How I Shade A Tattoo?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Have you ever asked yourself "Where does the shading go" or "How Do I Shade A Tattoo"?
In this video I walk you through my approach and thought process in which I take to achieve a desired result. This entire video is real time so you can be with me every step of the way upon shading this tattoo.
In this video we will be going over the entire process REAL TIME from start to finish, outlining the design, and where I apply the shading and why.
When I shade a tattoo it has to make sense. What that means is I have to know why I am putting the shading where ever I am putting it and it has to have some sense to it. I found for me personally it is super easy to make the tattoo go flat and lose it's dimension and or form. This is where sense and practicality come into play for me upon shading. Often times less is more.
PLEASE NOTE: I want to point out that this is not a tutorial on how to properly shade a tattoo, or how to shade, or the correct way to go about shading. This video is sharing my approach and thought process behind shading and why I put the shading where I do. This is not by any means the only way to approach shading, so take what you want and leave what you don't.
I will list the timestamps below for you so you can easily navigate to a section you want to watch or re-watch.

For this tattoo I used my trusty and the new CNC P6 Tattoo Machine along with a Quelle 12-03RL needle cartridge. I prefer to use a 3RL for shading as I can be precise with where I put the ink.

Let just say I’ve never sat and watched a whole 2 hour KZread video thank you I learned alot
Just before you apologized for ranting, I actually started tearing up a little because of your words and how passionate you are about tattooing. It's true, individual style is just so beautiful. You don't get a lot of artist letting people know that there is no truly correct preference in shading, it almost takes a weight off of learning, as I am entering the part of were I'm taking this stage of tattooing to the next level on my path. I'll be looking to see if you have a blending video for color too!! Thank you for sharing the knowledge. Passing on the power lol

I've only been in the tattoo game for 2 years learning on my own and watching videos on KZread and this one specifically was one of the best ones so far I appreciate your info , and patience , keep up the great work man definitely helped me implement some different techniques on my work , awesome work bro 🤝👍👍👍💯💯🔥🔥
Bro thank you so much for this. My stipple and cross hatching has gotten way better because of your in depth videos. And I a have a better understanding of where and where not to shade things. Much love and thanks brother
I am a brand new tattooer and I haven't felt comfortable with shading until I seen this video.. thank you 🙏🏻❤️
I do hope you realise just how much you help folk. I myself have already learned so much from you and I cant thank you enough. You make it so much easier to grasp. I cant wait to watch Lila grow into a tattooing Legend like her Dad ❤

This is super relaxing to watch and yhe way you speak makes it easy to watch the video with the audio on. I really dont even get on you tube very much becausei find it overwhelming but, audio is A1. I own a studio. The other artist's in my shop are Body tattooers and while I also do Body tattoos about 40% of the time (mostly flash and traditional body work) I actually specialize in permanent makeup which is the complete opposite spectrum ... My main movement for lips and brows is this whipshading/stipiling technique. This is literally one of the most satisfying videos I've ever watched. This makes me want to try this kind of style and shading more often on body tattoos... I've only watched a handful of your videos but I could watch this again and again. 🙏💎
I had my 12 year old son watch this with me and you made him see tattooing in a different way. Very nice out come bro

That is something that I am still trying to learn and understand. The patience that goes into tattooing is a skillset on it's own. Thank you for your feedback and support Kiesh! I appreciate you.
Nice! A follow up to the lining piece! Thanks bro 🖤👍
Awesome tutorial man, your like Bob Ross of tattooing. I really love stipple shading and this tutorial is brilliant. Thanks Daniel 👍👊🤘
Your videos are awesome very well articulated in a technical way yet simple enough for any ink virgin to understand good work brother. To add a note. For shading consider the direction of the light source. If u shade a face, put a flash light on ur chin and where ever the shadows are that is where u would shade
True clinic on "stippling".. appreciate it brother!!
I'm here in Brazil watching you man, thanks
Thanks for the knowledge. I hope to be able to pass on the skill to someone in my future. Blessings.
I don’t even tat but you definitely a blessing bruh.. stay humble keep working 💯

Hi Daniel. Your explained is very good. Which firma procreate notebook can I cheeper buy. THANK YOU.
First off thank you amazing videos with lots of good material, What type of synthetic skin are you using?
awesome video! thank you for making this! :D
Bro the thickness of the lines In the lining which needle did you use?keep the good work
Your voice is so therapeutic
I always see you doing black & grey on practice skins. Is that because color doesn't look right? I just started 2 months ago & I notice black and grey looks good, but colors always seem to run together. Also, not the same as in the bottle. Even with a drop of pink in white, it still looks red. Just wondering if you've experienced this? Thanks, appreciate the content.
Thank you for Teaching me your Skills 🙏🏽🇲🇽
Dude thank you soooo much for your videos !
Well done, very helpful.
Hi there. Brand new to tattooing and just been watching tutorial videos. Just a quick question..On some videos they say about not working over the same area loads as it can damage the skin and mess up the tattoo etc. It looks like do loads of passes on the shading I noticed. Would this not damage the skin or is it ok to do loads of passes in this situation because its a fine/small needle attachment? cheers
Hi ya m8, did you do the lining with a 4 stoke on that tat and with that machine. Excellent really good vids bud 🇬🇧👍
Looks great! Are you using a long taper?
Really want to start this.
Muy buen video, completo como deben ser los tutoriales.
Hola, buenísimo tu vídeo ...pero a qué voltage estás trabajando?
How do u close ink bottles to prevent from pouring out
can i ask you about what needle should use if i want tatto a scar with my same skin colour to hide it
Not sure if my machine needs tuning? I use a pen style tattoo machine. And I can’t ever see the needle gong back into the cartridge ever ? And I see yours doing that clearly even when I put it at a low voltage
AMAIZING !
Hi, where can I get the reference design from the video ?

I'm finding when I try the whipping, instead of making defined and clear dots, it's just making a very faded broken line. I've tried low and high voltage but doesn't seem to take on my fake skin, any ideas??
Great video!!!!
wouldn't going over the skin that much tear it up? I'm trying to learn to tattoo and would love to know!
What liner did you do the outline?
What kind of skin are you using ? I’ve been trying to find some good quality to match the feel of tattooing on real skin
Would love to see a video on how to pack black with Round liners, I've yet to see any KZread videos showing accurately how to do it.

Ive done it in very small places yes but in my experience in doing so i basically use the technique this guy was using only in all directions (basically cross hatch in a full circle) until its solid. You just want to be careful obviously and dont tear up the skin. If you accomplish that it heals good. Ive done it on myself
Do you have to hit the dermis when shading too ?
