 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel as you can see we just opened up our new location And I am excited and more than happy to announce that we are hiring So if you're an artist and you have a solid clientele good energy good vibes Then getting contact with me. We are also accepting guest spots So if you want to get spot for a weekend or a whole week or two weeks, let me know But the first project I'm gonna be doing in this building is gonna be crazy this week I have my client flying in from Atlanta to get a full sleeve in two days So with that being said, let's get this day started What are your ideas as far as what you know, how you're trying to approach it? Yeah, I mean we have a big project So yeah, I did write down a couple ideas So one one thing that I generally kind of like that I see a lot is just like space stuff to me It looks really cool. Like I was just really thinking but I was trying to think well What about movies right because I'm a cinematographer and I was like what about movies that have inspired me or a Director for instance, my favorite director Christopher Nolan who has like movies like Inception and Like interstellar which again is like the space thing, you know say hey I want this to be obviously, you know, I put it in the email I want it to be something that you're super proud of because we're gonna do something epic for sure Okay, perfect. I think we have a more than enough to work with and I Feel like we just got to customize and put it together To bed at like a I went I went and got some of those gummies You knocked out I dosed up on those man, and I was out what made y'all want to move from your old place We haven't upstairs to what we're still fixing it feels weird just having a hairless arm And I just look better when you shave so I know I have to keep it shaved No, you're gonna have to keep it shaved dude. Look at the difference. No, it's insane. It's crazy, dude Like you're like half Mexican Well, that smells good. Yeah, it smells like I'm about to get the tattoo I smell pain. I smell pain Right there perfect. Let me concentrate up in here Relax your arm. I'm gonna have you check out the placement on the mirror What a project yeah, we're about to be in it Let's go some stars are getting excited about these stars Ready give it a sound effect. I'm gonna do three that's ready Like that So what I'm doing here, I am adding the white highlights and Because I don't want to come back to this to this to the forum So I'm just gonna do the whole entire thing with some oimin on it Keep it moisturized to what throughout the day that way what by the time we're done I don't have to come back to the bottom part of the Forum here and it's it's less painful Because as soon as I'm done with this I'm moving on to the arm and yeah, I don't I want to leave this area Finished so if you're thinking about doing a whole outer sleeve, there's two ways to approach it if you are Splitting the project into two days. I would suggest for you guys to do the forearm I mean the arm first That way you are wiping down in the second day do the form but since I'm doing it all in one day, I started from the bottom up and completing by sections or there's a there's a third way that you can do it, which I don't like it Personally, but it's also very effective where you start tattooing the arm You put on the stencil on the arm you finish it and then you guys take a break whatever and then You put on the second stand so on the form and continue to navigate through the outer sleeve But today I'm doing it only one day. I want to make sure that the form is completed before I touch the arm But other than that I am static Is that a word that is a word? ecstatic ecstatic with the X X I don't know how you yeah, or yes. Yeah. That doesn't sound right guys. I'm sorry It just doesn't make sense ecstatic. That's it. It sounds like somebody spelled it in Spanish ecstatic Can I get a sprite? You know, right? It's bright. Can we just switch it to an X just for today ecstatic ecstatic You know, I'm fine with it. Thank you good. Close enough. It just sounds it just sounds exquisite. Yeah How do you say the when you're about to finish and your home stretch There you go home stretch. Damn. I didn't know part of myself This is it We're almost done. I like how quiet it is and you can hear the machine My bad, you got it. Hmm. You're good. It's rough, but I'll be alright almost there. Come on Let's go son. Let's go Come to work here next time somebody asks you so how was your session? I don't know why he was sitting on my back This is definitely the worst I'm wondering if y'all see me I'll double cheeked up Double cheeked up I'm gonna be crying telling you dude. It's like it's painful. Oh, it's uh, she's tender on the other side Oh my lord Oh, yeah, bro, pull me my son, bro. I need to get hyped up right now. Honestly, bro today's gonna be a breeze You know Putting that man putting that in your your mentality. Good. That's a jam. I Don't know how many artists has given you a private dance, but I don't know man. I'm just saying Well under Facebook Something about you Yesterday to be honest, maybe we would have have but maybe you would have been so Like in pain. I thought of that too. I was like I could probably fight through this but I was like, but well, I end up like Convulsing when I get home I'm glad you showed up check it. Nobody else is coming First day of the week. Oh, you ready for the first day of the week? So this is officially the third day of tattooing When you reach a point where you just get super tired Everything's just gonna hurt, you know, everything just gets painful and yesterday I decided to call it because he I know he was gonna push through it if I was gonna if I would have told him hey, I want to keep going but I knew that it was just too painful his energy his stamina everything was just super low he was just pretty much done yesterday and I decided to call it because there's two things that could have happened if I would have kept going and This is a good tip for everybody who's looking into doing huge projects like this back to back if you keep going and the client is in pain There's he's either gonna go in a state of shock Where he's probably gonna throw up. Maybe he's gonna faint Maybe he's gonna just feel super tired and sick. Maybe get a fever. There's a lot of factors that can happen And you know, it's better just to call it if you have that extra day Obviously you can you know if your client is local then you can just you know I'll come back in two weeks, you know, but in this case for if you're an artist that gets clients from out of state Now that's where it gets tricky and you have to know when to stop how to navigate and how to approach that situation because you know if he starts feeling sick, what are you gonna do, you know and That's why I'm here. It's like an exit so you can see what I'm doing The smart thing you did in that case is that even though you knew you could do this in two days You told me on the front end, you know, hey three days, you know, and even That way I booked my trip accordingly, you know, yes Because we certainly could have finished yesterday and that would have gave me, you know, just another day here Not doing anything but at the same time thankfully we we thought ahead and We did have this extra time. Yes, and that helps, you know, I mean now today he came back and he's like, okay I'm ready, you know, like even though he knows he's gonna hurt At least now his energy levels are like up here. He had a good night's sleep good breakfast He has protein in his body and ready to go back at it, you know Because once you're mentally defeated like you're done, you know, there's no coming back from that. I was trying to like Psych myself up. Yeah, but it was like every time I'd say like you could you can do this I the other side of me was like, no, you can't know you can't Give up. I mean even you had food yesterday and you felt nauseous. Yeah, I couldn't even really eat my dinner cuz And that's the same you just you just going through a lot But yeah, I always booked that extra day just in case but anyways, what I'm gonna do now is Apply my blue here and my approach is gonna be Because right now his energy levels are up here. I'm gonna Attack these corners here even though it's gonna hurt. He has a lot of a lot of energy right now So I definitely want to put effort into the areas that is the most painful That way he can relax by the time I get to the planets and the you know Meteors and for this planets, I do want to add a darker background so the planets can be brighter And for the four entire sleeve the cartridge that I ended up using was a 14 round liner And the reason why is because I just feel super comfortable with packing color with this cartridge because I used it so much and I'm able to do faster coverage across the whole entire thing, you know very easy It allows me to move faster a 14 round liner for me is it's my go-to for everything And then as I'm going I'm just kind of leaving negative space in random spots for so I can add a white highlight and make it into a Star so it's not something I plan ahead. I just go with the flow. I'm just adding blue and then I'm like I might start right here, but I also Keeping in mind throughout the whole thing that I don't want to have two stars like next to each other So I probably do one to separate them one to separate them that way it's not full of white That's everywhere. So it's kind of nicely separated and even throughout the piece So since I have one here I'll have another one right here and then stay away from this area until I move on to a different spot As I get closer to the border here, I definitely want to I see this gap here And I'm gonna make it into a meteor because it's gonna make a good addition to connecting both sides And I just saw I just see shapes, you know And once I see that shape, I'm like, okay, that's that can turn into something Because at the end of the day if you have your meteors or if you have your concept memorized You're able to make decisions like that And I think I said this multiple times on different videos where if you can make something is something else Even though it's not it's not in your reference do it, you know Your best judgment, but you have to be a hundred percent sure That should be my slogan if you can turn it something into something else do it Don't be scared And on the bottom of that meteor Imperfections is what is gonna help you to make it look more realistic because you're gonna add a salt I'm gonna add a solid black line here to define the rock and Then this little imperfections is gonna seem like it's creating a highlight under that solid black that way you don't have you know dark tones Next to each other But here on the top make sure that it's solid solid perfect, so I'm gonna keep going with the same technique throughout the whole entire armpit and Move on to the planets Here we go last Three minutes you got it. You got sit You're good know what That kind of energy You made it You made it All right, so three days back to back 21 hours. What was the most painful part? I don't know the whole thing man that you're like I wouldn't do that again most painful part Is the armpit? No armpit armpit for sure the ditch area and then The wrist the wrist and yeah, I didn't see you kind of like hurting down the wrist Well, I thought the wrist was bad. Yeah What about the elbow the elbow sucked yeah elbow was pretty bad, too I think yesterday when I was when I did your tricep. That's when it went to shit, you know, because I Quickly yeah, I I feel like I could have navigated better on like going through the middle And then working my way to the tricep But I feel like I was like, you know Let's get the tricep out of the way and that messed it up because that drained your energy like crazy Yeah, I mean all of the skin on the backside is tender. There's a lot of ink back. That's a lot of ink packed in Yeah, and I I hope that when I take the pictures, I'm able to capture like all this color because it's like It's so bright. It's like super bright. Oh night one was rough. I Got like two hours of sleep. So I think day two. I was really my stamina was already down Oh, yeah, no sleep. Yeah, I didn't get much sleep I felt kind of dehydrated because the night day night one before I came in on day one Yeah, I drank a crap ton of water and then during that day you didn't drink I feel like because the most important thing when it comes down to doing big projects like this It's just being hydrated and have a ton of sleep and you going on two hours of sleep and no water By the time we got to the point of like your breaking point, then that's when you got nauseous other than that Damn, we made it. I thought you were gonna fight me at some point, too Yeah, I got a little hangry at some point yesterday I was like, this was gonna fight me right now. No, dude. I mean Mr.. Is Kevin he's great What you guys see in these videos is who he really is, right? Like thank you so much. Yeah, you know, it's he's he's good to be around fun Try to make the experience.
