Hildbrandt Advanced Tattooing Techniques - Tattoo apprenticeship training

[FUUNNIIEEE]

Hi! Brian.My names Oukkie. Thank you for putting these videos on line for people. If it wasn't for people like you I wouldn't have ever learned how to do tattoos. I've been tattooing for three years now and I'm trying to be an apprentice now, but i haven't had any luck yet. But eventually I will. I really appreciate what your doing. Keep it up.

@FUUNNIIEEE Hello, may I ask how you approached "getting started" into tattooing? I'm trying to get into tattooing myself, but I would like to know how to begin, or approach the whole situation. I will probably purchase some training or introductory DVDs from the site mentioned in the video. Well, any positive feedback would be nice. Thanks!

A Tension Gage is Not Accurate, buy a meter. Those words are from a top builder.

Advanced?? Seems real basic to me.

Unless you go from 2 rubberbands to 3 when your advanced?

Anyway thanks for the vidos.

All this machine tech and devices he uses are outdated.

Please DO NOT bend the needle bar(designed to be perfectly straight.. It will chew the skin up.

His rubber band is way too tight... means you have to increase power... thus making the springs and coil work harder, which causes overheating.

@wilsonarbis  Everyone bends the needle bar or above the needles, But no one uses a tension gage !! And that is Fact and u can go ask any Pro u want cause None have ever used a tension Gage and i asked the best and many of them.

@wilsonarbis I never bend my liners but I do slightly bend the mags. The mags are always soldered slightly upwards. By bending the bar very slightly (only enogh to have the needles staight to the tube tip actually keeps keep the tention down since your dont need to have your elastices so tight to compensate. I have never had a problem with chewing up the skin this way. The only way I could see that happening is if your overbending.

see the fellow who taught me told me to always pull and its worked for me but your way make soo much more sense im gunna try it! thnx for the tips no i just need to get in a shop lol

[zstahlg]

was that a nickle for the liner AND the shder? i believe it should be a dime and a nickle, unless your using a longer stroke multi-pass liner to "build" your lines. am i wrong or is everyone else out there just missing out on what you have to say? haha

Respect for Hildebrandt machines though.

so if you are shadeing with a mag you swweep with it, rs you would tiny circle it, when you outline with a roundline round tip do you just go foward and to the sides , or can you go back too? same with Diamond tip?
