 No, no. Bucksqueeze. Bucksqueeze. Love you. We're in church or something, god damn. So quiet in here. I'm excited that you guys are here. I'm super happy and I can't wait to start sharing everything with you guys. Because at the end of this seminar, what I want you guys to be able to do is go back home and start doing some crazy cover ups. You know what I mean? And the most important thing in when it comes down to cover ups is put it to practice. If you go back home and you're like, okay cool, I'm just gonna wait like another month to kinda execute another cover up, you know? Nah, you gotta go at it. Practice, practice, practice. Book those people as much as you can. Small cover ups, big cover ups, doesn't matter. Just put it to practice. Put those techniques to practice. Because if you wait three weeks, this information is gonna go away. Back then, it was very limited to learn from, you know? Looked at YouTube videos. Looked at seminars. Nobody was talking about cover ups, anyway. And what I ended up doing was, you know what, I'm just gonna dedicate myself to put myself in situations to learn these things. Because I don't think nobody's ever gonna teach me. And I knew I wanted to specialize in cover ups even though it was the one thing I hated the most. In every state, there is 70% like okay artists, you know? And those 30% are killing it. But then those 70% are producing tattoos that you can potentially cover up in the future. You know? Which the market just opens up like crazy. I always say that there's no way I can steal your clients. There's no way you can steal my clients. My first layer is gonna be solid black, right? This is gonna be my first layer. My second layer is gonna be my medium gray. And on top of all these textures that I just did, I'm gonna go back and do my grays. And try to start creating this glare that I have here. Reinforce that confidence in that client. You know? It's all about that service. So you gotta make sure that that client trusts you from the beginning, they talk to you. From the beginning they walk in through that door, they trust you. A lot of my clients, they don't come in with references, they just come with an idea. And they're like, okay, this is my idea. And I'm like, oh that's tight. And they're like, okay, this is my idea. And I'm like, oh that's tight. So then after that I start talking to them. What do you like about it? What do you like about this specific idea? And I say, do you have other ideas just in case this doesn't work? And they start thinking, I'm like, I don't know. And sometimes my clients, their second idea or their third is the best. So they do come with ideas, but sometimes it's kinda like, they just allow me to do whatever I want. But I do, what I like doing is connecting it to the client because today they're gonna be carrying this and I wanna make sure that they can tell that story. How confident did you feel when you went into covering up that debt? He's like, yo, if you can tell me that you can cover this up, I'll come back within two months. And I was like, what is it? And he's like, I was like, oh shit! I was like, yo, this is so little black! So after like 25 minutes of me just feeling it, I was 80% I was like, I can do this, because nobody's gonna touch this ever. I'm the only one right now. I was nervous, but I was confident. We had our breakfast and I started throwing ideas. He said, I want I was like, I want something graffiti related. We went through so many concepts. Finally, I don't know how I came across this the gas mask. And then he said, I like that. And when I placed it I was like, man, I don't know, this looks this doesn't look very promising. We had a three hour consultation at the restaurant. We kept going back and forth and finally I was like, you know what? I like the gas mask. As soon as I laid my black on that, on top of one of the letters, I said, ah, yeah, that's it. I feel so much better. I can do this. But I was confident, but I was hella nervous. The day before, I was like, oh my god, if I can't cover it up, this guy's gonna have a black stomach. But it was scary, bro. But he actually came on the last seminar and he was here watching a UFC fight. And he actually showed up and he showed everybody. And it looks insane after like, it's been like a year or something, a year and a half. So Wayne Kevin isn't afraid to share his information. He's a very open person, very open minded and likes to share his information to make sure that artists become better artists. I was super excited, you know, seeing Kevin just displayed on the screen. Kind of walking us through any time we can ask questions. He's a very good teacher. He knows how to explain things thoroughly. See how like, it's like, so smooth. Like, you go from dark to light in a matter of seconds. You're kind of like, okay, damn, especially for a face. Let's just say you're using that tone like for the cheekbone. And then you need to go from gray to light gray to white, back to gray. I would even say do bigger circles. That way you can kind of see the tone a little bit better. So start with your lightest. Okay, that's good. Now, and what do you want to get? Medium. Do two dips on that black, on your solid black. Which one do you like better? For the medium. Okay, so now do the 15 counts and one drop. And there's that tone you got. And then now after that. Okay, now let's see what that gives you. Is that the tone you wanted? So now to stay consistent, you stay with right here, this one, two dips. And you stay consistent. Do as many as you can and you'll see that it doesn't change. Because that's going to stay consistent because you're doing the same count. So out of those three tones, which one do you like better? That one? All right. Perfect. And he stays. And he doesn't make it any lighter. It's just reloading. So it's all about playing with it. Now that you see the system between these two, now you can play around with all of them and see how it's going to start mixing slowly. And you're going to be like, oh, okay. Now in between those, can you give me a super light gray? Yeah, I would say test it out first. See what happens? Okay, give me lighter than that. And I would even say you can dip it around too. Because that gray is on the surface. So it's picking up that. See that? Yeah. Oh, you got it down now. There you go. Now you got it down. Now you got it down. Yes. Just in case something doesn't work out, practice it. Because it's going to help you a lot tomorrow to make those decisions in case of something was to go wrong. What is your favorite part about the seminar experience? Watching them do it. Watching them do it. What's the guy Mr. Ray's doing? Because I, to be honest I would see it on a video see it on pictures and stuff like that and just to be able to see it in person it's the truth. It's really it really is the truth. I was I was blown away. Definitely excited to see him actually do a cover-up, a whole process. I've been watching his videos on YouTube a lot. So I just wanted to see it in person and ask a bunch of questions about his technique. I loved everything especially now I'm seeing everything in person. I like the scribble technique or textures. And the way that he mixes his ink is insane. My favorite part was very hands-on I've been to like two seminars and you know this is the person we actually get to tattoo the same design on fake skin and seeing the client get it done. Outside the box compared to like you know put white or whatever like you know after students are saying so it just makes sense for him to be like you know change the light source or whatever the case is. Well definitely the true gray method that he used and also his dipping method that was very unique and I can tell that he tried it for a long period of time and there was a lot of trial and error you know so it was nice that he went through all that now you just go hey here it is five minutes. The gray methods and then as well as his like scribble techniques his scribble technique is crazy for when you hear a scribble you're just like all over the place nice like he has a certain technique that he does that if you implement it inside your tattooing as I'm doing right now on that fake skin man it's just crazy. Definitely the scribble technique I gotta practice that and get it down. The minute I walked into the studio you could just sense Kevin's energies he came in he was happy he was smiling dancing the whole entire time. I feel like every artist in this shop has the same you know vibe you know the music's pumping you know he's getting it on you know what I'm saying. Just how helpful where he has been I mean he's just got the best attitude because I'm naturally a shy person and he just makes you feel comfortable you know to be able to ask him questions. I absolutely recommend this seminar for every single artist. Just a 5 star rating. His vibe is very genuine on that take just a straight down to earth person. I'm just I feel blessed to be able to be here and I'm definitely taking a lot of knowledge from him that I can use everyday. Vibes off the chain he's crazy, he's wild just how he is on videos same way he is in person for teaching man he does not move to another subject unless you know what he's teaching you until you fully understand it and that's really good because for myself coming in here I was like in 2 days how are we supposed to learn this in 2 days man but he does not let go he'll sit there you need to do this or do you need help with this and he'll be on your ass and plus Vibes is cool.
