Um, what’s the equivalent to ‘speed stick’? Seeing as we don’t have this in the UK… =]

NEVER use deodorant unless you want to use a brand new stick every tattoo!! especially if you shave the area first!! you will pass blood born pathogens very easily if you use that stick on another person!! use Detol instead! will disinfect the skin and allow you to apply the stencil.

thanx for email your info was most appreciated .

Any deodorant will work, dont get the antiperspirant cuz that wont work at all; I havnt tried roll on stuff though but the most sterile way, like I said before, is Dettol. Its an antiseptic liquid disinfectant that you can probably find at your local pharmacy (London Drugs?
thats where I get mine here in BC). So ya, if you get Dettol, fold a paper towel twice and make a well in the center, pour some in the well then apply it liberally to the area that your putting the stencil on. Cheers.

he also apllyed the stencil wrong with his shakey ass hands lol….. and when he touched the inner bicept of the guy then rubbed the tattoo area he failed big time LOL that was pretty funny ..

Are you use the same speed stic every time?I think this is not higienist.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
draw something on regular paper n ink then do the same thing with the deodernt the gel deodernt works best for me
February 8th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Dettol works, too.

ok im looking on how to create the stencil… ive tried pretty much everything….i cant afford the proper stencil paper….any other ways i could make a stencil and sucessfully get it onto the skin?
February 8th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
wow… ive been tattooing since 95 and i dont think ive seen someone do the things this guy does….skip the deodorant… get a clean folded paper towel, spray it lightly with green soap.. not soaking just lightly, rub gently on place to add stencil then apply stencil…once on skin rub lightly with same paper towel and then remove stencil…tada!! safe,easy, sanitary and a perfect stencil… oh and i agree loose the wooden chairs…sheesh man…..

using porous wooden chairs – using the same filthy deodorant stick on every client, contaminating and cross contaminating on video – check out this nubs’ other videos – great way to learn what not to do
tattooing is not something you learn from watching videos – you learn by having a skilled and knowledgeable mentor teach you.

deodorant used right on this skin for every client – disgusting.
if you are going to use deodorant you put it on the paper towel, and use that , not right on the skin.

Cross contamination is not a “rash”!!! It is when you have a virus or bacteria on your hand for example and then you touch a can of soda. You just cross contaminated your soda by touching it with your infected hand. Cross Contamination is when we carry bacteria from one object to another object; from one object to a person; or from person to person.

I think it’s interesting that everyone is so afraid of getting and spreading “AIDS” (It’s actually HIV and not everyone who is HIV positive has AIDS) HIV is actually difficult to spread though tattooing but HEPATITIS on the other hand… Now that’s what ya’ll should be worried about. HIV dies almost instantly when exposed to air but Hepatitis can live for weeks. Also, you can buy throw away skin markers so that you don’t reuse your pens on your clients.

It’s funny when people complain about deodorant. If the artist free-hand draws with markers, it’s the same thing. He doesn’t buy a brand new marker set just for you =)

You can’t get aids from a friggin’ deodorant… That’s only through bodily fluids, mainly blood… but I dunno anyone stupid enough to rub HIV infected blood into an open sore or stick themselves with a used needle..
What people mean by “cross contamination” is nothing more but a simple rash… Everyone has bacteria living on their skin, different people have different traits that decide what bacterias thrive on ones epidermis.. thus why people have unique body odor. (bacteria + sweat)
February 9th, 2010 at 12:36 am
you dont contaminate people with aids like that idiot..you can only get it from mixing bobily fluids
February 9th, 2010 at 1:16 am
Stfu!!!
February 9th, 2010 at 1:48 am
so if he has aids would you rub that speed stick on ur own skin next??? I doubt it but ur still gonna put it on ur next victim! you should learn about cross contamination before rotting ppl with unsterilized information!

what does he do so wrong there?
are u tattoo artist?
why dont u make a better video if u do know this art?
February 9th, 2010 at 2:38 am
yeah. this video might seem good to a noraml person that has no knowledge in the industry. You wouldn’t be thanking him if you knew at all about tattooing, in this video alone I saw at least 2 cross contamination and overall around 6 mistakes and he hasn’t even started to tattoo yet!
