    Hi. Thanks for the video it was pretty interesting. I'm a tattoo client myself and my tat from almost 2 years is all thick black lines and all of them are raised permanently. I was suspecting scarring as the artist was extremely heavy handed and it was so freaking painful. He is a pretty popular artist tho so I wasn't sure. But perhaps he needs to watch your video 😂. Anyways, is there any way to treat this? Make it less raised? And if I were to try to get some work done over it would it even take? Thanks

    I was new to that, I wanted a sleeve and end up having a full forearm tattoo with a noob artist and few portions healed raised. it has been 3 years and I am living with a raised tattoo. My sleeve has been completed and my upper arm and shoulder tattoo was done by an expert and it ended well. but I really like to fix my forearm tattoo. is there anything I can do?

    Hey could you elaborate for me on this subject? I'm in a state that does not require a license to do tattoos. I still need to check my county laws, but in regards to asking a client or the waiver, etc, are we ALLOWED to ask if they have these skin conditions and/or conditions such as hpv/hiv, any other blood borne illness, immuno suppressive disorders, etc? Then if we can ask, and they answer yes, what do you do from there regarding these clients? Are you legally allowed to deny services to someone with a disease that could be spread? And what about scoriosis? If you take time to answer these thank you for your time

    • @BetterTattooing
      @BetterTattooing Před 14 dny

      As far as I know you’re allowed to ask that they’re not required to answer. If they don’t answer, you’re not required to do the Tattoo. That’s the sickness stuff it’s up to you. I tattoo people with all kinds of conditions and I don’t allow anyone from coming into my chair, but that’s me if you’re not comfortable with something just don’t do it. Easiest way to avoid any issues.

    Have been through a few videos now and have to say a massive thank you! Hands down has been the most helpful and informative series I've come across. Its really disappointing to see how popular some of these other tattoo tutorial channels are compared to this channel. Majority are just making videos for the sake of the video itself and not actually explaining things properly and in detail, I feel as though your genuinely explaining the hows and whys of tattooing with the pure intention of teaching people and not for the views. I hope more people who are passionate about the industry that want to learn find your videos and the channel grows, love your work mate!

  • @ewarucinska936
    @ewarucinska936 Před měsícem

    This is sooo helpful, I'm so glad I found your channel! So would you suggest to slightly over moisturise overworked tattoo? Like x3 times a day? I'm apprenticeshiping and unfortunately I way overworked someone's skin in colour, now my mentor said to let it dry until scabs come off and then heavily moisturise whilst a Tattooed dermatologist I follow suggest moisturising. Honestly at a loss of what aftercare to recommend.

    • @BetterTattooing
      @BetterTattooing Před 14 dny

      Good question. It’s complex how to tailor an aftercare routine to a specific place, time of year, or even the client. There really isn’t a one-sized-fits-all approach to this topic. Rather than trying to find one way to heal all tattoos we should be defining a few things to help avoiding pigeon holes in our care routines. 1. How much trauma did we do to the skin during the tattoo? One dot versus 13 hours non-stop is different amounts of trauma so both should have different care routines. For the dot, little care is required. Literally the person has to avoid doing stupid things, like lighting the dot of ink on fire. The longer session is different though… if the person doing the tattoo didn’t overwork the tattoo or overly stress the skin then minor care is required to heal the wound. The client would need to make sure it says dry, free from dirt or grossness, and only uses enough moisturizing stuff to ensure the skin stays flexible. If the wound is severe more has to be done to care for it. 2. How healthy is the clients skin before the procedure? If you tattoo a 99 year old ex-biker the tattoo will heal differently than a 19 year old gymnast. More care and protection is required for wounds that won’t heal and deal in a short time. There’s a lot more to it than that but hopefully it can get you started on the path to thinking this stuff out

    It's absolutely criminal how far CZcams makes me scroll through click bait/ garbage videos it wants to push on me when I started my search with better tattooing specifically, followed by a topic you not only cover in a video, but include verbatim in the title of said video which I was looking for. I'm also subbed and hit the bell icon ect. I get that you can use quotes in your search query to pull up more specific results and I could have gone to your page directly and then search from there but that's not the point. The first time I searched there was at least 10 other videos listed before yours along with the suggested shorts et al. After re-entering my search it was 20+ videos deep. There are some other good sources for some helpful tips or advice in regards to tattooing on CZcams sure, but none that come close to teaching a legitimate curriculum of credible and unbiased facts which is desperately needed on yt, especially since it's the only platform the vast majority of today's scratchers birthed from Amazon/COVID/inflation/etc will ever look on to find out what they need to know to be able to tattoo (safely.) I've been on CZcams since 08, and out of all of the terrible terrible decisions and changes Google has made, whatever they have most recently done to the algorithm to return such an abomination for search results is by far the most obscene, greedy, and disconcerting for so many reasons 😑 sorry for the rant but that's s*** has me so heated especially as a paying customer for 'premium' well.. WAS at least. If there's anything to do as a viewer to help increase engagement or whatever it takes to get these videos pushed up the results list to more viewers, I'd be more than glad to do whatever I can. partially just out of gratitude for what y'all are putting out here for free but even more so for the newbies out there who would have otherwise never even been suggested your vids at all, possibly going to some content creator from Tiktok or w/e who could be equally as ignorant + unqualified to teach this at all.

    • @BetterTattooing
      @BetterTattooing Před 2 měsíci

      Personally, I wouldn’t recommend pushing round shaders as a liner. It’s a shader needle. If you’re going to anyways, I really depends on the geometry and coil setup of the machine. Anywhere from 2mm-2.5mm for most machines, a little more for oversized machines that are slappy and you lead off the tube. Add 0.5-1mm for those who lead off the needle.

      @BetterTattooing Před 2 měsíci

      No. They do expire. The method of sterilizing had a time limit - otherwise we would be able to can, jar, or otherwise preserve things for an indefinite amount of time. This goes down to the packaging and how it loses the ability to seal the product in. The needles may be able to last but what they are wrapped in doesn’t - I.e. the glue on the backing. Just buy new stuff. It’s cheap!

      The short answer is yes and no. Not trying to be a arse but there isn’t ever going to be a single, “This is how you do it every time” approach to tattooing. You have to make guesses everyday based on the variable of the client as a person. Their age, health, genetics/ancestry, lifestyle, pain tolerance, etc. should all come into play when you choose how to approach the work. Maybe I’ll make a video about that when we get back to filming in a couple of weeks.

    • @BetterTattooing
      @BetterTattooing Před 2 měsíci

      If it isn’t causing you discomfort don’t stress. It’s probably just scarred. If it gets itchy, blisters when exposed to sun, or causes other feelings of unwell - go see a dermatologist and get a biopsy. If it’s just raised and doesn’t feel any different there’s only one thing to worry about - premature aging. The tattoo will look less clear sooner and require skilled hands to fix down the road.

    why do most manufacturers choose to go with plastic for the flywheel cam? why not metal. i notice this a lot on the adjustable stroke machines.

    • @BetterTattooing
      @BetterTattooing Před 3 měsíci

      Probably noise, weight, and manufacturing costs. It’s easy to extrude a plastic wheel like those you’ve seen. Forging or pressing one would be much costlier. The metal would also have different stresses when friction is applied to it - I.e. heat dissipation may be an issue with greases or other internal components. Lastly arising a press-in bearing for metals can be a bastard at that size. You’ll need precise machinery to accomplish it (I’m assuming as I’ve tried pressing in these small bearings so many times and have exploded them with little effort) and that costs money. It’s easier to heat a small bit of plastic and slide that sucker in with some sealant. These are my assumptions as I’m not a manufacturer so take them as you will 🤘
