 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel the project that I'm gonna be doing this week It's an outer sleeve with a whole bunch of color. So with that being said, let's get these days started It's time yes, it's time, right Let's see what we I didn't even take a look at what you had to What does it mean oh So it's talking about space. It's like, you know, kind of like a Leo symbol Uh-huh roots beneath like sky above like heavens, you know, I'm going earth right now And then this is like a I don't know It's like an old symbol that I made back when I was like a pagan Mm-hmm. I'm Christian now so I like reinterpreted Meaning so this you got down when you were 18. Yeah, it was my first tattoos and I was very specific I didn't want like a tattoo. It was more like a brand. Okay Okay, so in the first sense so that I placed I Just placed it How I stenciled it so it was a perfect circle everything was a perfect circle The thing is that as soon as I placed it because of the shape of the arm It made the circle look very oval. So what I did is I re stenciled it All I did was took the image and I just pushed it I basically squished it together that way he created an oval a horizontal oval So whenever I placed it here, it became a perfect circle. So now as you can see now it looks perfect Exactly what I wanted to see so definitely a consider What like the shape of the body the shape of the arm whatever placement you're looking to tattoo Really consider every possibility and make sure that everything looks right and yeah If you need to squish it or maybe make it longer larger Those little things matter because that's gonna make a huge difference when you tattoo I did the same thing for this one as well Just with the planet here on the bottom this one they stay the same But this one was creating an oval shape as well. So I had to squish it Just a little bit. I'm gonna have you check it out on the mirror. Make sure you like the placement It looks awesome. Yeah, yeah, what a stencil too. What a stencil. It looks so dope So this is gonna be a two-day project the first thing that I'm gonna do on this project is I'm gonna start with a galaxy here On the top then start working on the planet and the top after I'm done with that area I'm gonna start working my way down slowly and see how far we can get today I definitely don't want to start where I think I should start like here on the on the middle of the arm just because It's gonna prevent me from Doing more if I can this did today. So I want to start here on the middle Then go to the top that start working my way down. Do you want to take a look at your tattoo before it's gone? No I'm good. You stare at it for how long? I don't really look at it. I look at this arm Yeah People like asking about because it's a distinctive line work. I'm like, I don't want to talk about it embarrassing Why are you asking me about their shitty tattoo? Don't bring it up. I know negativity Okay, so all I did right now was do the background and I ended up transitioning the black into my gray Just to give it a little bit of a softer look because I didn't want to saw the black across that whole arm Definitely wanted to give it more variety So one thing I do want to touch base on on how to go more in detail with is the meteor The way I'm going to do the meteor is I Ended up doing light gray here. That way I can put my solid black going into my lighter part of that meteor I'm using my seven round liner With a voltage of a 5.0 and I'm gonna start with the edge here And I want to make sure I I make it look as sharp as I can make it look Because I need that to I need this area to Have enough contrast to give it that dimension That the light source is coming from this side hitting the meteor on the top And I'm using the scribble technique to create those textures inside of the meteor give it a grainy look Perfect. I do want to adjust a little bit of this area of the meteor so I'm gonna go a little bit lower So I feel like it has this arc that it makes it look very straight So I definitely want more flow to it All I'm using here is my solid black Depending on how I see when I'm done with this layer of solid black depending on how I see the meteor I might add either either My lightest gray Or maybe leave it as is As I get closer to the solid black area I am actually going to sharpen up the corners here of it And the reason why it is because I want to leave a tiny little negative space To make it pop And that's going to give you more of uh, it's going to allow you to see more And I make it so plain and so you know light to dark. We're going to have variety of shades Here we go. Here is me creating a little bit of a negative space right here And all I'm doing is the scribble technique here very subtle not too harsh I want to build it. Here you go. Perfect I really like this area here. So I'm going to leave it how it is Because I want to do more Texture on the top here So as in right now, I'm going to lightly add Texture across the whole thing that way it is going to give me the shape of The meteor And after I'm done with this layer, I'm going to be able to figure out where I want more contrast And where it's going to help me to make this stand out even more perfect Same thing here. I'm going to leave a tiny little negative space just enough And I'm going to build it When it comes down to meteors, I would rather have Um, create my own meteor than following a reference because I don't feel like references Really give me what I'm looking for So by me looking at whole bunch of meteors, I try to memorize as many as I can That way I can take pieces of each image that I memorized and build my own And now that I'm done with the whole thing I'm noticing that it just it looks great exactly how it is that there's no need for me to add Light grays to it Because it's already super bright So by adding light grays it's going to dim down the whole meteor What are you working on today? How was it last night? Did it hurt? It was pretty good. It was pretty relaxed Yeah, I like woke up a little bit sleeping with but uh-huh The person I'm going to be taking today is basically starting from the bottom up I already did the top yesterday. We went at it for about nine hours or so And the reason why I want to start here on the bottom is so I can let the top rest at least for the rest of the day So by the time I reach the top it's going to be a little bit less sore and a little bit less swollen Because right now it's swollen It is very swollen so definitely throughout the day I want to navigate make sure that I'm not irritating the top So I want to balance out everything by starting on the bottom working my way up and yeah Okay, so I'm going to begin doing the nose and the first thing I'm going to do is with my 14 round liner I'm gonna start blocking in This area here And I'm using a 14 round liner today. I'm using the brand from higher level And you guys can find it on their website Definitely liking that performance here is very Consistent with the vibration And I like how firm the needle is pretty awesome. Perfect. Next thing I'm going to do. I'm going to graph my 11 curve mac running my machine at 5.0 like I always do with every single tattoo Short strokes just so I can make sure that I have Time and layers to uh build it up So I want to be gentle first Then after I I see the shape of the nose Then I'll be able to figure out where I want my dark tones and my light tones at So I'm basically just mapping it out. That's all I'm doing right now Next I do want to focus on the On the nose here on this area make it sharp as sharp as I can I want to make sure that it's sharp that way. I don't have to Because there is a really light tone here. So I want to make sure that this stands out Okay, now that I see the shape I'm going to start slowly transitioning to my lightest gray Just go from your medium gray to your light gray as far as this area here is a little too bright for me So I I dip the back on my medium gray And I'm just going to brush it because I don't want it to be too bright It's slowly transitioning to my light gray So by the time I reach the highlight area It's the perfect tone There you go I am going to make this highlight a little bit thinner. I feel like it's way too thick So I definitely want to make it a little bit smaller And brush the skin the reason why I don't add too much to my stencils. It is because Uh, it makes me feel frustrated knowing that I have to follow every single little line rather than me looking at the whole thing and Customizing little things here and there sometimes the reference doesn't really translate the same on skin. So I definitely like to make those changes as I'm tattooing because I'm looking at it on skin. So I I don't want to feel limited on things that I can do To make sure that it stands out Better on skin. So I adjust lighting. I adjust highlights contrast. I add You know little things here and there And there you go. I'm gonna go ahead and continue doing the same thing same process Across the whole nose Thank you so much for coming back and watching this brand new video. I really appreciate you This project took about 20 hours and it was a lot of hours. I mean at that point her arm was swollen You know, but she was sitting like a rock. She uh, she definitely got a little bit of shivers towards the end And all she did was get a little sugar in her body and she was good to go and finish off this massive project But uh, I'm really happy with this very creative very original and I I'm really happy with the outcome So with that being said if you're a tattoo artist, I hope you learned something from this video And if you're a tattoo enthusiast, I hope you were entertained. Thank you so much for watching I'll see you guys next week. Peace
