  • I did my first tattoo last week and the number one thing I would say, is to try and relax, because if you are thinking that your going to mess up you can get shaky. :)

  • camera guy is shaking way more then you lol

  • percs help to calm yer nerves also :)

  • Dude I fucking love that tattoo! Inspiring

  • man thts an awesome first tattoo im an apprentice from england i hope mines half as good i bet ure getting pro now like A BOSS :)

  • 'tallica

  • lol 4:07

  • he is good man for the first time i watch this video for confidence cant wait to start tattooing. oh yea nd the music in the backround is perfect for a tattoo shop

  • Doing my first tattooe on my bf next week =] suppppah excited

  • Don't look like you were going very deep man, I bet she faded a lot.

  • Ohh, my God it is hard to do your tatoo up your own...

  • Good job with your first. You probably have your confidence up by now to some great pieces.

  • i did my first tattoo on my own thigh too.. gotta start some where.

  • look at his shaky hand lol its his first one so i guess its not to bad? i was shakin on my first one to but not that bad lol

  • haha, nice job for your first brother.. Keep it up!

  • So this is all he had to do for an apprenticeship!?!?!? LUCKY! >:[

  • Nice art , looks good for a first time :) good song too :P

  • the shakiness doesn't even matter.. He's not using a machine bag or clip cover.. Thats disgusting

  • @SunshineFkYou Really if you clean your machine before and after you tattoo you dont NEED a cover or bag.

  • @FUCKXVXSCENEKIDS yes you do jackass is called cross contamination, especially the clip cord that tends to touch a lot of skin.

  • @LegacyTattoos If you clean your cord and machine before and after you tattoo you'll be fine. Just like your surfaces.

  • @FUCKXVXSCENEKIDS clean? sorry redneck a ligter and some alcohol dosent cut in my industry, the only way i use something more than once is if i throw it in an autoclave and then an ultrasonic cleaner. and obviously you can put a rubber cord in an autoclave so i always bag it and seal it. i dont need to clean my surfaces (i do) i cover them with plastic wrap, then the dental paper then seal it down with blue tape. then when im done i throw the material away and wipe it with a powerful germicide.

  • @LegacyTattoos I dont clean my anything with a lighter and alcohol big guy. I use disposable tubes. I cover my surfaces with dental paper/bibs/plastic wrap, just like you. Then I clean EVERYTHING with germicide. Including my machine and cord.

  • @FUCKXVXSCENEKIDS germicides can't kill everything, thats why you put the cover on so it even further reduces from having contact with any contaminates. just saying, bags and covers are where it's at.

  • @FUCKXVXSCENEKIDS by the way you have the best screen name ever. fuck scene kids

  • @SunshineFkYou

    he is tattooing his self clam dwn as long as he is not using it on it on others then i dnt think its matters

  • @SimplyDestiny018 yes it does matter thats not the last time he's gonna use that machine or clipcord so it matters a lot, it's not only for his protection it's for the others that could come in contact with that machine, aso just because it's on his self dosent mean it's not gross. that's like me pissing in bathtub and swimming in it and saying "it's not gross because it's it's mine"

  • Thats soooo unsanitary -.-

  • this give me a goose bumps :/

  • tekila is good for a shaky hand

  • @mrspdgonzalez Everyone talks shit about me doing tattoo's drunk but that's when i do my best work, my friend insisted I do his tattoo sober and I fucked it up lol.

  • @mrspdgonzalez Hooked on Phonics is great for people who spell Tequila wrong.

  • @davehayes2204 comprehend how hard that is? lol my first day with a machine i was doing stuff better than this lmao practice drawing if you can drawn you can tattoo

  • ok look @ elj1992 to stop your tube from pushing out to much ink just dip it in the ink cap and press the pedal two times and make sure to do that every time you stop

  • yes you always go from bottom to top as not to whip off the stencil, and i was shaking doing my first tat too. great job.

  • i did my first tattoo on myself the other daay in the exact same spot.i want to learn to tattoo myself first instead of fucking someone over.im having a problem geting my lines to stick on the first pass and it seems like my tubes are pushing out to much ink like there bleading out..any advice?

  • @elj1992 Wish there was a response to this... same problem! :(

  • @greatbeartiling .yo im having a little better luck.heres what i did made sure i had the proper tube with the proper needle made sure the tube was clean and ot clogged.then i played with that tension screw for like 4 hrs til it started to work to my liking.this was with the outliner havent touched the shader/filler yet..[good luck man]

  • his hands are shakeing like that because hes holding the machine awkward , i was the same when i started . everyone has to start somewhere and atleast hes tryin on his own body

  • hahah i did a skull in same spot with my first homemade rig, it looks just like a pro,just a few 100$ cheaper :]

  • my first tat i did on my self was fuckin drawn on w pen haha and i wasnt nervous about fuckin up more about like passin out or some b.s.

  • Thx

  • haha ur crazy ... wich song is it ???

  • @sweetsoullover Its called St Anger by Metallica

  • Looks good, gotta cool design there too man. Had to watch it on mute tho haha, you seriously couldn't find a better metallica song? Jokes aside, what equipment are you using there (specifically machine and power supply) Also curious what needle you used.. I've started inking myself too, just haven't gotten around to recording anything yet. It's a learning work in progress, keep it up!

  • its cool i tried doing my first tat myself last week and i was almost the same, less shaking but nervous none the less

  • lol when i started it was the same shit, i did a heart on my leg with shading and all and i waz shaking like a bitch

  • Keep in mind , As much as people say Tattoos dont hurt.. hes Going too be in a little pain! so shaking is Expected ..  on top of that its his first, id be a little nervous too!

  • Keep in mind , As much as people say Tattoos dont hurt.. hes Going too be in a little pain! so shaking is Expected .. on top of that its his first, id be a little nervous too!

  • @MsBlacksphere wrong.. its not his first one, he already has one on his right calf

  • @92fonz  FIRST ONE HE'S DONE HIMSELF. i would For sure be nervious too.

  • Not bad little shakey little to much needle hanging out keep it up

  • hey great vid,i always find a touch of vasaline on the bottom of your machine hand helps ur hand to slide so you can get those lines in nice and smooth,keep the vids coming thanks again

  • Some people judge, but i say 'Why not?'... I did same thing i inked my own skin on my knee. Felt much less nervous than if i'd be inking somebody else. Of course some problems in couple of places, but nothing un-fixable. Actually i seem to enjoy it too much, 'cause it came out better than i expected. Couple of more on my legs and I'll feel comfortable to try and seek apprenticeship at some shop around here, especially since my stencils getting very decent. I'll be rdy for ink-slave labor.

  • i dunno if its the video but ur machine sounds crappy like its not hittin hard enough..

  • Done ok,my hands shook like f**k on my first,only thing i would say is start nearest to yourself at bottom of stencil so not to distort the stencil with your hands before you got the line in,and if you stop in middle of line start a bit back where you already got line in so you dont notice the join.

  • metallica

    

  • You still ink with that much needle hangin out?

  • The shaking goes away after a few minutes.

  • hmm rock,ambitious start,i did my first selt tatoo(vsmall) in a french lesson,but i like techno.

    nice job

    final thought,

     rubber gloves on yourself?

  • @crazygeorgelincoln yeah rubber gloves still keep your hand clean

  • Not too bad. It maybe me but it looks as if the needle is coming out a little too far. Anyway, nice start!

    SERPO

  • hey u can always fix it when u get getter u gotta lurn some how deep respect 2 u man

  • great dude,,i wanne buy a machine to, and start tattoo myslef dude,its kinda psycho style,but its hannbal lector style, se here my vid,

    youtube.com/watch?v=mrGlWLS4Je­k

  • to be fair, his lines look pretty solid, and considering it was his first time tattooing himself, id say he done a pretty good job! good design choice too, u can get away with shakey lines on a skull tattoo. well done mate, knowing a camera was on you probably made u feel a little more pressure. le me know when u have done a vid of u shading it! keep on keeping on ! PEACE.

  • dude, your artist friend should have you riding the tube instead of controling needle depth by hand. In other words, just enough needle hanging out so that you can press the tube tip to skin and just slide it along. That way the shakes wont cause blowouts.

  • @andycoursey i agree way to much needle sticking out!

  • @TheNuclearfrost i agree

  • GET THAT CAMERA OUTTA MY FACE !!!! haha oh man nice one! shakin an sweatin yeah been there

  • hes shaking like an old man bouta die

  • dude you fuck up your shacking like a bitch

  • What kind of machine did u use?

  • shakey hand bro..least your learning the right way.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm really glad to see this on here. All pros know that this right here is the true right of passage for an apprentice. As it was once said to me as an apprentice, "You have to be able to inflict pain apon yourself before you are ever allowed to inflict pain on someone else." :)

  • I just started too man...I shook like a SOB...good work for your first one man...for real.

  • He is tattooing his own leg, you can't blame him for shaking. It doesn't mean he would shake doing it on someone else.

  • fuckin hell i can remember my first tattoo man your first load of tats r definately gonna be shit man its all about confidence really and thas gonna take about 8 or 9 tats next thing u kno uv lost count man

  • when your shaking that bad, sometimes you can stretch the skin with the back of your left and hold your right with your left hand, i found that helped me when my hand shook

    and i love the design, savage skull, you can never have a bad skull, the worse it looks, the better it looks, lols :D

  • this is what i like to see a person who has actual talent and skill to be able to pull off something like that not some untalented dumbass who tats a happy face or a just some stupid line i like talent like you have and by the way nice tattoo gun !_! i can only make rotary machines so far !_! !!!

  • the bad ass thing is even with the bumps it just makes the skull look even more mean and bad ass lmao

  • Idiot

  • not too bad a job what ya did there on yer leg

  • idiot 

  • good on ya

  • does the needle have to stick out that much?

  • @norteno209x4 yep, thats a good trick, it makes it harder to guage depth, but makes it far easier to do nice clean lines, easier to see exactly where the needle is

  • hey... wut kinda needle did u use to outline ur tattoo??? which one is the most used choice for outlining???

  • how deep did you go, my first time i had the needle sticking and making little dots

  • man i remember my first time i tattooed myself i was shaking just like this guy

  • yeah gettin them jitters sucks when u self ink but that's a decent job done. Good design choice too because a few shaky lines aint outta place so much on a skull like that but overall that's pretty smooth lookin curves u did. key thing is to not hold ur breath and tense up trying to fight shakes. breathe deep and relax

  • amazing!

  • i'm surprised metalica haven't sued you for using the song!

  • @krissthemusicman ,right?im gonna sue you!!!

  • I'm not a professional but I think that you ware moving that machine too slow and that damages the skin more...btw that skull is sick,I really like it......

  • damn dude tht looked pretty solid to me lol

  • hey im putting my first tattoo in the same spot

  • Sick, thats dope for your first tattoo.... my first one looked like shit........well they still look llike shit...LOL

  • Well you wish you were good if only you got a second opinion besides your own, seems as if you have lots of time to waste? If you have some more time to waste then you can show me how not to tattoo, i would enjoy that ; /

  • lol that is wat i was like wen i did mine on me leg

    proper hard trying to concentrate cuz u cant stop shaking

  • Jeez Your'e Shaking Like I've never seen before XD

  • not to bad but damn you looked pretty shacky and i agree with you people i think tattooing yourself doesn't hurt. Your to concentration on getting it done and paying attention to think about the pain. yet again the pain of tattooing feels amazing

  • i think tattoos hurt less when you do them on your self

  • @oursilent i totally dissagree

  • @NetoTattooz so you think it hurts worst when you tattoo your own body i barley feel it when i do it myself

  • My advice would be to listen to tattoo training he gives constuctive criticism and hes not a typical tattoo wanna be rock star that just comes on here to bash us " scratchers"

  • Good job u will be more steady after a couple of them so fuck all who hate on you let them

    They mad u got some talent n u can work of needle many do so fuck the one who says work of tube let his nube ass do that while u blow up n susceed

  • @Headshothorror4488 Actually this dude knows what he's talking about but i guess if you go around putting shit in peoples heads that they will be famous for doing inadequate tattoos and they actually take your advice then they get what they deserve TATTOOTRAINING is 100% correct but when you know it all already how can you be trained....?

  • @pearse984 Not to sure what your point is ? But no one knows it all and cant be taught more and if they think so they no nothing of the art, but if u mean my advice well when i give advice to people they take it and get better , eeryone tues diferent but im not sure what your talking about , do you need help?

  • @Headshothorror4488 My Point is don't talk shit about people that are giving constructive criticism! Why would you say to someone who clearly has no talent that they have talent and fuck all who hate? You make it seem as if this kid has some talent and he is on his way to Hollywood, not true. Being an artist is something you must constantly work at you wont be blowing up anytime soon from doing some outlines. Coloring books and crayons are fun but they wont make you rich & famous!!!

  • @pearse984 I didnt say that , i ment its his first , he can get better with knowledge on tattooing , everyone starts somwere , why hate and shit on somone , honestly that wasent too bad for a first tattoo im sure he has much better lines now , and why go around and talk shit to people and say they suck when allot progres , with art skills and basic shit is needed but , point is it wasent that bad but so why shit on the kid

  • @Headshothorror4488 Well then don't make videos if you suck!!!!

  • @pearse984 What the fuck are you talking about , i dont have videos and im fucking amazing, u suck , and stop wasting my time writing nonsense to me

  • 3 QUESTIONS 911 TRUTHERS DON'T WANT YOU TO ASK THEM:

    How many of Architects & Engineers for 911 Truth's 1600+ architectural and engineering professionals have experience in structural engineering, high rise construction, or controlled demolition?

    What did Hani Hanjour’s flight instructors have to say about his flying ability?

    Who was Ali Mohamed and what is his relationship with Osama Bin Laden and the CIA?

  • i agree with tattootraing.that needle has to much throw.shitty man looks like hes doinfg it in a shop .someone should give heads up..wtf

  • took 5 seconds and you lay your arm on it ? did you scrub up be fore you gloved up?

    a first timer should not hang that much needle out you have no sense of depth riden the tube is safer . that aside you did an outline . now do the next tat without a the outline

  • Comment removed

  • boooooooooo

  • gotta keep that hand steady holmes

  • ha ha the shakes my worst nightmare. only shake when im doin myself though

  • this is pretty good =] i remember when i did my first tatt on myself i was shaking too...accept i almost erased the hole stencil and had to freestyle it but it still came out good...yeah always start from the bottom up.

  • @yomamasofat87 what was your first tattoo of mine was the predator and i erased half as well because my guns was gushing so much it's actually still half finished i'm going to improve my skill before i try to free style that shit though.

  • hi mate have you tried to use uv ink i do them my self but have a hard time with it can you help me.And cool tat and you will get the hang of it like me i just done my back arm at this time. cool

  • dude good work i know tattooing yourself is a bitch its so much harder when you have to keep ur hand steady and work threw the pain, plus you cant position yourself differently so sometimes its hard to get angles

  • its way better to self tattoo...

  • thats a bad ass picture though, no doubt.

  • u shouldnt never start from the middle lol

  • hands were shaky but i can honestly say you did a decent job. i've seen worse.

  • AIDS

  • good for the first time.

  • that was better then my first tat i ever did

  • he didnt even shave the area he was working on and he in a studio ????????? jus thought always shave as hair has baterias thas can cause infection and lead to bad healing????? or is this wrong?

  • he has shaved, u can see ir clearly ur must need glasses )).

  • tattoos' are so old school

  • i think you did really good, my first outline looked like shit and there was ink everywhere. whats it look like now though

  • what size needle did u use? and what do u have the machine set on?

  • if youre right handed a good idea is to start in the bottom right corner of the tattoo gradually moving up to left top. that way you dont smear or wipe away your stencil.
