Creating a unique style in tattooing is essential for standing out in the industry, especially in recent years. Distinct mark-making, technique, creative shape design, fit and most importantly “FLOW” are what separate the tattooers from the tattoo artists.
Dave Koenig stands among the few who have transcended beyond just being an exceptional tattoo artist. He has set himself apart, transitioning seamlessly into commercial art, showcasing his creativity and versatility. His unmistakable scrollwork, gestural figures forms and clear structural prowess glide your eye through his compositions, elevating not just his clients anatomy but any object he applies a brush or a pencil to. From murals to cars, bottles in bars, signs and guitars, Dave has pretty much done it all.
We hope that you enjoy this first, short foray Fireside is taking into documentary making. If this is enjoyable please let us know who you’d like to see us spend some time with next. Hopefully we will make this an ongoing series of deeper, more in depth pieces on stand out people in the tattoo community.

    I've used pens for Large needle grouping for shading. I've been using coils for 19 years and tried pens for the last 5 years, I Like the pens for shading large groupings but always, always depend on my coils. Sometimes I worry if my Pen will go out but never ever worry if my coil machines would die out during a session.

    Awesome video, just a heads up though - here in Aus, we had an artist have 11 clients come back with such a bad skin infection they have to go on a 5 year round of antibiotics OR have the areas where the greywash was used completely cut out (with a chance that after the 5 year course, they still may need to have skin removed). The reason I'm writing this is because it was a SOLID INK brand bottle of premade greywash. Areas infected were only where he used it and everything else healed fine. Was also a new bottle. Maybe it was a bad batch, but I've had other local artists heavily recommend against the brand. So if you're going to continue using them just be careful homie!

    How would you print the correct size to fit the markers on the skin

  • @NeumaTattoo
    @NeumaTattoo Před měsícem

    Torque in this case is basically the twist force. In the case you’re referencing, since the distance vector is the same between the two motors referenced, the force is greater in the macro motor in order to achieve the greater millinewton meters measurement. More twist force in the macro motor, as you can imagine, equates to more needle poke force, or punch as you described it.

    • @NeumaTattoo
      @NeumaTattoo Před měsícem

      It is true that the mechanism plays a part as well, but I’m not sure whether Aaron realized that the two machines use the same mechanism in the example you were making.

  • @NeumaTattoo
    @NeumaTattoo Před měsícem

    Very cool stuff. I see that your needle is entering 90 degrees to the surface, have you tried angling the machine and needle to see how it changes? Most artist I know tattoo at somewhat of an angle, even as much as 45 degrees at times. I’m curious what that changes with this type of study.

    Saran Wrap. Then ducttape the arm just to get the pattern and measurements. Like sewing and/ draping clothing on a body form. I guess one could say that you’re draping a tattoo during the fitting session before the big day the big day that you get married to your tattoo. 🎉
