Hey, I'm bang bang and I'm gonna answer some tattoo questions on twitter, let's get started.

Do you reckon my tattoo artist will be mad at me?

If I have spots where I'm getting tattooed, will it make it difficult for her?

How do you get rid of acne on your body please?

Your tattooist, I hope won't be mad at you.

You can't help blemishes, but in some cases it can restrict what we can do and it can affect how it heals.

And if you get a tattoo where you don't have blemishes or acne and you develop it, it can actually push ink out.

This is certainly from a pimple or getting scratched.

See a dermatologist, see if you can take care of it and then get a tattoo whenever there's some question like that were like, see the doctor and see if we can take care of it from little ink stain.

There has to be a better way to practice tattoos besides fruit and just people.

My apprentice used to have to go to the butcher and pick up pig scraps and skin and tattoo it and she had to do it quick because we had to get it out of the store cause it's smelly, there are now like artificial body parts of silicones that you can tattoo on and fake skin?

That's really good for kind of getting your hand used to the weight of a tattoo machine drawing with something vibrating, keeping your depths consistent.

So just warming your hand up to using the Tool, you can't learn how to drive a car in a video game, like you have to get behind the car and drive.

So first off you should tattoo yourself when you're learning so you can feel what it is you're doing and yeah, I mean if you don't trust yourself enough to tattoo yourself, why should other people trust you?

Yeah, I did my little 14 left handed, I did my little number two.

What's the best way to do a stick and poke tattoo?

I've tried in the past and only gotten two dots that stayed.

Don't do that man, You don't know what you're doing, don't do it.

I don't know how to answer this question.

It's like how do I go get in a car accident like don't from mia.

Okay, but how do tattoo artists do shading?

There's a lot of variables that go into tattooing the needle densities, how they're laid out depth and pressure speed of our machine and then also how dilute The ink is.

So we use several different tones to make it happen and we kind of all blended together.

Let me show you how that's done when we're tattooing.

We use several different types of needles, different groupings, different sizes.

One that's most specific to shading is called a mag and it's very much like a brush.

This one is 15 needles and they're stacked on top of each other.

The technique is really to move that across the skin evenly consistently without damaging it.

We use individual grips each time that we tattoo.

And another interesting thing is they don't have to be.

These things can be made out of stainless steel and cleaned and reused in many states.

So it's really important to ask, We really recommend.

People always use brand new needles every time.

What I'm doing right now is not necessarily like solid line.

I'm trying to kind of brush in with my liner, make sure I keep that realism because things that are realistic, don't have hard lines all around them.

So I have to make sure I just put the contrast just where it goes to make sure it still looks realistic.

There's all different kinds of like how sharp it's tapered, there's different bluntness is and different sharpness is of the needles, different groupings and how close they are together the different gauges are, how thick each needle is when tattooing started, there was no companies making tattoo needles.

So the grouping is specific to the artist.

So as I'm shading, I can dilute my inks of water and I can also move my hand a bit faster to change that tone.

I can use darker inks and get this area completely to black if I need to, can I use a sweeping motion.

So it has to be in the skin the same depth and time in the forward motion as the backward motion.

That's how you can kind of create one tone of pigment over a really large plane is move your hand the exact same way for several hours in a row.

My tattoo is starting to peel and a piece of completely black skin just came off of it in the shower.

It's not skin that came off its dried plasma or you know, your scab, your body is regenerating and you have seven layers of skin.

We're putting ink in between the 3rd and 4th layer.

If it's done successfully, you will shed your top layer.

How do you fit a skull, rainbow and a black rose on one tattoo.

It's really like the balance you need to find in any design that will make it timeless.

You can piece together as long as you can make sense of it, you know when you're old and gray, you're still gonna have your skull, black, rose and rainbow tattoo.

So first I'll pull the client's body part into Photoshop and then organically laying each image on to see which ones, you know, gonna kind of be the dominant image and which ones are gonna be backgrounds.

I want to work with the client to make sure they feel comfortable in the design and people are going to just understand when I tell them what I'm gonna do.

I want to give them a visual representation of it.

Almost every larger tattoo I make, I will work in Photoshop with people, not everything that I try I like.

So, if we want to do any really fine detailed stuff will do all that by hand really close.

If I want to add any motion to that, that's all.

Something that I can add just with some of my smudge tools and we can carry some of that background to fit the body part.

And this is all something that I wouldn't necessarily map for myself before I tattoo it.

But it's something that helps clients get an idea of what I'm going for on their skin.

So now we're really close, I can just put a filter on these that will make it look like a finished tattoo and then I'm gonna pull that rose just in front of that rainbow and I think that's gonna do it right in that rose up a little bit and there you go, there's a rose and a rainbow and a skull.

It doesn't always work, but I think it's pretty cool.

So holla tattoo myth or fact color ink hurts more than black ink.

Certain techniques hurt more than other techniques.

Sometimes color needs more effort from the artist, skin needs to get beat up a little bit more for that color to put as much pigment in your skin as possible.

If a pigment is thicker, it's going to take longer and be a little tougher to get into your skin.

So different colors have different consistencies through different companies and brands that make them white hurts because we're drilling it, we're trying to get as much in there as possible tattoos at the insanely itchy stage.

Can't decide if best technique is blowing, tapping itching around it or distraction through alcohol.

If you itch it, you can force off scabs or affect it.
