Tattoo on Transparent "Skin" at 20,000fps - The Slow Mo Guys
Filmed on the Phantom TMX 7510
#bolt - Zábava
I've never wanted to get a tattoo. But after watching this video, my feelings have completely stayed exactly the same.
Yep. I’m good too 😅
Man I've always wanted to. And I've succumbed to the thirst
Was about to write that exact comment, so I'll just comment on yours instead! :D
Same here. Tattoos are not for me, and they never will be.
for me it's the other way around - I always wanted a tattoo, still do but I`m too afraid of other people's judgment to get one
The reason why tattoos are permanent is because the size of the ink particles are too big for the immune system to remove. This is why a fresh tattoo is so detailed, but they do fade as the immune system removes the finer particles. Laser removal works by superheating the ink particles and breaking them into small pieces the immune system can then remove.
Cheers!
Nice
The human body recognizes the ink as a foreign object and the immune system actually never removes any particles. The white blood cells encapsulate the ink to prevent it from making any damage and when that white blood cell dies it gets replaced by another and some ink gets lost in the process. The ink that flows freely usually gets stuck in the lymph nodes where it stays.
So our body basically be like"not another tattoo you dumb monkey! "
Ink from tattoos can get stuck in the lymph nodes though. Which would be especially bad if you get a tattoo witth bad/toxic ink.
"The whole jiggly thing is just jiggling." -The Slow Mo Guys.
Such a profound statement.
Tattoo artist here! If anyone is scared of getting a tattoo from this video, please know it’s not at all realistic and our needles shouldn’t go that deep ever ever EVER :) would love to see round two with a tattooer who doesn’t shove the needle into the skin and leave it there LOL
😂😂
I would love to see a good technique displayed too.
I was honestly surprised they didn't take this as an opportunity to team up with a pro in this instance. It'd only be a realistic experiment with someone who knows how to operate the equipment.
As someone with a tattoo, and yet also a distaste for needles (like to the point of nearly passing out from getting blood drawn), it's really not that bad people. I had my ribs done and it was fine. After about the 3rd hour it began to get uncomfortable, but truly, it's not that bad. If you want body art, don't let fear prevent you.
Facts!! Not even accurate to the real tattoo artistry.
Do you have videos that prove it?
Dan: "neither of us are brave enough to get the tattoo ourselves"
Also Dan: *Jumps onto a trampoline covered in mouse traps*
i would rather get snapped by mouse traps than to get 4 needles poked at me 200 times a second
@@ms9001 I haven't felt my forearm tattoo. It's large but it didn't hurt. I'm pretty proud to have it!
Mousetraps hurt a little. Tattoos leaves you permanently marked.
Tattoos feel strangely good
mouse traps are temporary, tattoos are forever (unless you get them removed by burning them off).
As others have also said, would love to see a collab with a tattoo artist. They'd have insight on proper usage/depth of the equipment.
Yea they were definitely going to deep based on my knowledge. Not an artist but have 60+ hours under the needle.
@@-Mintyy apprentice?
@@-Mintyy even with only 4 hours under the needle it's clear. They really don't have artistic control of their arms so you can see that after just a second they rest the casing on the "skin" when it goes incredibly deep.
Why would there even be a setting to go deeper than what is required?
@@stefyroxanne7567 Well it wouldn't be an issue of "settings" but rather of user error. In other words, they're doing it wrong, and don't even know it.
That's what your skin sees when it looks up. The greatest ever
I've seen that tattoo artists will have a paper to wipe off the excess ink of the surface of the skin after drawing for a bit, but seeing up close how it pools on the skin in slow motion as it moves is actually quite cool.
I love how Dan has never expressed any embarrassment over anything he's done here on youtube but he's too embarrassed to tell us about his tattoo ideas. 😆
And that his tattoo idea was also like, very very tame
I mean, with that level of embarrassment, I thought it was going to be not a tattoo but some body jewelry like a prince albert ....
Dan: *gets incredibly embarrassed talking about a tattoo idea thinking it would look bad on him*
Proceeds to describe getting tattooed in an area that would look pretty awesome on him
@@katethegoat7507 tbf, his main point was how weird that type of tattoo would look on him when he was out of shape
I mean most tattoos are really embarrassing after a few years.
As a professional tattoo artist, this is both hilarious and insightful
I am too over 25 years of experience...don't ya think they have the needles out way to far!? Lofl
@@alejandropompa2810 it looked to me that the needles where too far out and also riding the tube so ink would of splattered everywhere, hidden the transfer outline and also caused some major blowouts. But it was a insightful watch and good to see what happens.
It just made me cringe a little bit watching a needle go under the surface by almost a centimeter
It would be nice to see someone with some clue doing this test
@@TheKillerZeesagreed. They should have brought in a professional tattoo artist- even with the ballistic gel it would have given a better idea of what was happening in real skin
As someone covered in tattoos, this gives me chills. I also feel kind of proud of myself 😂
10 minutes ago if you asked me why I don't have any tattoos I would have shrugged my shoulders and said "I don't know - I just don't". Now I actually know why I don't have any tattoos.
Everyone who has a tattoo;
"Yes. More tattoos."
Everyone who has no tattoos;
"No."
I definitely need more tattoos
I was one and done. Wasn't terribly unpleasant or painful but in almost 10 years of having one tattoo I have never had the desire for another. I'm content. My wallet thanks me for this.
@@SpudmuffinzI’m the second and done as well, haha.
Yes. Yes more tattoos, please! 😂
@@luna18915yes and?
I've made it 28 years of my life without getting a tattoo. Thank you Gav and Dan for securing at least another minimum 28 years for me.
Coward.
Good on ya, mate!
It's not that scary. I got a half arm tat to cover up some scaring and it doesn't hurt until after an hour when it inflamed a bit.
You'd be perfectly fine unless you're allergic to the ink, I'm covered in tattoos and I've turned out alright
@@MicahRibbentrop Tattoos are not needed. If OP does not feel a need to have one, that is perfectly fine.
Ive never wanted a tattoo because always visualised this
.
Now i know ive always made the right choice !

Cool vid 👍
Most places dont even hurt though
This isn't very accurate. Needles don't go that deep on real tattoos.
As a tattoo artist tattoo needles should NEVER go this deep!!!!
Very true I am not a tattoo artist but I know the needles never go that far in
If the 1.5 mm deep comment was accurate on the red shading needle, then yes, tattoos definitely do go that deep. The epidermis is 1-2 mm thick on average. If you are only getting ink into the epidermis, your tattoos probably aren't lasting very long.
Conflict of interest. We understand you gotta stay in business at the expense of the truth.
They never go 1.5mm deep? ._. Sure buddy
For those saying I'm lying or my tattoos don't last...i assure you they do, Watched on mute, didn't hear the depth, I'm old school learned by look and feel, and it looks too deep to me, that's it.
As someone who doesn't have a tattoo, i feel some sort of relief
i keep side eyeing mine now 💀💀
@@kewi.
I wunna git anutha wun. :/
@@kewi.Bombastic side eye
I have tatts on my fingers and the dude who did them had to trace the shapes 8-10 times due to how thick my skin is. He was blown away that I wasn't complaining because fingers are notoriously painful to tattoo.
No tough guy BS it honestly felt slightly stingy. My wrist was 100x more painful.
But now when people see my tatts they assume I'm some big tough guy. This video is only adding to my undeserved street cred.
2 ... Tatoo is very usefull 🙊
I forgot about these guys for years and then this was recommended to me. So glad these guys are still making quality bangers with good amounts of views.
Haha. Same!
SAME 😂

I didn’t even realize them or that I was even subscribed already until I saw this comment 😭
And now I need more tattoos thanks guys for the motivation
What a Professional Level of Creativity CZcamsrs HAVE
I now feel so much more metal about my tattoos. That was brutal
🤘
Same! Especially about the big one on my ribcage. Done in a single 5 hour session where I didn't ask for a single break. I think it's my proudest "achievement" 😂
Right?
Same bro 😂
so many people in the comments are like “this is why i could never get a tattoo” which is valid and i understand but i have four and my only thought was “this is SO COOL”
I love how these guys have been doing this stuff for the better part of a decade, and they've got all this sophisticated equipment.. and then Gavin is just... holding a flashlight 😂
more than a decade !
The beautiful thing about slow motion photography is that it happens so fast, you don't really need to hold the light that steady to get a good shot. The most important thing is to get LOTS of light on the subject, and a super bright flashlight fits that bill nicely in a lot of cases.
Light is the basis of all videography and photography after all. I mean studio lights are just giant flashlights right?
The acronym KISS comes to mind...
@@dashthescottkeep it simple stoner 😂love it.
6:38 "Like some of those fish that live underwater"
Love it!
I got a small tattoo on my wrist in 2022 and the needle felt little more than humming along. Was honestly quite shocked by how mild and painless it was. The anticipation/anxiety was 10000x worse - would love to see that in slow motion ;D
Tattoos don’t actually hurt, they’re just annoying depending on where/how long they take.
@brumslybrumbino9516 false lmao, they hurt. But they arent unbearable depending on where you get it, and the shading, lining and such. Theyre fun and arent all that bad
It depends on the area as well as the amount of time it takes. It can get irritating after several hours. My first one took 6 hours. It went from my back to my hip. About a foot long. It didn’t hurt to me, but closer to the end during the shading it had a sunburn feel to it.
my foot tat took 20 minutes and hurt worse. Still not bad but because it’s a bony area it’ll not be as pleasant.
Dan and Gav’s friendship is the best part of these videos

I got into a mild car accident last year and had a piece of my tattoo skinned clean off my knee! As the wound was healing I could see the tiny needle marks where the ink used to be under my skin, it was kinda cool. This video reminds me of that!

That is both kinda gross and kinda cool. 😆
that’s one crazy imagery
I find it so funny how little Gav and Dan know about tattooing, so innocent xD
Our skin not like jelly and I have tattoos and I'm still going to get even more thank u very much😊
thank you for showing the world how tough and daring you are through this comment.
*I would love to see a professional tattoo artist demonstrate technique on the ballistic gel,* I think that would be fascinating. I'd also love to see that same artist tattooing a person. I don't know how good of a shot you can get because the ink tends to get everywhere pretty quick, but definitely sounds interesting
Destin from Smarter Every Day has a macro tattoo slow mo video on real skin if you want to see it!
yeah, I'd love an experienced demonstration on the range between blowout and the skin not taking
SmarterEveryDay did that
Yes I was just thinking the same thing and was going to post it. Good thing I saw this first!
I'd volunteer if 1) I can choose the artist 2) I can choose the art and 3) it's comped
Seeing how the needles didn't actually deposit ink into the wounds directly but instead the ink being drawn into the wound after the needle had already been drawn out was absolutely fascinating! definitely not how i would have assumed it worked.
The gel is nothing like human skin though.
@@budgiefriendBut that's actually how tattoos are made. They don't inject, but rather push the ink in.
My brain was ooooohhhhh
@@9PlatinumGamer9 except in this case ink is pulled instead of being pushed
@oleksiykhmelov7346 my brain clicked and it now makes sense now , cus the needles create a vacuum and the ink gets sucked in.
I have 8 of them. This is fascinating.
Can’t wait for #9
I have tattoos and this video fascinated me. So excited for my next appointment
I have three tattoos. The first two hurt like absolute hell, and now I know why. The needles were way too deep, and it caused extreme burning for 4 days + they scarred and are raised. My third tattoo was clearly the most professionally done.... It barely hurt, and didn't burn at all afterwards. No scar.
Really cool to see what my skin had to go through for the sake of some kewl symbols, haha.
I have seven, designed all of them so I would never regret them. And they absolutely don’t hurt at all. Actually fell asleep for all of them.
Thats why you want to try and avoid heavy-handed tattoo artists. Only one of mine really hurt, and it's because the artist was practically leaning on my thigh to get the ink in.
I got a pretty big tattoo on my inner forearm 3 yrs ago and it kinda just felt like a bunch of cat scratches and only really hurt when he got closer to the sides of my forearm
The thing about time is that it alters what kewl is
That fact that people pay for pain Is funny, if punching people was a job I’d be all in.
6:58 "The whole jiggly thing is just jiggling." Astute observation, doctor. I concur.
New tattoo artists will probably really appreciate this video.

@@thermo_vrc correction, it was a great joke that you are too sensitive to appreciate.
Watched this and I can't wait for my next session next week.
Ink therapy love it. This video makes me want a tattoo more. It's so cool seeing how it looks in microscopic vid
What if you hired a professional tattoo artist to do this again but actually make stuff in the ballistics gel?
Preferably get some translucent practice skin (about £4 or $5 per sheet) because it's designed to better replicate human skin for budding tattooists than ballistic gel which is designed for ballistic testing, as the name suggests.
I hear Tom Scott, the youtube celebrity, is great at tattooing! :P
Or what if they used a high quality tattoo gun
That's what I was thinking. I wonder if it would look different with a professional.
That would be terabytes of recording!
As a tattoo artist the first pass you took with the liner needle made me cringeeeeee lol we definitely don’t go that deep that would scar someone up reallll quick. Silicone and similar mixtures are actually way harder to get ink to stay into. This was a great demonstration of how the needles actually get ink into the skin though. That is how it works in skin, those rubber mixtures just are harder for the needles to penetrate to make that ink transfer happen. With proper technique of pulling a line with tattoo needles, looking it it from the side, I’m pretty sure you’d see something somewhat closer to a solid rectangle going as deep as the needle did, instead of the jaggedness they had if that makes sense. No offense but homie would not be pulling clean lines like that 😂
Thank you for saying this! I was starting to think I was the only one who cringed at the depth and throw of the needle.
Unfortunate that I had to come this far down to see your comment. Lets vote it up to the top!
Huzaa! Insightfull comment!
Boosting
I thought the same, I don't think the needle goes that deep
This does not diminish my desire to continue to cover my arms but does help visualize why they can hurt like hell. You guys should do this again with a professional artist and have them do a full small tattoo with color.

The guys did a great job but there definitely a lot of miss info/incorrect things going on here.
@@CARTERTATTOOS ouchy!
I'd be interested in a part 2 where you slow-mo record an actual tattoo artist putting a little tattoo on some gel. That way you get his insight and he gets to see the "underworks" of what he's been doing his career.
🔥
Yes really good suggestion
As most tatoo artists does have tatoos...I think they already knows
@@crayontotallyen4616a tattoo artist still can’t see into their own skin
We also do not tattoo this deep. The video would be less satisfying lol
This is what slowmo is so good for!
As someone with tattoos, it's fascinating to see that this is the evolution of it and it makes sense how it works. lol It also explains why when you shed the ink "comes out" since it's not in the part of the skin that'll hold it because it was pushed through and some bits aren't the stay forever bits. Neat ^_^
To any aspiring tattoo artists out there, remember this, "Different skin takes ink better than others." I only have 3 tats, two of which were are cover ups, but there was a significant difference in pain levels between different artists. While I was getting my coverups, I mentioned to the artist ( a 40ish year old woman who had owned and operated her shop for 15 years ) how much less painful it was compared to when I first got them, and she told me my skin held ink very well. She went on to say that some artists really dig into the skin to guarantee the ink fully penetrates the top layer. It's not wrong per se, but it's not always necessary.
I have 4 tattoos, but my skin is the opposite of yours, I had to have 3 of them touched up because my skin doesn't hold the ink very well and one of them still has a couple of colourless blotches after 2 touch-ups. Strangely it's the 3 black ink only ones that didn't stick well, the one with colour had no problem at all holding the ink, I wonder if it's something to do with the make-up of the black ink.
Had to get my 4th tattoo corrected because the artist ( not the guy I've gone to for my other tattoos ) didn't go deep enough. The ink in the middle of the lettering all fell out during healing. Even now a couple years later it's still lighter in some areas. Will get it redone by my regular guy eventually.
@@Moondragon1821 My 4 were all done by different artists at different studios, the best result was the cheapest studio that unfortunately shut down, so I need to continue trying other places to find another good one.
Unfortunately the most reputable one in my area is out of my price range and has a 6-8 month waiting list because most of his customers are celebrities.
I have 4 tattoos, 3 of which caused frustration with the tattooist as the ink wouldn’t take, so an hour long tattoo took 3 hours and it felt like I was being massaged by a cheese grater the whole time. Apparently I have leather skin. Inner bicep/armpit area was fine, though.
@@Moondragon1821they were probably trying to avoid blowout.
This is absolutely crazy because two weeks ago while we were in studio we were talking about how amazing it would be if you guys created a video that showed tattooing in slow motion, and what it look like from inside the skin. Lo and behold you delivered! Love you guys!! ❤

That's ALL I can think about watching this. I have my whole leg sleeved.
I kept thinking that during this video. No good tattoo artist is going to bury the needle that deep.
I've got one tat, want more. I even nudged my bff into getting her first in Las Vegas.
After seeing this i still want more ink.
Someone commented recently about how well these vids are edited, i.e. no fluff in the intro and just gets us straight into the point of the video. This vid is a shining example of that - there was a golden exchange, but (presumably) Gav cuts it to appear at the end, so we've both got straight into the action at the start yet were able to enjoy the exchange. Such a good channel, keep it going lads
I think the ballistic gel stretches a bit more than skin. I think the needles make cleaner punctures in the skin than the gel suggests
wait but u r a girl, n girls dont get tattoo tho
"the whole jiggly thing is just jiggling" I love the highly scientific breakdowns you guys give :)
Considering the skin is made up of 3 layers I wonder what this would look like if you could have a thin layer of ballistic gel stuck to another bit of ballistic gel.
It's actually made of 7 layers and the ink replaces the 4 layers
Thinky thinky.
@@victorfiore6332the ink doesn't 'replace' the 4th layer, it resides ideally between the 4th and 5th layer.
@@victorfiore6332 7 layers? damn, ok, shows how much I know...I guess I was thinking of the main groups of layers?
You can pour clear gel, then slightly less clear gel (recycled twice) and finally non clear gel (5 times or more) in one sitting, thus creating one piece with different layers.
This channel is not about the cameras and technology, it's about the ideas, skill and execution these guys have mastered over the years 🙏 the way they control a tiny focus area is just amazing

wow good to see these guys again after like 7 years
As a professional tattoo artist, this is both hilarious and insightful. Love it. I want a few more tattoos..
@@TheSpanishInquisition-2 the way they applied the ink in this video is far from correctly done. The amount of trauma is pretty minimal if done correctly with the right needle depth, machine voltage and hand speed.
Even the angle you hold your machine at will have an effect on how the ink is put into the skin. Some lining needles require a different technique and machine speed compared to others depending on the amount of needles in the cartridge.
Hopefully this helps you understand more? If not im happy to answer any questions i might know the answer to😊
@@TheSpanishInquisition-2 your needle only ever goes between 1 - 2mm into the skin and one of our primary focuses is to reduce trauma as much as possible. An artist will usually make no more than 2 "passes" with a needle over skin if they are doing solid packing. This rule changes for certain shading but yeah. Its just kinda how tattooing works
You're not a professional, nor an artist.

This is really cool, but I think it could have been better if there was a real tattoo artist there to talk about the differences between the gel and actual skin and also demonstrate a proper technique and depth (I'm sure the guys were close, but an expert would have been better, maybe) with professional equipment.
Also, don't feel bad, Dan, most of the people I was in the Army with, including myself, went from working out a lot to having dad bodies 😞

He's pressing the needle too deep. It will still hurt but with a professional the needle does not go this deep.
Me too , It's disgusting to destroy your own skin, I am ok with people doing temporary ones using organic products but this is too much
My exact same thoughts. That's in addition to the fact that I've never seen a human being who looks better because of their tattoos.
@@_ericsherrill Regardless of the depth still you are still objectively injuring and infecting your skin that your body will fight against until the ink get erased over time. (yes white blood cells eventually manage to fight and erase the ink)
@@_ericsherrill Even still, I’ve never been interested. To me, a lot of tattoos are just permanent expressions of temporary emotions. While there are certainly tattoos that hold sentimental value and I wouldn’t think less of anyone else for getting them or invalidate the feelings they have towards them, I don’t feel the need to display those feelings on my body when I can just display them through my words or actions. Also, our bodies change as we get older. What looks good now probably won’t look good several years down the line.
As a tattoo artists wife and nurse I can tell you the needles NEVER go this deep.
TRUE
You gotta prevent your husband from being broke right? Understandable

That's because it didn't. This wasn't a great demonstration.

Ballistic gel has the properties of human bodies at the scale of a bullet etc. While this footage is incredible, it's quite fairly likely to be different from how ink behaves in actual skin.
You may have a point. However. This comment has done zero to change my position that the last thing my skin needs is a tattoo.

true, but it does still show us how the needle action works to deposit the ink, rather than injecting it like some people think
Pretty sure Gordon was just making a light hearted joke about not wanting a tattoo. Everyone always assumes negativity
guys, you are the best!
I have three tattoos, and now when I get the urge to get another one, I can watch this video to save myself the money :)
The calming sting and burn of getting a tattoo is extremely therapeutic to me, like a form of meditation
Can't say I've ever found pain to be calming or theraputic
At least you're not cutting yourself.
@@Uncivildefiancemost who do have incredibly high thresholds for pain, and usually ones theyve had to develop involuntarily.
"The calming sting and burn" are you a masochist?
suffering can be very meditative if you embrace it
You guys need to do a slowmo of explosive or hydro forming metallic spheres
Oh yes!
I wanna see slowmo of nuclear bomb 🙂
Sounds like a good excuse for another collab with Colin Furze.
I imagine it would be a nice way to round out the views.
@@jwalster9412I see what you did there😂
I'm 55% covered in my own designs and can't wait to get more the feeling is great
Tattoos trigger a constant immune system response
I just got my first tattoo 5 days ago and this is fascinating. Thanks!
@@sup445 when you get one you realize that it wasn´t actually that painful, it's bearable really. I recommend sessions no longer than 3 hours tho, last one I had was 5 hours and 45 minutes and it was of course more painful in terms of having to endure more needling
@@negazion1 Taking sugary drinks and snacks for long sessions apparently helps, I can't confirm this myself as my longest session was only 90 minutes, but a friend who regularly has 4-6 hour sessions told me this.
@jollybodger got 3 tattoos that took a full 8 hours each and yes I absolutely recommend taking snacks and taking a little break for long sessions
You know what they say about Tattoos? Welcome to your new addiction 😁 I'm sure you will be getting more😊
Honestly, this was a great sponsorship. A product that not only do you consistently use, but you also commonly use it on the channel.
Ayeee! Roll Tide fellas!

The day I get a tattoo I get this recommended XD not put me off getting more but niiiiice love needles as it is
As someone with an ample amount of tattoos, fair to say this both fascinated but also kinda scared me.. hasn't put me off more though 😁
Slow Mo guys - continuing to create reference videos for special effects that visual artists haven't even thought of yet.
They need to do more big budget jobs. They did great on Dredd

Getting tattooed is the best feeling ever.
