Intro
Levgen, a Ukrainian tattoo artist in Los Angeles, now shares his expertise globally through workshops and live streams. Since 2007, he has participated in over 100 tattoo conventions worldwide, including Hong Kong and Paris. A few years ago he decided to share his experience with tattoo artists and start to provide workshops, seminars and master classes, part of which he did live online.
Recently, he has focused on using YoloLiv’s streaming solutions to connect with fellow artists and engage viewers. Through live demonstrations, he showcases his tattooing process while answering questions from a global audience.
Why You Came to YoloBox
Before finding YoloBox, Levgen’s setup was complicated and hard to manage. He used the Blackmagic ATEM Mini, OBS Studio, and a MacBook Pro for his live streams. Although powerful, this setup was a logistical headache that made going live stressful. With many devices and programs to handle, he often faced technical issues and frustration.
Therefore, Levgen needed a simpler way to stream his tattoo sessions. He first bought the YoloBox Pro and later upgraded to the YoloBox Ultra. The all-in-one design and easy interface made his work much easier, letting him focus on his art instead of tech problems. Now, Levgen can easily stream on YouTube and TikTok, sharing his passion with viewers around the world.
Setup Overview
Levgen expertly manages his live streaming setup independently, utilizing YoloBox to streamline the entire process. His configuration varies based on the complexity of the stream, allowing him to adapt to different scenarios effortlessly.
Camera Selection
Levgen employs a versatile range of cameras to capture his tattooing sessions. For simpler setups, he uses the YoloBox Ultra paired with a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for mobility and ease of use. When he requires more advanced capabilities, he switches to a combination of the Sony a7C with a Sigma 24-70 lens, the Sony FX30 with a 15-50 lens, and the Sony a74 with a 40mm lens. This multi-camera approach enables him to showcase various angles and details of his work, enhancing viewer engagement.
Audio
For audio, Levgen relies on a Zoom H6 recorder, coupled with an Audio-Technica AT2020 condenser microphone for crisp, professional sound quality. He also uses a DJI Mic 2 as a wireless backup, ensuring that he can move freely while maintaining high audio fidelity. This setup is crucial for effectively communicating with his audience.
Lighting Solutions
Levgen’s lighting setup is designed to ensure clear visibility during his streams. He uses an Aputure Amaran 200x light with an Amaran Dome Mini 2 for soft, even lighting. He also adds Godox light tubes for flexible and dynamic effects. This setup helps light the tattooing process without harsh shadows, showcasing his work beautifully.
