Freehanding Tattoos at the Philly Expo!
After covid people’s attention span isn’t long. They need answers quick without context and that gets lost. With tattoo artist just as your mechanic how much is payed for the work is what you’re going to get. If you go to anyone you want work done and they set their price and you reply with “I can get that done somewhere else for cheap” is a broke cope out. With tattoos it’s on your body forever yet when the price is mentioned you say you can get it cheaper?! Then you don’t value your body as much.
Who is this clown…..
Ahhhh... Finally I understand. Minimums. I read it in the title like Mini mums, and wondering what little mothers had to do with tattooing, haha
Real talk
Fantatstic video as always. Thank you so much!
Im getting full front torso blasted in a few days ... should be full
Ribs don’t hurt at all. Chest hurts like a bitch. It depends on the person. No one person feels the same pain. Go get a tat and you’ll know. That’s the best answer.
Question: I have a drawing of my likeness as a Native American in full head gear done by an artist in my hometown area. My question is, is it okay to ask another tattoo artist to recreate it, obviously with their own touch. I wish I remember the guys name, because I’d hella go back and find him and have him do it. So how would I go about that?
He said the word sh*t about 2 milion and 500k times on this vid & he is f*king boring
Seems like a socio.
Great advice!
Just got a chest piece today, just a little ornament in the centre, less than 2 hours, all blackwork. Mostly a 4 or 5 out of 10, pain-wise, but the flipping sternum was a 10 out of 10. I felt like I was being stabbed with lava knives, with electrical shocks radiating out in waves. The weirdest part was how small the painful spot was, and how the area around it wasn't nearly as painful. I'd be vibing along to the music, feeling ok, then the needle passed over my sternum and everything turned to red static. My calf was my most painful tattoo, because that was 7.5 hours of mid-to-high pain with lots of colour-packing, but the sternum was the absolute worst as far as sheer pain goes.
can someone list the tattoos? no way im watching a 24 min video to hear each tattoo
Bro spoke way tooooo long about the proxy appointments. Seems like he has the issue with verbal communication and interactions
Terrible attitude from a tattoo artist
My back hurt more than anywhere else and ive never heard anyone else say that. Wtf is wrong with me?
As a dark skinned (probably 6-7 on your scale) woman I appreciate this video even years later. Just got tattooed after 12 years since my last one and now I know what to look for my next piece. Thanks for dropping knowledge 🙏🏾
Worst explanation ever. It’s like falling while roller blading and sliding. It’s a burning sensation with sometimes a pinching pain when it hits a nerve. Ribs are also hit or miss for different ppl. My ribs didnt hurt as much as my chest or my back.
This guy is so boring to listen too. So monotone
Thanks Bro.!
My last artist was super straightforward. What we were planning was going to be a full day and she just said "if you want a pre-made design, it's X, if you want custom, it's Y". Made it simple.
My knee was hell but my stomach is the worst so far and I have 41 tattoo’s
Great video bro.
Fingers! Starting a full sleeve next week..
Are you really a tattoo artist? That’s like me going to get my car painted and then telling me we don’t do that pain. We don’t do that paint. I don’t like doing that.
whats your take on st michaels?
I got a tattoo on my inner forearm in halfway through it it felt like he was digging into my inner elbow. I told the tattoo artist about it he's like oh yeah man it's nerves. He said he was getting a tattoo on his upper chest and it felt like at one point the guy was digging in his nipple but he was nowhere near it. Lol
I have a blowout on a crescent moon tattoo on the inside of my arm. I like to say it's the moonlight but I'm pissed about it happening.
This tattoo artist reminded me of all the annoying tattoo artist I went to see when I was getting my tattoo. I get it you have too much work and can turn work away. In my case I wasn't asking for a favor I was paying like anyone else. But some tattoo artist acted as if they were doing me a favor. I finally found one that was pretty cool and my tattoo came out great.
Just pick it up a few days ago. My wife impulsively bought a tattoo machine from Amazon and I've done about 8 good tattoos, or at least the person that has I did the tattoo for is happy. So it must be good.
Thank you for a very informative video.
If the client is paying you good money, it's your job to tattoo whatever the heck they want! Maybe choose a different career path if you hate it that much? No one likes every aspect of their job. 🤔 Being a tattoo artist is still better than other jobs out there.
Big bearded dude 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lions is an evangelical thing. "The Bible says that Christians are like lions. A lion represents kingship, royalty, rulership, majesty, strength, courage, boldness, fearlessness, and bravery." I think it's stupid... I mean, I am pretty sure Jesus was against most of those things. LOL.
All local tattoo shops said no over the phone for apprenticeship! I’m going to get my license before I tattoo anyone cuz I don’t want to be the hook up artist that doesn’t get taken seriously.
im west african tho , does this apply xD
I used to be an in technician and the base where are you putting the ink on makes a difference the screen they call it.. and a very light color can get darker really easy because of the screen quote on quote
The probe being really dark-skinned is if you're a boxer the damage doesn't look as effective .. like when Floyd Mayweather boxes a light skin competitor lol 😂 it's the truth and I don't give a f*** who says what about the truth because Jesus is truth I love that brother.. my favorite thing about Floyd is he gave up drinking and smoking play for his success
I'm a Mexican darker than some black people add quote on quote.... Sorry for the text to speech... But there is dark and then there's Kevin Garnett black with all due respect to that brother that's just another level of black but not everybody's that dark nothing wrong with that he's a handsome man I look in the mirror I see my man you know what I mean bring me home the bacon everyday❤😂 bring my wife da bacon.. but there's levels of darkness is what I'm saying
I can get really light if I allude the sunlight,, and when I'm working out in the sun I get really dark darker than some black people with all due respect I'm just saying...
Thanks for this vid
I'mma get what I want if I'm paying. What a cry baby.
I have darker skin and he put white ink for my first tattoo and during the healing process it mainly all fell out
I'm not sure why this showed up in my feed 5 years after the fact, but I found it very interesting. I do see a lot of very dark-skinned people with tattoos but unfortunately, they're done so poorly that you can't even see what the tattoo is, just that something appears to be there. Based on this it sounds like they didn't have a competent tattoo artist to provide them with guidance.
yeah.. never had a "mean" artist. You seem to fit the bill though
Man i just get tattoos during meaningful points in my life i have 3 that don’t matter and after 3 years im kinda ehhh on them but the my love for my meaningful ones has never wavered.
I went on a couple 200 mile backpacking trips with my dad. Got hypothermia on one of them. I went with 14 other people each time. Instead of some corny mountain with trees in a triangle i got our treck identification numbers. One has a chess bishop next to it because I played a supporting role one time The other has a 3 point crown because I lead 15 ppl including myself through 200 miles of the New Mexican back country.
Great video👌🏾
Only 8 min. In and absolutely love how you explain everything. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️🔥✨️
Calf and elbow my least favorite lol
Well said sir
This is exactly the job for me. Thank you so much. I wish there was a way to keep up with you and show my progress. From this day forth 06/04/2024 I will be a tattoo artist and I will work on it every day.
