Thank you!

My deepest gratitude for you and your content! Thank you for not " gatekeeping".

Hey Jono as someone who is just getting into tatooing l, I want to thank you for all the great info your videos provide. I feel like I will be confident enough soon to attempt giving myself a tatoo. Thank you again, you are a great teacher.

Really appreciate how much the quality of your videos has improved! Specially because you include so much quality information instead of just repeating the same generic info that is already out there, I just think the background music at the beginning was a little too loud and distracting, other than that I'm so happy to see how much your videos have improved! It's a great glow up

you are an absolute legend for providing us so much information.

Thank you so much man 💯 this is literally the best tutorial and channel

Mate the amount of depth you go into these videos is incredible I honestly feel like I'm going to tattoo university every time I watch them

Love this dudes videos since i started following his methods my tattoo work has inproved tremendously I'm still practicing on fake skin got 6 more months of practice then I'll start practicing on my leg, definitely recommended for bigginers

Just randomly found your videos and YES! thank you so much!! Incredibly helpful and intuitive. The tip about the amount of ink was super clarifying and very rare to find it explained. Keep up the good work! Cheers

Props to you! That’s a long time in the industry. I’m glad the channel can help him out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I’ve been tattooing 32 years and I’ve learned from you!!! So I haven’t heard you mention it, you may have but if you have excuse the redundancy and my ignorance. The question I have is should you line from the elbow or wrist? Or should the length of the lines determine this? That is …super short lines maneuver the machine with just bending fingers, shirt or medium length lines with wrist, and pull long lines from elbow? And even mix it up for Intricate long lines maybe? I’m just thinking deeper thanks to you, my tattooing has improved since I started using my elbow (pre consciously that is). I don’t even know how I did sobgood over the years but now I’m cognitive of this fact the continuity of solid color in my work has improved so thank you!!! Im humble man you never stop learning, the day I wake up thinking know everything there is to know about tattooing is the day I’ll quit!!!

Just starting im a decent free hand sketch artist mainly Western themed and DC comics heros and there emblems I'm trying to just tattoo myself with all my favorite superheroes insignias or emblem i have confidence i can do it but all the confidence in the world does t make up for experience and training i will try to send my first tat once its done but i really learned a lot from just 3bof your videos thank you for taking the time to help me expand my knowledge your an amazing artist

very imformative, some issues here ive always wondered, and its not like there are many willing to share so freely!!

Not trying to be an ass, I still listen back to my stuff & cringe all the time from it being way outta tune, hahaha. Hope all is well, thanks again, take it easy...

How to know at what voltage it is running 120 -130 cps??

How many bolts do you do in lining and shading?

Thanx (:

I just had to laugh really hard when the right side showed the exact machine I'm holding right now as a bad example. :D Thanks for the insanely good and thoughtful help, it really is a game changer for me. I have only tattooed some fake skins and am looking for a pen under 400$ that seems decent for absolute beginners. I would like to focus on good and solid line work first, no colors - I don't need one for customers. :) Any ideas? The more videos and recommendations I see, the more confusion in the tattoo machine jungle.

Im pretty sure you've got too much needle hanging out the tip. Try reducing your needle depth slightly by turning your grip anti clockwise (if you're using a pen style machine). This should solve your issue. Let me know if you sort it. Thanks for watching!

Hey if you don’t ask you don’t know. So on a digital power supply (assuming you’re using a coil machine) the number of Hertz is the CPS your machine is running at. For example, 100 Hertz is 100 CPS. Thanks for watching!

i love you videos ! its the best.... BUT ! i have a question about the tattoo you did at the end! you say to keep a 90 degree angle, but in the video when you make the lines, it looks like you are holding at a 50 - 60 degree angle which you say is bad and can cut the skin, is it the video that makes it look like that or is it me, who misunderstand the whole with 90 degrees ?! sry for my bad eng!

@JonoSmithTattoo

When filming these videos I have to angle the machine more so the camera view isn’t blocked. This is why the angle looks more exaggerated. If I hold it at 90 then all you can see is the top of the machine. Well spotted! Thanks for watching!

I love the cartoon illustrations. They add a lighthearted humorous tone. A surprising number of tattoo artists take themselves so deadly seriously that it's comical. But also quite obnoxious. Like they're some kind of superior Chosen One, and you are a lowly and common vulgar clod, unworthy of receiving The Holy Writ which only they posess. That's not helpful. This actually teaches you something real in a fun way. Which is a whole lot better than being looked down upon. And he can shred on that guitar pretty good! 😄

@JonoSmithTattoo

The cycles per second (the speed your needle is moving) is the number you should be looking at when running a machine. The amount of volts added to the machine have a direct impact on your CPS. My other videos explain how to work out your CPS from the volts. Thanks for watching!

Tip: make a vid explaining how to start every tattoo like low voltages and the least of needle depth so new people figure out the right settings before fucking up. I did a very small tattoo on someone’s ankle and I started with a to high voltage and went too deep for the first cm. Rest of the tattoo is ok but still too high voltage.
