 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week? My client is flying in from California to get his whole forum tattooed. It's a two-day project We're gonna be doing the inner and outer forum and connecting it to the top of his arm So with that being said let's get this day started. Let's go and John Let's get it You ready my dude? Yes, sir About time Have a seat It's a lie Send me a video while I'm behind your back Like I help you out. Oh you shamed my door. Damn. You're so nice Let me see stretch it this way. Yes, sir Hey, shawty my reset. Got it. It's on the English at first. Yeah, right? Sounds like a like a old school Yeah Quite exquisite quite meticulous my dude Ticklish meticulous. All right, go ahead and check it out. I'm sure like the placement Don't let my excitement blind you So for this piece while my approach that I'm gonna be taking is here on this corner Starting here with the statues on the bottom I'm gonna be using a 3-1 liner with a voltage of a 5.0 Then I'm moving up to the portrait which I'm gonna be using an 11-curve mag And then on the butterfly Probably a 7 round liner with my 11 curve mag and then a 7 round liner for the Greek circle here. You ready, bro? I'm explaining way too many things. Mama, you're good You can tell me we like yo stop and tattoo my dude. It's all good. I came here to get yatted Here we go. We have a I'm gonna start doing the faces now For the faces, I'm gonna be using my 14 round liner Cartridge by Ambition. I've been using these cartridges now for some time now, and I love these cartridges That's why you know, I keep getting them if you guys want to purchase them Have that link on the description. First tone that I'm gonna use is my medium gray And I'm gonna start here on the corner just to start seeing how dark my tone really is And that's gonna allow me to know How light I should Go getting closer to the highlight part of the face Here you go. That's a nice tone. I like it. I'm gonna slowly start transitioning to my light gray So as you can see my tone is already changing And I'm doing layers very close to each other that way I can make that transition quick and smooth and then with this same tone I'm gonna use it to Do the shadow here on the bottom of the chin I'm gonna use this tone out to use it here on that eyelid Now here I'm being very careful to not add too much On the eyelid here, so I have my medium gray just enough just to give me that shade on the bottom Careful Okay, and to finish it I'm gonna make sure that that hair on the top is nice and crispy with my solid black And I'm gonna be using my 3-1 liner for this and I'm gonna give it a nice crispy line This is gonna help to register where the hair ends and where the forehead begins Perfect, I'm gonna do the same exact thing to the other side and keep going with the whole piece With my 11 curve Mac I'm gonna be doing the chin area gonna be running my machine at 5.0 and mostly for the whole thing I'm gonna I think I'm gonna be using my medium gray for me to be able to navigate through it nicely it might change though during the while I'm doing it and On the bottom of those wings I'm gonna add like a drop shadow right there Day number two my dude Yeah I'll be late now You're gonna be like this the whole day This song is just the sauce bro into myself So I'm doing Hercules today and the placement is the outer form because When you see a statue it doesn't lose any Any features even if it stretches a little bit It doesn't really matter because a statue has such a strong features that you're gonna know who it is From a mile away, you know So that is why I chose to put Hercules on the outer and I chose to put the goddess psyche on the inner Looks crazy. Yeah Just like let me see You go around the whole room All of my god Beer done pretty much done and right now what I'm gonna be doing is the cheek hair. You can pull the chair So with my 11 curve Mac what I'm gonna do is start attacking the corner of this beer here because I want to make sure that that stands out It's a very soft area of the statue. So I'm gonna use my medium gray with my 11 curve mag With a voltage of a 5.0 And this is my medium gray. I like my medium gray because I'm able to Create different tones with the same tone What I like doing is Not doing such a sharp edge to the beer There's I want it. I want to make it look like it's almost Fading into the next thing, you know, so here you go So first thing I'm gonna start brushing it even though I'm running at a 5.0 I'm still able to pack it in because my needle depth is is Really far out and I'm able to pack it in with the lightest pressure So then after that I'm gonna go up here Just to start creating the shape of the cheekbone It's almost like a puzzle. I am I'm putting it together and Attacking the contrast areas first Yeah, no, it's got cover up or not. I used to Yeah, I used to for sure So I'm doing a short strokes The reason why is because it allows me to pack it in faster Less irritation and I'm able to pack it in that way I want to if I was doing longer strokes It will give me because it is a slow voltage It will give me a lot of lines across it if I was with my hand faster, but because I'm doing short strokes It's allowing me to do smooth transitions between the the tones here If somebody was running their machine at 8 to 9 volts, maybe 10 Then doing doing longer strokes. It's doable, you know, but definitely not with with true grace with great was yes because You don't have to pack it in it's mostly just Brushing brushing the skin. Yeah Now that I have the contrast here on the cheekbone What I'm going to do next is start making this a little bit darker So I can make sure that I'm start I start looking at the contrast in a different way Not being sharp sharp exactly and that is because I'm using what I already have To kind of blend it out and give it a curve to it. It's not a hard to explain because I can see it But try to explain it Yeah Pretty much or or I also do texture you can't see the texture But I'm also doing a lot of texture on the beer the little scribbles a little dots and circles That's what I'm doing on the beer with the 14-round shader So now that I have the the basic shape of the cheekbone here now I Do see that it's a little too sharp for me right there So now I'm going to fade it out So with my same same cartridge my 11 curve mag I'm gonna brush it just enough so I can get rid of that sharpness of that beer Just so it can give it more like a natural feel like if it's actually curving so we have it here And I'm gonna slowly I'm gonna get on this position. So I'm gonna cover that camera real quick Let's get rid of that sharpness and this time I'm actually gonna brush it I want to be super gentle with it To make sure that I don't I don't I don't do too much and there you go just enough There you go. So I'm gonna continue doing the same thing across the whole face and repeat the same process dark to light Short strokes 11 curve mag with a 5.0 voltage. All right, so I'm moving at a good pace I really like the rhythm that I'm that I have right now, which is moving up Navigating through it nicely. I'm gonna start doing the socket of the eye now and Honestly, that's one of my favorite parts about statues because that's what makes the whole face come together That's what makes the whole thing Happen it gives the whole statue personality. So that's definitely one of my favorite parts about statues So with the eye socket the first thing I'm gonna do is Apply my contrast. That's the first thing I'm gonna do. I want to set the tone I want to make sure that I'm not going way too dark so first thing is apply my my my solid black then I'm gonna dip it in in my medium gray and And attack the whole entire eye socket give it a shape and at the end I'm gonna go back to my solid black just to finish off some areas give it more contrast or on the on the areas that it needs it so Black medium gray then back to my black The whole thing I'm gonna be using my 14 round liner with the 5.0 voltage. So here we go Oh I got the guzzabones bro chicken skin turkey pimples
