 I have tattoos. I've got one, I've got two, I've got three. And I plan on getting a lot more. I've been watching a show lately called Ink Masters. It was a fun show to watch. It's just where people compete to see who can do the best tattoos. And it got me curious, how hard is it to actually tattoo somebody? Cause I've never tried it, I've been tattooed, but I've never actually done it myself. And right now LA where I live is currently in a lockdown because of COVID. So I can't go out and get more tattoos. So I thought that I'd just do it myself. So I went on Amazon and I bought a tattoo gun. So today I'm gonna be giving myself a tattoo. I'm joking, I'm not. I bought a fake face. This again was all just bought on Amazon. So take its professionalism with a grain of salt. I'm not actually tattooing myself unless you know what you're doing. You should probably not tattoo yourself either. That being said, I did buy a tattoo gun. It was way less expensive than I thought it would be. Also, hey, what's God doing? All in all, I think this ran me about like $135. Obviously, this is probably a shitty tattoo gun. I should also probably be extremely careful because I actually have no idea what I'm doing. Is this a super fucking stupid idea? I'm gonna be careful with it. But did this even come with the instructions? It came with a lot of styrofoam. Okay, we've got this little pack here. Dragonhawk tattoo supply. Traditional coils, tattoo machine manual. Power supply tattoo machine, foot pedal, clip cord, grip. Take out the grips and disposable tips. Screw the tips. Where's the tips? Whose tips? Are these the tips? You shouldn't do this. I'm just doing it because I'm an idiot and I need content. This isn't your job. It's my job. Oh, I need an Allen key, don't I? I love a good Allen key. Oh, Allen, you're so hot. These bags aren't numbered. See, on here it's numbered but the bags themselves aren't numbered. So I just have to go with what my eyeballs are seeing and they're not seeing a whole lot. Now we take a tattoo needle. So this is where I need to be a little bit more careful. So this part doesn't matter. I'm sure I'm doing this extremely wrong because these need to stay sterile. But here's the thing, guys, is I'm not an actual tattoo artist and I'm not actually tattooing a person. So I don't think it really matters. Okay, we have this guy. God, I'm gonna get ripped up by the tattoo community, dude. I mean, I'm not actually tattooing a person. So is it really that bad? It is bad. Because I'm using my influence to say, hey, all the people, go do this at home. Don't do this. Should I make this video? Probably not, but I've gotten this far, so. Yeah, that's the good reason to continue, Ethan. Okay, I've got this from this. Again, I know this isn't sterile but it doesn't need to be sterile. Why? Because I'm not actually tattooing a person. Also, I would like to make it known that I am strictly, I did strictly buy this for this video. I'm not gonna go around tattooing many of my friends. Tattoos, if not performed correctly, can get infected. A bad tattoo could kill you. This is on the taint, this is on the, just on the mesh, and I just don't know where you can end on the key. And a key to tassapina. And then we take a little one of these. There's gonna be a lot of me setting this shit up and probably very minimal me tattooing. But that's okay, because what wonderful content is this? It's so good. You've never seen content quite like this. I've never seen this before. Oh, now it's time for the power supply. Why am I talking like a fucking, like horny, something? Okay, put this in this. Look at this, this goes by my feet. So then it goes rum, rum, tattoo time. I shouldn't be doing this. This seems correct. So I turn this up to six. Oh, it works. I'm tattooing. It works. Gamer's? It's doing, it's doing the thing. I'm just scratching up this dude's head. What should we call you? Honour. Why is this readily available on Amazon? Jeff, what the fuck are you doing, enabling dumbasses like me? They even gave me fake skin to practice on. Let's see what kind of sweet tattoo artistry we can come up with today, huh? How hard could it possibly be? Probably, um, extremely is the answer. I legitimately don't know how people are tattoo artists. I don't understand how they do the things that they do. We're gonna start off with just a basic tat, okay? One of the most popular tattoos that I've seen and I know that people love are nice religious tattoo. Now, I am not religious myself, but that doesn't stop others from getting their faith tattooed on their body. So what am I going to do? I'm going to tattoo a lovely cross right on Connor's head, okay? Oh, wow. I don't think I'm using the right things. Listen, I know it's gonna, you know, the movie magic isn't gonna be here anymore because you can see the camera in frame. I get it, but I think it's important. It's important that you're able to see the artistry. Here's the issue. Is that I think I fucking goofed it, dude. Ah, goofed. Because these I think are used to, oh, this is not good. Taking this out because that's for shading. I don't want one for shading. I want a single needle because that was multiple needles, right? This is just one and that's what I want because I want nice clean lines. Tattoos? The basis of every good tattoo is good line work and that's what we're striving for. All right, Connor, I'm gonna give you, now listen, you do have a little bit of smudgy stuff, but don't worry about it. Everything's gonna be fine, everything is fine. I'm gonna give you a classic little thing here. Uh-huh, uh-huh. This looks great so far. Well, am I, did I set it up right? Oh, I see. I did something dumb, guys. Can you believe that? I was using a shading thing. I need to be using this, which is for a single needle. Okay, I think I've got this where I want it now. So now it's just a single needle. Yeah. This is really good so far. Now look at that. Why is it spreading around so much? I don't want it to spread around that much. Hold on, what if I try? I'm gonna try one of these guys. It doesn't seem like it's working well. So let's try the one that's included in the pack. Okay, let's just write, we're gonna write my name real quick. Oh yeah, I'd let me tattoo anyone. Can you tell? I'm a master. A master of the two. You know, people in the tattoo world. Once you get to a certain level, we're like where I'm at. They call it the two. I wouldn't expect you all to understand. It is a much higher level thing. So, all right, I'm gonna try something else on the skin. I don't even know if I'm like doing this correctly at all, in any way, in any way at all. Okay, we are gonna try across. Okay, everybody at home, I want you to keep in mind that this raw talent that you're seeing right here is freehand. So, I don't, you know, don't, you know, wow. Now that's a cross. Now that is Jesus Christ incarnate. How do I wipe it off in a way that it's not gonna get smudged everywhere? Not like that. God damn it. You can kind of see in there the gorgas line work. Oh my God, just look at it. This is so difficult. Literally, I mean, I know it's years and years and years and years and years of practice, but literally how do you fucking tattoo it? I mean, I might not have my tattoo machine set up correctly so that might be a large part of it, but how does anybody get a straight line? That bottom thing? That was me trying to just make a straight line real quick. What the fuck? Okay, I'm gonna go back to his face real quick. Let's see, I'm gonna trace along his lips. This is really, really good. Can you guys see this? That's a day's hard work done, baby. Let's do a little design, okay? I'm gonna make a little man on your face, okay? I'm gonna put his ears in. Put a little hair in. Now for the eyes. The eyes are crucial. The eyes are what bring life or death into the character and into the art, okay? If you don't have the eyes down, you will not have a good tattoo. Pupils, maybe some little freckles, a little bit of detail here in the lobes, in the earlobes. Damn, and after four and a half hours of tattooing. It's art. Okay, obviously I'm joking. One, I don't think I have the tattoo machine set up correctly. I'm not sure how to actually do it. That's not my excuse for why it's bad. My excuse is I'm not an artist for one. And for two, I think as far as art goes, doing art on somebody's body with a tattoo gun has got to be one of, if not the most difficult forms of art out there. It is so shaky. It's impossible to get a straight line. Again, I don't think that I have this set up correctly, but it is just unbelievably difficult. I already had respect for tattoo artists before. Tons of respect. And I knew that it was an extremely hard art form, but holy shit. Like how do you even practice something like this? Like how do you get into this? Do you start on just tattooing stuff like this? Or do you start with just like tattooing your friends? If any of you guys are studying to become tattoo artists or tattoo artists yourselves, let me know how this works. Because this is so hard. This is so insanely hard. I don't understand how anybody does this at all. Let's give them one last big tattoo here. Now, Connor, I don't want you to be afraid. I don't want you to freak out or anything. Again, this is going to be painful because it's on your head. And it's going to be on your head forever. But I want you to trust me, okay? Can you do that for me, bud? Can you do that? Here we go. Here's a time lapse. Wow. Wow. Now if that's not our truthfully, I don't know what is. I do want to say, you know, the AYS got a little lost. It got a little lost in the end there, but that too. The line work, it's pristine. Connor, thank you so much for being my first client. I appreciate you so much. I'm gonna clean up shop here, you know. Wow. Don't do this. This was really cool to experience though. It's extremely hard. I don't know how people actually do this. I do love tattoos. I plan on getting a ton more tattoo to spot. If you're a tattoo artist, I have so much respect for you. How the hell do you do this? I hope you guys had fun watching this video and experiencing this with me. Again, please don't do this. Don't go off and tattoo your friends. That's fucking dumb. Go to a tattoo shop if you want to get a tattoo. Thank you guys so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed your so close to million. It's crazy. Thank you guys so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed it. If you did, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub. Uh, uh, uh, uh...
