how do i get a straight line with out dots and small lines with in the line its so hard to get a perfect line. when i lay a line down its comes out fucked up. i dont no if i should just give up. ive used practise skin and its not very good to use i prefer pig skin but my tattoos always come out shit
Not sure if the comment went through, just wondering what size tube you are using and the grip cover size, i would like to try something bigger for more control
what size is the tube you use and the grip that you placed over it? My fingers are pretty long so im hoping this will help with some extra support and control
Everybody has their own way of doing things, there's no need for hate posts. The man has been making a living at this for a quite a while. Personally, I like to have my machines and power adjusted before setting a needle. I also use disposables, it's safer. Kudos to you Poppy
also its all about paying dues brother,i been in this game for 20 years im chicano and believe me ihad plenty of doors slammed in my face,but now i know why..this game is saturated with a huge amount of fly by nights,i respect this craft and the people before me that paved the way,things are kept secret for many reasons,knowledge is something that is tought not givin,also knowledge in this craft is shit unless you have the wisdom to use it,
@weffertje i would almost agree on the knowlege thing but theres more mediums now then the traditional way we both learned how to tattoo..the 1st thing i learned was how to take out the trash...lol..but now guys are coming out of art school and blowing minds
no one hating on you pimp,im from the bay and i was raised to never be no paper hater,im tattooing in europe doing a few guest spots,what im not very fond of is people who expose game on this craft,i could care if your black,white,pacific islander,japanese,i just think its right to give info out to a world of eager kids who want a way into this craft without a real forum to get the proper gaem,just couse one decides to share info on youtube doesnt mean its the truth,alot of people are misguided.
@weffertje thats cool and thats your opinion ..but many of us are seeing an epidemic of kids coming in with scarring,mistakes from artist who are just doin the best they can..so instead of sittin back with the "I HOPE MY DAUGHTER DOESNT HAVE SEX" APPROACH ALOT OF ARTIST ARE NOW HAVING THAT SAFE SEX TALK" for lack of a better example....some legendary artist are even opening tattoo schools,doin workshops at conventions and more...
would you trust a doctor who just gives surgery advise on you tube..if the doctor said some drs call this a scalpel some call it a sharp thing..would you trust him..this guys a hacker,and the reason hes tattooing from home is becuase hes a fuckin rookie-puttin blackeyes in the game-if you want to be a mechanic you go to school for it,if you want to be a barber,you go to school for it..tattooing requires years of being an actual apprentice,thanks to shit like this u get the game watered down-
@weffertje ..OOpps..in your rush to hate on me you missed the fact that my machines are guns (see the bullets in them)...lol...and i own da biggest shop in texas da kandy shop ..I employ 20 of the best tattoo artist and we all follow the highest standards..It must be killin yawl that a black owned tattoo shop is soooo successful...lol..so no.. i dont tat from home,over 23 years tattin,apprenticed under the baddest black artist Ron "Pops" Porter...(anything else)??
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE COMMENTS I GET FROM HATERS WHO CLAIM SOME SORT OF TATTOO INDUSTRY AND HOW I DONT BELONG TO THEIR NARROW MINDED CLUB..TO ME ITS MORE ABOUT THE PURE,RAW ART FORM AND MAKING MY CLIENTS HAPPY NOT THE IM BETTER THAN YOU ARE,HATEFUL,GREEDY,BACKBITING,CUTTHROAT INDUSTRY THEY PROP THEMSELVES UP WITH
Who gives a flying fuck if you called it a tattoo gun or tattoo machine, as long as you do a good tattoo job. Stop trying to hate people who want to teach others how to do it yourself.
@MMAinfussion THANKS BRO..THEY ONLY TRYIN TO FIND ANY LITTLE THING THEY CAN TO HATE ON ME..TRUTH IS EACH ARTIST SETS UP A LIL DIFFERENT DONT MATTA WHAT YA CALL YA GUN-MACHINE..TIPS-NEEDLES- TUBES-BARRELS ..THEY CLAIM TO HAVE SOME KIND OF INDUSTRY THEY DONT WANT "US" IN.. BUT THEY FIGHT AND HATE WITH THEMSELVES AND ON EACHOTHER...SO DO YOU..LEARN SOMETHING EVERYDAY ..KEEP YA CLIENTS SAFE
Love you Poppy! I watch your videos over and over. I have been practicing on pigskin and trying to learn as much as possible. I have a question, I bought a custom made machine and it keeps blowing the resistor. Is this something common with tattoo machines? Thanks for all your help!
i pulled up to 7/11 and as i got out my car this mexican dude was like yo homes you wanna see my tats? i was like ok sure, so he pulls his shirt up and shows me his back, i said they just a bunch of scars, he says yea from climbing those damn fences
@outkastt781 I ONLY APPROVED THIS SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT BLACK,MEXICAN AND ALL MINORITY TATTOO ARTIST...I GOT HATERS MAKING FULL YOUTUBE AND FACEBOOK PAGES ABOUT ME...I LOVE IT THOU (FREE MARKETING) IF THEY ONLY KNEW HOW MANY CLIENTS THERE HATRED SENDS ME...EVEN MY COOL ASS WHITE BROTHERS ARE COMING IN TO GET TATTED...LOL..
Really appreciate the info! As for the hater with the comment about not being a real artist because he called it a gun...I have around 20 tattoos from several different shops/artist and almost every artist I have been to calls it a gun. Who cares what they call it if he gets the job done clean and accurately!
@fracturedex YES I BEEN TATTIN FOR OVER 20YRS NOW BACK IN CALIFORNIA I APPRENTICED UNDER RON POPS PORTER ONE OF THE 1ST BLACK ARTIST & PIONEER BUT I ALSO HELPED BLUEPRINT,(THINK TANK) AND SET UP OTHER SHOPS ON THE WEST COAST,MOVED TO TEXAS AND WAS INSTANTLY HATED ON JUST FOR BEING A BLACK ARTIST SO I INNOVATED THE KANDY SHOP MOLD, A NEW AGE ALL DISPOSABLE,ARTIST 1ST,FORWARD THINKING SHOP..
i just have one question how far out does the needle have to be while shading cause i've seen people's tattoo's and some look more blueish than blackish, and i gotta admit that's happened to some people i've tattooed, :( i'd appreciate the help sir .
first off i wanna say your vidz are great . they dont get anymore detailed then this . im definitely new to this tattoo thing im trying to get as many pointers as possible can we get more how to info on the whole tattoo process....... maybe step by step? thanx
i just got me a pink gun :) im excited to learn how to do it i got everythang for cheep :) im a girl and want to learn im addictid to tatz and just thought id learn how to do it so i can sa i know how lol
I've watch all ur video for tips and u helped alot... please keep them coming.. i just need help with two simple things.. when i do a tattoo and i try to clean off the area i'm working on... its smears .. i have to wipe like 6 times.. do u have any tips
also, should i hover over the skin when tattooing or put the tip on the skin...
@mexicanamerican21 ..ummm i think im pretty real..one of my clients just pitched in the world series "Aurther Rhodes" i own my own shop (now open 24 hours) and i employ 22 other "real artist" who work for me..so yea..im doin pretty good as a artist with my "GUNS"
@mexicanamerican21 man stfu n quit h8n..u dont even kno da guy so wtf you got somthin to say 4 jus cause the guy black and he called the fuckin "tattoo machine" a "gun"!!!!!
@mexicanamerican21 who really cares what you call it. gun or machine, its the same thing. i think you're missing the point of the video to begin with.
@mexicanamerican21 u can call them guns or machines it really doesnt matter its wat ever u prefer but obviously og is doin sumthin rite if hes the one owning a shop and making the money to pay his artists. love the vids and your work og maybe sumtime ill come by and get a tat from u
@mexicanamerican21 and yo i jus checked out ur page all u doin is trollin n shit stop its really fucking annoying if u aint got sumthin good to say then keep ur mouth shut and chill with the n word to, u aint black dont say it.
@mexicanamerican21 lmao how do you say that im pretty sure that he is a real artist just cause he calls it a gun doesnt mean hes not a artist ive been drawing my whole life and i just started to take my art to the next level by becoming a tattoo artist with my best friend it really depends in how you look at it some people call theem guns like my best friend and some call them machines like me some call them both names
Please respond, I've just bought a kit with two guns, one liner one shader. No expensive stuff though, just about 150 dollars. To try out. But I have a really nooby question; how do I tell the difference of the needles I've got? Which ones are liners and which ones are shaders? From what I've read both liners AND shaders can have several needletips? I thought that was only the shaders, I thought the liners were only one needletip? I mean I got a whole package of needles! Someone please help!
@Spyflugan91 on the packet there will be a group of numbers and letters for eg.... 07rs this means it has 7 needles and rs means round shader other types are rl = round liner.....m= magnum also for shading and filling
how do i get a straight line with out dots and small lines with in the line its so hard to get a perfect line. when i lay a line down its comes out fucked up. i dont no if i should just give up. ive used practise skin and its not very good to use i prefer pig skin but my tattoos always come out shit

When settting your needle depth, press the bar all the way down, so that you can see the max depth the needle will be going when turned on.
