So, After getting in the main shapes like I did in the first sitting I like to then go in and put in my blacks and darkest shades. Pushing the contrast right off of the bat helps me figure out where im going for the rest of the sitting. If you start out with doing your lightest areas you run the risk of going too dark with them then the whole tattoo will end up too dark and muddy. So always blacks and your darkest tones first.
For as much of the tattoo as possible I use the 27 curved mag. Reason being is it will be easier for me to get smoother gradients. You can do this with a smaller mag but I find it easier with the larger needle groupings. And it’s also fun looking at the clients face when they see you pull the larger groupings out.
As always, making sure that the skin is stretched properly is also very important when trying to get smooth shades into the skin. If the skin is too loose your needle will hit certain areas harder than others and will make things look really choppy. Having the skin tight will help the needle hit constantly everywhere you put it.
There are a few different motions I make when doing grey shading it just depends on what part of the tattoo im on. You will see me make all of these motions throughout this video multiple times over the same spot. This is because im building up the tone to what I want it to be. Getting the tone you want as quickly as possible is important in tattooing so you don’t damage the skin, but you will get to know how many times you are able to go over the same spot without causing damage with experience.
The first one I use is a shoveling or whipping motion, I’ll enter the skin against a hard edge at the proper depth and whip out quickly. As I’m whipping my hand pressure decreases to get a fading effect. Don’t use this unless you are trying to get a hard edge effect because thats what you will get.
Next ill use a back and forth sweeping motion. This is when I want to get a smooth shade or transition. When I’m entering and exiting the skin I am basically moving like a landing and taking off airplane. There should be no definite start and stop to your shade when you are using this method. It should be very smooth. Im basically feathering in and out of the skin.
And the last motion ill use is a dragging motion, I’ll use this also against a hard edge. Basically the same as the whipping motion but you are moving slower. You are still still decreasing in hand pressure as you are approaching the area you want to fade out to a lighter shade. I’ll use this when there is a larger area off of an edge that is just a smooth gradient. It isn’t necessary to use. Its interchangeable with the first 2 methods of hand movement. Just depends on how I’m feeling.
Cross hatching your shading patterns will make things look smoother. If you are shading under a rose pedal and shading out in one direction you could get it smooth.. but going back in to build up that tone from the opposite direction will smooth things out even more. You will see me changing the direction I’m shading a lot throughout this video and that is why!
Over all what I focus on with black and grey is contrast, texture and smoothness. It takes practice but once you get the hang of it it comes second nature!
