If you're a tattoo artist and you want to learn how to do cover ups and use true grace then come to my upcoming seminar here in Phoenix, Arizona. It will be a two-day seminar and I will be sharing everything I know and I mean everything. If this is something you're interested in send your submission to MrPeriod Regis underscore seminar at yahoo.com. Limited spots are available so make sure to reserve your seat as soon as you can. Thank you guys and I cannot wait to see you. Peace, let's go! It's gonna be an amazing event and I've been planning it out for a couple months now. The main purpose of this seminar is to make sure that you guys are no longer scared of cover ups you know because I feel like cover ups can be very intimidating so my purpose is to make sure that you are no longer afraid and you guys and you can say you know what I can do that cover up easy How did you do the tattoo? Where did you do it? Who did it for you? Well this was in Ohio. Ohio. The two things. I wanted the tattoo to be cheap, thinking that it would look good. In that time, how long... Oh mom, the best question is when did you do it? The two were two different times. The letters took longer than the letters in about 13 years. 13 years. So the other one has about 10 or 11. And where was it like? Was it at the shop? Was it at home? No, it was at home. At home, yes. I've never been to a shop. Wow, this is the first time. Wow, you waited 13 years to cover this. Easily, yes. Have you tried to cover it before? No, after so much criticism. And where did you come from right now so that people know? Oh, I'm staying in Xissimi, Florida. Florida. And how is the weather now? It's good. It's hot? It's hot. Oh, well, after 13 years, it's ready. This is going to go. These areas here where is the part of the back, it's not scarred, but it's dark. It can be complicated if you don't know how to handle the dark areas. So you have to pay a lot of attention to the concept that you're going to do, how you're going to do it, and how you're going to highlight it. Because very easily I can contrast it as dark as I can and it's going to get noticeable. But the important thing is to decipher how to do it so that it highlights the medium concept with the background. So not only adding black, it's to know how to balance everything. The concept that we have here is going to be this type, this type. Galaxy type, this one, in the inner part of the forearm, we're going to focus today, and tomorrow it will return to do the outside part with the hand. So it's going to be a very, very cool project. So we're going to put this sensor that is here that we are going to start with the astronaut. And inside the helmet, I made a skull. Perfect. The reason why I didn't design anything in the background behind the astronaut is because I feel much better knowing that I have the freedom to add in certain areas, galaxies, stars, comets. I, as I say in all the videos, I study a lot my designs, so right now I'm confident that I already memorized several areas of the concept. So I'm going to make decisions while I'm tattooing, where I think it's going to look better, where it's going to be the level, the detail of this concept, so it's going to be very interesting. Perfect. Very good. The best advice I can give right now is that if you have something similar to this that you're going to have to cover, take into account that the most part of the concept is going to be your own knowledge. So keep that in mind, where you study the whole concept very well so that you can make decisions. Anything else you want to add? No, nothing. I think I'm in good hands. That's why I'm here. I'm here. It's a pleasure and an honor. The pleasure is mine. We've already advanced this project. My client has already cried a couple of times, but no problem. After a couple of hours we've already reached the point where I would like to explain a little bit about how to apply the ink. Today's topic is not to force the ink to try to cover the previous tattoo. The reason why sometimes a lot of people have problems covering a tattoo is because they want to force the ink that enters. It has a lot to do with the mixes you have and the pressure of the hand. So I'm going to start basically showing how to cover these lines. I'm using my medium tone with a voltage of 5.0 and my 14 RL needle. So at this point I'm going to try more or less to see how dark my medium tone is and what you can see is almost exactly the tone that the previous tattoo has. So that means it's good. If the tone is very clear and you can see the ink of the other tattoo, that means that your mix is bad and not because you keep forcing it and forcing it, it means that you're going to cover it. That's the worst decision you can make. The best thing you can do is to reconsider the tone you have, the mix of your tones and keep practicing, because this comes after practicing a lot with the tones and knowing how certain mixes are going to be seen. So it's very good to practice one day before or put it into practice. Right now what I'm doing is a map of where I want the wrinkles of the shirt to be. It's not anything final, it's just me doing the map. I'm going to return with my lighter and darker tones to define those areas and to highlight them. And I'm never going to get tired of repeating that please don't use the white to try to cover black, it will never work. The white is not strong enough to cover black, only the gray and black solid. The white is used only in areas where it is required to highlight a little extra, but it's not to cover it, it's just to highlight certain areas. When it comes to cover up it's very important that creativity comes in, because sometimes the reference you have won't work in certain areas, so it's a matter of memorizing the design and putting yourself creative, using what the other tattoo has and feeling that confidence that you can be spontaneous and say, you know what, I'm going to add this in this area, I'm going to add the other and it's going to look good, because I know what I have to do. So it's very important, it's very important. Be creative, don't be afraid of the cover up, if you're going to go into a cover up and you're afraid of it, no, it's not a good idea, because you're automatically being beaten up and you're afraid of it and you're not going to do well, so to do cover up you need to focus on the fear. To the conclusion of what I wanted to say is that when doing a cover up don't force the ink, everything has to be simple, this tone is going to be here and it's going to cover up, so if you see that you're making a problem and the ink is coming out from below, don't keep forcing it, breathe in and say, okay, what am I doing wrong? Think a little more about your ink mixes and keep going. If you feel that it's not covering up, stop in the session, go home and go back to study that cover up and a second session would be much better, instead of forcing it, because it's much better to go home and think about continuing to force it and forcing the ink and that the skin is going to psychatize it very badly, right? That they make it hard and that the skin is very ugly, so practice and that's it. We finally finished day one, it's over after we started three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, what is it nine? After about six hours, we finally finished the inner part of the forearm, which was the astronaut, tomorrow what we are going to do is going to be the outer part, which is the part of the hand, the top, to basically finish around the forearm and the hand, so how did you feel? Oh, good, super good, I'm sure of the work. It didn't hurt, did it? No, almost nothing. Ready, so for tomorrow? Sure. Second day. Now we are going to start the second day of this project, the concept of today is going to be the planets, this one is already on the skin, so we are going to be doing a little bit of freehand, I only made the extensive two planets and from there I'm going to base on everything else. The rose was a cover-up too, so it's going to be a cover-up on top of another cover-up, below here there is a name and they decided to cover it with the rose and now we are going to cover it with a planet, well, what I want is that the upper part stays in the area where it is not dark so that it gives it the contrast so that it gives it like the shine above the planet, we are going to put the other planet up here, we are going to add a meteorite over here, a kind of stone, I'm going to take off the planet like this area, I'm going to follow this dividing line here because after this area, it starts to erase as time goes by and up here we are going to make another meteorite, those galactic gases with those galactic gases, we are going to put the galactic gases in here, I do not even know if it is said that I am inventing the terminals of these galactic gases, if someone knows the correct terminal, leave a comment and let me know that I am bad
