  • @Thcjoshthc100 what's the reason for calling him an idiot? if he's one, then take his job, do it better ;)

    maaybee he's not a genius, but some people are grateful for what he's doing :)

  • @STIKEMJIM You come across as an complete asshole. You say theres nothing to be taught to you anymore, Do I believe this? No, no one would thats absurd. Can I get a link to your work perhaps? You must be a complete master of all forms if you can't be taught anything... why don't we know your name?

  • @bowlinwes300 Yes it is...and most artists in our industry like to charge thier apprentice alot of cash to do so. I have been a Tattoo Artist for 15 years,I have never charged,only ask that they actually work for it like I did. Good luck..hit me up if you need any questions answered.

  • bless this man for helping people like myself out in the small things, as all "professional" tattoo artist know it's very difficult to become an apprentice when you don't know anyone who actually does it for a living.

  • I know he's not actually gonna use this set up for a tattoo but I think he should have been wearing gloves throughout the presentation. To set a good example, because gloves are part of set up *shrugs*

  • @99baggedmazda You'd generally line it up with the tube. Although I've seen people work SLIGHTLY off the tip with shaders.

  • All in all though its a good vid lol

  • ...Even so if your going to be playing with someones skin your better off getting the best... you may have to search a bit longer but you'll be better off for it in the long run lol

  • oh wait, i see now the term 'traditional' is also used to describe earlier modern machined equipment.

  • uh how is it traditonal if it uses a modern machine? trad means using manual tools and natural pigments.

  • what is better for shading a flatneedles or a round magnun? anybody please
