 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week? I'm gonna be doing my clients first tattoo and it is always such an honor to do somebody's first tattoo So with that being said, let's get this day started. Let's go Se cono soy perfecto Pero es mi manera de sanar deja de llevar más lento All right, sir have a seat have a seat. How does it feel exciting exciting huh? I forgot what it feels like The feeling of getting your first tattoo been so long. Where'd you get your first tattoo done? I'm in my room by me My side really Look at your skin, bro. It's so nice. Oh I thought about it. I was like have I ever had like a shaved arm and I was like, I don't think so You never had a shave down before me. I don't have nothing to shave I was like, it'll be interesting It'll be interesting to see your arm naked. Yeah, so you said from you from Utah. Yeah, southern Utah born-in-race Yeah, and then you were like, I'm gonna fly to Arizona. No, I drove. I drove Well, I drove yesterday. I got here like, I don't know five and I was just driving around and I was like Dang, this is a college town. I saw everybody everybody had a backpack. I was like And then we got two fingers right here to make sure that keep it professional nice and clean It's like you're peeling off something from like a you know, like a new iPhone or something When it comes down to doing a sleeve it's very important to keep in mind if you what route you want to take Either you do the you cut it off on the wrist area and how you want to cut it off Either you can cut it off by doing a solid line or you can cut it off by doing a smooth fade out towards the hand either way Just remember that to ask the client first to see what he's comfortable with and what he wants to do with the sleeve There's people that would want to take it all the way down close to the palm So they can connect it to the hand in the in the future. I personally like to when somebody's starting a sleeve I like to start off with cutting it off with two fingers to keep it professional They can wear a long sleeve and you won't be able to tell that they have a tattoo unless they roll it up But in some cases my clients would just tell me hey, you know what I don't mind I want my tattoo to show and it's all up to that client at the end of the day However, you decide to do it plan in advance and think about the future how you want to connect it in the future How what you want to do with this leave what's the route, you know But in this case, I suggested to keep it nice and professional. He's a nurse So I want to make sure that it looks nice, you know when he rolls up his sleeve He's gonna be able to know he's gonna be able to show his tattoo But if he rolls down his sleeve, then you won't be able to tell and he can wear a watch whatever he wants to wear, you know All right, I'm gonna have you check out the placement. Make sure you like what you see Okay, so today I'm gonna be doing a full-color lion and my plan and my approach is gonna be Working from the bottom to the top making sure that I keep in mind You know when it comes down to the contrast the highlights where everything's at the tones that I'm gonna be using is a lot of browns a lot of gold beige colors The reason why is because you would assume that a lion is yellow But in technically if you really look at it the the colors are pretty much more like in the gold brown side So I'm gonna be using a lot of that mixing back and forth with my gold my browns my kind of like reddish browns and Mixing mixing it all together the part that I'm gonna go in depth is the part that I'm gonna go in depth is the nose area There is a lot of wrinkles There's a lot of different tones and a lot of textures and everybody knows that I love textures So I'm gonna be using a 7 round liner or maybe a 9 round liner Depending on how I see it, but as in right now I'm gonna start with my 9 round liner with a voltage of about 5.0 Ready to party hahaha You're heart racing yet kind of like a Minor heart palpitations, but other than that, we're good. We're hanging in there Take me through your thought process How's that? It's good It's more like a like a small like needle prick. Mm-hmm, and then It just kind of goes away kind of goes away Did you think it was gonna be worse than this? I mean, you don't know what to expect when you're first time. So yeah, you have nothing to compare it to that's true but Did you ask your friends what it feels like to get out of your first tattoo? Yeah, half of them are like I cried the whole time and I'm like well that doesn't give me any Where is the support? I ain't trying to cry all the whole time maybe doing the whiskers the the nose and the top of the bridge of the nose and First what I'm gonna do is apply my solid black and then after that I'm gonna start using my browns and then and then slowly transferring to my lightest shade of brown and a little bit of yellow so mixing everything together to create those tones and There's many different ways of executing a lion or any color piece And this is just the way I that's gonna work out for me the best and to navigate nicely So if you have a different method or a different approach drop it down in the comments And let me know how you were approached a color a full-color lion piece. How are you feeling? Okay That highlight was you know a little bit rough but other than So now I'm gonna start doing the Bridge of the nose here is I'm gonna use my seven round liner I'm using the cartridges from higher level and you guys can purchase this cartridges on their website Which I'm gonna drop the link on the description Quick little outline so make sure that I don't lose this wrinkle of the nose Going in here too Now that I'm looking at it. I think I'm actually gonna use a 40 mile liner The seven-round liner was a little too sharp for me right now, so that's why I'm gonna switch into my 14-round liner There you go much better Little adjustments, this is my way of doing and color pieces and my approach What really works out for me But there's so many ways that you can execute it And I'm not necessarily packing it in what I'm doing is I using the scribble technique and I just go all over the place so it can give me the The texture that I'm looking for and then I'm gonna go back in with my darker with my darker bottom Okay, now that I have that my first layer I'm gonna grab my seven-round liner and I'm gonna use it to create the texture of the Wrinkles here Same thing using the scribble technique Now I'm gonna slowly start doing the scribble technique inside of here Just I'm gonna build it up. I want to make sure that I don't go too dark or too light so By me separating this dots and the texture it's gonna allow me to see my tones a lot better and That way I'm not just packing in color and irritating the skin This is gonna allow me to take my time See everything because I feel that the nose is the most important part of this piece Because it has the most texture. It's basically what what determines the The feel of this tattoo, you know the the personality Alright, so I'm gonna continue doing the same thing across the whole nose It is gonna take me a lot longer to execute all this little detail So I'm definitely gonna time lapse the way I'm gonna do the whole nose, but it is taking me a while So I definitely wanna time lapse it so you guys can see the whole process
