Tattoo Shading For Beginners Tutorial

[@brian1291]

Dude! Hands down the THE best shading tutorial on the net. Even better imo than those costly tattoo courses "taught by world class tattoo artist". I LOVE how you explained what, when, and how you'll best use these shading techniques for. Most ppl just say "ok I'm doing this pendulum stoke here", but never say why they are doing that

[@Tattooing101]

Thanks for the support Brian!

[@edwinsegura9457]

Na fr he's dope af haha

[@kevinsmith-wd1zj]

I agree Brian! Very helpful video.

[@chiaracrociata6472]

At what voltage did you work? Do you use different voltages for each shading tecnique? Thank you 💜

[@madisonlangley9978]

Following!! Bc I came to ask the same question

[@Bossed_up]

Good question

[@right-behind-you]

I'm my opinion, it kind of varies. When I pack I use 7.0 shading I use lower like 6.5 or even 5.0. That's just me tho.

[@Thejakehatfield]

Years later and this guy is still helping Noobs (like me) how to start out with some good quality tattoos, thank you so much for all the knowledge you’ve shared over the years, I’ll be watching it all🙏🏼

[@Tattooing101]

Jake, you're a weapon bro. keep going

[@Thejakehatfield]

@ hopefully one day I’ll be just like you brother🙏🏼

[@SeattleSuburbanDad]

I'm learning so much from this channel! I'm one of those really non artistic guys, but I'm learning how to do simple tattoos and I need to be shown how to do something. This is amazing. Thanks Brandon!

[@NEMOJA]

Great advice watched this video and immediately got better results!

[@Tattooing101]

Glad it helped!

[@EverythingsEventuall]

I tattooed myself for the first time today. A cool experience tbh

[@ashleymckinnie3238]

Needle he recommends is a curved mag 11

[@daveparido6451]

[@merlijnbell8747]

Thank you

[@Ic_truth]

Can u use a round mag for this?

[@Ic_truth]

@humberto alvarez sry I meant round shader I do have curved mags

[@CindyJames-nk2zs]

Thanks chick 😘

[@collincutler4992]

Man your videos are priceless for me. I'm just starting out and this keeps those stupid questions at bay.

[@joabpetersen7699]

Hi from Denmark......... Thanks for your how to do shading i was looking for "how to do shading teknics

[@katelyndenkhaus8845]

Question: what voltage is your power supply on when shading? Also how far out do we put our needle when shading typically? Does that matter?

[@gray_rfs]

Voltage for shading is usually between 8 and 10

[@DarellTan]

This is what I missed out..would be much better if include what voltage used.. but still love the content..

[@forestfairy352]

Thank you, I’ve watched so many of your videos and I’ve been practicing on fake skin using your advice, I outlined a flower last night and while it’s not the best, it’s definitely not the worst. Practice makes perfect and your videos keep me motivated :)

[@Onkel_Scar]

Finally! In the german tattoo community they usually make a big secret out of the techniques.. Mostly telling you to become an apprentice to an artist. - Which is easier said than done over here. Thanks alot, subscribed for sure! Greets from germany.

[@Tattooing101]

Thanks man. Yeah it’s like that everywhere lots of gate keeping in tattooing

[@mamawarrior]

Thank you!!! Knowing your light source helps too when shading!

[@brendankemunto4201]

I just started my tattooing career and shading has been giving me a hard time but after watching this video and the different techniques of shading i think imma do much better ..thanksss soo much

[@Erikali26]

Please continue these beginner classes! You have a great teaching style and someone loaned me a gun.

[@steverichardson5248]

Great video thank you!! Perhaps I missed it but some info on voltage and stroke length would be very helpful!! I learning shading right now and so far I’ve had decent results running at 6 volts with a 2.8mm stroke.

[@boosah4507]

cheers my bah, very informative and helpful whilst not being annoying like most other tutorials

[@shonuff7612]

Just discovered your channel. People have been telling me I should tattoo because of my art so my girl bought me a tattoo gun and I'm starting the journey.

[@EnkDripp]

Its definitely helping get through whatever I'm going through at this moment.....i haven't tattooed in about a year because of things beyond my control and you articulate and explain things I thought I forgot in the simplest form. KEEP IT UP 💯

[@silviaamorim4044]

[@jorgerosa3464]

I learned alot of trying to perfect my skills its just hard from how I started in prison to now my machines are old but cause we went thru a big pandemic I had to work twice as hard. My machines are out dated but I takes me twice as long and harder and heavier. I thank you for helping with my skill . I dont want to give up!

WHAT HE DONT TELL YOU IS EACCH CAP FILL IT UP WITH WATER. THATS HOW YOU GET THE LIGHTER SHADE LOL

[@Official_Talonz]

I pretty sure it's because the primary objective of the video is learning about wip & pendulum shading. There's a separate video on how to fill ink caps for shading.

Not sure if you have it in a different video, but would you be able to explain the drops? You mentioned 3 drops and 6 drops. I would love to understand what that pertains to. Thanks!!!

[@Tattooing101]

They referencing the gray wash that I use. You can check out the channel for the video on how to make gray wash!

[@zxcvbnm6669]

This was awesome..

[@reemara]

thank you for this terrific video, i hope you make another to talk about how you set up your ink.. and also how you do to blend in the outlining within the shading process, so that it wouldn't appear later, i mean to look rather closer to realistic.. thank you in advance

[@giuseppeg3672]

If you're talking about realism I don't think realism tattoos use heavy lines it's just different tones, one of the reasons it's so hard. Humans aren't made up of hard lines just contrasting shadows.

[@violettedegarmo2710]

My question is when you’re shading, are you doing the same depth inside the skin compared to lining , or do you have a lighter hand?

[@mykultrashe7320]

what do you suggest for getting the lighter color black? are you using pre mixed, dark, med, light gray wash or diluting solid black?

[@mykultrashe7320]

very helpful video, nice review of the rudiments (which i never properly learned)

[@juliehocking4744]

Excellent brother really great advice 👍👍👍

[@judichang5934]

[@casuacaloo]

What for cartridge, machine and ink brand are you using. I've seen so many videos where they barely have to touch the skin and the ink sinks perfectly, trying to find that perfection

[@JollyxToasters]

Just a question here , so you use the same size needles on here, so what size should you use and when should you use different sizes?

Study basic art fundamentals

[@official_Nez1400]

That was gonna be my question as well. How do I know where to shade?

[@zzzleepyru]

​@@official_Nez1400best I can describe it is visualizing how a lamp would hit it, where light would hit and where it would be covered by other parts of the tat.

[@steverodriguez4871]

Is there a video on how you set up your ink bcuz I know when your shading your not using same for the outline you have pure color and then next one you add so many drops of shading solution?

[@Thenumber_9]

What was the voltage you used? And does this work with the starter tattoo kits

[@jessicaelliott4328]

You would probably need to buy different needles than just the ones it comes with. The starter kits are actually better than I would have guessed.

[@Sink_Bodymodification]

Voltage varies depending on what your doing find out what works best with your specific machine.

Ive watched one of your video abiut you explaining you don't got to be artistic to become a tattoo artist ..... but can you explain on how do you know where to shade in a picture? If you understand my question

[@Ic_truth]

So use a source of light like the sun and pick a direction it’s shining on the tattoo from and create shadings u pick the sharing on where upickedthe light source
