The BEST GUIDE to BLACKOUT TATTOOING

When you tattoo black, its super difficult to get it consistent, especially when you are tattooing larger areas of Blackout. In this video I go through a few tips that have helped me achieve a more consistent blackout tattoo.
Please be aware, this guide is not a guide on how to pack black, but a guide on how to get the most consistent black for large areas

Great advice here., a lot of guys doing their own blackouts… well, I did mine, left arm wrist to top of the shoulder., right arm, wrist to 3 inches above the elbow., I’m left handed, and needed help in a few spots I just couldn’t reach., I did use a mirror, but most importantly, you have to take your time, because the stretch is seriously compromised tattooing with one hand. Use at least a 15 mag, a 27 or bigger is better., pick a 3 or 4 square inch area, and tattoo 1 square centimeter at a time, untill you get on a roll, and can widen it out a little.and use small circles. Don’t move on untill the area is saturated., if you find voids, you can hit it again, just don’t over do it., you will find that a complete second pass will really seal the deal., my blackouts are almost 2 years old, and I’m ready to start the 2nd pass, right arm first, then the left. The second pass will be easier and a little faster than the 1st., good luck you guys.

Good advice but man that was hard to read. Use, correct, grammar, please….thank…, you,.

[@Scotland_the_Brave1984]

I'm newish too the blackout and like most thought, " it can't be hard" I was wrong lol...its blacked out but faded, il have another go in time but want to learn more first.

[@darreneffle4118]

Knowledge is key . great vid

[@Max-dm3vg]

Been using curved bugpins. Can see that stfaight 12 guage would be much better. Good advice man. Thanx....

[@bartchristensen9779]

I'm having a hell of a time doing mine

[@CosaNostraBeats87]

are you doing your blackout yourself ? if so how is it going so far ? 😁 im seriously considering just starting doing mine myself lol

[@bartchristensen9779]

@@CosaNostraBeats87 I am doing it myself I'm on the second heal wait time ! Stretch is the most important and just do small circles it's frustrating but I can't tell you how much money it's saving me

[@bartchristensen9779]

@@CosaNostraBeats87 don't be afraid to set your needle depth and ride the cartridge I'm finding it's saturating better I'm using dynamic triple black wormhole machine and mast 15sm

Good video man. Started mine today, and it came out well, but I was also covering dark tattoos. Used a 39 bugpin.

[@jaredperez506]

Incredibly informative. Do you have a video on aftercare? I feel like I didn't do the best job with the first half & doing the second half session in a few hours. Thank you!

[@rastkokrajinovic5014]

Regarding dilution of ink. Would you recommend a bigger cups which get diluted at a slower rate, but you change it less often or normal size cups which you change faster?

[@jhoncastiblanco819]

Great Video 🔥

[@penguinmyoui4900]

So, for packing in general, do you recommend flat mags?

[@Redangel.199]

Thank you so much ❤

[@youngy7449]

[@fabianossioc7422]

does somebody know if a fk exo 4.0mm is a proper machine to use with a 37 flat mag for blackouts?

[@dogmaw666]

I suck at doing blackout, so I'm going to watch this and have at er on my shoddy blackout. 😅

[@zulud897]

Same lol. That shit is hard

[@RealSlackerJon]

Haha glad I'm not alone. I feel like a painter doing multiple coats 😂

[@gofukurself1575]

Yep. Way more difficult than I thought

[@Harrakirii666]

hey dude your video was amazing, my English is not the best but anyways :) i bought a Tatto maschine like 10 years Ago and i alwayes wanted to know how this crazy shit works, last month i bought a new one (Mast Tour Pro Plus) and started trying my own on my leg xD probaly not the best way to learn it, but for me it was pretty good ofc my leg dont look AWESOME like pro Tattoers but it still looks very very good, some ppl told me damn this looks amazing and crazy at the same time, and whitch guy tattoed this i said actually i was doing it by myself they was suprised , for me it worked well !!!!!!!!!! GUYS DONT LEARN TATTOING ON YOUR OWN BODDY !!! thanks bruv :)

[@Harrakirii666]

witch black color you prefer ? i use Killer Ink Black looks pretty good :)

[@ronmann1690]

I fucked up trying to do this at home myself with zero experience… can you hmu and help? I have a patchy black hand now..

[@Sean-John]

How can I properly interview a artist? I am going to meet someone to do a blackout on both sleeves and torso. Ive got sleeves and made bad decisions in picking artists in the past..

[@gfunk1386]

I need to know this too

@@gfunk1386 nobody has helped yet👎

[@kendra3595]

Consultations. Im an artist @mindofhell If you want help

[@guntheriscariot3064]

Have a look at their (healed) previous work in the style you want. Most tattooists can't do blackout, by the way...

[@benjaminlooser2301]

What voltage range do you use? and what needle Angle would you recommend? Thanks

[@DiadeLosmuertos-ij7wv]

ITS Always Different Bro,every Tattoopen is Not Like the other on

[@edoardorettore4020]

But with a blackout can u cover a one year old big tatoo?

[@Sean-John]

I believe and I'm not an artist just looking into getting it done is that if it colors it's best to wait at least 5 years so the consistency of the black is the same. That's just what I've read tho

[@guntheriscariot3064]

​@@Sean-Johnnope. A year is good enough. 4 months is good enough. I do this for a living, btw...

Yes.
