This is it, brother man. I don't skip your adds either and I like the videos. This is dope as hell.

[BrittanyRaeHof]

I love the color videos, I want to specialize in color and these are so great! Thank you

[virgilthewolf]

These are great and your teaching approach is extremely easy to understand and adapt to my own tattooing thanks

Would love to see a video about your thoughts on battery grips like the Peak Forge or Inkclaw Phoenix. They're a cool idea, but a lot of artists have concerns about sterilization, would love to know your thoughts on them

One of my biggest fears in doing this is tearing up the skin from going over top of the shading or another darker color and over working it

Hey Brandon, I know you used the bishop, but was wondering if you could recommend a disposable grip for the inkjecta flite nano you used to use. Having a rough time finding good disposables for it or even adjustable disposable ones.
Loved the video as always and look forward to the next each time!! Cheers!

Like i was taught...a color piece is first a completed black n grey piece. Create depth and tattoo longevity...

[florenciajerez]

Do you wait for the shading first to heal or you just continue right away with the color after it? and for example black and blue, cleaning needle is enough or you change needle?

[ItsLucy]

At 4:58, you mentioned to never do dark colors first. I thought that dark colors always go in first, and then the light ones. Is it incorrect?

[Garcia_tattoo_studio]

What fake skin was this you are using and where can i order it from?
