Man I’ve learned a lot from this channel but THIS has to be my favorite. Tried it last night on my leg tattoo and it’s honestly become one of my favorite tattoos I have. Thanks guys!

[BossMovesOfficial]

Excited for this one! A sincere THANK YOU for helping me to grow as an artist brother 🙏 I have no tattoo artist in my life that can teach me these skills.

When I first learned how to stipple with pencil. I wondered how to do it with ink on skin. So thank you for sharing this video

[lukefisher]

First stippling tattoo i did was a practice copy of the one Nathan did live for the students of the accelerator program. The hand in the clouds.

First time watching a video by you. And thats the exact thing that, I was looking for. Because that style sparked my interest with tattoing. Definetely subscribing. Awesome work.

awesome mate, didnt you forget to talk about stroke? if you stipple with a 5mm stroke like a bishop liner, it's super easy to stipple, on a stroke below 4mm, i don't find stippleing as consistant. I find useing a 3rl is often too "big" a bugpin 3, is perfect for stipple!

So glad I watched this bro....video I watched b3fore he said run on 9v and I was thinking whaaaat but I tried It on some fake was running line after line no pepper at all....watched you....set my gun to the lowest need for grey wash or anything isn't perfect pepper shade or whip thanks for the video

Loving the channel brother! Keep up the good work! I am really enjoying the content. The first piece I tried this on was a skull reasilsm and roses. Little harder than I thought. Lol

[KyWade-po]

So I haven't done a stipple piece and 2 dudes that I'm working on have been wanting some stipple work so Im going to do a piece on myself first to get the feel of it

I’m looking to tattoo realism pointillism. Could you explain the difference using a machine vs hand poke tool and whip shading vs dot work?

[crystalbourdon]

I first heard about this taking your course

[Leptitatelier]

Actually I love the "thicker" dots a lot, what size of liner did you use for this presentation?

[kavikcurtis]

Maybe it’s just more practice but I feel like I’ve tried every voltage with every hand speed using my Bishop Wand Liner and I’m not able to get dark dots on clients, I keep the skin tight. I typically us t-tech 3 tight rl, 10 gauge. But after I stipple an area and wipe away the ink the skin barely has any ink in it. It’s getting pretty frustrating.

[LykkeAndersson-ffsu]

My machine doesnt go lower than 6v. I tried it out with a 1201 rl. And think it works ok. Any thoughts?!

[TheSascha]

Nice Video. Can you tell me what machine you're using in this Video? Thanks for your help.

[alex]

Love your content!! The thing is that i am currently using the cheyenne hawk pen with the power unit and it does not go slower than 60 cps!! I tried it on fake skin but i do not get the same results as you do!! Any suggestions? Would the critical atomx work with my machine? Thank you 🙏

[CallofCain]

I dot. Have a stippling tattoo, but while I was doing a mentorship we had a lot of people coming in and asking for them, so I had to practice drawing it a lot, to the point I got tired of doing em 😂.

[ivanmendoza]

I use the hawk or Cheyenne sol Terra and in a pendulum whip motion...I get good conistent dots with the dan kubin sidewinder v3r at 4 volts aswell actually that's my go to dot machine right now I use direct drives and longer strokes homie
