 how's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week my client has this cross on his right arm that he no longer likes and he wants to get rid of it so with that being said let's get this day started let's do it so you just got tattooed huh a couple weeks ago a couple weeks you just getting blasted right now then yeah what made you want to start getting tattoos now oh you know I've wanted to for a long time yeah we moved around for a little bit and I finally settled down to a point where we get some stuff done and you're like I'm ready yeah I got a couple we came from Montana that's where this one came from I got a couple more here when I was way younger but I wanted to fill up the arms and like I said when I finally got here yeah right there was this spontaneous tattoo as well it kind of wasn't kind of wasn't my cousin went to got our first one so they kind of rolled with her so that we'd get one together uh-huh so I guess yeah it was more more less spontaneous how old is it how old is that tattoo? gosh that one's 20 years? 20 years wow it's like it's right it's time it's time it's yeah it's been time have you tried to get it covered up in the past by somebody else no no this is it just I started with my right arm because I didn't really have anything on it I did but I had something I didn't want to remove so they kind of worked around it this was kind of the secondary one so I was working my way that way mm-hmm interesting well when I came here I was working with Jesse I was working on a piece that was like that's that's the guy that's awesome I'm gonna get something covered we're gonna we're gonna get him up until he says yeah you manifested it I tried a couple times and oh yeah through email yeah oh I guess intense in there I know I mean the ink looks pretty pretty faded so that's good still pretty solid not as dark as I imagine I thought it was gonna be darker in person yeah I guess I was like pictures never tell you you know exactly the truth they're very deceiving especially on Instagram yeah and I was like I can do it I was like with the right concept so this is what we're gonna be doing today he has the cross in the middle of his arm and he got it done about 20 years ago so that means that the ink is gonna be very weak and he's gonna make the process a lot easier and when I mean easier you still have to have knowledge in it you still have to be able to have experience with that cover ups and be able to choose the right image as well because if you don't have the right concept to cover this up it is not gonna work but the process it is gonna be really easy it's not gonna give me any problems I seen worse for sure for sure shout out to Alfonso he did Thanos Thanos or Thanos Thanos why why is it pronounced Thanos because I mean in you know a ABC Thanos unless somebody like in Spanish wrote it it's like let's call it a Thanos and somebody's like boy has TH so let's call it Thanos yeah and then it's Spanish because you don't pronounce the H so it's pronounced Thanos it makes no sense perfect I'm gonna have you relax your arm oh what a stencil what a stencil oh man let me see relax your arm oh that placement is crazy yep I'm gonna have you check it out on that mirror make sure you like the placement cuz what if I like it but you don't oh no that's that's the one that's the one that's it just do it so I went ahead and basically did the whole entire jacket but I do want to spend time explaining how I'm gonna do the mask there's a lot of tones a lot of texture it's constantly changing tones so I feel like it's a good spot to kind of stop and kind of take you guys through my thought process on how I'm doing that so I'm gonna start right here on this area and with my solid black first I'm with the solid black I'm gonna make sure that the end of the mask is super sharp and super sharp that way kind of like that way I can separate where the neck is and the mask I'm using a 14 mile liner running my machine at 5.0 like always after using my solid black I'm gonna slowly start dipping it in in my medium gray so now I'm gonna dip it once on my medium gray without cleaning the needle from black to medium dip it again on my medium gray just once and it's slowly gonna start changing the tones now I'm gonna dip it now on my lightest gray once perfect see how the tones now are changing there the consistency from dark to light is very very good right now and that is because I'm slowly dipping it from my black to my medium to my light slowly transitioning now I'm going back to my medium gray now stepping back I do feel like I need a little bit more black on this corner here so I might go back at it just one more time to make sure that I'm not overworking the skin so this is the last layer I'm gonna be adding and there you go so I'm gonna go ahead and continue to do the same exact process throughout the whole entire mask and yeah when I first when I first started recording on my tattoos I've always felt so awkward you know like hey guys like talking to an imaginary person in front of me but then after a while I got used to it takes time yeah I can't imagine like like for you you know I mean it's your first time it's kind of like you know like I'm getting recorded you know it's not it's not an ordinary day it's awesome for this it shouldn't be right it shouldn't be it's supposed to be a unique day today quick little update so what I'm gonna do is work on the head on this area here and my approach is gonna be by making it as black as I can right on that edge of that head to give it that high contrast and blend it out towards the eyebrow then after that I'm gonna explain what background I'm choosing to use that way it doesn't get lost with the head and the background and it has a nice separation between the head and the background so as in right now I'm just gonna do a quick time lapse of me blacking out the back of the head here and blending it towards the eyebrow let's do it your paint tolerance is crazy oh I tapped out with games so don't say that too loud you tapped out with game haha he tapped out with you game man look I'm just saying I went in hard today I don't know my guy look I'm just gonna say he didn't tap out with me oh Jesse or Fonzie anyways here we go let's finish this like he wasn't bothering you as much as you thought I just know it wasn't the route I wanted to go the way back when I got it I didn't expect to fill it up either so oh then that's true so you didn't have plans for that either oh what was the most painful part all that probably the last part you did the tricep huh right on that oh this is my favorite part right let's take pictures see you guys next week and if you are tattoo artist I hope you learn something from this video and if you are tattoo enthusiasts I hope you're very entertained thank you guys for watching I'll see you guys next week peace
