 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week my client came all the way from Los Angeles, California to get a cover up done And I am excited. So first thing is first We're gonna have breakfast to discuss his ideas and discuss the concepts and what we're gonna do So let's get these days started. So right now you have So this is what he has right now look at that This is why he has when did you get this tattoo? Whoo? So I'm 24. Mm-hmm. I got it 17 no, oh 14 I was expecting like Yeah, I got my first set to have 14, but that was in my first tattoo What my first my first tattoo was I was gonna send you that one, but my first tattoo some arm I don't want to sense you cuz I'm like, you know what? What if you don't want to do it? And this one is definitely This one was I want to send you this but I'm like, you know, like I'm gonna just like see what he says about this If I get a reply or not, I mean you can feel every single. No. Yeah. Yeah. It's like it's bad. It's bad $20 Some guy I don't even know it is living room My friends like oh, we're gonna go to my one of my friend's house So he has a tattoo machine and he's learning how to do tattoos. He's gonna do my back for $20 So then I went with him and then he's like, oh you want a tattoo? I'm like, I'm only 14 dude. He's like He's like, do you have $20? I'm like, I could get $20. Yeah, I can get $20. Okay. What do you want to get? I did I just looked at him and I'm like, oh, what should I get? Cuz I'm a kid, you know And then I'm like, you know what let me search up some quotes, you know Google's Let's do it And it didn't hurt at all, you know, so yeah Yes, sir Yeah, look good. Dang. That's for everybody. I got something like that man. I'm getting some basic toast Hey, if you're on a diet, you're on a diet I like the fact that all these little wrinkles there the eyes look, you know, the face looks fierce You know, I mean looks angry. I like that a lot Obviously, I don't want to show you more options just in case That was a super top. Yeah, that looks nice. That looks nice, too And then we have let me see the tattoos again. I want to see how big they are This one is not bad. So that's good. This one is the one that I have to focus on Okay, because I mean I have countless ideas here That one that one wouldn't work This one. Yeah. Oh Actually that might work Of my word. Oh, it goes right through the Targaryen too Did we find it? Now as far as so everything black and gray, would you consider some color into it? I'm down for color in there Let's go Yeah, that's what I was thinking like, oh, is it gonna be black and gray because I I'm open to color, dude Oh shit Let me show the camera real quick. Oh Well, I'm gonna do something crazy with this those purples on that face low-key fire. Yeah. Oh That's purple. Yeah, that's kind of like a purplish gray Oh my yeah, you're gonna get down Done. Let's do it. Let's go Placed it where I knew it was gonna help me out a lot to cover it up a lot easier So the darkest area of this piece is the bottom area bottom of the chin has a whole bunch of contrast So I'm able to do a whole bunch of black here with some purples Obviously the eye I wanted it to land in the middle of that skull because that eye is gonna be Yellow with some whites and highlights. So I definitely need that to land. I definitely needed that to land in the middle of that skull This is very light. So it's not gonna give me any problems, but we'll see who knows. I might mess up I just Let's get this right. All right, so this is what we got going on right here So what I started doing what I did first is I did the background because I really need to see My values in this tattoo I'm gonna have a little bit of color and some highlights bright highlights So I need to know how dark I can make certain areas in order for me to make it pop a lot more So we're gonna start with Just going in with my 14 round liner here running my machine at 5.0 This part of the tattoo as you can see is a little bit scarred. It's glossy Which means that it has a scar. It's you can feel the lines a little bit But it's not extremely bad, you know, so Let's go in All right, so I already did the neck There was not much To explain it's pretty it's pretty much self-explanatory. I'm gonna start adding texture now We have to keep in mind that I'm gonna be adding purple Here and here on some areas give it that that hint of purple on the face All right, so exactly what I've been doing throughout this whole entire thing I'm gonna apply it to the top as well. So what I'm gonna do now. I'm just gonna finish it off with Finish off this area here by adding a lot of texture with black And then I'm gonna start recording and explain how I'm gonna start applying my purple in between those gaps All right, so let's get right into it if you're tattooing with With a voltage that's a lot higher There is a possibility. Let's just say you're packing in at 10 There is a possibility that you might scar the skin. So you got to be careful with that Now if one of you tattoos with a higher voltage and you haven't experienced that let us know what you do differently if you Have you needle more inside the tube or you tattoos lower faster Or a couple passes. Let us know exactly how you're doing it. Maybe we can learn something new today On the next clip that you guys are gonna watch is the part where I'm applying my teal color and as I'm doing it I realized that I don't like it. Like I just don't like the way it's looking. It looks transparent It just doesn't look as vibrant as I envisioned. So Yep So that's what happened today and uh, yeah, enjoy So now we already completed most of the statue So now we're gonna be applying my color tilt, which is by solid ink Um, it's a really light color. So Uh on the gaps that I have now In between the statue I'm gonna be applying that the only problem right now is that even though My client is not showing any Symptoms or any signs that he's in. Uh, it's cruciating pain The way that I'm gonna approach this is I'm gonna, um Open up the skin. So the way I'm gonna do that I'm gonna grab my 14 mile liner and go at it just Start whipping the needle across this area That way the skin is gonna open the pores are gonna open I'm gonna apply the back team and the pores since they're already open. They're gonna The back team is gonna go right through those pores and uh numb the skin So I'm just gonna like whip it like so Here we go real nice and quick I'm doing it with this color because obviously I'm gonna be using it. So might as well start like Setting the tone There you go quick, how does it feel? You know what you know what All right, here you go real quick opening up the pores You don't have to be packing it all you got to do is just run your needle through the skin And that's gonna be enough for the pores to open There you go, that's it So as you can see you see the little pores already open. Look at that He got goosebumps. He got chicken skin Here's the back team So I'm just gonna spray it That's it and let it sit for the next 10 to 15 minutes And that's gonna be solid. He's not gonna feel nothing All right, here we go. So as you can see now, it's been about 15 minutes. You can see Um the goosebumps. I can see the goosebumps So that means that it's ready to go So that way I'm gonna apply the this color since it's really like you gotta make sure that you pack it So right now he can kind of feel it. Um It is not as bad as it was before It definitely helped if I would have let it sit a little bit longer. It would have been a lot better But since he's uh tough He don't feel it So here it is, man I don't like this color No, I didn't like it I'm gonna do a stronger a stronger a stronger turquoise. No, you know what? This is like this is good content. You know what? This is I'm gonna keep it real I'm gonna keep it real. I didn't like this color. It's too light It's not gonna stand out as much. So I'm gonna use a turquoise. I mean like this is this is what I want people to see That I'm not always like Perfect on everything Yeah, I know it's too light. I feel like the way it's gonna heal. It's not gonna be good Keep it real Adding this color here solid ink And it is uh, it's called agave, but it obviously looks turquoise Um, I just thought that that till was gonna be a lot better But uh, apparently not it looks transparent. So yeah, I'm not digging that There we go. There we go better. There we go There's the one look at that. Oh Man, all right. Here we go Small little changes can go a long way Yes, sir Right away right away Seeing as you can see the colors going in super smooth. Um I just didn't feel the till you know, I just didn't like the way it was packing and uh Before I continued with it I just follow my guide and I said, you know what I'm just gonna switch it up I've been so busy in tattooing That I haven't had a chance to record a lot of my projects and editing is definitely hard work Because it takes me a lot of hours on top of that.
