 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel, uh, that's it. That's all I got This week I have my client Jonathan climbing from Ontario, California to get a cover-up done. Welcome to Arizona The Tribals I was 17 I was still in high school and one of my buddies had a he told me he had an uncle that got a tattoo machine that he was Doing free tattoos Tribals were in there was a long time ago. I thought I was the cool kid in high school Walking around with a tattoo. I was still 17 and he we did it in the and at the uncle's house And obviously no paperwork needed. I wasn't even 18. So it was pretty shady I hate it for my parents it for a long time eventually my mom saw it and then she Snapped and been a long time and it was just time to turn that page and and get something else that meet That's more meaningful, right? So after having a great breakfast Having a good talk we decided on a concept and the concept is a big tiger Once I started thinking about getting a cover up I started looking up things and then one time I stumbled upon one of the videos and I just kept watching and you know and I'm looking for the new ones and then I felt like you were the right guy I've sent like a couple of messages to other other people on on Instagram and little things But it either seems like they're not interested or they're like scared about it because I did share pick the pictures and but I've seen like the big cover of stat that on your channel, and it's It was just at another level right? I'm looking for where's he gonna plug this thing in right? It's like because that Back then when I got tattooed it was like I think it was like two cables running There was like a little pedal or something. So I was looking for that and then when when you said it was wireless. I was like So this week I invited the homey Antonio Garcia that works at fifth finger To tell us his unique or funny story that happened to him while tattooing. I hope you guys enjoy the story roll it What's up everybody? This is Antonio Garcia. I'm a tattoo artist at fifth finger studio in Glenda, Arizona And I'm here to tell you guys a crazy story Something different that happened Draw my tattoo career This was a few years back was just another day at the office. I was working on a portrait some dude walks in Through the back of the shop and everybody was just kind of tripping out because if you're familiar with tattoo shops Nobody really comes into the back unless they know they know you or unless they work there This guy asks everyone if any of us are parked in the back Everybody just looked at each other. We're like, yeah, we're all parked back there and the dude goes I'm gonna need you guys to move your cars. He says I'm detective so-and-so and There's a body in one of the cars in the back. So we all kind of tripped out You know because that's what we're all parked. So I get into my car I looked to the right and I noticed that's where the cops are at, you know The detectives the cops are all right next to the car. That's a few spaces next to me So I moved my car and I was just tripping out because I remember that day when I got to work As soon as I got off I smelled something and I thought it was a dumpster that was right But that close to us, you know, it turns out it was the body, you know We all went back to work. We're tattooing, but at the same time everybody was just like Like did this just happen, you know So that was probably like something's very unique that's happened I've never experienced that throughout my whole years of tattooing shout out to mr. Reyes Thank you for having me and till next time I hope you guys enjoyed this story and thank you so much Antonio for sharing I really appreciate it and don't forget to follow his social media, please follow his social media For this project, I'm gonna be using two needles The first needle is gonna be my 27 curved Mac and my second needle is gonna be my 14 round liner Running my machine at 5.0 Whenever I'm tattooing, I don't have a specific pattern. I'm just going with the flow I might drag my Mac. I might do little circles. I might scribble with my liner You never know, but whatever you do make sure you have chemistry with your machine Because if you don't it doesn't matter what you do or try it's never gonna work I fell fluent on that one. Let me get the little For this first tribal I decided to start with my lightest tone to my darkest tone The reason why is because I noticed it wasn't as dark or scarred so I knew it wasn't gonna be difficult to cover it up Starting the second tribal, I realized that it was way darker than the first one I could feel every single line so I knew it was gonna be a little bit more complicated But I wasn't scared. I had to change my approach by mapping it out first with my darkest tone To make sure I wasn't losing the shape of the face or the contrast Make sure you have more than one approach on doing a cover up because if you don't Best belief is gonna be very difficult for you to complete the session and execute the cover up Actually expecting it to hurt a lot more. Yeah time for the white highlights But first let me apply this basicane to help on my client for this last couple minutes. I got you part of me said do it part of me said no and Now that I see that the end result I'm very happy and I'm very happy that you took my submission and But took these things to another level and yeah, I appreciate it.
