  • Man this is great nice vid iam trying really hard to get into a shop to teach but no one wants they my art is but we don't need u that hasn't stop iam. Just thinking on learning on my own do u think its a good idea

  • I want to start tattooing, and your videos are more interesting and well elaborate on what I need to know for the future as a beginner. I haven't bought any supplies to be honest not very much educated about guns, if you can put a vid up about that and more safety get down it will be greatly appreciated..

  • Hey! Don't talk about that eBay 40$ Beginner Kit. Because, Not to lie but that actually made me of who I am now with Tattooing. I suggest you too buy a beginner kit first if your new & unfamiliar with tattooing. Now in the process of getting bigger & a bit known for your tattoo's.. Then step up to the big boy toys.. I like the video's man! I just subbed!

  • dont give me that old racist bullshit about the "white man". tattooing is a JOB. thats it. where in it too make money. not too create some artsy bullshit. im done helping you. i piss on bums sleeping under bridges, from the top off the mother fucking bridge!!!

  • @DRKNESS333...LOL...THATS EXACTLY MY POINT...IM SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY ITS NOT A JOB TO ME ITS WHAT I LOVE TO DO,ITS MY PASSION SO MAYBE ITS TIME FOR YOU TO HANG IT UP IF IT FEELS LIKE A JOB TO YOU..AND THATS WHY CLIENTS PASS UP OTHER GOOD SHOPS TO COME TO MINE..AND I DONT NEED NOR DID I ASK FOR YOUR HELP....

  • I would think info on a good power supply would make top 5. For example, you don't want to buy a 2am power supply. You want one that is at least 3 ams and at least a max of 15 volts. There is only one power supply I know of that meets those requirments and is under $100.

    Another that should be top 5, that you did sort of mention, was get a good gun, but also to get at least a 10 coil gun if you are going to use only one gun because a 10 coil can do lines and shading.

  • this industry has always been cut-throat; and yes, i do hate people who shop at unimax. if you want people too stop hating then maybe you should have more respect for the industry by NOT posting ANY information on you tube sir! i dont know who handed you the keys to drive!

  • @DRKNESS333 modern tattooing is an artform not a corporation or industry so its hilarious that i get these comments about some kind of "industry" that exist..when all your industry is ..is angry white male syndrome,cutthroat,greedy,ego-­maniacs who think that what their doin is superior to everyone else especially black and lationo artist who are only good enuff to work for you but the truth is there's a bum sleeping under a bridge somewhere who can put us all to shame...lol...

  • why dont you go make a rap video!!

  • @DRKNESS333 why dont you get some views and subscribers...lol...hatin azz

  • Good vid. Thank you

  • Is it ok if your a true beginner and you get a tattoo gun off ebay? Or would you suggest going somewhere else?

  • pay attention to coil sizes I use 10 "layer / wrap" and if you get it be ready to change the capacitor from the crap one that's on it to a 100v 35w one you can get at radio shack

  • 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

  • @SuthernInkCustomTatt good tips man THANKS...i'ma come by and visit your shop next time I'm in the DAFWA area... :)

  • im tryng 2 get ah good machine can u tell me a good online site were i can order a tatto gun i font want to wayst money in something that is not profecional

  • @1582563 machines that are considered "good" can run 325$ + But you can get a fairly cheap one at superior tattoo supplies for about 70$ then buy the book Tattoo Machines and Their Secrets by Art and Steve Godoy and make it run right.....it's all about the tuning of the machine, you can make a 70$ V machine pack in ink like a 325$ machine.

  • hey dog u call your self a tattoo artist by saying stuff like that guns.. please dog go back to school homie us real tattoo artist find you disrespectful

  • @frogmantood IF YOUR A SO CALLED "REAL" TATTOO ARTIST YOU HAVE NO SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUR YOUTUBE PAGE..LOL....NAAAH ID RATHER JUST DO ME THEN TRY TO PLEASE SOME SO-CALLED ARTIST WITH NO SUBSCRIBERS,FOLLOWERS OR CLIENTS...LOL..WE GETTIN MONEY JUST HAD 150 CLIENTS COME THRU MY SHOP..MY TV COMMERCIAL IS PLAYING DURING JERRY SPRINGER HERE IN TEXAS...SO IM GOOD BRO..BUT YOU GO BE "REAL" AND ILL JUST BE "ME"

  • @SuthernInkCustomTatt a bro you do real work cats just mad that they cant have a shop like urs. i look up to cats like you that do what they want and make it. but yeah bro can you do some vids that show you doing a tat from start to finish

  • OG, I would like some advice. I got my first tattoo machine for Christmas. I'm kind of scared about starting to learn. I feel like I'm not going to be good enough for this. Someday, I would love to open my own shop. Any advice on learning?

  • say bro congrats on the success, i have one comment, on the fifth tip, you said to push thru your design, i teach my artists to step away from the client and the design, take a couple breaths, and ease yourself, usually after you relax the design goes smoothly, and the creative aspect returns. once again congrats on the success, next time i come thru tx im gonna stop in and visit you guys. mister tattoo jahmal

  • what online sites would you recommend to get tattoo supplies?

  • What should I look for when buying a pro machine...any specific brand or model? what website do you recommend? Thanks for the info, you're videos are the best ice seen on YT.

  • YOU FORGOT ONE HUGE THING..... PRACTICE SKINS LOTS OF THEM... no one wants a shitty tat

  • I think you have some of the best, and informative videos on the web. And believe me, I've been through them all looking for tips. Thank you & keep 'em comming!

  • I appreciate this shit fam ... just from watchin this one time I feel WAY more confident bout doin better compared to my previous work ... thanks

  • You are a really cool person and I enjoy your videos man. They've been helpful and actually a relief from the assholes I been trying to squeeze info out of. I'm a beginner and just looking for tips and knowledge to benefit myself and my wife. We are getting into tattooing for fun just to tat each other because it's something we both enjoy and we both have other good paying jobs but just learning for that has been a pain because everything about tattooing is so damn secretive.

  • yo wassup big homie. im a black artist from atlantic city new jersey thats tryin to get in the game but every time i go to a shop for an apprenticeship white artist look at me funny like they aint tryna let a nigga in. i mean they dont even want to look at my portfolio they just look at my face and turn me down. is there racism in the tattoo game because ive been gettin those type of vibes. do you know of anybody in texas givin apprenticeships that dont mind teaching black artist?

  • @jondollars SORRY TO SAY YES IT IS BRO..I GOT 22 ARTIST THAT LEFT OTHER SHOPS TO WORK IN MY SHOP SO I HEAR ALL THE STORIES OF RACISM NOT ONLY IN NOT HIRING BLACK ARTIST BUT TREATING BLACK ,HISPANIC CUSTOMERS BAD BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN TONE

  • @jondollars get 1 or 2 tattoo models (friends) do a bunch of cool tatts on them your best work..play to your strengths ,take really good pictures and present your portfolio in the shops you like

  • Hey man. You probably have answered this before but I ain't diggin through pages of racist retards leavin comments. I got a couple cheap guns but I'm lookin at gettin a Welker soon. What kind of machines do you prefer? Also, thanks for all the videos dude. If your teachin' people how to be sterile and savin' clients from gettin' Hep A to Z, than only a dumb ass would hate on you and probably shouldn't be near a computer in the first place. Stay up!

  • What's wrong with tattoo guns from ebay. I just bought two for sixty bucks. please let me know.

  • @Quicknsick there ok some are real cool lookin but put better coils and springs on em

  • do you got pics of your work ?

  • @KABLE999 YEP GO TO FACEBOOK/DAKANDYSHOP

  • thank you for all the tips and instructions on tatting and anyone hating on you I have to agree has small penis syndrome. They had to learn from somewhere just like the rest of us do!!! Keep up the great videos!!!

  • a real tattooer wouldnt be giving tips online you should learn how to tattoo before you try and teach people!

  • @holdtrueknowfate1 ...yea i know..keep thinking im not real ..im the industries most hated shop owner so i catch alot of flack for giving tips to people who wanna learn but id rather give back and not be in there little narrow minded "industry" that excludes black artist

  • OG. Can I get a tip from you? I want to do an arm band and the guy gave me a picture thats three inches high and six inches long and I want to make it go around his around and make it look nice and not over lap or be crocked, how can I achieve that? Pretty much I want to make it look nice and build my reputation. I really appreciate you putting up your videos, Thank you for your time.

  • IF I CAN HELP ONE ARTIST DO A LITTLE BETTER OR BE MORE STERILE THEN I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT I SET OUT TO DO WITH THESE VIDEOS.. BUT IVE BEEN GETTING ALOT OF HATER INBOX MAIL JUST BECAUSE IM GIVING YAWL THESE SIMPLE TATTOO TIPS...MOSTLY ITS JUST INSECURE(small penis syndrome)-UPPITY-STUCK IN THE PAST STILL MAD THEY LOST THE CIVIL WAR TYPES THAT SPEND ALL DAY ON MY PAGES ..I JUST WANNA SAY FROM YOUR HUMBLE TATTOO ARTIST....THANKS FOR THE VIEWS...LOL...

  • @SuthernInkCustomTatt

    I have a question, My friend is really into wanting to become a tattoo artist and I wanted to buy him a gun and set so he can start doing this stuff. What brand would you reccomend and what all will he need? He is a begginer and this will be his first set :)

  • @SuthernInkCustomTatt thanx for all your vids!!! OG keep up the good work. peace

  • @SuthernInkCustomTatt Thanks for the tips. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was a little too confident that my ability to draw would mean that I would be good at tattooing---wrong! These videos are great, and your willingness to share tips for free is awesome. Thanks, bro.

  • U got the best vids out there yo... Im barely startn out in the ink hustle and been using practice skins, they came out better than id thought theyd be, but I have yet to get the hang of larger scale work, any advise on shading larger peices..... Thnx 4 the advce, keepm coming

  • keep doin wht you doin cuz it's hard to accepted out here...these artist are makn it out to be some kinda big secret , but i take it as they just scared imma do better and take their clients its onlt been 4mths and im don beyond great. Im also not being a fast ass and just tryna tatt ppl to tatt & make quick $ but to learn the whole art of it and understanding my machine...but since no1 wants to teach me ill just continue to search you tube and read books...do you have any recommendations?

  • thanks for the help poppy your videos are the best.

  • FOR ANYONE JUST STARTING OUT THE BIGGEST TIP I CAN GIVE YOU IS TO BE CLEAN....IF YA TATTIN IN YA ROOM..TAKE OUT THE CARPET INSTALL WOOD FLOORS..NEVER RE-USE NEEDLES..TRADE METAL TUBES FOR ALL DISPOSABLE ONES..KEEP YOUR CLIENTS SAFE FROM INFECTION...NO SMOKIN NO DRINKING IN YOUR TATTOO SPACE,REALLY TRY TO TURN IT INTO A BUSINESS...ALWAYS UPGRADE BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS,STAY FOCUSED...AND LOOK FOR OG'S LIKE ME TO PUT ON YA TEAM WHEN YA MAKE IT BIG. LOVE& RESPECT ogpoppy

  • thanks i appreciate the help. i understand why they hating, i was skateboarding in the 90s and it took lots of hard work and natural talent to get where i was. its not easy seeing the thing you love get blown up and everyone thinkin they can do what you worked for in a instant. but id much rather show love and not let them make the same mistakes allot of cats do. thanks again one day id love to shoot you chair in my shop lol : ]]

  • Hey what should I run my machine at for lineing to get it to stick the best ..

  • AYYY IM USUALLY A 11MAG NEEDLE FOR SHADING BUT I JUST TRIED 9MAG BUCKPIN NEEDLES (the needles curve instead of flat at the tip) AND I LOVE EM..TRY EM OUT LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

  • AS A BEGINNER YOU WANNA REALLY FOCUS ON HOW DEEP YOUR GOIN INTO THE SKIN...TOO DEEP AND YOULL SCAR YOUR CLIENT...TOO LIGHT AND ITLL HEAL OUT ..BUT ITS BETTER TO GO TOO LIGHT AND THEN OFFER FREE TOUCH UPS ON YOUR WORK

  • Thanks for sharing your gifts and knowledge with us!!

  • ELEMENT TATTOO SUPPLY (ONLINE) HAS A FEW GOOD ONES..WHAT YOU WANNA PAY ATTENTION TO IS THE COILS..TATTOO MACHINE FRAMES CAN DIFFER BUT WHAT MAKES A GOOD GUN IS GOOD COILS.BUT STARTING PRICE POINT WOULD BE 100$ UP TO 400$

  • how much is A GOOD QUALITY TATTOO GUN?. (beginner here obviously.. tnx)

    and what to look for?. am just basically lookin for a good entry level gun.. u know, just to get started with..

  • @imhotep08 in my opinon any ebay MACHINE(not gun) is good to learn with, but once you get a little better then its time for a better one, ebay machines are better than homemade guns

  • Thx for the tips really helpful by the way and fuck that racist mother fucker he's just jealous that we succeed in everything we touch and that we are banging there women's lol

  • thanks bro..you called yourself a beginner but keep in mind many beginners are better than some cats who been doin it for decades still using speedstick and old bad tattoo habits...(if ya good then ya good)..keep ya clients safe and when ya open ya own shop one day invite me to come down and slang some ink with you...

  • keep doing what you do bro!! we need more O.G.s in the world like you!! Lil O of INKMOBB!! -100

  • aye bruh, you a real nigga! i just bought a professional kit because I wanted 2 INK myself along with my team and cut out the middleman!! Im a beginner and when i first got on youtube and starting my learning quest all i saw were white guys and essays...which was kool! but to see a black tattoo artist who is successful and putting other niggaz on!! to see dis shit just blew my mind!! im not racist but most of the tattoo artists are white and wouldnt apprentice a black begginer

  • (( but i like basketball)) ..LOL....i know i know..i approved that comment below just to show you what type of racist crap i get in my inbox...sad huh?...im the most hated tattoo artist in the industry because im giving YOU insight/tips...
