 how's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week my client is flying in from california to get a cover up done and what we're doing is his whole outer sleeve he came a few months back to get the left side done so now we got to the right so with that being said let's get this day started let's go so why what are your ideas um i was thinking after after looking at you know looking at this and kind of kind of make it like matching like oh how did i raise do that so i started coming up with different ideas that's tight okay but so that that was like the gladiator that i because that's why i was thinking at first i was like um maybe maybe a jesus piece uh jesus here but then she was like oh you want a gladiator in jesus you want it yeah let's go let's get to work today i'm going to be reviewing this new cartridge just by ambition thank you guys so much for sending me so many boxes i really appreciate you i love the fact that they sent me a 14-round liner that's very thoughtful because you guys know that i use a 14-round liner for every single tattoo they also sent me an 11 curve mag which i've been using a lot lately and also a 7-round liner what i look for in a cartridge it doesn't matter the quality it doesn't matter the brand the only thing that matters for me is how sensitive it is for the ink to come out of the cartridge as soon as it hits the skin i like to stick out my needle as much as i can and as soon as that needle touches the skin i like when the ink comes out so smooth i don't like it when it just shoots out or when it just retains it so um i can't wait to try this out i'm excited so let's go i'm ready bro ready let's do it i am did you eat your breakfast yeah i did okay cool i was like if you haven't ate you gotta eat right now i'm good make sure you get my good side okay last time i had a mask this time you're like you know you put my shades on can you remind me what was the story behind the the puma the puma the the panther i keep calling it a puma it looks like a puma to me right like i got this i was i was young i was like a 20 one or something 20 somewhere or somewhere around there i wanted a you know tupac had a had a black panther oh huge tupac fan okay and i didn't want to get the same one that he had but i wanted a panther just in reference because he had a panther right because tupac had the uh just the the head uh huh the the the head of the panther okay like uh roaring or whatever right uh so then i just went to the tattoo shop and then i was like i'll take that one you look like a wrestler bro you know i i know you know that i uh that i'm uh i'm not that tall but i've never felt shorter in my life standing next to you but the width bro the width oh my god today we're going to be working on the outer sleeve here i have them for the next two days and uh we're going to cover up the top uh today into the bottom tomorrow it's going to be super easy i don't have to do a cover up i don't have to worry about anything all i gotta do is come in tattoo and go home but today i gotta focus because i mean we have a lot going on here so this whole california area is scarred this is pretty faded but you can still feel the lines here on some areas the panther surprisingly it's not scarred at all uh which it might i i you know i would assume that this is the the piece that would be scarred the most but it is not uh i don't have a specific goal where i want this to land honestly wherever it lands i'm going to be able to work with it because the whole entire thing is full of texture and it's full of uh amazing detail so i don't have to worry about me applying that stencil in a specific area all i gotta do is just place it and work go from there give it a little angle just to give it more style more dimension to the whole thing here we go place me right there satisfying let's go what a stencil bro that looks amazing that looks amazing go ahead and check out the placement make sure you like what you see yep you ready or what yeah let's go let's do it be honest bro you came back as a my thing not my tattoo oh yeah no yeah yeah and and i know and the breakfast and the breakfast i'm like man i'm gonna get a tattoo just to get some breakfast you you get welfare all right here we go trying this needle's ambition first thing i'm noticing is that the ink is coming out so smooth the cartridge is not retaining any ink very sensitive to the touch yeah this is gonna be a really good day i'm really happy to see that that they're performing as i would hope they will perform so dope as soon as i touch the skin neither just i mean uh ink just comes out super smooth oh uh uh that's the one yeah that's the one let's go yeah i'm like an addict do i've got a habit i ain't even playing got a really bad habit if it moves gotta grab it fuse like a magnet lose won't have it till i'm doomed in a casket i ain't playing got a weird mind if you work eight hours i'ma work nine if the shit tastes sour you should taste mine i'ma stay in power for a long time get up now i ain't a quitter toss me the ball i'm a really big hitter big picture i'm a straight killer writing the song to the highest bitter got juice got gas i'ma move fast new shoes new tracks like who's that i'm new come back better than last year what time is there no i didn't even 7 27 7 27 okay so we've been going out here for about about eight hours because you keep wasting time bro that's why you keep wasting time and i can't can't finish it's your fault i uh i ended up doing the whole entire background the helmet and the reason why i left the part of the face at the end it's because as a cover-up i wanted to since this is a huge cover-up i wanted to be able to kind of balance out the contrast i wanted to be able to figure out how dark i can make this part of the helmet or how bright you know i didn't want to just go in and then as soon as i was done find out that i went too dark so this is me controlling my contrast and my highlights so i'm gonna start with my solid black here and with my 14 mile liner a voltage of a 5.0 and i'm gonna do the texture that i do in every video you guys already know and if you're new to this channel it's uh this is how i do texture i do uh the scribble technique this technique is crazy x's o's crosshatch anything no specific pattern there is a glare on the helmet that around one of the circles and it's a very small area but i definitely want to enhance that part of the helmet and and make that glare a little bit bigger so i'm gonna change i'm gonna put a picture here for so you guys can see the reference and see what i'm following right in between those little gaps i'm actually gonna be adding uh my gray tones so that's why i'm kind of spreading out the texture i'm leaving bigger gaps as i get closer to the middle and it looks like on my reference down here it's like gray tones this whole entire thing is gray tones so i'm gonna take advantage of that too medium gray right here start adding it perfect now that i have that now i'm going to my light is gray now switch to my light is gray and start filling in those little gaps now that i see the whole thing now i'm gonna start adding the final little details to make it come together give it that the um extra extra uh throughout this whole process here i was not following my reference i was just going based off what i feel is the best um way i can approach it so i'm just kind of you know having fun with it and that's i think that's when you have um the most fun when you're kind of going with the flow with your own uh with your own style your own idea of how it's supposed to look like that's it i'm done rough rough day huh for rough like four hours probably yeah the last question that was intense i was feeling it i was like oh my god i'm hurting him 100 percent the first the first the first part was it was cool it was no problem it's just like once you got up here the top huh where the panther was yeah that's where yeah oh you made it though man tomorrow is going to be cake cake cake walk yeah i could the last 30 minutes i was like oh my god i'm hurting me how you feeling uh a lot better now and i better not that i'm done isn't it had you sleep um good you were probably exhausted yesterday huh yeah it was it was easy to go to sleep oh yeah you knocked that me too i was tired yes sir love the placement there you go that's what i'm talking about damn i love this song i gotta get a good angle for the viewers can the viewers see stretch of this way there you go my approach for the whole piece is to use a single cartridge which is a 14 round liner uh jones man this song is contagious bro this song gets me going all right so i'm gonna be using a 14 one liner because it's gonna allow me to do so much texture so so much detail on this lion and i feel like that's uh with this cartridge this was gonna help me and allow me to add all these little tiny details to this to this lion so uh i'm probably gonna use a max who knows uh if i really need it but as in right now i don't think i need nothing else but this one cartridge all right here we go here we go it's time to explain a couple things so i'm gonna do the texture on the nose we just ate so the energy is like relax you know we're chilling i feel like what time is it like three four i think this is the time where everybody gets pretty much like sleepy there's a there's a word for that right when you get sleepy during the day let's see there's a term for that when you just like i'm so tired i need a nap right now it's three p.m i need a nap food coma food coma food coma we'll go with that all right here we go i'm gonna start with my solid black here gonna do the nose now i've been saving this part just to show how i'm gonna do it so this is the way i'm gonna do the nose and i haven't switched needles it's the same one 14-round liner running at a 5.0 same thing it never changes i have to say it in every video here we go so this is one of the wrinkles here so i'm gonna go in and instead of me doing like a like a straight line i'm gonna do like little texture little texture little texture to show that it looks fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy there's actually a medical term for that a medical term i want to see it post pro post pran dial pram pran how do you pronounce it i can't pronounce it post post pran dial post pran pran yeah some some some nolens some nolens it means sleep it means sleep in red oh my god well that's fancy i got post pran dial some adonis they're like excuse me yeah so now that i have my black i'm gonna go to my medium gray start attacking that little corner right next to that black line start attacking it with your medium tone okay just a little bit not too much i'm gonna spread it here a little bit more just because i need more gaps in order for me to create that illusion that the sun is hitting the nose from this angle here so now i'm going to go to my lightest gray and i'm still in doing the texture technique here the scribble and i'm going right in between the gray tone i don't want to lose those those darker tones so i'm just gonna i'm just filling in the the blink area in between every dot of the medium gray and then finish it off by adding just enough you don't want to leave such a bright um bright line right there even though my reference shows it but you don't want to leave that um make sure to kind of play around with it just enough make it look bright but also don't leave it completely blank just add a little bit of texture to it just a little bit there you go that's pretty much what i'm going to keep doing across the whole entire face and that's what i've been doing on the whole face um so this technique is what i'm going to keep doing and um yeah let's continue oh my bad i hella kicked and remember when you eat too much you're going to get um perspandios and manolins so be careful with that don't eat too much or you'll get that thank you guys for coming back and watching this brand new video i really appreciate you this weekend was honestly super fun full of energy good vibes i i fell in love with the project um especially having three different tattoos and a lot of open gaps that makes it really challenging and i was really happy to see that i was able to navigate through it without a problem as far as the cartridges that i use for this project uh i gotta say i'm really impressed i'm extremely impressed just because i uh i'm the type of person that the only thing i'm picky about when it comes down to my equipment is my cartridges i don't care about the machine that i use i don't mind the type of uh towels that i use uh you know oimen none of that but cartridges for me are one of the most important things when it comes down to doing cover-ups i have to make sure that it's not shooting out or retaining the ink because that's going to affect the way i navigate through the tattoo because the if the cartridge is just shooting out the ink is going to make a big blop and i might might lose the stencil when doing a cover-up i have to make every stroke count and if the cartridge is retaining the ink does causing unnecessary irritation so in conclusion i love these cartridges and i'm going to start using them on a on every single project then i ended up contacting the ambition to let them know that i love the product i was very impressed with their product then that i'll be playing back and they told me hey you know what uh we're going to give you a code uh so
