 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week? I'm actually gonna be tattooing my co-artist Andrew and the piece that we're gonna be doing on him is his Frenchy I am excited. It has a whole bunch of texture It's gonna have flow and it's gonna be a very meaningful tattoo and I am honored to do this piece for him So with that being said let's get these days started. Let's go. That's like beautiful skin. That's like super beautiful It's like paper bro if paper was a human it'd be Andy Now you get to ask me questions like how I started tattooing What made me want to start tattooing? You're the client bro. You're supposed to ask me You're good You're a client. You don't know nothing today. You're not an artist today You can't help it. You can't help it Didn't hurt. I'm sorry that I hurt you with the stencil. I'm sorry Mr. Klein I'm gonna have you stand up. Yeah So the approach that I'm gonna be taking is for this piece making sure that I use a lot of tones. I Clearly have here a beautiful canvas super white skin and With that I'm able to use Light grays medium grays dark tones highlights Like everything you can you can literally use everything. So when you come across skin complexion like this use everything Because every detail that you apply to this tattoo is gonna show you no matter what you know So you got to make sure that you put in those little textures those little details those little white highlights Take advantage of your your contrast and your your light source So all of those things are gonna make this tattoo beautiful. I'm excited I don't get this kind of skin complexion on a daily basis, you know, I mean We're done with the bottom portion of this piece. We're gonna start on the body The way I'm looking at right now, I feel like I'm gonna be using a 3-1 liner and if I feel like that's too thin I'm gonna switch to a 7 round liner. Yeah, there's a lot to play with here So I definitely want to see what I feel more comfortable with either with a 3-1 liner or a 7 Okay, okay. Oh, yeah 7 7 it is Yep, the 7 round liner so first I'm gonna lay down my solid black with texture here and Then I'm gonna go back on my say with my second layer and out of my medium grace To execute this part of the piece I'm gonna start using my 7-round liner with a voltage of a 5.0 and the technique that I'm gonna be using is my scribble Technique if you guys are new to this channel the scribble technique is basically me doing little X's circle Squiggly lines all over the place You're not following a pattern all you're doing is doing a little bit of everything to create that texture that you need to give it That depth on this piece on those gaps that I'm leaving in between the black I'm gonna apply later on my medium gray and my light grays to give it that Dimension and that realism that I'm looking for Let's start applying my medium gray and my light gray and in between those gaps I'm gonna start adding those little texture that I was talking about earlier The technique that I'm gonna be using here is a combination of doing texture and also feathering the skin Since I'm using such a low voltage I like to stick on my needle as much as I can that way whenever I'm brushing the skin I can feel the skin vibrate and that's letting me know that I'm packing in the ink the way I'm supposed to The cartridges that I'm gonna be using for the chest area is my 11 curve mag the reason why I'm using this cartridge is because it is gonna help me to do those little hairs on the chest area where It looks natural and not too much or too dark or it's too harsh on the skin Thank you so much for coming back and watching this brand new video I hope you guys liked it and let me know what was your favorite part of this tattoo So with that being said if you're a tattoo artist, I hope you learn something from this video And if you're a tattoo enthusiast, I hope you're very entertained.
