How To Tattoo If You Can't Draw

I cant draw for shit but I can trace a pattern good

I have a question do you need to be able to draw on paper or can it just be digital?

Its like saying you can’t be a guitarist without reading music. Ridiculous thing to think or tell people.

How can I talk to you directly

Ur so pretty

How about pure digital art? I can easily use reference material, and use it to design tats. I'm better at using reference, adding to it and then painting or drawing it. Plus I only want to do script and anime. I don't need to be some genius artist to trace anime lol

I don’t have much of artistic bone in my body. However I’m really wanting to start tattooing fake skins as a hobby. I don’t foresee tattooing a human any time soon.

I came here looking to find out how frowned upon is taking someone else’s art and actually tattoo and charge someone, not just for practice, I’m at a point where I’m getting good at tattooing but only with stencils i make from other artist work, because I’m not so good at drawing realism or proportions. I try to tag the original artist, but i feel like I’ll be limited to tattooing realism from actual photographs if i want to make money and not take someone’s work. Not that it’s a bad thing. I’m mostly interested in tattooing black and realism.

Starting tomorrow. Not good at drawing, but getting all the sketches down and I'm good at all that and not too bad at shading, just not a good free hand drawer

How do you even become a tattoo artist if you can’t draw? I tattoo my fiancé & parents & I occasionally draw. My tattoo work is pretty good and the line work is as well. I’m just curious… because it’s my passion.

My issue is that I can draw pretty well, I just struggle to transfer my art skills into a way that can make tattoo designs to be able to tattoo. This is so helpful thank you so much ❤

I am a artist who can draw anything and everything and even I found out early on it's more to it than just knowing how to draw and I respect that you put it out there.

Love your tips and advice!

Thank u for dropping the ego about your first starting out man, gives me a push to keep drawing they look bad now but ill get better

I like art, mainly coloring. I can't draw too well so because I like coloring I usually trace stuff I wanna color and color it. I have tattoos, I recently been curious about your videos and I kinda am spontaneous so without thinking I bought a Dragonhawk wireless tattoo pen kit thingy then started buying everything I needed to tattoo but am too scared to start, lol I watch a lot of your videos and others believe me they help

I am practicing drawing as I have never drawn before. But I would like to know what is the best thing to practice drawing so it will make me be able to draw my own design?

I have been pacing the hallways of your learnings and I've learned and retained a lot.
I have even attached pen to machine. I have Equipment. I am prepared. I am a multi Facet Artist And I am ready to start. ....
But I Cannot draw on paper with a pen.. I hit pause to type this and hopefully I still like you after this one.

I need to learn more

Thank you

So in short, if you can't draw, learn it by any means necessary. You need to draw and know how to draw, before getting into tattooing, there are no shortcuts. Even tracing is considered drawing and that's where you learn the basics. You just took 4 minutes to explain the fact that you need to learn how to draw if you can't draw, which is kinda logical and ironic at the same time, love the gist of it though.

This is an honest video man. 👏 I hear you, and I appreciate your time making these videos. Keep doing your thang homie 🙏👌🤘🤙

As always great information. I’m surprised at how much you talk about actually applies to me.

Thank you for your videos. The information is very helpful.

I didn’t hate what u said but u gotta remember tattooing isn’t art it’s a skill set like a plumber or electrician weather ur good at drawing or not ur job is to be steady with a machine without messing up a 4 year old can trace a design in front of them you need to know the fundamentals and simple stuff and learn to tattoo not draw and practice years on how to do a line not no art we learned in pre k the simple drawling u don’t need to be an artist

And if I may ask, what wireless tattoo machine can I start off with? And a lime and shading machine that is skinny and not large in width? I have big hands but for lines and shading I would like to order a skinny wireless tattoo machine. If you can guide me in the right direction what to purchase. And what ink and needles I would need. Thanks man!

I just want to TY! Because I am just starting out tattooing. (Haven't done one yet). But I am really good with drawing graffiti, lettering, I have a really, really steady hand. And my shading is really good! . But as far as drawing certain things, and portraits. I am not that good at. But I truly believe I can be good at tattooing with stencils, tracing and doing the line work and shading. I just really appreciate you and your knowledge you are giving us. So TY sir!! Greatly appreciate it 🙏

practice* makes perfect

I know this is gonna be a dumb question, but what’s flash?

IM the type where i can draw soemthing i see perfectly but have a bad imagination and i really wanna do tattoos and don’t know what to do

Im type of person:When i see pictures,I can draw it and it looks very nice and people be like:Waaau you can draw very nice.
But on the other hand when someone tell me to draw for example some animal I cant do that(my head cant visualise pics in my head).
I really wanna start tattooing this year.
Can you tell me your opinion pleaseee?
Thanks,greetings from Slovakia😊

Sorry I am not agree . For me is important to know how to draw is a basic for tattooing. Withoout drawing look for somthing else. I saw alot of horror tattoos from no talented people

I love the classes the program offers. Well worth the money.

Thx Brandon for this information looking forward to your next video about freehand drawing and digital.
