✅TATTOOING LINES❗❗ HAVING PROBLEMS TATTOOING LINES ❓❓ (on fake skin)👀

[@dillonwestbrockwsetbrock380]

Unfortunate to think about all the aspiring tattoo artist who gave up feeling helpless before Dave started creating such genuinely helpful and thoughtful content. Shout out Dave.

[@JeffreyTre]

i mean if u work in a shop there should be someone that can tell u these things

[@teiwazthewarriorgod9370]

I recently started tattooing after practicing on fruits, fake skin and even a pork shoulder. Your videos have made all the difference in the world for me. I’m disabled (paralyzed waist down) and was having trouble using a conventional power supply, then I saw your review in one of the pens and it changed the game for me! No need to push a pedal for a person who can’t move his foot is a life changer! I’ve watched most of your videos and keep coming back every time I hit a snag. Keep up the amazing work

[@ArtSomething]

Thats amazing to hear the wireless power supplies have changed the game for you as im sure a foot pedal would make things very difficult in your situation. And thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel it really is appreciated. I wish you the best of luck and keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@vandl107]

Awesomeness!!! Love the go getter spirit! Inspirational to say the least. I'm doing my homework too.🤘

[@kimberly25christinesmith72]

There's some power supplies that bypass the foot pedal and just stay on the whole time like the battery pack. I got a mast dragon hawk machine on amazon for 100 bucks and if u hold the power supply power button and it stays on. Can't afford a good wireless machine

You can just push a pedal with your other hand

You know what you’re talking about and most importantly, you know how to explain it and teach it. God bless you for ever and ever. You are truly the best! Hope you continue on sharing your knowledge with people like me. God bless!

[@jayraymondmgtow4200]

How do you practice on this skin?!! It’s TERRIBLE! I’ve tried 3 different kinds and they all suck. They don’t hold ink, I gotta press hard and go over the entire thing twice. Also trying to make straight lines and even make circles is a pain in the ass with this skin. It’s too rough. I’m very new to tattooing and this stage is very discouraging. I’m not going to give up but how can I get better when the skin is not helping?

Thank you for continuously putting out awesome content. I’m curious about proper angles for how to place the needle in the skin or hold the machine. Is there a video on that?

[@Thesamurai1999]

If you’ve moved too fast, can you go back to it and move slower? Or are you not allowed to go over the aame line multiple times to enhance it?

[@tamarabryan5410]

Your videos are really informative and helpful to those struggling with line work. One of the things I picked up on is the type of needle cartridges you buy. For a long time I thought it didn’t matter what equipment you use to tattoo with. I was wrong. I takes quality needles to be able to pull clean lines ,like Kwadron needles. That’s all I use. The needle stays put when you pull the lines, unlike other high end needles there’s no wobble,so your not fighting to put in clean lines. Thanks for the great videos

[@unkownexplorer7522]

Had my machine for about 2 weeks now , havent been practicing as much as I'd want to , and I've been struggling so much with the lines it made me want to give up 😂👐 but this video made it abit more clear as to way it's happening and now I feel so much better can't wait to practice again this afternoon ❤️ thank you so much for the video it helped alot

I understand that as lines are the first thing you want to learn and learn somewhat well but it is also one of the hardest things to get right, so dont beat yourself up just keep at it.

I watch your videos a lot, i have really bad adhd and i absolutely love how you explain stuff because you make it all a lot less complicated. Yesterday i gave my sister her first tattoo (simple) but like it came out great, and this video also helped a lot (also your video where you talked about speeds and which one is right for you, really helped out) i think my only issue now is how i should position myself if im tattooing certain parts of the body.

[@ArtSomething]

Thats awesome to hear the vids have helped you out!! And congrats on your first tattoo. And yes getting the right position can be difficult at times but that is part of the learning process. The more you tattoo and the more locations you tattoo the more comfortable you will get. Keep at it and keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘

[@wtlcw1oo8]

Wrap the fake skin around a roll of paper towel and tattoo on there. I find a few benefits from doing that. I don’t damage my tattoo machine by potentially going too deep and on to a hard surface. Also the roll of paper towel somewhat imitates the curves of a limb and its a better simulation than tattooing something flat. That’s how I did it.

[@dylankadow8428]

Great job explaining things! You mentioned a video on stretching. I will stretch significantly and yet I notice the machine isnt hitting and I tear the skin a bit more than I would like. I got the Bishop wand which hits amazing and that doesnt happen as much. But sometimes. I noticed that if I dont wash out my needle before switching to another then come back it doesnt hit as good. A video on how to stretch on different skin locations would be dope. I also noticed that tatting black skin gets really puffy and hard to tell what ur tatting. I think it has something to do with the melanin releasing inflammatory cytokines as it is a protective mechanism. Anyways. I always feel like im trying too hard to stretch compared to the live videos of artists yet their lines hit first time.

So how often can you tattoo yourself I want to use my leg is there a proper wait time

[@ArtSomething]

I wouldn’t say there’s a proper weight time in between tattooing yourself. I would say after you tattooed one spot I would let it heal before you tattoo that same spot again. But as long as you’re not tattooing on top of a tattoo that’s healing you should be fine.

Thank you so much for this!!! I had watched it a few monts ago, when I was practicing on fake skin, and now that I tattoo humans (my lovely and supportive friends and relatives) I can apreciate the précision and richness of info you give us here! Now, the problem is:I get pretty décent lines and lovely blended colors when I tattoo someonelse, but the two attempts I have made at tattoing myself turned out into Jack the Ripper tattooing. I LITTERALLY DID À DAMN SCARIFICATION of my leg ! Took 3 weeks to heal, it looks good from a distance,it was à draw I did myself and so I am happy. But it is packed with inconsistencies, blow outs and différent saturation in lines. I am someone with à thick skin and very high pain tolérance, so I decided to do a second attempt on the other leg,TRYING not to repeat the same shit. So, I reduced needle throw, stretched the skin properly and took my time. Well, línes are crispy and Nice, but my attempt to use à round shader to pack color (Light Green) makes my calf look like a buffalo wing. LITTERALLY hoping I am not getting a nasty scar there. Anyways, just sharing my story so that nobody looses motivation ! Love from Spain!

I've needed this so so bad. I'm starting to learn and practice and after a time on fruit I did my upper thigh. The ink wouldn't stay and the lines were so thin! It's completely different practicing on fake skin and fruit then trying real skin. Maybe I wasn't stretching my skin enough? Over all, I was able to fit my tattoo enough to look pretty good. I'm still upset that I don't have an answer as to what I was doing wrong. My speed was up correctly, I had enough ink, and my needle was out the right depth, so I have no idea what I was doing wrong :( But this video was so needed!!! Thank you for your work!

omg thank you so much for this video! I never knew about that vaseline trick. Would you recommend using vaseline on real skin throughout the tattoo as well? Also i read in the comments that sometimes its the ink and it may need to be diluted. I use dynamic triple black ink. do you think that is ready to use? Thanks again for these tips!

[@ArtSomething]

No problem Naomi im glad the video helped you out. And yes you can use Vaseline during a tattoo on real skin as well. The triple black may make it harder for you due to the fact that it is a thicker ink and can make things a little more messy. I use dynamic black not the triple black. Not saying triple black is bad cause its not, but when you see me tattooing on fake skin im always using Dynamic black.

I have been found using 5rl is my comfort area but I want thicker lines so I am trying to use some 9rl I am having a strange results where it's a decent line and saturated but you can see lines within the lines like each point of every needle. I'm not sure what am I doing wrong. Could it be the type of needles I'm using or maybe my hand angle? I'm stumped because I don't see that with other needle sizes I love your videos. so helpful!

This vid literally saved me man i was having this probs for almost 2 months now before it was all good but something happened for some reason why my lines isn’t that bold looking when i tattoo, i run my machines on 7.5-9volts and i use floater technique when i line. For me i think this vid also applies onto real skin and again thanks for this man u just saved me a ton of time, keep em coming brother cheers from the philippines 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Also my tattoo handspeed is kinda fast, what are ur opinion with me running my machine at 7.5-9volts with semi fast handspeed thanks again brother

Love your work, but I have a question, have you ever tattooed someone with excess skin or where the needles just don't feel like they penetrate well?

[@ArtSomething]

THank you Miche! And yes I have tattooed those areas. And what I can say is that the needles are bouncing more then usual and its hard to get the needles to penetrate properly. So what I do in these areas are of course get the best stretch you can, but also turn your voltage up a little more and throw your needles out a bit more as well. THis will help compensate for the bouncy/ loos skin. Hope this helps and thanks for the support!! 🤘🤘🤘
