Today we take a look at the CNC P6, a tattoo machine that claims you can adjust the stoke of your machine from 3 to 4 mm. I set off to see if this is true or not... or at least if it seems true or not. After trying a liner, shader and a mag I can honestly say that it is not a Gimmick at all. I could deff see running at 3mm for shading and round 4mm to get the color packed in nicely all while using the same machine. With a price point under $200 its hard to bear.
Hope you all enjoyed the video and if you did give it up a thumbs up and consider subscribing!!
I like to remind people that In no way am I a fantastic tattoo artist guys. I just love tattooing but I am still on my journey and want to show you how its done so you can do it and do it better then me!! 🤘

I have been tattooing for 15 months now and I've never been inlove with what I do. Tattooing has saved me from a lot of trouble and has brought so much happiness and abundance to my life, I am looking forward for more years to come.
The struggle I have is having no one to teach me stuff, since the beginning I've been self-taught and I honestly feel I'd be alot better had I been mentored by someone. That's why I am a consistent viewer of your channel and you've been a lifesaver for me for a lot of times since my first week of tattooing.
Self taught unite!
I have been tattooing for almost 9 months now and at first I was struggling with shaky hands from nerves and one pass lines but with the help of your videos I learned to find the right voltage for my machine and hand speed and I got the confidence to pull a line from point a to point b I can’t thank you enough a number of your videos have helped me a lot from all the materials I needed and even how to bag my machine and be sanitary also finding right layer of skin also color packing and much more so again thank you very much for everything I have learned
I’ve been tattooing for 2 years now and the biggest struggle is finding an apprenticeship in Alaska and I can’t thank you enough because your videos have helped me A LOT!
I've been in an apprenticeship for 1.5years and tattooing for roughly 4 months (in and out of Covid lockdowns).
My biggest problem in tattooing has been internal struggles. Imposter syndrome and anxiety have taken the better of me at times and it's really taken a toll on my self-esteem and confidence. I realise that it's something that I will probably have to work on for the rest of my career, but damn it brings a heap of shadow stuff to the surface very quickly in an "old school" apprenticeship. Discipline, determination and constant learning is what's guiding me forward. Your videos and guides have been a saviour for me and you don't realise how big of an inspiration you are to new artists.
You deserve great things and it's brilliant watching your progression, passion and drive.
Thankyou! Keep up the great work!
Luna
I've been in the tattoo process for 5 months and struggling with the stipple shading process but I watch your videos over and over again to keep learning the processes, very much appreciate the knowledge you share
Thanks for sharing David! Yeah stippling can be a bit difficult to get down but im glad the channel could help you out. Thanks for watching David I appreciate the support and best of luck!🤘🙏
I’ve been practicing tattooing for 2 years now, and my biggest struggle has been shading, specifically packing the black into the skin. I’ve come a long way, and your videos have helped me astronomically. Keep up the great work !
I've been practicing for a year. my struggle has been smooth shading. I have not found the right combination of technique to achieve it. Your videos have helped me tremendously and made it all more digestable and a lot less scary. Thanks!
I have been tattooing for about 3 years. I have followed your page for a while now and have learned so much. A HUGE thank you for all you do to help everyone on this journey. I have been having a major problem with smooth transition shading.. God only knows how many practice skins I have gone through. But I keep at it and keep failing.. good luck to everyone and Dave again a huge thank you for all you do for us!!
It's my second month of practice and my biggest struggle is, everything for the moment, starting from linework, but I love it so much! Your videos are extremely helpful! Thank you!!!
I've been tattooing for one year and my biggest struggle is consistency. I'm gonna keep at it and thank you so much for your videos they really help out a lot!
Sup Dave!
I have been doing tattoos for three months now and I have been struggling with clean crispy one pass lines.
Thank you for everything you do for the art form and community! Your videos have inspired me and thought me so so flipping much. Much Love!
Tattooing for about 4 months and everything is new and exciting I struggle with shading just learning where to shade how to follow my stencil well and getting practice in but you channel has been everything I need to get better
I've been tattooing for around a year now and I am struggling with packing solid black, really enjoying the process of making tattoo designs with pencil and paper though. Thank you for all your help. Extremely informative videos.
Love your videos and how detailed with explaining things it helps out so much! Thanks for taking the time to do so. I've been tattoo for about 2 years now and my biggest struggle at first was one pass lines and now I haven't been able to practice on fake skin or myself alot lately been busy/lack of space to do so... so I find myself going over your videos and refreshing the basics and it's helped so much that I feel I need alot more work on needle depth and just techniques or shading and stuff like that
Hey, I appreciate your tips and overall content, thanks. I been tattooing for 6-years. My biggest struggle was learning hand speed and voltage to comfortably tattoo; but I believe that was due to figuring out the many machines that I was trying out.
I've been learning for about 4 months this time. Started about 10 years ago and stopped so it's all new again to me. But biggest problem for me is consistency all right now. But on hold for now as my machine capped out on me so have to buy a new one. But will be doing that soon. But as always enjoy the videos and good luck to to whoever wins the machine, and keep doing what you do man. Wouldn't be where I am without your help.
I bet after 10 years things are deff a lot different. I wish you the best of luck Rodney and thank you so much for your support I really appreciate it!🤘🙏
@@ArtSomething More than happy to support you. I'm not worried if I win the machine. I just enjoy your videos and the help you give me and others like me that are learning. Hope one day I will be able to be alongside you in helping others as well.
I have been tattooing for a week now. Your videos made me finally take the leap and buy a CNC Q2. My struggle right now is finding the extra time and cash with 3 kids but I have managed a tattoo one a night on fake skin. Keep up with the great content man 💯
I have been tattooing for a little less than a year I think my biggest struggle is Is maintaining a good solid stretch on Those hard to work on Places like ribs. I also tend to hyperfocus on small details and sometimes forget to come back and look at the entire work. Finding a good throw for the work Im doing is something else I need to work on.
Just started getting into tattooing in the last 6 months, my biggest struggle is getting consistent lines, and also trying to get the right kind of saturation in my pieces. Thank you for all the knowledge you share on here, I couldn't get where I am without all of your videos on here!
L've been tattooing for the last 10yrs, l'm self taught. I struggle with smooth consistent grey wash & i would love to win this rotary machine as well
I’ve been tattooing for about a year. I think my biggest struggle is confidence causing me shaky hands. I’ve been practicing and I must say that it’s getting better. And your videos have helped me all the way through this process and I’m enjoying it!! Thanks so much dude!!
I started tattooing as a kid back in 1965,, doing a needle and thread with india ink on myself. When I was in the service, a friend showed me how to build prison style machine. Got out of it for years but then the last years I have really gotten into it again. I currently have a cheap coil machine. I am right handed but I have been trying to use my left for tattooing as well. It's a challenge.
Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work.
I've been tattooing for nearly a year now, your videos helped me take a leap of faith into a field I've always wanted to do. The biggest struggle I have is color blending. Specifically when trying to do galaxies and watercolor style tattoos.
I’ve been tattooing for a few months now. Didn’t take long for me to fall in love with it. My biggest struggle would probably be my line work, although I don’t think I’m really bad, I definitely want to get it better and as crisp as possible. Thanks again for all you do man! Your videos are a huge help on my tattoo journey
Hello. I began tattooing a little over a year ago. I’m specializing in lining & fine details like realistic insects. My struggle? Getting crisp lines with any needle less than 1207RL. The smaller you go, the less room for error. (I’m sure a snazzy new machine would help, eh?) 😁
Your channel has been an inspiration. Your humble & open-minded attitude allows us to really grow & improve right along with you.
Coming up on my one year mark and ive learned so much from you Dave! thank you for your abundance of knowledge!!
Problem i am facing is that i am a hands on learner and i have no one to teach me hands on so i am just having to push through and continue to learn and improve on my own! thank you bud!!
Hey Dave! I've been practicing for about a year and a half now. I've been looking for an apprenticeship but its been hard being in rural NC and finding a decent artist I trust but im still working and your video have been helping me out a ton! Keep at it bro
I’ve been tattooing a little over a year and been watching your channel the whole time and you have helped tremendously, and still have a little struggle with line work but I feel it mostly trying to get my hand in a comfortable position
I’ve been tattooing for about a year and a half, taking your course as well! My biggest struggle is learning what I like when it comes to a machine and I’ve freshly started with colour so having another machine should be amazing for me
Great vid found your channel a few weeks ago when I started trying to tattoo. Your channel has been a big help very informative and down to earth teaching. I’ve Only used coils so far. You make rotarys look very promising can’t wait till I can afford to get one of these. Keep up the good work.
I've been practicing since 5months now and learned a lot from you and your videos. The biggest issue or struggle is my lining and sometimes getting my shading extra smooth. It comes out often darker than I would expect or want but I will keep practicing and learning for sure to master it. Thank you for your amazing content and I would love to have this machine. Looks amazing. I'm working with the Q2 at the moment and love it.
Love the channel and all the info that you give. I have been tattooing for about 15 years off and on and just learned about the rotary pen type machines. Love what they can do and I struggle on color blending. Have a nice day and keep the videos coming!!!
I've been tattooing for about a year and a half. I have been watching your videos from the get go. They are a huge help, and i can't thank you enough. You are awesome! My biggest struggle so far has been packing in solid color. Half the time my color packing seems to have a pattern in it and doesn't look uniform. I also have trouble getting a good stretch on fattier skin, so its hard to really get the ink in there. Thats probably a mixture of my technique and my shitty amazon tattoo kit machine. I've read quite a bit about these cnc machines, and i think having one would really help me get better end results with my tattooing. Hopefully luck is shining down on me and i win this. I feel like an apprenticeship is a pipe dream, but having the proper equipment (like this machine) and more practice could turn that pipe dream into a reality. Thanks again for all the great videos!
I have been tattooing around 8 months. Every time I pick up my machine I find myself getting a bit better. I have got my blood borne pathogens certification and have done as much research about safety and the art as I possibly can, huge shout out to you! Though it is difficult for me to afford a very nice machine like this, I do the best with what I have! (Amazon rotary) Between family and friends everyone is excited to watch me grow and get better each time they have been so very supportive. I would say my biggest problem is getting those deep rich one pass lines in. Sometimes I hit it beautifully depending on the person and sometimes I just can't seem to get it. This may be due to the stroke of my machine, persons skin, hand speed, etc. Still learning and making adjustments every chance that I get. Thankful for your videos, you ROCK!
Just getting back into tattooing after a good 6 or so years out and loving it now more them ever, mostly due to the wealth of knowledge that guys like yourself are openly sharing so for that I thank you 🤘 my biggest struggle so far finding that balance and time management with this and just life and finding the time to sit down with more than half an hour but I know I'll get there. Keep rocking dude 🤘
I have been getting tattoos for years, especially during my military time. finally decided one day, about 7 months ago, im going to give this a try. ordered up some cheap POS old school style and started on fake skin and fruit. Bought a dragonhawk mast with just the plugin about a month into it. started investing in ink and watching videos to help get better. I have definitely not come close to reaching my full potential, if i ever will. However i still have issues with the lines sometimes where one line can look like its different size needles being used. I still sometimes go to deep when packing color. But its a work in progress as always. regardless of the give away, I appreciate everything you do and all the help youve been to people such as myself. It is greatly appreciated brother. Im glad I found your videos, not others have helped like yours.
Been tattooing for about a year now! Your videos have helped get a grasp on some of the more interesting techniques as well as the simple. Textured shading has been the tricky one though lol keep poppin off with these videos though man!
Love your work Bro! Inspiring! I'm currently convincing myself to follow my tattooing dream. I have to say watching you and the things you say give me hope! My biggest struggle is believing that I'm good enough to produce great art, its been a lot of years sense I've drawn anything :(.
Peace and Love Brother
Hi Dave,
I been tattooing since 2019. I´m a self-taught person. No aprenticeship, no mentors. Just downloaded books, free courses and valuable tips from a few tattoo artists like you and others from Spain in youtube, for what I´m very grateful.
Beginning last year I developed a Dequervain's tenosynovitis on the wrist of my tattoo hand doing some exercises in the gym that has disabled me for over a year. Now I´m taking the machines again to practice on fake skin and on my own flesh (and blood).
My major strugle is to make perfect straight lines (don´t ask me for an arrow o geometric figures), and somethimes, make a solid color packing. I think that because I have not yet mastered the needle depth.
That adjustable stroke pen look very interesting. I´d like to try it.
Greetings. Semper Fi.
I’ve been around tattooing since I was 16 and done lots of studying and been working on my tattooing for real about a month and because I’ve watched ur videos I can say it’s helpful and I have got a lot better since I used ur videos to improve
My husband started tattooing 13 yrs ago and broke his hand then when we met decided to learn together during covid! Weve been tattooing since fall 2019! And it has been a rough journey. From the very first tattoo I did on myself to the 22nd now under my belt and especially watching your videos! All that trial and error and just each time getting more and more confident (especially with my line work/ I am gonna email you our tattoo journey and cant wait to hear what wisdom/criticism/tips you have to offer on the progress!) I still struggle with packing in color I get impatient sometimes and tend to over work my skin... I know I have to just find the right method and slow down lol but I am so happy with my progress and cant wait for more tips!!!
I have only just begun. About a week! And my biggest struggle is linework at the moment. But it's getting better thanks to your youtube alone with a few others I've been watching.
I've been tattooing for about a year now my biggest struggle would be shading just finding the rite spots to shade or what kinda shading to use but watching videos like yours have helped immensely
I've been tattooing for about 4-5 months now consistently.. and I think the thing I struggle with the most is shading and deciding which needles are best for the shading piece I'm doing whether a mag is the way to go or a round shader, as well as speed. Living in a small town in Ontario, there aren't many people or places to reach out to for tips and tricks, so your channel has definitely been my holy grail from the start! So many tattoo artists have that old school mentality where everything has to be some big secret and competition with one an other.. so I can't even express how much I appreciate your channel!! Keep killing it man 🤘🏼
I've been tattooing for a it over a year. Been struggling with black and grey at the moment. It's new to me so just getting my head around it. I really enjoy your channel keep it up. Thanks bro.
I think it's so awesome you're doing a giveaway! Awesome videos too, man!!
1. Tattooing for a little less than two years.
2. Biggest struggles I have is packing in the ink during shading/coloring
I have a coil machine, never knew how well pen style machines were till I've seen your videos.
You're a huge influence, and I've probably watched every video twice. 😂
Thank you Christopher really appreciate that and thank you for ALL the support its much appreciated. 🤘🙏
Just getting into the art form. Still acquiring gear. My biggest obstacle right now is narrowing down the playing field, but your videos are helping. Thanks for the content!
I have been Tattooing for about 2 months and my daugther about the same we have been learning together. Been drawing for years. I am struggling with lining and a little shake from time to time but been gone through just about all of your vids and they have helped alot. You re just about the only person that breaks it down to a beginner level. You are much appreciated brother. Semper Fi
Before I get any backlash about me and my daughter learning together my daughter is 24 and I am way older. It's never to late to learn something new
I'm self teaching myself on how to tattoo with the help of ur videos.. iv bin tattooing on and off for 6 month and iv found out that I have issues with shading but I am getting better do to ur informative videos.
I've been tattooing for almost 13 years. Completed my apprenticeship in July 2011, tore my back out the following October. I've had multiple surgeries over the years, and I mostly struggle with the down time after surgeries. It's been 6 months since I last tattooed a client thanks to a failed back fusion, then another fusion to fix it, Lol. These videos help keep me motivated, and practicing different techniques until I can start taking appointments again. The videos are a gold mine of information, thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world.
Hey! Thank you very much for your work! It helps me a lot. It was actually the first channel about tattoos that I’ve followed. I’ve been practicing on a fake skin for about 10 months. I started my apprenticeship two month ago. And so far I’ve done three tattoos. At the moment, pretty much everything is hard for me😹 but maybe the most I struggle with are: lettering and realistic style
8 months ago, I started getting into tattooing. Quickly I noticed how many people tattoo directly on skin and thereby ruin the skin of their friends. So I started with the basics for 7 months now. Drawing, drawing, drawing.. all the needle configurations, needle depth, hygiene, ink & colors, voltage, machines and equipment, after care, how to set up a workstation, different shading techniques etc. oh and ofc drawing every free minute. With all this knowledge, I ordered 6 kg of reel-skin and will now practice lines, circles and different simple shapes until I'm confident enough to take the next step - shading. My biggest struggle is to be patient and not skip a step :)
Love your videos - greetings from Germany
Have been tattooing for around 9 months now and basicly everything i learned is from you Dave, love the channel. I,m using a Mast tour but this would be amazing to try with the different strokes
I’ve been tattooing a little over a year. At this point the hardest thing is staying consistent. Some tattoos are bangers other just fall a bit short. Advice? Great channel dude. Super helpful!
I always had a weak body but my dad passed away very early so i had to work, worked on an engine repair shop, tried barbers, worked on coffe shops but i always had passion on art and especially tattoing. I started doing tattoos to my friends at first (warned them about my lack of experience) and posted them on social media, 8 months ago my current boss called me and offered me a job at his tattooshop and so i am now working at my dream job.
I've been tattooing for just over a year now. Struggling with soft shading. Getting the stipple shading fine but the softer shading and blends still not coming out great. Really enjoy your videos thanks man!
Hey man great videos. Ur always straight point on things. Ur videos have helped me on things more & I'm pretty sure helped others. I've been tattooing for a little over 1yr now since I finished my apprenticeship. So I'm still kinda fresh I guess u could say. My struggle is doing portraits. I've not been ballsy enough to tattoo them & that's good cause when I draw them I always manage to screw up somehow & someway. Being the shading or setting the eyes right or whatever. It sucks. I have 1 guy at the shop who always say portraits aren't for everyone. Everybody else keeps saying to work on it, keep trying, never give up, & they give me pointers & tips. I'm starting to sometimes believe the 1 guy though. Again ur videos are great man & I'll keep watching.
Dave thank you again for another review because of your review and usage of the CNC Q2 when you started out that dryer mChine I started to use ..🙏🏼
I have been tattooing since I was like 15 off and on but as a legitimate business for just over a year and moved my family my family of 5 children to a different city in order to start my own business and I'm almost 40. Also in my first year I was voted #1 best tattoo shop in Saskatoon by the community. My biggest problem I have is always having to remind myself to slow down and stay consistent. I love your videos and love how you don't get sucked into the shitty side of the industry and let your head blow up and stay humble. Thank you for what you do.
Hi there!! I’m just starting out as an artist, and have found your videos super helpful. I grew up with both parents having tattoos, but my dad was on the edgier side of life. We used to always chill and work on his Harley together. For the holidays, probably next year since I’m just starting, I really want to be able to give him a piece of art that he will love. My biggest struggle in tattooing is dealing with my mental state. There are days when I feel confident about my work, but other times I beat myself up over the smallest things. I’m working on it ☺️
I've been learning for two months now, I have only every used coil machine's which has been fun, my biggest struggle so far it color packing but then I have only tattooed on fake skins, I love ur content and the beard! Keep it up!
Been tattooing couple years still struggling on black and Grey shading but getting better thanks bro u help us "scratchers" alot
Been tattooing about a year or so and shading black smooth has been kind of a struggle for me. But I love your tutorials they are an incredible help and I thank you for that 😁 the adjustable stroke looks like it would be kind of handy. I run a Cheyenne sol nova unlimited and I have no complaints about it at all. But the stroke adjustment seems like an incredible option
Hey Dave,
Haven’t been on in a while, however still love your content. Been tattooing for about 6 years but have only tattooed myself and my wife. The struggle I have the most is needle choice. I tend to choose a little heavy on myself, as in a 9rl at least because I tend to go bold outline. However on my wife I have the tendency to choose a 3-5rl for lining and if I need to go bolder I’ll scumble to build it up. There is much in the way of needles in between and I have even used 9rs for some lettering on my wife because she wanted a good bold letter, and the single pass made it quick and easy. Thanks for your service and your help with tattooing!!
I was in prison and I got an electrician certification and hours to go with it. I would tattoo to get food and pass the time aswell. When I got out on parole the electrician papers were a joke. I was about one week until I went back to prison for not finding a job until I asked about tattooing my p.o. said as long as you make money .....so I went all in. Without ur videos I probably wouldn't have gotten way better and equipped. So thank u man sincerely. I still struggle with shading so I'm saving for a bishop Wand hopefully this year.
Wow Modey Thank you for sharing that as Im so happy to hear the channel could help you out and get you heading down the right path. I will keep you in my prayers my friend and I wish you all the luck in the world. Keep your head up and keep hustling you got this!!🤘🤘 Thanks for the support Modey!!🤘🙏
What up Brotha! Been tattooing 5years on and off. Biggest struggle for me is learning how to use this new I pad! My other struggle is managing my books ahh!!! but I love this life and could never see myself doing anything else. Keep up the good work homie
I got my first gun around 18 years ago and realized it definitely isn't as easy as thought.. i road the struggle bus for about 6 months and decided maybe a apprenticeship would help...... i found a willing retired stat trooper turned tattoo artist "with only one tattoo on his body" that was looking for a apprentice. He wanted $100 per two day class so i jumped in and forked over the little cash i had. Day one was cleaning and organizing his shop..... day two he talked about how I'm gonna learn and what each of his classes were about...??? So after paying him $100 for nothing i decided to figure it out myself. This was short lived. I just recently started again with the help of CZcams, thank you btw for posting all the instructional videos it helps a ton. My struggles would be holding depth and that is killing my consistency when lining it's definitely getting better with time but i am my worst critic. Thanks again for all the help.
I have been practicing tattooing on myself (running out of reachable space 😂) my boyfriend and fake skin for approx a little over a year. I have come leaps and bounds due to your tutorials and other references out there. Thank you for what you do! You are very humble and cool which people love. The FB tattoo group that I am part of recommends you often. With that said, I am using a Dragonhawk Mast Pen. It's ok. I have been drooling over other pens but you know...money. I'd say my biggest struggle right now is packing color. I have this Care Bear that I did that my kids make fun of. The outline was great. The color originally I thought was good but it all fell out in patches. My kids call it the blood bear as he looks like he was shaved and has patches of flesh. 😂 so I watched your shading tutorial again where you did the cross on your leg and then tackled the head of blood bear. It looks better still not 100% but I'm determined.
I’ve only been learning the art of tattooing these past couple of months. I have yet to brave real skin. My wife has volunteered as tribute though lol. I can sketch and draw with the utmost confidence, but I struggle the most making sure my lines stay consistent. Same pressure, pace, etc. I know that comes with time and continuous practice and that’s what I’m doing. Your videos have helped me not feel so overwhelmed with taking the arduous journey of tattooing. and I appreciate that a lot.
I've been tattooing for about 1yr n I learned everything from you, I did my apprenticeship with you lol.. thanks!! I got my first cnc machine because you suggested it, I'm having trouble with portrait. I would this machine I need a new upgrade
Ive been tattooing for 10years and i specialize in lettering and am currently getting into realism right now . i would love to win this beautiful machine . thank you for sharing this video .good luck to the person who wins this amazing machine
I’ve been learning at home from trial and error for about 6months…progress is slow but good!
Biggest struggle so far is the shading, on pen and paper i consider myself a good artist…translating that to skin….not so much! Like I said though…progress is slow, but getting better! Your new guides are a help for speeding up that progress, but time is honestly what I need more of!
Cheers!
To be honest i'm Just starting tattooing Like 2-3 months. I learn from a tattooer that gave me your Channel as my weekly Homework :D. Learning new Things everyday and i'm so greatfull that you are sharing your knowledge and even comit your own skin for our education. Thats so awesome!
I did some Tattoos on Fake skin an will soon Start tattooing myself. I struggle mostly With my linework but i improve from every time i work on it. Its nice to See the Progress :). Keep Up the good Work my man!
Ive been tattooing for 5 months and im struggling with shading from dark to light smoothly self learner and ur videos are my guide because here in belize we dont have tattoo school😔
Sweet a new video, may you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Keep up the awesome work
Great video man ! I’ve been tattooing for close to a year ! The struggle I’m having is that I don’t do many stippling pieces or have an opportunity to practice with it as much so !! Time to grind out some fake skins !! The machine looks great ! I’m currently using the q2 ! Love your videos man, always very helpful !!!check you on the next one !!!
Thanks for sharing Devin and I understand not having the opportunity to practice what you want to practice. But yeah fake skin is deff an option. Thanks for thw support Devin and Keep Rocking!🤘🙏
First of all. Hi
I really enjoy your videos and everything that you do. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us.
Started tattooing a couple of weeks ago (fake skin of course) and I'm still in the process of trying to make consistent lines ( depth, hand speed, machine speed...).
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us
I've been tattooing full time for almost 1yr I've done it off and on since I was 15 but never put the work in until this past yr my biggest struggle I'd have to say is time never have enough time I'm finishing tatts that shoukd take 3 hrs in 5hrs I don't like rushing but working on better time management thanks for the videos they been a huge help
I'm tattooing since 2015, and love what I do! But i want to get more into realism, and that's also my struggle. And with a nice machine like the CNC P6 I believe i can up my game by a lot!
Keep up the good work!
I've been tattooing about 20 months now. I struggle most with self confidence. Thanks for the videos.
Tattooing for over 10 years, started with coils and developed carpal tunnel. After 20 mins hand was dead so took a break, got surgery and let heal for two years. With the pens now it gives me a lighter smoother option, been struggling a bit with color packing with rotary. Have bishop liner and shader but feel something like this machine could give me a better stroke for packing at 4mm. Thanks for the vids man!
Hi, I'm still new to tattooing for 2 months, living in South Africa, your videos have helped a lot, and following all your videos, so I can get better. I'm struggling with dept still but love the shading. still working with an coil and tried the Pen a couple of times and the vibration on the pen is much less then the coil machine, my line work is also better with a pen then a coil.
Ive been tattooing for a few months now, and I definitely have to say time is the struggle here. I want to give my family of 5 the best me i possibly can, and tattooing is something they've always supported and pushed me to get into because they know ive always wanted to. My wife made a work area for me and the kids made me wall art to motivate me lol. Working a day job and then trying to put in a solid hour or two of practice a day is my daily goal. But again. Sometimes you just can't. I might get there slower than some. But i know along with this amazing community and family im a part of along with commitment and sacrifice I will get there.
I’ve been tattooing for about 5 months and it’s something I wanted to learn how to do for years and finally started and my biggest struggle is being consistent with needle depth
Hey dave again thanks for all the great videos love it . I have been looking in to tattooing about 18 months now mostly on fake skin and few friends. I would say there are lots of things I'm going to improve on as time goes by but for me getting out my own head with all my art I'm very hard on myself ie tell my self do better do better. I need to just chill and know iv got this it's what I love "ART "
I've been tattooing for a mere 1 month 🤣 Needless to say, I am OBSESSED with tattooing. The biggest struggle I'm having right now is nailing down my stipple/whip shading techniques.
Thank you for your knowledge! 🙏🔥
I've been at it for about 6 months now. My biggest struggle today is saturation. I can't quite get that colour or black in there and don't want to chew up the skin. Your videos are a huge help and your colour packing tips were a big assist. Just need more practice. Cheers!
I started a little more than 2 months ago. I am using a rotary machine which was given to me by a friend. I have never tried a pen style machine. My struggle is pulling lines. The rotary machine is quite heavy at the back end where the motor is. I also have trouble with shading with a mag at different angle because of the weight of the machine. The machine keeps trying to turn the angle of the needles on me. Your videos are so helpful. I learn a lot from them.
I've been a year and the most difficult is to finding the best stroke for what I've been doing especially for doing colour dark to light and yeah keep up with those videos to inspiring and motivating us 😀
Hey! love the videos and the info! you have helped me with a lot. I have been tattooing professionally for a year and the thing I struggle most with is the consistancy of shading. Getting the nice smooth blends with black ink. color for some reason i dont seem to have as many issues with.
Bruh you are the most helpful person on CZcams when it comes to tattoos 👊🏽
Been tattooing for over 10 years still struggling with certain colors
Started practicing about a month ago. Feeling confident in my setting up and taking down of everything. Still need to practice line work, but struggling most with color packing.
Been fun creating my own flash and overall have not slowed down at all. Only o king up momentum.
I see myself being well rounded with my abilities within about 6mo.
Thanks for sharing
I've been tattooing for about 5 months, on fake skin and in myself, all your videos are super helpful and couldn't appreciate you more. I'm struggling with shaky hands honestly, especially on myself. I take deep breathes before pulling a line, really helps. Would love to have a decent machine, I use the mast pen from amazon.
Ive been tattooing for 8 years last Wednesday was my anniversary. And I struggle with portraits and realism. But always willing to practice and learn
Thanks for another great review, I’ve been looking at adjustable stroke machines and I just bought one🤦🏼♀️ now I see this…if I buy one more pc of equipment my hubby gonna 💉☠️💩. Appreciate you sharing the info! ✌️
Just started. Been practicing on fake skin mostly. Just been trying to stay consistent with practice. Your vids have helped a lot tho, with getting the correct supplies and techniques down.
I've been tattooing for a little less than a year maybe 10 months or so just got my full technician license from my state 2 months ago, I really enjoy color neotraditional tattoos I feel very comfortable with different line weights and working with solid black and color, even packing and blending colors like white yellow and skintones, but sometimes when I tattoo some more black and gray realistic style without using opaque grays so only using solid black and gray washes I feel like the contrast isn't as good as it could be, so I'm not as happy with it as my other tattoos I do, I still think they look professional and everything but I also feel like they are not as dynamic as they could be, I really enjoy your videos by the way I feel like you helped me with things my mentors didn't touch on
I've been tattooing about 6 years and started getting into realism. Getting used to smoothly blending graywash is what I'm working on now.
Ive been tattooing for 3 years, my biggest struggle has been building my confidence to take on things that go outside my comfort zone and expanding my portfolio. Recently I've been doing just that and im already seeing im more capable than i thought i was and its improving my techniques along the way because im trying new things.
Ihey Dav, Im still a beginner. I did about 10 tattoos for the moment. I still not tried to do shading on realskin. For now i do lines and packing. But i'm pretty satisfied of my tattoos. I learned a lot from your channel
Hi, iv'e been tattooing for about three months now and I'd have to say my problem is depth. Sometimes I get it right and then sometimes I go too light. I guess its because I'm afraid of going too deep in the skin. But I have been using your videos and following alongside to know what to feel for and I can say that it has been working . Currently I own traditional coil machines which are a pain to set up sometimes. I greatly appreciate your videos as they have taught me most of what I know about tattooing. Good luck to everyone else. And please keep up the great vids.
