 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week my client is flying in from Indiana to get his neck covered up This cover up is definitely gonna be a little bit challenging But it's all about how you treat the skin and how you navigate throughout this piece. So with that being said, let's get this day started Let's go Oh We're ready let's do it. It's time You ready Right here have a seat right here my guy. Damn. How tall are you, bro? 511 you I feel like you're like six two or something My shoulders getting tired. Let's see. What are we got? Why are we got here? So ten years old? I Can feel a few lines here The actual crosses is scarred. I can feel the lines here Yeah, I mean understandable, I mean it looks like they were using the coil the one machine that goes Yeah, no wonder it was hurting you All right, so the project that we're gonna be doing today is this cross here we're gonna be covering it up The design is gonna start from here and it's gonna end all the way up here to make sure we cover up Everything that he has going on on the back of his neck and a little bit here on the top of the the back area How do you call this part of the back? You know Hey Kenny, what do you call this part of the back? This this little bone right here? Not the I don't know the spine spinal Does anybody know The name for the top of the bone on top of the back, I mean the oh no Hello Hello quick question Does anybody know what's the name of the bone on top of The back here this area on the top here. Does anybody know the name of it? Oh Man, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter The point is that we're doing this cover up here on the back The concept that we're gonna be using is An owl in wolf. That's how you pronounce right an owl in wolf Howling how howling oh wow How do you spell it? Oh Oh What I'm sure wait hold on I've been spilling that all W. L. Oh Owling that's that's where I was is that for That's where I was We here is the concept that we're gonna be using today the rocks I want them to land here so I can fade it out As far as the wolf I wanted to land I want the This area To land here. I asked you guys twice my guys I was like hey does anybody and I will scream in that shit. I was like it does anybody know And I was like alright alright and then Kenny comes through and then he's like ask him again I'm like alright does anybody know Nothing, this is a really good stencil to be honest, right? Satisfying Let's see Perfect. I really like where he landed. What I'm gonna do is add a few more Mountains to it that way it continues the pattern of this mountain here to over here And I'm gonna use the cross here to actually add The other mountain here that way we take advantage of this shapes That are already there and make sure that we cover it up super easy I'm gonna use this line here to create another Dimension of this mountain here There you go. That's gonna help a lot too Adding a moon on this corner here because it's giving me a chance. There's a lot of skin break here So it's gonna allow me to add little textures and make it look like the moon And it's all about contrast so behind that I'm gonna make sure that I add heavy black to make sure that that moon stands out But make sure to not too much of it So it's all about balancing everything out and then as far as the background here I'm gonna make it into a night scene. It's gonna be a lot of stars. There's gonna be you know a Lot of grays to make sure that there is not just one single tone across the whole entire thing We got to separate it make it and give it give the eye more to look at first thing that I'm gonna be doing With this time I'm gonna start here at the bottom on this rock Giving a texture and then making sure that I end that super nicely a nice fade out to where it looks like It belongs there because what you don't want is a piece that's gonna look square on the back You want to make sure that it fades out evenly area here on this? this area of the wolf is that we have to keep in mind when Doing these textures we have to let the tattoo breathe as much as we can We have to let it breathe because if I don't let it breathe is gonna look like One single tone across the whole entire back piece And so we got to keep in mind on how to approach it number one thing that I'm gonna be doing here is with the fur I'm gonna do little tiny little hairs with a three-round liner with a voltage of a 5.0 and Separate them as much as I can but still following the dimension of the wolf So that's very important So don't pack in tiny little hairs next to each other Separate it and later on right in between those that fur you're gonna add your light tones When adding your light tones, you're gonna go right in between the little hairs that you already applied with your solid black and then contrast it with your light gray and That way you're gonna let it breathe and it's gonna stand out and it's gonna look bright So now that we're here What I'm gonna do next is work on the background as far as working on the background The reason why I'm gonna start with the background is because I want to make sure that this part of the wolf here stands out And it's super bright because that's what's gonna help the eye register where the wolf is and make sure that we can see it from afar The tones that I'm gonna be using is solid black all around here that way is the It makes it stand out even better and I'm gonna slowly start fading it out this way and I'm gonna have some clouds here Some stars I'm most likely gonna leave the face at the end and the reason why is because I want to make sure that the face is the Brightest out of the whole body and the whole entire tattoo. So once I reach the point of the head here I'm gonna have so much contrast all over the neck area and that's gonna let me know how dark I should make the face I hope this music is relaxing you some Tony Bennett Making you feel that easy Helping or making it worse right up. This is what didn't tell you about getting your neck tatted. I gotta get all up on your space What was the most painful part so far I think that part this right here. They don't never mind I'll ask you again later Yeah, this area here is sensitive very feels very thin, you know the skin. I feel so short right now I feel so short my guy like I'm on my tippy toes, bro. Like what? Why my tippy toes, what is it? But I wish I had a camera like on the floor so you can show how I'm just you know So as I'm tattooing the neck area here I Realized that the skin here on the top is a bit more sensitive and I definitely believe that if I was running my machine at a higher voltage with my hand speed I would have I would probably make the skin irritated and Probably not allow me to move as fast and have the skin kind of swell up on me But because I am running it at a low voltage I'm using my 14 mile liner right now and my voltage is a 5.0 same voltage as I do every single tattoo It's helping me navigate through it nicely. I guess the only thing that I got to say I have to find ways to get comfortable and make sure that I That I pack it in nicely I'm just moving everywhere I'm just until I get comfortable But I got to say that it can get a little uncomfortable, especially me putting my hand on his head You know, it's not something that you do on a daily basis you know Gotta do I gotta do but you know, I think I think it's something it's so weird You know, just I don't know where I'm and let me get comfortable. I'm gonna put my hand on your head push down
