Tattoo Artist Bogus Reveals His Black & Grey Drop System

In this vlog-style interview, Bogus breaks down his full black & grey process — from hand stenciling (no iPad) to his exact drop system, needle setups, machine preferences, and why saturation and tone matter more than copying references. He talks about: Why he still stencils by hand The one-drop blending technique he learned from old school artists Switching needles mid-session and why it matters Cheyenne vs Bishop machines Why most modern black & grey looks the same How graffiti and getting raided led him into tattooing Bogus also opens up about his past — growing up in Whittier and Pico Rivera, being deep into graffiti culture, getting into trouble, and how that path ultimately led him to becoming a respected tattoo artist. This isn’t a polished sit-down interview — it’s real shop energy, real technique talk, and real stories. If you’re a tattoo artist, apprentice, or just into black & grey tattooing, this one’s packed with game. 🔔 Subscribe to Blazted Network for more real conversations with tattoo artists. 📲 Follow Bogus: (bogus_tattoo) 📍 Shot in-shop in Southern California #TattooArtist #BlackAndGreyTattoo #TattooVlog #BlaztedNetwork #TattooInterview #TattooLife #TattooCulture
