 Before we get this video started, I just want to say that if you're a tattoo artist and you're thinking about doing a cover-up on darker skin Complexion, please make sure that you are 100% comfortable with your tattoo application and you have enough knowledge in cover-ups How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week my clients flying in from New York to get a cover-up done and what he's getting done It's a full back piece. I book my client for four days one day consultation three days tattooing Just in case I need that extra day to finish it off, but with that being said, I am so excited Let's just get this day started. Let's go So now a couple years later now you want to get this covered up. Yeah, it's about that time Do your friends give you Barely seen it the ones who have we're like In the back of the head of life Yeah, when I see your email well because we were reading it. I don't know if you said Yeah, I was actually watching it with my wife. Oh, I was like, oh I have a back tattoo that I had one covered up I live in New York City and in the military. It seems like he's open sounds like he's pretty much open to suggestions I'll do it. I'll do it. Yeah All right, so We have this This project So now we got to look for options. We got to look for options Did you sleep yesterday? Oh, oh shit. Oh shit Were you able to sleep last night? Not really you were just thinking huh like what it's gonna happen tomorrow But are you good right there? Okay, you're the star You're supposed to be in every shot You're trying to get out of the way Down the person who did this lie in here went in a little bit Harder on you just a little bit not too much. It was like like inside the face Yes inside the face. He he tried to pack a whole bunch of detail You don't have a lot of hair. That's good Where I'm from we call them la lampiños people who don't have a lot of hair. Yeah, that's me I don't have no hair. I don't even know my face. I didn't start getting hair until I was like 24 24 yeah What? You're telling me I still got hope? What is this? I didn't have any I was like don't be giving me what the hell is going on. I don't want to be 30 and like wait wait a minute So this is what we're gonna be doing today First day is gonna be the face of the lion here on the top and it's a it's a great concept I like it because it's gonna fit your back and then you're getting something that you like It's like an upgrade of what you The stencil product that we're gonna be using is Jesus juice. I mean using it so much and I really like the way it works So if any of you want to use this product feel free to follow a higher level tattoo supply store And I'm gonna go ahead and tag them on the description and order your Jesus juice because this is this is solid So my goal putting on this stencil is making sure that this part of the face lands Here since it's the darkest part of his back. So I got to make sure that the contrast Is here and my highlights are gonna be on this side making sure that this is gonna pop on the right direction Here we go Perfect the forehead. I already landed on the right spot. This is this area is gonna be my highlight area So perfect placement already That suspense is killing you Just start already food. I'm taking your time We're gonna start with the eye You go. How's that? Nothing. It's like it ain't nothing I'm not gonna cry The approach that I'm gonna be taking for this tattoo is starting with my darkest areas then moving on to Whatever it's like a medium tone and finishing off with looking at my highlights so the key for this project is to make sure that you're Always conscious about where you're highlighting your contrast is That's the only way and never lose sight of that. It doesn't feel exactly how you remember Yeah It doesn't change. It's not like a bad pain Unless it was like on a bone or something then it would be like, oh For me tattooing bones is cringy because once you hit that bone, it sounds like Sounds like a bone is breaking. I don't like that sound. I don't like that feeling Facts Longer than what I thought. Yeah. What time is there like eight almost eight almost eight It was the middle part, huh? The part that you were made. I don't know if I can yeah It was killer. What time did we start we started at ten and yeah round ten, huh? This is is this your longest session? I think so You yeah, I'm pretty sure yeah You're welcome How does it feel you're getting a huge piece? I'm excited Cuz it's not it's not just a huge piece. It's a good Piece it's something I want But today is a two and we're gonna complete the bottom part of his back What I'm gonna test in our way that's gonna look good because We have the spine here if I was to place the face right here. The face is just gonna Change it's just gonna the features are gonna change It's been I was hoping that I was gonna finish in two days, but there's a lot more to do and I definitely need that extra Day to finish this back piece. I definitely forgot to record the whole day. I was hella focused all day. We were just talking Chilling having fun, you know, and I I forgot to record it tired Soar well, I mean obviously you gave me a couple of Times to like relax got me lunch and breakfast. Hey, so I was like I got that energy Get in there See here and watch him go to work But yeah, like yeah the biggest project and the longest and back-to-back, especially if you're doing your back back Thank you guys for coming back and watching this new video I really appreciate it and if you're an artist, do you think this was a challenging cover-up? Personally, it was definitely challenging definitely was especially spending three days Tattooing the same person it can be uncomfortable for the client It could be uncomfortable for me as well getting tired my back started hurting, you know Mentally you get tired as well But it makes a big difference when you're spending a lot of hours and especially three days in this in this situation With a client that has such a great energy and great personality But it was definitely a long weekend long three days It was about 25 hours of tattooing and his back hurting my back hurting and yeah But if you're a tattoo artist, I hope you learn something from this video and if you're a tattoo enthusiast I hope you were entertained. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you guys next week. Peace
