 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week I'm gonna be tattooing one of Michelangelo statues David and the placement is gonna be on the inner bicep So with that being said, let's get this day started I need a good song hold on shuffle that You got it, you got a lot of hypen this a lot of energy there. All right This armpit got a goal bro. I'm Stitches you have stitches on your armpit. Yeah, I got some kid dare me to jump off my garage to the floor You what your garage like the garage rope. We were on the roof Uh-huh, and he told me you'll give me a Pokemon card Pokemon car. This is back then. Okay, uh-huh. I didn't see there was a shelf and there's like this Thing protruding like sticking out and I landed on it like Straight up landed on it. I think you see it. Oh That's a big ass scar. I know what happened to the kid that dare you to do that I don't know, but you never give me my card You gotta search him up on Facebook or Instagram be like, yo, where's my fucking Pokemon car, bro? Kind of want to leave I kind of want to leave this little area of hair. Yeah, just cuz it looks funny Do you think I've never really shade my arm. No, you know, it might be the the new fit going forward Hey, yeah, what's the purpose of our the purpose of armpits To hold your torso and your arm together All right, I'm gonna have to shave the whole thing. It's not gonna look right You see the thing is that if I was to leave it and then I was to post a video All the focus is gonna go towards wait, why didn't he shave the whole armpit? Was he that lazy that he didn't want to shave it? You know and I'm over here like I just thought look funny, bro Leave a little bit of hair there. The way I'm looking at the whole entire thing here is At first my initial thought was like, you know, I just placed it just like that, you know Lined up with the whole arm But I feel like it was it's not gonna look right because it's such a tight area that I need to Tilt it a little bit and give it more more style to the whole thing So right now I'm just kind of seeing the way it looks in different directions I definitely don't want the sensor to look like this at all because as soon as he Lift his arm up. It's gonna seem like this is facing in an awkward place It's gonna be facing in a direction that I don't want it to face I put on enough stencil that way whenever the I put on the stencil it doesn't smear everywhere So right now I can barely feel the stencil. That's perfect. So I like to that way doesn't smear everywhere. Okay, here we go So first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start with the chin area with the chin area. It is on My reference it is very light and that I'm making the contrast darker So I'm able to grab the highlights and the darker areas and bring them to a different light source So for me, the most important thing is looking at the light source without the light source We don't have we not gonna let the tattoo breathe as I'm getting closer to the chin area I'm gonna start grabbing my my medium gray and Make sure that that the chin breathes because you don't want to make it look like solid black So definitely pay attention to where your highlights are at and yeah, so that's gonna be my first step Even when you feel low you can still go even when you feel slow you can still go even when there's no hope You can still go. I never answer to know man. I still go Now that I got the chin and I did it to the background that's things that I really needed I Decided to start doing the background as well because that was gonna let me know how dark to make certain parts of this Tattoo so now I did the chin now. I got the background so next my my main focus right now It's gonna be making sure that the chin area here and The highlight on the lip Stand out as much as I can make them stand out That way whenever you see it from afar your eye goes straight to those points And that's gonna let you know it's gonna help you register Where the mouth is where the nose is and it's gonna help, you know to make the tattoo look even better Highlights and contrast doing texture. I'm using my 14 round liner The brand is ambition. I'm a put a link on the description If you just want to get one of these videos I really like them a lot here what I'm doing is doing little textures my voltage is about 5.0 And as I get closer to the line that I made here on my stencil as I get closer to that I am gonna start separating The dots and the texture the scribbles the lines that way It gives me space to start applying my lightest gray Because if I keep doing this it's not gonna be consistent if I just keep applying the gray across the whole thing and Finish here It's not gonna give me the highlight that I want to see and that is why I'm kind of separating it Separating it before I even get to that line that way I start blending it out slowly And it has like a smooth Ending to this medium tone and that's so hard very important And then after that, I'm just gonna jump in a little bit in here Step back I noticed where I need to go darker. It looks like I need to go darker on this area The dust starts on here Yeah There you go A nice stretch that way it's easier to pack in this little texture Oh Spread it into the highlight area that way it gives you that feeling of stone I pretty much got the whole thing done and The last thing I'm gonna you do is the white highlights There's not a lot of areas that I need to add white highlights So that's a good sign because that means that you're not gonna be irritating the skin too much As far as the statue I'm using his skin tone to really make those white highlights That way I don't have to use it too much and the needle that I'm gonna be using is a seven round liner And I'm only gonna dab it on a couple areas For example the lip the lip needs it I'm just gonna go in here to the brightest white highlight that I can do I'm running my machine at the same voltage as I always run it 5.0 and It really helps a lot with white highlights because it allows you to pack it in and it is not a messy Situation where if your voltage is really high and if you apply those white highlights Your client is probably gonna look like he's bleeding out At least with the 5.0 voltage is it's pretty you know, you can see a little bit of blood up. I'm not too much So the other area that I'm gonna add white highlights is right here this little corner right here Not too much just enough Boom just enough to give it that glare Next is right next to this shadow right here a sharp one Boom and then do texture Then in here Boom Just enough then I want this to look bright as hell. So I'm going there Texture once again Nice next just a messy line going down here Texture texture texture Going here just enough and the last area is the eyelid right here. I need that to look super bright There you go. Just enough. You don't need a lot of white highlights I don't like using a lot of white highlights. The reason why is because depending on this on the client's skin complexion Depending on the way they take care of the skin a lot of people are different So what happens is that during summer if they go to the beach and they get super sunburned The white is gonna turn a little bit brownish because you're tanning and the white the white highlights are so bright that It tends with your skin, you know, so You're like boy So we have the roses here there about four years healed I did them four years ago the top of the sleeve. I did it three years Then we have the skull This one is two years
