[@stevenmoll8709]

I love this channel I've only been practicing for like 3 weeks and I'm already getting better thanks to these guys especially my line work

[@Tattooing101]

Awesome, keep up the progress!

[@Dissident0910]

Bro i hope you take this as a compliment because that in the intention. You are the Bob Ross of tattooing! Thank you so much for everything you do.

[@Tattooing101]

Wow, thanks! Being compared to Bob Ross is high praise 🙌🏼

[@deetee5861]

UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you for breaking it down so well. I can't wait to give it a go!

[@chadredding111]

Wow man. I have been watching ur vids for the last 3 or 4 weeks and have learned so much from you. You have such great talent. Great work and keep bringing out tutorials. I have been watching them all. Thank you

[@musicmaze640]

Would love to be able to see the stencil/photo as an insert while you're inking so we can see what you're looking at (ie. at 6:20, you say "And we can see that there is a very light area right here...", but we can't). But super great video to watch. Amazing.

[@Mikester85]

I was thinking the same thing

[@stacyhughes5496]

I love your work and you explain/show it really well

[@Drakenah]

Awesome ♡ thank you. Learning greyshading ….. Was just about to ask you to make a video on it; this is great. Cannot thank you enough

[@Tattooing101]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrisrobins2705]

I currently use a 4mm stroke machine for my black and grey and it's better then ever. I can get tones in faster dealing less trauma to the skin and the tattoos have been healing up faster . But then again it all comes down to hand motion riding the ocean ..wax on wax off type stuff !

[@squidgames3015]

He doesn't stir/mix the ink? The white is floating and the black is on the bottom not being used...

[@shawnomack45]

I think because he is shading with it

[@kevinstrosnider1545]

Yes I'd love to see another realism video. Maybe how to do animal fur. This has to be the best video on KZbin for realism. I've watched this video 4 times now! The way you break everything down. Realism is something I want to try, never have I done realism. I'm not the best at drawing portraits so I always figured realism isn't my style. I'll never know if I don't try and practice. So with that being said I'd love to see some more videos just like this one. As always much much respect Brandon. Oh by the way on your short 50 thousand subs video you were in West Virginia. Do you remember what part of WV looked familiar almost looked like the rest stop off RT 81.

[@tyquanartis6937]

30 million that perfect we'll this is the best channel, I ever watch anyway.

[@brad8284]

Please do more of these longer tutorial style videos. They are so great!

[@JamesBath-m7g]

I liked this video as I do with most! My only suggestion or ask would be to split screen like a little cube where we can see the reference photo.

[@xrpslinger662]

Nice video Brandon...why can't you use the axys valhalla on real skin? I think you mentioned that. Thanks

[@fernandoj.mirandaramirez2156]

Same question!

[@Tattooing101]

Because their disposable grips don’t come sterile so in order to use the machine on human skin you would need an autoclave but if you have one, you're good to go.

[@brycehansen119]

I'm just starting out love your work brother would love to see more I'm a us army veteran severed in Afghanistan could you do videos of Fallin soldiers I think that would be dope brother

[@Carlzday]

thanks for your tutotial, id love to see a tutotial on smooth color blending and smooth transitions ... like a sunset, or firey phoenix with briliant reds, oranges and yellows

[@Michenseki]

Do you ever need to line realism tattoos, maybe with a light grey wash? I was wondering how artists preserve the stencil for a realism tattoo that requires multiple sessions.

[@sarag1158]

This is an amazing question. I'd also like to know.

[@mr.nugget4458]

I heard they line with water but it only lasts like a few days

[@sarag1158]

@@mr.nugget4458 interesting. Thanks for replying.

[@papajupri1070]

I'd probably use his lightest grey to line it (a drop with three drops of white)

[@tommylourdes5652]

So in my experience: there are water lines/blood lines which are essentially invisible a few days after the session which we use to map out many larger realism/surreal pieces. And there are ghost lines done with either a very light wash, gray ink or even a piece powder blue. As long as the lines are eventually absorbed into the edges and values smoothly, there are many technique for lining realistic tats

[@elieme7719]

Thank u bro ! Great videos ur helping us a lot! Can u please do a vid how to do fur and others realism like faces 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

You can check out the reference in our previous video on how to make a realism stencil kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIDUm2SPoKukf8k

[@florenciajerez8108]

So it's better to do lines only at the end with this type of realistic designs?

[@maddyzam3]

How many drops would you put in each ink cap if you were using the small ones?

[@davidfranco4991]

IM HEATING UP NOW!!! 😇🙏🔥💎✨🥷👑👁️😁

[@Livano_music]

@tattooing101 Thanks for all the tutorials you make. Awesome work!! Small tip, it might be easier for projects like this to pin a small screen of the original at the bottom right of the screen so that people can see where you are in the project and what you are doing. Maybe then people will understand some parts better

[@Tattooing101]

I think we will start to incorporate that in future videos!

[@davemelo2143]

can you do a vid on color realism? thanks for all the content

[@revitalmikles6689]

thanks so much ! do you recommend using white in a human allso?

Yes, when used in the right way it can really help to make a tattoo pop.

In your video you mentioned that you were using the axys Valhalla, but wouldn’t use it on human skin, can you elaborate why? I’m trying to get into the business and doing some research into what kind of machine I can use, and what is a good all around machine

How do you get the perfect needle depth when your mostly all wrist and no figure right underneath the cartridge? Like does that matter if your using a meg or a rounded shader

[@xHOLLlSTERx]

Please do a lion realism tattoo.

[@claythomas1133]

Is it a cleaning issue? I replace the inner gasket and "plug" as someone else called it every time i use it- they only cost a dollar a piece- and autoclave it between clients. Is there any other issue i should be aware of??

[@markkavanagh5278]

Hi can you tell why when doing a black and gray That you use a light first then a medium and then black Could you nor just use the black first Regards Mark

Wow, mindblowing video, but sidenote, you ask for it xD but can you make an animal with a lot of fur, like a lion or a bear, i really struggle with fur, and i want to understand how the hell realism fur works. Thank you btw :)

[@ThePatriotParadox]

Why can't you use your adjustable stroke machine on people? Is it just that machine, or just one with adjustable stroke?

[@claythomas1133]

Why can't you use the Axys Valhalla on an actual client?? I'm really curious bc that's my main machine and I'm wondering if there's something wrong with that particular machine that I shouldn't be using it..?? Please respond!

[@Eternal_Tao]

Great video! As an apprentice, I appreciate these video's a lot! Are there risks of scaring, when it comes to realism tattooing? Specifically when it comes to shading over areas multiple times? Thanks.

[@gim_tonic3394]

That’s why u should use bug pin and especially long taper set up for the needle, less stress to the skin and much smoother application and texture, the only problem u will really found out it’s the needle depth 2 mm is too much 1 mm is too little

[@iago7379]

Great video, you guys are amazing. Which round shader are you using? 5, 7?
