists Don’t Want You To Know

[@aubreywest6926]

I’m a 20 year veteran of the Tattoo industry and while some of this is correct some of it is laughable. Tattoo artists, for the most part, HATE doing cover ups! Nothing like being handed a poop covered canvas and expected to make a Picasso out of it. We ALWAYS tell people about the sun and the water because if it looks like crap In six months it’s our name on the line. We don’t all Tattoo things we shouldn’t or things we know won’t hold up. That’s called find a reputable artist. Some of us have morals and care about clients. I’ve been cussed more times than I can count for refusing to do lover’s tattoos! I’ve never had to plant subliminal messages for repeat business. If you are good to people and do good work the addiction factor will get them back through your door. They are right that all tattoos have mistakes. I can go through top Artist’s work and easily find their mistakes because I’m trained to notice them or rather I’ve used the same tricks to hide them but they are also correct that the average person wouldn’t take notice of the mistakes in a quality piece. They are right that large pieces take long periods of time. I can do a black and gray very basic sleeve in about 15 hours but a full color very detailed one may take up to 50 hrs! They are right about women sitting better than men. Women tend to be more nervous at first where guys don’t seem to get so worked up but when it comes to working the guys tap out first. We do have far more female than male clients. Of course females are more likely to get the “in” Tattoo even after being told “this is s fad and we’ve already tattooed 10 this week.” Guys tend to get outdated fad tattoos. For instance we still have about one per month try to get a barbed wire band. Yes it’s a small town and we have a few farms but seriously! The truth is that your tattoo artist WANTS you to know as much truth about tattoos as you can because the more you know, the more realistic your expectations will be which will make you a happier customer and a better customer to work with! Oh and you can’t tell ANYTHING about an artist by their personal tattoos! One of the best artist in the world got his first tattoo nearing his retirement. Most Tattoo artists are covered in really bad crap, especially ones who started young and practiced on themselves. I am the most skilled artist in our shop and I have NO visible ink. I’ve had tattoos and I’ve have several lasered off and get this...it makes me know what it’s like to walk around with crappy tattoos and to know I don’t want to do that to anybody else so maybe that unlinked artist has simply not found anyone whose work they like that well and maybe they are super picky which means they might just be super picky about yours too! That one was just stupid. I watch a lot of videos from this channel and seeing the inaccuracy of the one based on my own field of expertise I’m wondering how far off the other videos are.

[@ashenrose2262]

Aubrey West the other ones are usually pretty far off too

[@lauriegordon2322]

Aubrey West well said indeed! if only all artists were as open and honest as yourself we wouldn't have these videos imo unfortunately we all kno a guy doin tats in his garden hut lol..peace n luv to all

[@emeraldkat2167]

I have two people I know who are tattoo artists and want some tattoos, but one just got his full status (meaning finished his apprenticeship) and the other I had a bit of a falling out with. I get eczema and I'd like some more tattoos, but the places I want them, I do experience eczema sometimes. I've yet to have a straight answer from anyone on whether I should outright avoid those areas or if I can tattoo it, but have to take extra care. Not even my dermatologist seems to know whether a tattoo would do poorly with a bad bout of eczema or not. I'm curious if you know (since you've been doing this so long).

[@maja2346]

This is a good question, I wish I knew the answer.

[@jeniwatkins3297]

Emerald kat Most derms will tell you not to ink the areas you generally flare.

[@kaycgrocks]

I’ve been to 4 different studios in 3 different countries and I’ve always been told to stay clear of the sun and open water lol I’ve never heard of artists purposely not telling people that..

[@oopsiepoopsie2898]

[@steliospasiardes678]

This video is just clickbait.. a load of bs

[@me5969]

I'm a tattoo artist in the UK and I can say we always tell people to avoid the sun, to keep putting on sunscreen even in shit weather and to keep moisturising ect. the simple fact is if someone fucks their tattoo up and they don't know why, it makes us look crap and people will see this bad tattoo and ask about it and think "right, I won't go there". Why would a tattoo artist want shit work walking around? We'd make more money off new customers by word of mouth than re-inking. Plus most tattoo artists re-ink their work for free if it needs it. And imagine getting a tat that fades, you wouldn't go back because you'd think they shit so we wouldn't even get the doe because we'd lose a customer to someone else.

[@shadowmatrix0101]

Agreed. When I got my tattoo I was given a paper with details on how to care for it including staying out of the sun and how to keep it moisturized. I was very thankful for how much they seemed to care about the tattoo they just spent 4 hours creating and after the money I spent on it. I became a regular customer because of that care.

I’ve seen an artist who had no tattoos and his work was better than most people fully covered in tattoos. You can’t judge a persons art because they chose not to get one of their own

[@liizs2863]

Of course! Perhaps that specific artist has allergies to the ink and can't get any tattoos. Or perhaps they have a hidden one. People shouldn't judge

[@TheBloodofAges]

I'd question it because most people who do tattoos also like tattoos, but who's to say it's not just a hobby to go to after their office job? Anyways, I agree. You don't have to have them to have skill.

[@danay092000]

I agree I watch ink master and this guy on the show didn't have any tattoos and a gust judge pointed it out and that episode he got kick off even though his tattoo was one of the best ones. People were mad and the other people thought it was stupid to even point it out since he was one of the best on that season

Anthony Strong well they learn all that from being an apprentice and practice. Funny how that works huh?

[@quizmo7150]

Ok, not the same. A tattoo artist who has never had tattoos might be heavy handed or set his gun too high, etc. If they dont have their own tattoos its also alot more likely that they might mess up.

[@nbucwa6621]

Quizmo 71 How does a surgeon who has never been under the knife know he's not being too heavy-handed? By learning from the patient. People have different bodies. Having a tattoo doesn't mean you just tattoo everyone the same way you were. Others need a heavier hand, others need a lighter touch. Only w practice does anyone learn anything. Yes, some choose to practice on themselves but that's because it's easier than finding someone else to let you but its not necessary to being a better tattoo artist.

[@Sirchud68]

I’ve been a professional tattoo artist for 15 years. This video only applies to scratchers and non-reputable shops that shouldn’t even be open. Of course tattooing is a business. Does anything in this video sound like good business practice? Thumbs down

[@boriszoloft5393]

Sirchud68 actually it’s a very good video. Could have been better though if they mentioned that you should check to see if the artist spore checks his autoclave to make sure it’s actually functioning properly. If the answer is no then run. They should also ask the artist if they make their own pigments. If the answer is yes then they should run. Leave the ink making to the PROFESSIONALS. If the artist doesn’t bag their ink bottles and equipment. RUN cuz they are dirty. U will know this when u see dried ink on the outside of their bottles. I could go on and on, and I won’t even go into the blood born pathogens side of things, or how some of the “professionals” reuse needle used on other customers. They just put it a autoclave bag and run it thru their autoclave again. Presto! A “brand new” dull needle. The customer sees the artist open the bag and thinks it’s shiny brand new not realizing that the artist was just too cheap to spend 2 dollars on a new needle. That leads into the actual cost of doing a tattoo. Ladies, that little hello kitty tattoo the size of a silver dollar the artist put on you in about 20 minutes that he charged you 75 dollars for? Well he has about 5 dollars in materials invested in that venture and probably just smoked more weed than u did just prior to getting the tattoo. Lolololol Oil!

Jeni Watkins thats a matter of opinion. i have my own machine and ive done plenty of tattoos on alot of people. i know what the cost is to tattoo. its not alot of money. and yes unfortunately there are ALOT of people out there runnin ink who are high. all im sayin is know what you are getting into. when i was getting into it i did my research. talked to alot of professionals. met some good people and met some complete jackasses. at the end of the day all im saying is as a customer know what your getting into. ive seen the stuff firsthand.

[@jeniwatkins3297]

boris zoloft I have plenty of ink from professional artists. So I'm pretty sure I understand the concept. I was simply referring to you last comment. The one about them smoking more than you before doing your work. The rest of your info was dead on. If they are doing drugs, you should be running out of the shop and never look back. It seldom ends well. I could care less what they do at home, but if they are doing that shit at work or just before, they have no business with a machine in thier hand.

I have 3 tats. My advice is, dont get a tattoo because you think it's "cool". Make SURE the tattoo you get MEANS something to you, even if your life changes and that image no longer means something to you, it at least represents an important time or aspect of your life. Something that just "looks cool" means NOTHING and eventually you will end up saying "I wish I had gotten X".

If the tattoo artist doesn't have tattoos, but does have qualifications and an impressive portfolio, I would trust them. Maybe they can't get one due to allergies or some other reason or maybe they just don't want one. Doesn't mean they have less skill or experience. Also, you can't always know if that awesome tattoo your artist has was even done by them. If it is in a difficult place then most likely it wasn't. Also nice, a Brendon Urie.

LH Streaming this sounds like one of two things: You are being tattooed too deeply and the bumps are scar tissue being created. Or You are allegeric to some ingredient in the sunscreen. If this is the case, try getting an organic or one specifically for sensitive skin (like aveno). I get eczema and cannot use most stuff made for my skin cause of it. It does exactly what you are talking about. Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and if you really want to know why you are getting that reaction when trying to protect your skin art, I would highly recommend seeing a dermatologist.

[@MissBlueEyeliner]

Not a single one of my tattoo artists has EVER tried to dupe me or given me any less than amazing advice on how to best keep my tattoo fresh, healthy and vibrant. They’ve made sure that the tattoo in designed in a way that lines will stay fresh and crisp without bleeding into each other and every single shop I’ve been to has had vegan ink, it seems to be standard these days.

Some people get tattoos because they like to have a reminder of something that makes them feel stronger. More over, people get tattoos because they like them.

I'm not about hating...just facts and reality unlike most people in general. Cheers to you and your (makes me so cool) tattoos. Some of the biggest douche bags on this earth are all into it.

And just pointing out that your original comment was about "one good thing a tattoo does for you or any other person on this earth", to which I gave a couple of reasons why I and other people have gotten tattoos for. If you distill all those reasons down to "people [being] really into themselves" then that's your opinion and I'll respect that you've made up your mind about the subject.

Actually a lot of tattoo inks are now vegan(maybe 20 years ago they weren't). Unlike how this guy said "vegans wouldn't think twice" um...yeah they would. Also tattoo artist 'wouldn't want you to know these things" they'd be happy if you actually understood tattoos on skin and did research or asked questions. They should cover everything in the aftercare instructions or else you're going to the wrong place. Usually these videos are okay....but this one is so misinformed.

I don't know where the idiots who made this video got their information but even crappy artists will tell you to keep your tattoo out of the sun. Yes you can cause the most damage the newer the tattoo is but even 10 years later the sun can damage your tattoos. I got my fingers tattooed with my wife's name well over 15 years ago. I had it done by a tattoo artist at a truck run and even then he did everything but offer me head to keep me from getting my fingers tattooed. I have had my fingers redone 6 different times by 3 different artists just for the simple fact on how hard it is for the ink to stay in. After the first time most of the ink on each letter came out, leaving just enough to look shitty enough to make it where I had to have my fingers redone. Of course, after I had a horrible artist, (if you can call him that) redo my fingers is, that's the time the ink stays in my skin. I don't regret getting my fingers done, I regret using the tattoo guy that did the work the last time, he did a horrible job and now the only way I can do anything to try to make it look better is to make that part of each finger solid black

[@cytyy8531]

[@abhishekbiswas5193]

The picture in 4:57 with tattoo like thing on the girl's hand is not a tattoo. It's an Indian wedding custom where brides put a certain dye called 'Mehendi'. This dye is made of plant extracts and goes off completely within a few weeks.

[@existentialdread641]

no one who worked on this video has ever spoken to a tattoo artist in their life.

This video will surely mislead people without tattoos or are planing to get one.

[@larrynoe6162]

Most tattoo artist are true professionals. They are very passionate about their craft, they don’t typically give you crap advice. They want you to have lasting quality work after all word of mouth can make a career.

[@tavicanitram7767]

The Brendon Urie pictures is actually hilarious

[@angelocolon5452]

Dude legit my fingers did not hurt at all yet my upper arm did, that made me realize that its all on the person, its not an overall fact

[@goblinish9941]

[@MrCasper900]

[@jenniferjoiner7642]

This is funny, I’ve worked in the tattoo industry for 20 years, every aftercare sheet that has passed through my hands states very clearly, stay out of the sun and use the heaviest SPF if that’s not conducive to your lifestyle. This video oozes ignorance. Ahh the ever elusive disappearing tattoo... what??? I can’t even...yes they can fade, yes they can get worn off if the placement is say, on your fingers, hands, feet, anywhere that gets a lot of use because skin sloughs itself but any artist worth their weight will advise you on that so, yeah....ignorance is running rampant here.

[@enialojuaenesra9282]

So much ignorance that they put a HANNA desing when talking about hands tattoos! 4:57 Really???

[@CnithTheOnliestOne]

[@ninaconnelly769]

Most people don't do prior research before getting body mods done whether it be piercings or tattoos. I can't stress enough that you NEED to research and be fully prepared for the process and after care. It's really simple. Think before you ink Research your artist and be as clear as you could be with what you expect. Have your aftercare available, and ask the shop if they sell any. SUNSCREEN Use a good moisturiser (don't use bepanthen, it's too thick and don't lather too much moisturiser on) Just don't neglect it and pretend it'll be alright, it's literally a wound so treat it as such

[@caspersenrich8894]

Tattoos have become such a fashion statement

[@shannonxpennywise]

I'm having a tattoo of Pennywise on my inner wrist, in three weeks time. I'm so bloody excited! ☺

[@brendan_1109]

Most people already know these... and the tattoo artist will usually tell you not to have your freshly inked tattoo in the sun for long periods of time... at least all the ones I've been to

[@Kenny-bw2cz]

Brendan _1 o had no idea about most of these. I also do not know how to cook rat soup ala- cream. I guess I find both equally stupid.

[@MattRiddell]

This is mental - what tattoo artist doesn’t warn you about sun?! It’s their artwork...why wouldn’t they want it to survive?

[@lauriegordon2322]

Matt Riddell unfortunately I've a real mess of a half sleeve gone wrong and I trusted the artists 100% my other work is great ! but artist tried removing an old tat with some zinc based formula with gun? and my arm is Horribly scarred where this was done and on front so spoils whole forearm sleeve tattoo :( any advice would be great tbh

[@ChickDasterdly]

And most artists touch up their own work for free. There is no financial benefit to wanting their work to fade so they can go over it.

[@YeahNahYeah2141]

James Black depending on how dark,detailed, and big the imagery on your sleeve is,and how bad the scarring is, you might be able to get a cover up. Unfortunately I'm not sure laser removal can be done on scar tissue

[@pinkypete6079]

Oh and vegan tattoo ink does exist

[@suzabelle-sunflower]

Peter Hill He didn't say it didn't exist. He said they usually don't have it due to how expensive it is. But some parlors do have them.

[@jemjen1372]

Tirnanog Actually most of the top brands of ink are vegan and cruelty free including Fusion, Intenze, Alla Prima, Eternal, Bloodline, Dynamic and heaps more, they're aren't any more expensive than non vegan alternatives and chances are your local shop uses vegan friendly supplies and doesn't even realise. A common non vegan part of tattooing is actually the stencil paper which often has the ingredient lanolin which comes from sheep wool. This whole video was completely ridiculous and did nothing but spread a bunch of silly misconceptions about the tattoo industry, rolling my eyes the whole way through 🙄

[@amberrhoades4247]

Tattoo's are definitely addicting, which explains why I have 11 tattoo's & plans for 2-3 new tattoo's @ all times. I've had 1 bad tattoo artist & made sure to learn from that experience by always doing my research on my tattoo artist.

[@patrickchubey3127]

The tattoo artist said " You can't be in here drunk getting a tattoo ", and my reply was " If I wasn't drunk, I wouldn't be in here getting a tattoo ".

[@bones.onfire]

I saw Brendon Urie at 4:31 and paused the video and had to re think my life for a sec

[@j.b.booker7912]

Chicks give birth. So yeah, theyve got us hands down in the pain department.

[@johnnyb6067]

Justin Booker women say they want to do it again. not so many men ask to get hit in the balls twice.

[@lewiswhalley6107]

Justin Booker yea women give birth n all but do they get ball tapped or kicked in the balls I think not

[@j.b.booker7912]

Lewis Whalley / im sure a kick in the nuts is a great day compared to squeezing a football out of a hole so small it rips to your asshole. Google fistula. Tell me what you think. And them getting prego more than once just shows you how tough they are. A nut shot is fuckin zero to what chicks go through.

[@johnnyb6067]

of course giving birth is worse. I had front row seats for both my kids' birth. I'm all set.

[@idoajda4920]

giving birth hurts more but getting hit in the balls is worse, because 1. it happens more often, 2. you get no choice whether to do it, 3. you dont take any pain relief, 4. it can take you completely suprise.

[@whathuhwhuh]

#1 - they're addictive. Lol, I'm out of here.

[@morganbarnett13]

They really are tho

[@ravensmith4722]

This is something that from what I've heard they'd like to keep secret every time you get a tattoo they give you that tattoo care package with a adhesive in it. However if you read it it says to not apply to puncture wounds. And what's a tattoo? Multiple puncture wounds. I've heard it can also draw the ink that's supposed to be staying in your skin back out, if applied after leaving the shop.

[@astrozombie2816]

Jail picked tattoos hurt more than a tat machine. Good tattoos aren't cheap & cheap tattoos aren't good.

[@xxcreepazoidxxdied560]

Brendon urie

[@SlshrX]

Been getting tats for 25 yrs. The past 2 weeks ive had 9; both lower legs, both upper arms, both lower arms (both gona be sleeves) and a few others. Yes, its highly addictive. Yes, it hurts. Yes it sucks trying to get comfy at night. Yes you get itchy whilst they're healing and yes, you can doubt yourself for a split second if the pain gets real bad whilst having it done but theres pleasure to be had after all the pain. Once all the bullshit is over and you've spent time looking after them during the healing process the final results are great! If you're a tattoo virgin and considering getting one, be sure its something you know you can live with. Dont rush the decision. Take time to really consider if its right for you and whether it may have a negative impact on your job etc. End of the day, dont be rushed, make the choice yourself and be confident to talk to the artist. He/she may have ideas themselves and may try to sway your initial idea, but stand firm unless you like what they say. Cost is also another factor. My last 9 tats come in at just under £800 and im knowhere near finished. Only spend what you can afford and ask the artist for a price. Some will be happy to give a fixed price, some work on an hourly rate (they may work slower to increase price). Anyhow, have fun and dont get something that everyone else has got. Design your own and ask the artist to mock it up for you. Remember, dont be afraid of talking to the artist. Its your body, your money.

[@jessicamcculley3884]

I really liked my tattoo artist, because he said he would do touch ups for free, made sure that I knew the best after care, let me make sure it was right before I left, and let me see that he took a new needle out of a sealed package. I don't know if other tattoo artists do this or not, but I really appreciated it. By the way my one and only tattoo is a blue vine with leaves on my ear.

[@marionmetathink3234]

"OMG how horrible is it that someone practicing a branch of work would appreciate having regular clients. I mean nobody does that. EVER!" The sun part : wtf man NO, tattoo artists want their tattoos to hold and DO tell their customers to watch out for the sun since THEY DO NOT CHARGE FOR TOUCH UPS ! Don't blame the artist for the customer for their shitty ideas, they're the ones insisting for the name tattoos. Btw cover ups isn't a sub category, it's a very tricky branch for which there should be respect. Boohoo allergies exist wow. Big secret. Have you tried hold a tattoo machine ? No secrets here move along.

[@phantomroyale8208]

At 4:29 there is a wild Brenden Urie making an appearance while getting a tattoo.... Truly a beautiful sight

[@robertwayne86]

I have to say it that although some of these are right most of this is wrong as an artist and as a tattooed person you have grossly overstep your bounds we always talk about how addictive it is we do not thrive on cover-ups never have I ever didn't name as though you said every tattoo artist ass you talk so definitively and knew nothing about the true culture I normally like this channel but I have lost so much respect

[@robertpgarcia445]

john smith I agree, my uncle is a tattoo artist in Cabot AR and he has been tattooing for around 30+ years, he's covered in ink and he's the only person who I get my ink done by, that man knows the business like the back of his hand

[@fabiobatz776]

trust me, as a tattoo artist you dont want to constantly retouch a old work that is burnt from the sun. its less fun and mostly more work and pain. theres no point in not telling costumers to stay away from the sunlight

It's not so much that getting a tattoo feels good that makes it addicting. It's more of the realization that you can conquer that pain.

[@condensedmilk6745]

I love the thumbnail

[@K87jk]

Number 7 is true but I don't agree with that that you have to keep it from the sun for 3 months,when you get a new tatt,you have to keep it away from the sun and strong light for 21 days,after that its ok if you took care of your tattoo and skin properly. And if you are asking how I know,I have 7 tattoos and my tattoo artist is 1 of the best in my city and he does the same when he tattoos himself :)

[@stigmarto]

3 months is roughly about the complete replacement time therefore the full healing period, not the initial healing period (21 days) for the epidermis in an healthy adult, so thats amount of time stated on some aftercare cards. personally I would also avoid chlorinated bathing during that time too.

[@priestess1989]

6 to 8 weeks minimum that it can't go into the sun. 3 months is preferred. Just because it's healed on the outside doesn't mean it's fully healed on the inside.

[@millerkristen57]

I HaveNoGunGame Bro man one is a tattoo artist and two is covered and just about everything in this video is true

[@apostlestraight5163]

Having 7 tattoos isn’t enough to make you an expert 😂😂😂

[@corrieplumpton5375]

I had my 9th tattoo in Feb and know it is still not completely healed though it looks like it is, as it has been itchy and risen at times these are signs that it is still healing (its coloured so takes longer than just black/grey tats). Luckily my skin hates the sun as I am fair haired so tend to stay out of it anyway but also means my first tat which is 15 years old still looks perfect with zero fading as even established tats suffer in the sun.

I don't have any tattoos, one heavy metal/biker cliche I passed by, but I find the subject fascinating and due respect for those who like it.
