[northyboy88]

lefties :)

[hobuspobus]

Alec Baldwin tattoos?

[GreenDaysSuperHero]

I'm left handed too :D

[skatereccless]

im left handed to bro & thanks for the tips !

[jamiej798204]

Relax Guy. My brother is a tattoo artist. I have never seen his hands shake like that. He goes from the bottom up even on lineless portraits. Matter of fact he would never do a video doing a corny piece like that.

[temalesiTONGANpride]

does this hurt?

[jfdmothafucka]

hes left handed thats why he started on the top left. think about it

[lenchmobbof1]

never start at the top of the stencil. work from the bottom of the peice up. you will smear your stencil like this guy is doing in the video. prefect example of why you start from the bottom up. try not to whipe to hard or too much dabb the paper towel if u need to.

[lenchmobbof1]

@kbd15100 you have to use vasoline after the stencil is applied. this helps keep your stencil and it helps the artist to slide thier hand across your skin. however you dont use vasoline during the healing process.

[lenchmobbof1]

a few tips when u set your needle in the machine the needel should only stick out about the thickness of a few sheets of paper. AND NEVER push down all the way to the tip of your tube. WORK WITH the tips of your needel. you need a good power supply and Machine. PLEASE dont buy tattoo kits its a waste of your money and its CRAP. go through a professional tattoo supply company. i use Technical Tattoo Supply.com . the quality of your machine matters.

[Crazytacoism]

@lenchmobbof1 Not everyone likes to tube bounce.

[socalkingofink]

This guy is still going to deep haha turn your machine down and pull your needle out a lil u cant even see what u r doing hahaha

[NaturalNuckels]

I would let Muhammad Ali tatt me up before him

[saint13503]

Ur shaking before u hit the peddle relax n take a breath

[kbd15100]

you shouldn't use vasoline

[alexzanderdearr]

what needles do you recommend?

[BostonMacK74]

Holy jesus is this guy shaky!

[TheErresistable]

I didn't have to scroll down to see that you were using skin candy. Nice bro.

[goodygum20]

dont even watch this guy seriously i hate these sort of people he how can you teach what you dont no

[goodygum20]

you need to have experience thats what its all about no machine or needle is going to be that much better you got to keep steady clean lines and keep a nice flow prepre everyline before you even do it if you have to

[kandiiAngel12]

can you make a video of how to adjust a tattoo gun. when i work on the outline of the tattoo the ink doesnt stay as thick and most of the time i have to go over the lines again for it to be thick and dark even if i use a thicker needle but with the shading it seems to work perfectly. what do you think is the problem with the machine?

[gstacks814]

@kandiiAngel12 i have the exact same problem

[wireless251]

what needle is he usein ?



[Klaudkapzj]

how much needle u push to skin ????? i try to do tattoo but i dont know how much i need put needle to skin...

[JRayMalcolm]

he's shaky because there's a camera there and he realizes that 750,000 people are watching...

[megaflyinbrian]

@JRayMalcolm no excuse!

[thebearstreetballs]

His hands get soo shaky but mine do to its from adrenaline but my lines come out clean

[LegacyTattoos]

how are you so shaky with such clean lines??? im shakier than gang member in police station when i do tattoos.

[chrislew93]

"put the very tip in, and hit the foot pedal two or three times, maybe four or five".

[TheGJBMClan]

[RosaLissa25411]

[utubefan461]

[BloodyPenguinn]

[clotbomba]

[wrongun100]

[9834571]

Stupid question but petroleum jelly is the same as vaseline right?

[510685]

HE HAS REALLY SHAKY HANDS.....

[showmevoodoo]

Dude your outline looks like hell. You're shaking like a leaf, wtf?

You've got no business misleading people on youtube into thinking you have anything to teach anyone.

Thanks for trying to spread your HACKERY to the masses.

[oKRYOGENICzx]

his hand shakes a lot!

[x5NiiP3Zx]

this is why expertvillage sucks.

[73564361]

muito bom gostei muito tem que fazer em potuguês 

[mrtatttedup23]

Why his ink soo damn thick mix it up

[mrtatttedup23]

His hand is shaking like a motha fucka doe

[tattoocrazy10]

for those of you newbies if there are any, do not listen to a damnd thing he says or does, this guy is a moron!!

[tattoocrazy10]

does any body know what there doing? that guy should hang it up and sell his shit, what a joke!!!

[twich5150]

this guy is a moran, wow is he shaky, i love watchin this shit on youtube, im an artist aswell, but man, my hand is as steady as a snipers breathing when shooting

[drainmudvayne27]

bit shakie there bro? and the girl gettin it done? arr what did ya do, barhahahah GIRL!

[MScarbro1]

The tattoo industry is by far the snobbiest industry in the world....

[jlizzymlove]

why does my ouline come out so thin???

[B1u3Dr4g0n1]

@jlizzymlove ....to small of choice of needle....

[jlizzymlove]

@B1u3Dr4g0n1 so i should use more needles for the outline??

[B1u3Dr4g0n1]

@jlizzymlove ....more?...no just bigger....what do you use? 3r...use a 7r and be slow and steady

[dillweedx420x]

shakey as a motherfucker haha

[monica71635]

i love this video series, thanks for posting :)

[kantuu22]

whats the name of the website you get your supplies??

[kdjones1981]

can you use the carbon paper on short hair of the head to do hair designs as an outline?

[TheSneakygypsy]

that looks like a dirty ass motel room i hope you dont mind having aids

[yourtattoopicture]

tattooing should NEVER be done over carpet.

[unluckicharmz]

the guy getting the tattoo looks like a fuckin douche clown...nice goatee nerd.

[lax1fb]

what kind of tip is that yur using

[j62678]

I agree with the last post. Maybe a valuum or 12

[MyFavoriteMarissa]

Notice how there is no bag over the bottle. no cover over the clipcord. He TOUCHES the clipcord before starting. Now imagine how many times he's touched that thing with his dirty hands and when he's tattooing others. Cross contamination spreads nasty germs and diseases. This video is shit.

[added23]

@MyFavoriteMarissa yea but hes wearing gloves. i dont see the problem

[PILLOWofECHOES]

if i just listen to his voice it sounds like a cop

[aaapppeeexxx]

farkkk that small tattoo would take years lol

[chriscrosstifer2]

God he is shaky lol

[StainedSkin27]

ew is he in his own living room? theres carpet on the floor. holy hepititis! warf

[pabiniss77]

REALLY? I mean REALLY?I have been a tattoo artist for 15 years, and I would not, let me emphasize NOT!!!! follow what this guy is doing. you never start on a point, you should not have the liner cocked sideways regardless of what hand you use, furthermore, vaseline is not something for an open wound...i mean the first line he did is blown out...look closely. If you desire to learn how to tattoo, get out there and get yourself an apprenticeship. this is a skill that takes time to master...

[Maxakiller]

@matt1don well not really bro..like i usually get 2 tattoos at a time..so one day i got my chest done which hurt like a bitch..and then got something on my arm..which i really didnt feel it..sooooo ya

[matt1don]

@Maxakiller dude, i have tattoos as well, one on my arm and a chestpiece. both hurt, the arm hurt a lot more than the chest. it might not be that sore but it still does hurt a bit i mean its a needle stabbing you like a thousand times or whatever lol

[TheChocodileHunter]

thanks for these vid tutorials

[mrarbiter200]

i have a big question dos it hurts

please someone answer me

[thewhyblock]

Ummm...anyone here thinking there should be laws against this? I mean, this guy is using a machine proven to be one of the worst ever made, his second line is a BAAAAD blow-out, he calls the thing a gun, his hands are shaking...I feel bad for him, actually. ('proven' as in so many people said so many bad things about it over time...i guess it did launch a 'revolution' in machine form though)

[passionfortatts187]

Why isn't there some kind of cover over your green soap? Also, Your left handed if 'im correct, try starting from the left hand side to the right so you wont have to use Vaseline. Maybe if you were a real pro you wouldn't be so nervous and you'd know this. (;

[hayryry90]

the buzz in the machine is just personal preference it all up to the tattoo artist if they want hard hitting and fast or soft and slow but there is and a range it should be in and hes not in it

[stilldigin101]

i cant get my lines to become dark like u have your outlines. they are always realy thin n lite colored

[dub2tattoo]

look out... the next mario barth. on crack lmao

[dub2tattoo]

douche



[MrMONEYSOTA651]

shaky hands



[reddbone66]

dude? you had to be nervous? i hope....

[taydin0805]

mate ur shaky as fuck

[coruptmind6969]

little shaky eeeek lol

[chantelhollywood]

white boy white lmfao I'll be sure to ask my tattoo artist for that tomorrow

[sambam249]

If you wanna learn how to Tattoo. Go get an apprenticeship from some one who know about values, consistence of saturation, and machine-ship.

[sambam249]

I wanna know why some one who puts "Gun" in a comment is making a comment? Yes his "MACHINE" does not have a good hum to it.

[Crazytacoism]

@sambam249 Because "Gun" is jargon for a tattooing machine. That's why almost every tattooist will say gun from time to time.

[littlechicotattoo]

dude...he's the best!!!

[delete1112]

if you want a real video to show you how to tattoo... look this up HUCK SPAULDING THE ART OF TATTOOING DVD.. it will teach the REAL basics of tattooing...

[SubstanceEuphoria]

Anyone else notice that all of Expertvillage tutorials on ANY subject are pretty much shit?

[codycooper68]

Your gun sound sounds like it's running awful rough it don't sound like you have it set up right at all.

[mikestat2s]

Your going to deep if the needle is getting stuck like that watch other videos about needle depth

[MrOldeastdallas]

I just bought my tattoo machine and I'm just starting to learn but everytime I tried to run a line on my homeboy with my machine the needle kept on getting stuck. What am I doing wrong and what should I do different? Does anybody know.

[architectus777]

@MrOldeastdallas First, hold the machine naturally, like you would a pencil. So it will be at a slight angle to the skin, rather than straight up and down. Secondly, try to just barely touch the skin. Try that first. It is better to not go deep enough than to go too deep. Get the hang of depth. The needle should barely go into the skin.

[Crazytacoism]

@MrOldeastdallas You're not stretching the skin enough, stretch it so it's like a snare drum.

[goonskank]

Vaseline is bad. 

[reetskeetreet]

You should always start at the bottom of the tattoo, so not to wipe the stencil.

[aN3RDwithAfringe]

@reetskeetreet stencils dont always stay there that is why its best to have a artistic view sort of thing becuasse then you can add your own flair or you can figure out but yeah i agrree :P

[reetskeetreet]

@aN3RDwithAfringe Which is why I'm a tattoo artist. Not a tattooist. I love how right after this guys says it's important to do it in one stroke, he uses two strokes on the bottom of the horn. He also moves pretty slow.

[aN3RDwithAfringe]

@reetskeetreet yeah well not everyones perfect obviously but yeah you should it in in one and make sure you have a steady hand :3 but yeah man awesome id love to see some of your work

[morphox85]

@reetskeetreet lol, thought the same thing :)

[casitagirl]

Thanks for sharing. I've learned a lot from you. You explain things very well!

[Alextran0902]

what kind of needle you used to lining out ?

[yoho1992]

one thing that i've noticed is that he is shaky until get starts tattooing, i've seen that with alot of artists.

[lkelley32]

This guy doesn't need to be giving any lessons. He needs to be taking them. He's too shaky, his lines aren't straight and he's sloppy. FACT.

[xacdcx7]

whiteboy white, lmfao

[sXenatexXx]

you should start at the bottom not the top

[MrCOLTSR2]

one stroke its important blah blah...and the twerp stops dead on the next tiny line without doing it in one stroke!...and its only 8-12 mm long! and he cant even do that in one stroke yet waffles on about the importance of doing a line in one stroke.....what a douche....comon man for f..ks sake sort ur vid tutorials out its a joke watchin em!

[FUCKXVXSCENEKIDS]

worlds first tattooer with parkinsons.

[cpt760tattoo]

WOW!! blown out lines right away.

[tylerhollyfield]

this guy should not be tattooing

[MrBetteryourself]

Thanks for the help jesse dude this is one of the better tutorials on youtube.

and its pretty obvious the guy is slightly nervous about being on camera nerves =shakes! duh.

[UrGrnWorld]

SHAKEY SHAKEY LMAOOOOOO



[moufakos]

his hands was shaking but the lines came up good :-)

[Hydr0saK]

Lol...At 1:41 he says quote " do you see how i'm doing it in one stroke its very important'..

than the very next line he make he STOPS half way threw..What a tool

[OmegaSubject001]

@Hydr0saK He means by one stroke that he does not go over the same line over and over like some people do in drawing.

[buehler03]

I like to drink 8 or more beers before I begin desecrating flesh with my needle. This video gave me some good help.

[keeplisted]

@buehler03 You sound like my brother lol

[manith415]

you're a bit shaky mate, you must be new to the gun

[2010hartley]

that sounds like drag poor old mitchelle get a job mate

[shittywilly]

aren't you supposed to work from bottom up ?

[hiahpal]

Dude in the seat needs to stop QQing

[MrMogly666]

Fuck, my first tat i done myself is better than that at least my lines are straight.... this dude needs a drink to stop the shakes lmao.

[bakersk8er564]

So many thing wrong with this.

[awilly1208]

shaky shaky

[monkeybloodrap]

deoderant sucks for pencils and he should of started at the bottom left he's already starting to rub the pencil off. Real instructional cost money you won't fond useful video on YouTube.

[levijones79]

quick question to any one, looking for my 1st i had this idea for about 6 years and i wants tattoo on my left arm of a word, the question is, i have a 1 inch pink scar can they tattoo over thar, 2nd question, im 125 lbs and 6 ft tall, if i decide to work out or gain wieght will it strech out the tattoo and could that be a problem, man i need some ink

[Akitzu]

@levijones79 Most artist can tattoo over the scar, but depending on how deep the scar runs, you may still see it. Also, ink sometimes has trouble of staying put in/on a scar and may require a few sessions until the correct coverage is achieved. Working out and weight gain shouldn't be that much of an issue unless you plan on gaining a large amount of weight/muscle.

[kolorkid2fresh]

This guy is slooooow

[Spongen]

Must have been a bad day, no breakfast? I shake like that too when I'm nervous. Hate it when that happens

[5h4ggyDr34d]

For someone who shakes a lot he does tattoo pretty straight lines O_O

[thechildrenzplace]

white boy white huh...lol

[tophatcat123]

hahaha a love the way he says in one stroke then does half a line hHHAHAAHA

[iaminsanity]

@tophatcat123 line isnt stroke. when you do a stroke. just mean from point A to B.. when his curve changed, he repositioned and finished the line from th other side. this is hugely common, a ton in scales.

[bbbbbbandit]

damnn ur hands are shakeing

[Wicho023]

im using the thinest sowing needles to make my tattoos,



[wafartamo]

One stroke, it's real important that you can do that in one stroke. Then you immediately used two strokes to go across where the horn comes out of the head, and you left a blotch where you restarted your stroke.

[hypernovie]

And Stay off the crack pipe or your hand will shake like hell.

[i81b4you]

ive learnt so much from the comments on this vid

[trish9902]

His fingers are a little close to the needle. One jerky movement and he is going to stick himself.

[82eighty]

"work off the tip" = inconsistent lines.. mostly with shaky hands..

[betonparadies]

shaky hand........

[enruoblimeimaj]

press *bzz* the foot pedal *bzz**bzz* maybe two *bzz* or *bzz**bzz* three times, *bzz**bzz**bzz* maybe four *bzz* or five times *bzz**bzz*

[gigga97]

@enruoblimeimaj

funniest comment I have read in a long time!

[danielleislegit]

What brand ink do you use?

[hambone99976]

this guy is too funny talkin about cross contamination when he used a stick of deoderant to apply the stencile. not once did ever say not to use that more than once. this among other cross contamination hazards he has going on in this video!

[HeatherSpoonheim]

Great video, thanks. I didn't get to see the work in such detail when I got my tattoo because it's, uh, well not in a place that's easy for me to see.

[dahooligan12]

@BLAKEYBBLAKEY 1- if you were mature, you wouldnt bother dealing with me. 2- the majority of people on youtube are 13 and under, little kids are agreeing with you, and they are also immature because theyre little kids. and 3- its pathetic how you get a line from austin powers to insult me, yet another way to prove you're immature :)

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

@dahooligan12 I'm not immature,my comment was in no way immature so stfu :>)

[prettidreadz1]

is it true the whn your out lining you should'nt line backwards only forward or left to right

[NYCshotty]

BALLS

[Silverhawkpara]

You suck!

[dyanuniverse]

the sound of the machine tells all,...bad,bad.And his hands shake so much,.he is doing all totaly wrong

[Headshothorror4488]

u stupid kids need to stop tearing eachother open, u cant darw, cant tune proper , dnt touch a machine, i seen on news now that u kids are ruining it 4 the real home artists

[Reaper66628]

Get A&D Onitment or TAT WAX or TATTOO GOO and put it on do NOT screw with the scab at all...

[MrDirkWild]

try A&D ointment and just keep it moist with that

[philly442]

does anyone know how to heal your tattoo perfectly? I'm allergic to aquaphor so that sucks I got it 8 days ago and its kinda scabby but slightly peeling should I use lubriderm Lotion

[inspiredink1]

@philly442

Don't use lotion- Let it dry. Only use lotion AFTER the scab is peeled off.

[just2pissyouoff]

or you can take a sewing needle and some pen ink.....

[RIVOTHEAD13]

@theunclejosh100 lol.. ya.. scary

[Jamvi2009]

that guy is shaking a lot lol

[RIVOTHEAD13]

@Jamvi2009 most artists hand shake.. alot

[Jamvi2009]

@RIVOTHEAD13 hehehe... yeap guess soo

[davidcoop88]

@RIVOTHEAD13 it only shakes because hes tryin to control the needle. the needle vibrates, dumbass

[STIKEMJIM]

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO EDUCATE THIS STUPID WANNA BE , OR AT LEAST REEDUCATE HIM OR FIRE HIM , AFTER PATTERN IS LAID , LIGHT COAT OF VASELINE OVER THE TOPOF IT , STRECH SKIN , NEEDLES AT APPROX 40 /45 DEGREES TO THE SKIN , WORK FROM BOTTOM TO TOP / WIPE DOWNWARD !

[Headshothorror4488]

Also a scratcher is one who tattoos dirty and unsafe and knows nothing of proper machine tuning. Mike Devries and many many other so called "pros" in shops today tattooed at home and never had a apprenticeship. This is a FACT and u cant manipulate it, is what it is. So being dirty and unsafe is what makes a scratcher not tattooing at home or having no apprenticeship. Mike agreed
