 If you're a tattoo artist and you're interested in learning how to do a cover-up, then come to my upcoming cover-up masterclass here in Phoenix, Arizona. It will be a two-day seminar and I will be sharing all my secrets on how to execute a cover-up. Limited seats are available, so make sure you send your email to mrperiodreyes-seminarayaho.com to reserve your seat. Let's go! How's everybody doing? Welcome back to my channel. This week, my client has a huge, a huge tattoo on his back that he doesn't like anymore. I mean, it's not like part of his back. It's not like on a corner. It's his whole back. But based on what I've seen, this is going to be the biggest cover-up I've done. I have my client for the next three days, so it's going to be an insane project. Insane. Let's go. All right, let's go. I'm ready. You're just looking at that stencil like that's huge. Don't look at the stencil. Don't look at it. Don't look at it, bro. It's very intimidating. It's my size. Look at this. The day has come. Get this out of your body. Oh, Lord. Did you shave? No. Oh, there. You have no hair. That's good. Oh my God. That's cold, huh? I didn't even... No, you're good. I just do this unconsciously at this point. So you said you went to three different artists? Two, yeah. Two different artists. What did the first artist do? So the first artist, he started adding a whole bunch of backgrounds like... So that was the first artist? Because his specialty, he said, was freestyle. Like back then. Oh, damn. He's like, I'm going to freeze that. I'm going to freaking everything. Damn. So this portfolio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And his portfolio was good. And then I was right next to the military in the Marine Corps base. I was like, I should have known. So who did the dragon first? Oh, that was like another artist when I was like 17, 18. When you were 17. Wow. I feel like at some point you're kind of like forgot about it. But when you sigh, you're kind of like... Damn, my shoes sound sick as fuck. So since it's such a huge stencil, what I'm going to be doing is taping it to his back, making sure that the face is right in the middle. It is such a symmetrical shape that I have to make sure that the middle of the nose runs through here. But since it's such a big stencil, we got to make sure that we do it in one take. Because erasing it is definitely not it. So first tape is going to go here. I'm going to be pulling your hair, your baby hairs on your neck. All right. So that's my first tape right there. I just kind of see where I'm at. And you can feel that the center of his back, that ditch here. So I'm going to make sure that it's right center, right there. I'm going to tape down one corner. So now that we have all that, we're just going to lift it all the way up. I'm going to throw it over you. Can you hold it like right there? Hold it right there. This is how much I put on my hand. Boom. All right. Here we go. Now that we have the whole thing, we're just going to let it happen. There you go. Perfect. So now we're going to stick the top and now we go back up. There you go. All right. Here we go. Let's do it. And as you apparently make sure that everything, um, all the stencil stick into the skin. And if it's not just stick it back in, kind of put pressure on it. That's insane. One take, one take. Let's do it. Let's go. Well, how do you check out the placement? I don't know if you can see it, but you can try your best. Yeah, it's good. Here we are. What time is it? Seven? Seven thirty. Seven thirty. Seven hours later. About eight out of seven. I'm not going to ask if it hurts. I'm pretty sure it does, but you're not really showing it. How bad does it hurt? Because I don't, I don't see you moving. I don't see you like, you know, tensing up, nothing. You're just chilling. Cernarios and hurts. No, you, because, you know, you know, like everybody, you know, you guys know that when a client is hurting, you can feel it. You know what I mean? You can feel his body or her body tensing up. You know what I mean? But his body is so relaxed. I don't feel like it's hurting him. So it makes me want to go even harder. JK, JK. It's crazy how it's, it's gone. Like I will say I'm almost 50% done, almost 50%, which is a big chunk to be honest. It's a huge chunk. Adding some white highlights real quick, calling it a day. If I took my shirt off and you took your shirt off, I'm putting mine back on. All right, I'm out of here. This is sketch. I don't know what the fuck. What kind of shop is this? You do me a favor bro. Can you do like, when I tattoo you, can you do a face? All right, ready? Make a face. One, two, three. Good. I did a noise bro. You're asking too much. What noise do you make when you're hurting? Like when you're getting tattooed? Okay. Well, okay. What part of your body sweats the most? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Give me a minute. Give me a minute. I feel, okay. Bro, I just, I just pray. Damn, bro. Look at that gold chain. My god. Okay. Tell me, Gabriel, what is, what part of your body sweats the most? When you're getting tattooed? My hands. Your hands? Yeah. Yeah. I get really sweaty hands. Like when I get nervous or like, if I'm driving like, uh, like onto mountains and shit, I get really, really nervous. Bro, I don't never want to get on a car. Why? In a car with you, bro. Okay, hold on. Imagine you're sweating your hands and you just, you cut, accidentally just slip. No, I get nervous. No, I get nervous when other people drive. I get, when, if I'm in control, I'm cool. But when other people drive, I feel like it's the end of the world. Bro. I don't trust everybody else. So you as a passenger, you're just fucking hitting the imaginary brakes. I'm like, hold on. And I'm like, no, stop. Wait, no, I'll like reach. Look, if I'm right here on the passenger side, see, and everybody's going on the edge of the mountain and I see the edge of the fucking mountain going down there, I'm going to, I'm screaming. I'm going to tell you to stop or pull over or let me drive. I don't like seeing that. Anyways, all right. We are done for today. We got really far. We got about, I would say, close to 50% done. I almost feel like I can finish tomorrow. So if I can finish tomorrow, I got you. Today is day number two on this crazy back piece. We went out for about eight hours just relax. We went out of just for about eight hours. My client sits like a rock. So I'm really happy about that because I'm able to navigate and move at my own pace without having to worry about, you know, like, Oh, I got to be careful in this corner. I got to be careful here because he's hurting and I got to make sure he makes it. So in this case, he, I was asking him throughout the day, how are you feeling? You know, you're not, you're not reacting in the, in the way that I'm usually used to when he comes down to big projects like this. And I got to make sure that they're saving the energy. So I navigate to the areas that it's not as painful. But in this case, I was like, bro, you're not telling me nothing. You're not reacting in a, in any sort of way and your body is super chill, super relaxed. The way I'm going to approach this mask is attacking the darker, the darkest area. So the tattoo, which is the, the corners here, this corner, just the solid black. That's what I'm going to be doing first. My approaches from dark to light to make sure that the mask stands out and it's super bright. And, um, yeah, let's go. You ready to feel some pain? Let's go. That's a good one. I'm going to take a wild guess and I'll say your back hurts more. So how, what was, what's the time for today? We're sitting at 11 hours and 16 minutes, 11 hours today. And yesterday it was eight hours, eight hours. So today we had a whole bunch of people show up and everybody was just watching him get tatted and everybody's like, does it hurt? Cause this bull does not show emotions, but I think it's so cool that everybody shows up and nobody, like nobody can tell that it's a cover up. And that makes me happy as hell. Almost there. I'm acting like if you're not handling it. Almost there, bro. You got it. You got it, bro. Let's go. What are you doing for today? That's it. No more. All right. That's it. All right there. 11 hours and 30 minutes right here. Yo. Once that mask came in, yo. Oh my God. Yo. You ready? It's ready. We're done though. We're done. What made you want to go through it back to back days? Just get it over with. Just get it over with. You're like, this is just a three days back to back. Did you like get nervous before you got tattooed? I was nervous. Don't get me wrong. But then once we got down, we sat on the chair, I'm like, all right. You're like, I got it. Yeah. At any moment you were like, I'm going to tap out. I can't do this. No. God. Damn. And during the process, did you get lightheaded? Did you get dizzy? Like you wanted to throw up, maybe got sleepy? Any of that? No. Nothing. It's a tattoo artist. You took good care of me though. Let's be honest. Got breakfast. I got water. That's true. That's true. I fed you well this weekend. How was it? Like the whole experience in general? It was great. Yeah. To be honest, I'm so glad I went with you. Honestly, the best experience ever. That's awesome. Yo, Mr. Reyes. Thank you. Thank you so much. Crazy ass experience. I definitely, I'm super proud of this one. I'm so excited to share this with everyone because not only did we just do a full back piece cover up, but it's the first one in the world. You know, the first back piece to get covered up with the whole another back piece. Other than that, man, it was my pleasure. I hope to see you again.
