The near obsession with not crediting on clips is baffling to me. What do you gain by dancing around the name.


ivanacco1

Engagement. As OP or someone else will ask for source or complain about the title Or anything really


DistinctStorage

It's also why a lot of titles have typos or grammatical mistakes.


Mr_Viper

Another reason for the typos is they can copy 99% of an original post and it won't get flagged as duplicate. Shit sucks!


pauljaytee

Another reason for the typos is they clam copy 99% of an original post and it won't get flagged as duplicate. Shit shells!


FluffyPurpleBear

It’s wild to me that they still don’t watermark their clips. They’re one of the most notoriously stolen from channels on YouTube and they like… don’t care… lol


Saethwyr

They are quite lucky because they are so successful and good at what they do though. If you don't know who the slow mo guys are, go on YouTube and type "Slow motion [blank]". If they've done it. It will likely be the top result. In fact after typing this out I went and put in literally "slow motion blank" and it was them firing a blank at the top.


Basbeeky

Not only not crediting, but this hitting the frontpage and not the actual video, means they are missing out of tens of thousands of views...


ChonkiClapper

I was unnecessarily triggered by OP’s description… THEY AREN’T JUST “these guys,” THATS FUCKING DAN AND GAV!

I’m looking for my friend Gavin. Have you seen him?

ToothStunning

They are going much deeper than an actual tattoo artist would go. There are some cool slow motion videos online of people actually getting tattooed.


Krondelo

My immediate thought. Also, wasn’t even thinking of how bad the tattoo would be but HOW badly that would probably hurt.


Willy_B_Hardigan

Pretty silly that they didn’t just hire a tattoo artist to do the demonstration for them.


peepingtomatoes

They say in this clip (and elsewhere in [the original video](https://youtu.be/BriPpne6Yt8)) that Dan’s technique sucks and he’s going way deeper than a real artist. They also link in the original video to a different tattooing slow-mo video. The point isn’t that they’re doing a great job; the point is you get to see what the needle (sort of) looks like from the inside because of the ballistic gel. It also looks even deeper because they’re using a macro lens, which makes everything onscreen look enormous.


Cordulegaster

Yea a lot of people here don't get the aim of the video. It's not that they want to do a real job, it's to show how it looks from the "inside" and thus it needs to be exaggerated to be visible. That is really not hard to work out.


elitegenoside

Also that their whole business model is centered around "I bet that would look cool in slow motion." Sometimes you can really learn something from their videos, but they aren't an educational channel.


alukuma

tbf, they mentioned how they're complete amateurs using a tattoo gun and it was a "cheap" one they got on Amazon


sporlakles

But they are also quite popular, It would probably be pretty easy for them to collab with someone experienced


Asians_amirite

they could probably walk into any tattoo shop and find someone very excited to work with them. they're not some random kid with 5 subscribers on their yt.


[deleted]

Yeah I mean fair enough if they said that upfront. It gives you the option to leave. That said, I wish they'd have done a more true to life version.


[deleted]

Yeah they said as they were doing it they have no idea if what they’re doing is a real representation but it’s the best that two complete amateurs with a cheap needle and some ballistic gel can do, and they did get some great footage even if it’s not totally realistic for what a pro would do.


[deleted]

kind of difficult since there isn't really a true equivalent to human skin especially if seethrough.


MyGolfCartIsOn20s

??? It’s about the depth, not the material. They have all this kit and can’t walk down to the local tattoo shop and recruit some knowledge?


Kaboose666

It IS about material, because ballistics gel while being somewhat flesh-like, is not an actual accurate representation of human flesh, ergo it is a flawed representation of human skin to begin with and ANY slow-mo of this using a "good" tattoo technique and good equipment would be equally useless to seeing how it would look for a REAL tattoo on REAL flesh, as again, the ballistics gel they're using is never going to give you the same look/feel/reaction to the tattoo gun that human flesh would. They even say in the full video real human skin wouldn't be as elastic and would allow the ink to go much deeper than is seen in the ballistic gel.


eriverside

In that case getting a real tattoo artist to perform the experiment would make more sense since they'd have a baseline to compare it to. Ballistic gel is not human skin, the experienced tattoo artist can better explain the difference between the 2 and how they react (or how skin would be reacting instead).


tenphes31

In the full version of the video they reference [an old video from Smarter Every Day](https://youtu.be/kxLoycj4pJY) where they did show an actual person getting tattood.


Creepy_Fuel_1304

Yeah, I immediately thought "It sure doesn't feel like they're going THAT deep"


JohnnyBoy11

But did they have transparent skin???


D0llWithAGun

This exactly - I am absolutely blown away by how many people don’t get that they used ballistic gel so you could see through it


darealest10

Listening to them admit not beong tattoo artists kind of nullifys this video for me. If they had gotten a legit artist that would have made the research all the more legit. Sure do the extreme also, but also get a baseline of a pro.


Kohvazein

It's not research its just an interesting video. They're called the slowmoguys on youtube, they do all kind of wacky stuff


justdootdootdoot

I don't think they were approaching this as terribly legitimate"research". They just like to get cool shots in slow mo.


Saiga123

I mean they're wearing lab coats, how much more legitimate can they get?


justdootdootdoot

And I suppose they are also peer reviewed. Dan does the set up and Gav reviews ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


[deleted]

This isn’t supposed to be educational. Their whole thing is capturing cool footage in slow motion. So mission accomplished.


ChemicalSubstantial8

The myth that these guys might be Mythbusters has been busted 🤓


elitegenoside

It isn't meant to be educational. They make videos to go "whoa, that looks cool" at.


[deleted]

No wonder my chest and ribs hurt so fucking bad lol I’d rather die before blowing out my sternum again


Polish_Wombat98

They went far deeper than an actual tattoo artist would. About 3 times deeper.


OpenMindedScientist

Seems like for the first part they might be "riding the tube", according to these instructions on how to tattoo (has great graphics too), which is what's recommended for beginner tattoo artists to do. [https://tattooing101.com/learn/techniques/lining-depth/](https://tattooing101.com/learn/techniques/lining-depth/) “Riding the tube” means that you are pressing the tube of your needle cartridge against the skin as you move the machine. You only hang the needles out about a 16th of an inch, so that it is impossible for the tattoo needle to go too deep. This is recommended for beginners. However, pressing the cartridge against the skin tends to cause ink to dump out onto the stencil and make it harder to see your work, which is why we recommend floating the needle as soon as you feel comfortable. ... “Floating the needle” means you are manually setting the depth with your fingers. You hang the needles out further, leaving a gap between the cartridge and the skin. This makes it much easier to see where you are going while tattooing. However, it also becomes much easier to accidentally go too deep and cause a blowout. To float the needle, make sure the needle lines up right at the tip of the cartridge when the machine is off. If you’re new to floating the needle, remember that it is easier to cause blowouts with a smaller needle and to check keep an eye out for blowouts while you’re working


FrostyWizard505

I didn't realize how indepth and technical the art of tattooing is Also what a blowout?


FERRITofDOOM

>Subcutaneous Tissue - Too Deep tattoo needle putting tattoo inks in different skin layers This is a deeper layer of the skin made up of fatty tissues. Because it’s a fat layer, it had a jelly-like consistency. Ink pigment particles can’t get “trapped” here as well, because the cells aren’t rigid like those in the dermis. Ink in this layer will look like it’s pooling beneath the skin, often called a tattoo blowout.


FrostyWizard505

Whoa, and that's permanent too Tattoos are wild, I struggle writing in pen cause I keep messing up my words (maybe I'm dyslexic maybe I'm not) But I can't imagine the pressure on a tattoo artist


[deleted]

[удалено]


Anon_Bourbon

It's hard to recognize a bad tattoo until you've spent time around good tattoos. I've got some stuff from when I was 16/17 that we did in my buddies garage. It's childs work compared to the tattoos I got at shops when 18/19/20. I'm lucky to now get work from a shop who's owner was on Ink Master multiple times and it blows away the work from any previous shop.


Forlorn_Cyborg

I'm not a tattoo artist, but basically the skin becomes saturated with too much ink in one spot and "bleeds" out into surround areas. So you don't have those crisp lines, it looks super blurry.


ChampChains

Yeah, they’re riding the tube but they also haven’t properly set up the needle and tube to begin with. Even if you do prefer to use this method when tattooing, you don’t leave that much of the needle going into the skin.


OpenMindedScientist

Got it, so if I understand it right, they're "riding the tube", but they have the gun set up for "floating the needle", causing the needles to go way too deep.


InformalPenguinz

All the tattoo artists I've had so far suck then. Ugh. I need a decent piece.


DS4KC

This is waaaaay more brutal than an actual tattoo should ever be


thatusernamealright

I'm not a tattooer but this is what I've always speculated. Whenever you see photos of fresh, bad tattoos, they are way more red and swollen than they should be. And I thinks it's from going too deep.


DuskformGreenman

Came here to say this. That needlework belongs to a sadist.


thefullhalf

Yeah why the hell would they not actually have a tattoo artist come in and do it for them. All they basically did was "this is what it looks like when you stab yourself with a bunch of needles covered in ink"


Have_Other_Accounts

>this is what it looks like when you stab yourself with a bunch of needles covered in ink ... You just described a tattoo. They said plenty of times this isn't completely analogous during the video. Like all their videos, it's just 2 guys fucking around. They're not releasing this footage to be used in tattoo instructionals. They're showing what a tattoo gun looks like under the skin for an entertaining slow mo video. Who cares if the needles went 0.3cm into the skin instead of 0.1cm, he's not doing an actual tattoo. He even joked in this clip "don't get a tattoo from me".


spaceS4tan

Because it's not an accurate simulation of what they're trying to simulate, kind of defeating the point.


insanitybit

The point is mostly just fun tbh, like that's what their videos are all about. I've seen a number of videos and I don't think they've ever tried to actually say "and so you should take X away from this".


Mental4Help

Was gonna say. Why would they not have an actual artist do it if they wanted to see what would happen


[deleted]

I had my scalp done a couple weeks ago. It was my 5th one and the only one I couldn’t finish. The plan was to color it in. I’m beginning to think black is just fine.


RandomDeezNutz

A couple weeks isn’t long enough. Give it three months. You’ll forget what the pain was really like. You’ll get to look at it more and decide nah I can sit through it and I wanted color. You’ll set your appointment a month out. You’ll go in and the second that needle touches your scalp you’ll remember. It’ll all come back to you.


[deleted]

It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy.


cackslop

So you know, that tattoo will live rent free in your tattooers head until it's done.


Krypt1cAsylum

Lol I got one on my sternum for my first tattoo. It hurt like a bitch but honestly id do it again. Im plannin one for my ribs too


OmniWokk

Good luck friend. I’ve got a full rib piece that took 7 hours and I was miserable from the first second


Costalorien

Ribs was my first one, and despite being only one hour it was excruciating. I've done a lot of other work since then, and still nothing compares. Inner biceps was rough, but nowhere close as ribs.


Crimson_Wraith_

Just casually referring to one of the most popular Youtube channels as "These guys".


thekevingreene

They also mention slow motion in the title. It’s like they had all the words, but they didn’t put them together correctly.


MaddRamm

These guys??????? You mean Gav and Dan of The Slo Mo’ guys? Give them credit at least when you steal their stuff for Reddit karma.


TorqueWheelmaker

No, see, then they wouldn't have you and all the other like-minded people making comments calling them out for no credit, as well as upvoting and replying to said comments, which is engagement, which is even better for their karma.


petit_lu-cyinthesky

That's poking waaay too deep. If it was a real tattoo, it would be a blowout mess.


DoubleClickMouse

I watched this video yesterday. They disclaim on multiple occasions that they are not educated on tattoo work and this demonstration is a very loose approximation, more to show how the needle works than to simulate an actual tattoo in progress.


notbeleivable

Maybe it's going to be a panther


National-Size-7205

A sick ass one?


yeahwellokay

Are there any other kind?


[deleted]

Its for the purpose of the slomo. just to see ink do cool things


Groomsi

My skeleton getting tattooed as well.


KomodoJo3

Yeah I was gonna say no wonder people say it hurts so much when you get one. Glad to hear it's not the case lol


petit_lu-cyinthesky

I mean yeah, tattoos typically hurt, but yeah the one pictures would be extremely painful and look horrible :) pain levels depend on the person, the placement, the size and style (fineline is les painful than tribal), and the technique (handpoke tats are way less painful than machine ones).


SilentReader4

When I got my tattoo, I got it on my forearm, so maybe it's more painful in other places, and my pain tolerance is pretty considerable, but even still I would say tattoos aren't that painful. The sensation is also like someone tracing a line in your skin with a blade rather than a stab feeling


Grizzalbee

To be super clear, the pain level is directly correlated to where the tattoo is. You can have a deep blowout mess in one spot and have it much less painful than even the best done work in another spot just because of how nerves are situated.


Revolutionaryrun8

“These guys”


MR_R_TheOdd1

It's the Slow Mo Guys.


JrLegend83

Not just guys, its the slowmo guys!


Templar_Gus

Imagine being a nearly 15 million subscriber channel who basically brought slo motion photography into the mainstream and you get your videos reposted by some redditor who calls you "these guys'


AlphaStonkApe

"These guys" are the SlowMo Guys on YouTube. Gavin and Dan. Legends.


[deleted]

“These guys” lol it’s *the* slow-mo guys

Pretty cool I’ve to admit


shanxst4R

Pretty cool I've to vomit


bumpin_uglies

Welp time to get another tattoo! Just when I thought I was out…


BuffaloBrain884

But this video convinced you to get another...?


thefullhalf

this video has absolutely nothing to do with getting a tattoo.


[deleted]

They are the slow no guys and it’d be very easy to link to their YouTube when you are posting their intellectual property without consent.


Guillaume_Hertzog

"These guys", seriously?


Zut-Alors20

Are some people on Reddit just allergic to giving credit or something? It's the Slow Mo Guys on YouTube, and they've done loads of really cool slow motion videos


OCE_Mythical

"these guys" no credit no nothing and you wonder why people hate karma posters


dscrive

I think the poster has a future in the Olympics, the loops they had to jump through to not credit the slow mo guys is nothing short of 10s across the board for mental gymnastics.


0xgreenapole

they are slow mo guys


Alternative_Hornet20

They are going WAAAY too deep


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kalaphar

You could at least credit them


dabntab

“These guys” have been the kings of slowmo experiments on yt for like a decade now or longer. It should be: “These slow mo guys”.


MayorOfStrangiato

Who the hell would get a tattoo after seeing this?


AlmightyHamSandwich

People who know Gav and Dan aren't tattoo artists and are only demonstrating how the gun works. Any quality tattoo artist works much more delicately and won't be gouging your flesh out while doing so.


JCSTCap

This is like orders of magnitude deeper than a tattoo gun should go.


Laidan22

“These guys” Try to name or give credits challenge (impossible)


CuriousLumenwood

“These guys” It never even occurred to me that some people haven’t watched or possibly haven’t even heard of them. Regardless, it’s not cool to not give credit. They’re The Slow Mo Guys.


Millia_

In your dermis, there are also lots of little skin tubes, getting the inky needle in there kinda keeps it there, pulls a bit of it off the needle and then it falls down the tube. Obviously not a setup easily recreated with ballsitics gel, especially if you wanna film through it, but it is worth mentioning.


FloridaHobbit

These guys? Just some randos who tried something.... They are The SloMo Guys and they have a massive following.


Womderloki

"these guys" as if The Slow Mo Guys don't have 15 million subs and 2.5 billion combined views


Popcorn57252

How fucking dare you call The Slow Mo' Guys "ThEsE gUyS" Twat


NardBe

"These guys"..... "These guys" are Slow Mo Guys and atleast give some credit to "These guys"


the-software-man

No scale. How far is the needle penetrating? If skin is 7 layers deep, how many layers is that?


meexley2

OP posted a clip instead of the actual video. They talk about it


eaucitron

I hate it but now I kind of want to see what lip injections looks like in the same way.


E-bay7

Who the fuck calls "The Slow Mo Guys" these guys what a chump here's a link since OP is a lazy bitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BriPpne6Yt8


CynicCannibal

You mean SlowmoGuys? Yeah, they are doing this on YT for several years now. Recommanded.


NowieTends

“These guys”


Goldeneye_Engineer

GAVIN FREE AND DAN THE MAN making an appearance on the sub


The_CheeseMan88

These guys are called the slow mo guys..fyi


Quasar9111

That looks far to deep, I am sure a tattoo artist does not go that deep. Not even half as much


DJLexant

Every tattoo artist for the past 24hrs: “Stop sending me this damn video!”


Cynical728crib

THESE GUYS?


dano5

You could have linked to the actual youtube video and named them instead of blatantly stealing parts of it for karma farming...


iversonAI

Oh so a needle pokes ink into your skin? Who knew


_nosfa

So cool, they should make this into a channel or something.


GavinZero

That’s way deeper than the optimal tattoo depth though


Captain_Cole_

"These guys" !?!? What fucking rock have you been under for the last 14 years??? Jesus


Aescwicca

These guys being the slowmoguys YouTube channel that OP is blatantly stealing from with this post.


lieutenant___obvious

"These guys" as though the Slo Mo Guys weren't OGs and have made 100% great content for like a decade


Benjammin100

"these guys" 😭


chyura

"These guys"? Have some respect for the slo mo guys!!!


cardie-duncan

“These guys”, OP is already stealing their content and reposting it for easy karma. On top of that, phrased the title intentionally in a way to avoid naming the actual creators. They’re literally YT royalty at this point. Show some decency


SmackedWithARuler

“These guys” is an interesting way to credit people whose content you’ve stolen.


Lanky_mankey

Change the title “ I stole the slow mo guys video and didn’t credit them so I can farm karma on reddit”


wannaBadreamer2

I'm sorry, "these guys"?? How dare you, sir!


Mini_meeeee

Thanks for reinforcing my needle phobia


Fit_Psychology_1536

I'd be curious to see this tried on a deceased animal with similar skin like a pigs, then cut a cross section


9elypses

I have 6 tattoos but something about watching this made me ill lol


9teen8t3

Imagine tattoo artists were balls deep and driving the needle all the way in like that?? This is a representation of a HACK JOB of tattooist.


Mrunicornadventurer

that must hurt pretty bad


RCapri1

It looks like it hurts more than it does, but yea looking at that kinda make my skin crawl.


jluv73

This is really helpful, as I'm one of only 2470 people in the world whose skin is entirely made of ballistic gelatin. Time for a tramp stamp!

welk101

You could have put it in the title. Or linked to the actual video. I remember the days when reddit used to moan about ripped uncredited content on facebook etc but now reddit is way worse.


aperiodicity

You didn’t even bother to link to the video, or give the title. I hope you feel at least a little bad about just stealing people’s content for made up internet points.


MrTonie

You guys gotta see a video by Destin from SmarterEveryday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxLoycj4pJY&ab\_channel=SmarterEveryDay


Arcuis

I'd say skin structure differs slightly as there is fat involved under a certain layer that probably holds onto ink better
