✅TATTOO NEEDLES EXPLAINED.❗ Choose the correct needle for lining, shading, Color packing and MORE 🤘

[@ArtSomething]

Big thank you for all the support you have all shown the channel. There is a lot more that goes into deciding what needle is for you but I hope this video helps you out even a little bit. Its been awesome to see so many of you grow develop and share what you learned with myself and everyone here. Lets all keep helping each other out and together we will all reach our goals. Lets keep our heads up and Keep Rocking!!🤘🤘

[@soulsocietysevendestiny5273]

Love all your videos. 90% of what i know about tattooing and equipment i got from you! It would help a lot if you could show us a few tattoo stencils where you would use each of the liners/shaders. I understand art style will always vary and line-weights are subjective to preference, but im sure it would help a lot of people decide what equipment they’ll need for each tattoo. Also have you considered doing tattoo reviews? I’d love to get feed back from you!

Excellent class...newbie here, at 67 years old...thanks!

[@romeoreyes273]

i got my first tattoo machine last year with my first stimulus check and got started putting ink in my skin right away and realized i needed a teacher. then realized there is NO ONE that wants to take on an apprentice or put any work into a newbie bc of the unsureness with business due to the virus etc. so i really cant thank you enough for your videos, they're pretty much the closest thing i have to an apprenticeship. they've really increased my tattoo game sevenfold :]

[@iluvzdbz]

I just bought my first tattoo machine and started practicing on fruit thanks to your videos. I’ve been trying to find an apprenticeship but at this point I just want to start tattooing. I’ve drawn since I was a kid and this feels like the next step. Thank you for sharing so much info. You gave me the confidence to get everything I needed to start and I love it. I shared some pictures of my first try on fruit and people are already blowing me up for tattoos. This is a huge milestone for me so thank you!

[@WYZEGUYZZ]

I resonate with your story bro, doing the same on some fake skin I got in a beginners set with my wormhole set. Been getting a lot of positive feedback and I hope for the both of us to improve. Much faith in ya

You are very welcome Alondra!!🤘👍 And You gave me a good laugh cause I use to think the same thing but the more I learned the more I realized just how important it is to understand the different needle groupings and what not. Thanks for the support and Keep Rocking!~! 🤘🤘

What did you change if I may ask ?

[@evastrasburg4240]

I just started out and I sit down watch your videos and take notes. You're entertaining and informative. Most of all you are easy to understand and follow. I don't have to rewind a bunch of times to get what you're teaching. Keep doing these videos!

[@Vasilis1984]

Literally this video should be a compass for everyone starting now.. Loved every second of it.

This guy has been answering every question I have… A lot of them like to show how to tattoo but not truly explain it like this guy

[@josefinewing6381]

Nice, first video that mentions the difference in angel of the needles on liners and shaders. Thank you. Also the first one I’ve seen who mentions that a bugpin liner will make smaller lines than standards of the same number (had kind of figured that out, but still, that made this description very clear). Also, thanks for the breakdown of possible uses in a clearer way than I’ve seen anywhere else.

[@haithshaiths]

Within the first few seconds of this video ,i knew it was a good 1....Thank you for all the info...

[@IvanaSoljic]

I've been an apprentice for almost a year and I struggle with choosing my needles. This was so helpful. Thank You so much for this video ❤

[@elizabethromine2890]

Awesome video!!! I totally get it ❤😅 I was stressing this would be brutal but nope. Love the thorough explanation and comparing to painting even though I’m not a painter I’m an artist and can understand the concept easily. I am so excited to get started on my journey of tattooing

[@heathercallaway4158]

I’ve seen so many vids explaining this and this is definitely the best one I’ve seen! Or at least for the way I learn it has been. Thank you!!! 😊

[@ArtSomething]

No problem Heather glad to know the. Video could help you out 🤘

[@austinporter4285]

Thanks for this i noticed my flat mag was showing streaks and after 2 hours of working with a curved mag ive noticed that packing black is a whole lot easier, i mean like a night and day difference. It really is like a paint brush compared to the more unforgiving flat magnums and my skin can take twice as many pass overs with the curved mags!

[@soulalchemyfarm8674]

This breakdown helps so much. I'm trying to learn black and gray and it was always scratchy. I never knew what all the numbers meant. Thank you so much

[@elizabethmeulenbelt2850]

Huge thanks for the very thorough explanation. Seems I had more to learn than I realized. I'm just starting out and I'm using Stigma brand cartridges. They actually don't include taper length at all so I've contacted them to find out. I'm glad to have come across this before adding any more types and sizes of needle cartridges to my collection. Now I can make a more informed decision rather than just adding to my collection and spending unnecessarily on more. You have a fantastic knack for explaining at the brand spanking new beginner level without being condescending. It's very welcoming for those of us exploring our tattoo curiosities.
