 House everybody don't welcome back to my channel this week. We have a massive cover-up I mean my client feels ashamed to even show what he has on his arm So we're gonna try and change that so let's get this day started. Let me see what you have so Like I was saying this was the first original. I Wanted you to cover up and I was saying is the first message I sent you was like Can you cover this up in this one just to see if you can actually do it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, this was this was already a cover-up over a cover-up. I can see it started. Yeah, he literally it's it I Haven't worn a tank top since this bro. Wow. That's why I want this one done first Let me see turn around and let me see show the camera real quick. So it's a ship with some sort of skull on the bottom I swear to God. I have not worn a tank top Since because it just doesn't look good. Yeah. Yeah, and then this I just have to deal with it Because everyone has to see it and I'm not gonna we're wearing a long sleeve the whole time So I went from our first session where you can see the little burn marks right there little circle Oh, I got you got you got one one session of laser It was it was horrible, bro I could not I saw I was like man if you can and you said only emails only emails I was like, I don't want to go back. Yeah, there's no way I'm paying and they'll think crazy thing It's $400 per session for a session, huh? They told me those six hundred six sessions Just answer me this one question. So I don't have to book another appointment Can you cover these up? And you said absolutely? Oh, man, I canceled everything, bro Honestly, I should have never went cheap. I was young. This one was one of my first ones. I turned 19 one of my first ones I was like all nice and everything. Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. It's cheap to compare to the other guys I was like, let's do it. And that's why I messed up and that's why I messed up Now it's all about now, you know what you want to get and now you want some nice work, you know, which and luckily I can do it Let me let me take a picture of your arm So I downloaded this image that Feel that will be really good to cover this up. So this is one idea. I like the profile view Because of the little details on I mean the highlights on it if you can do that right there That will be in both of them in the same. Yeah Okay, I can't even I got told you before bro. You're like You're actually gonna like change Like I know it sounds like you're not really didn't change your life friends, but you really are yeah, I know like I can actually Wear a tank top the only word only place someone sees me with the tank top is at home Honestly outside I can't and honestly, I'm excited, bro. I really am my pleasure, man And it's gonna be insane once we get that started we got more projects coming up and he's gonna be insane man So what we're gonna be doing today, it's a massive cover-up here. We have a tattoo that was He got some footprints in the past. He got his kids footprints on the arm and Then he didn't really like that design anymore He didn't like his tattoo anymore. So what he did he just ended up going with an artist and getting it covered up And he didn't he just ended up becoming a bigger problem so now he has a ship with with the skull and It's it's definitely a little challenging because it is you know, it's really dark He has so much going on and so many lines and There's no signs that there's any scars as in right now But once I started doing it, you never know some some of those lines might flare up and then Become a little swollen, but as in right now the way I'm looking at it It looks pretty it looks pretty okay when it comes down to scars. It's still pretty dark, but The concept that we ended up putting together is a Star Wars So there's definitely a lot going on but the concept that we picked out is This one right here So I think what I'm gonna focus on today explaining is how to make such a dark tattoo like this one stand out on skin So, you know because I feel like once you have so much black like this It's really easy to just keep tattooing and tattooing at the end of the session. You're kind of like oh, you know Well, it's too dark. So for today's episode. I'm gonna focus on how can I separate? dark tones So close to each other. So you you have solid black here. You got solid black here, but how can you? Separate them as a picture. It looks really good, but on skin. It's a whole different story because you got to keep in mind that this tattoo It's not gonna look good unless you let it breathe For this tattoo is to do everything around the face with extremely high contrast by doing that It would allow me to know how brighter can make the face It's all about navigating which is something very useful when it comes down to doing cover ups The helmet is key because on my reference it is almost completely solid black But you can still see the shape of the helmet as a tattoo if I follow my reference it is not gonna look good at all So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna enhance that area and make it brighter I left this part of the face at the end because I needed it to stand out since it is the center of attention Not to mention that that area is where my client got the footprints and it is the darkest part of the ship So I definitely knew that I had to make this part of the face the brightest Thank you guys for coming back and watching this new video and if you're new to this channel welcome to the club Don't forget to subscribe and stay tuned for next week because we got a special guest in this channel You might see a couple of his videos You might even know who it is But if you don't make sure to come back and watch the next video next Thursday So if you have tattoo artists, I hope you learn something from this video and if you have tattoo enthusiasts I hope you were entertained.
