 Today we got a big project. We're working on a big project on my boy Sam here. We already got the whole sleeve started. We only need this, and we have a gap in the back of his thighs, because he doesn't skip leg day. I like using a stencil stuff, no particular reason. So I put enough on my hands to cover the whole entire thigh. Even the areas that I know I'm not gonna be like, that it doesn't need it. I'm still adding it, because you never know. It's better to have extra than to be over here putting the perfect stencil, but then some areas didn't stick. All right, there it is. Perfect. For this one I use three papers. It is three papers put together. And then, just tell me you wanna be in the video full. I'm not staying. I'm not staying. So I, I'm gonna eyeball it. Under the... I think. Yeah, right there, should be fine. Perfect, perfect. Look at this, look at this stencil. Beautiful, sheesh. Nah, this is a beautiful stencil. I mean, the whole thing, it's perfect. Now we're just gonna let it dry for a little bit. We're gonna eat some breakfast and get this day started. Oh, all right. So we already got about 30 minutes in and I'm using my 14 round liner with my medium tone. My mid tone is 40% black and 60% white. So that's the tone that I'm gonna be using. I am running my machine at 5.0 and the way I know that I'm packing in the details nicely and it's going in smoothly without irritating the skin is I can hear this noise. Sounds loud. But this is what I'm gonna be doing throughout the whole entire beard with the same needle. I'm probably gonna change my needles once I get to the face on the top with my 27 curve mat. This is what you want to hear. I'm trying to figure out the millimeters on my needle, on my needle depth. How many millimeters do you think that is? Sticking out. Two? Yeah, all right. Maybe two to three millimeters. But if I was to put it in a little bit more, like inside, it wouldn't sound the same. See that? It doesn't have the same noise anymore. But if I was to stick it out a little bit more, see? It's like a huge difference. So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and keep going with the same technique. So that is it for this video. Thank you guys for watching on a weekly basis and we finally reached 50K. Thank you guys for subscribing. I really appreciate it. And what I'm gonna start doing now is answering questions on a weekly basis. So if you have a question, drop a comment and I will try to answer it on the following video. For this week's question is from Edward Dillon. Why is such a big grip on your machine? And I get this question so much and it's honestly nothing special about it. For the longest time I was using a smaller grip so it cost a lot of tension on my hand which cost a lot of pain on my forearm, my thumb, and all over my hand. So I can go deeper into this topic. I would address that on a later video. So yeah, after doing a little bit of research, I realized that using a bigger grip helped me a lot with the pain. What's up Frida? Why are you so mad? Why are you so mad? Relax. Why are you so mad? Okay, come here, come here. Damn Frida, relax.
