@@BajaChick don't give up! I'm 31 too, and I started my apprenticeship 6 months ago, and its a dream come true, I'm just 4 tattoos in, but the honor of having someone ask for my drawings done on their body is an amazing and humbling experience. I had a lot of regrets about how I lived my life in my 20's, but I realized that I am much more capable of dedicating myself to learning now that I'm older and have had some life experience.

Sadly this line of a career is so hard to succeed !!! Instead of encouraging other trying to learn they put them dow. So thanks for putting this vid out there. Makes it easy for people like me to post vids and put our work out there. The way I see it , no one is born perfect there is always room to learn and grow.

This is phenomenal advice. I've been tattooing for almost 2 years now in a professional environment and everything he mentioned is very applicable. Don't sandbag, be friendly, appreciate your clientele, and most importantly love what you do. I was always taught that the money is secondary, what you earn should be a vehicle for your artistic advancement. If your goal is to achieve material success, get a degree more suited to your needs.

Mad respect for this. I've been watching for a while, and I JUST started tattooing as an apprentice at a shop. I often catch myself thinking about a few videos you put out, machine quality, line practice, etc. I just gotta say, I completely agree with the insight you proposed. Keep on putting out information, and I'll keep listening. Many thanks man!

Dude you’re a real one 🙏🏻 if some tattoo shops would take on this mentality that you’re laying out it would be a better environment and better for the customer side of things. But things are evolving and it’s getting there slowly

This is dope. Thank you so much for sharing. I can really feel your passion through your words. I like how some of these rules aren't just applicable to tattooing but to life. That's how you know that shit real. 👏✨

this just made my day after having another breakdown on how hard is to make it out in this industry, mostly when you're hardworking you attract all kinds of people trying to lower your self esteem or intentionally hinder your progress. not to mention the rockstar attitudes and the overall hatered. watching your video and hearing people having the right mentality gives me hope. all the best!

Welcome back , those machines looking nice homey, glad you been doing ok 💯

This is straight up the BEST advice for tattooers. More power to you Johnny! Keep it up

Well said. Thank you for sharing this. This was really helpful to me being a novice tattoo artist. These four rules make a lot of sense and I will definitely not forget this. Love watching your videos. I can tell you are genuine, a decent dude and a very talented artist. Much respect..

Man, quality info and advice! Been watching your videos for a while and you are undeniably talented and informed on the industry and being a tattooer. I love how you ended the video too! Thanks for sharing ❤️

Thanks for all your videos, it was a gamechanger for me when i started tattooing! Hope you are doing well so far, cheers😎👍

Thanks homie for this great advice ,much love to you and your family.

Bro love your content. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and I refer as many people, who are serious about learning the art, to your videos. 🙏🔥 💯

Amazing. Thank you so much. You are so inspiring and have really helped me on my tattooing journey. looking forward to more vids!

Thank you so much for making those videos!

I’ve been pursuing my career as a tattoo artist for almost a year now and lately I had gotten to this point where I felt like I was failing, like I wasn’t going to ever make my dream job into a reality but seeing this video has really given me belief in myself again and the kick up my a** I needed. Thanks Johnny, you keep doing what you do man!

Great content as always, so much of what you've said is applicable to any profession.

I just bought my first tattoo kit. I'm still learning how to operate my gun, but I have chosen to do so by watching YOUR videos. They're genuinely inspiring & I had a lump in my throat by the end of this one. I HAVE TO STOP GIVING A FUCK ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF MY CHOICE YOU DO THIS! Thank you. You'll be hearing from me again soon, as the questions arise...but, for the most part, I COMMEND you on your style & the way you present. This shows me that it doesn't matter whether or not you LOOK like a tattoo artist. You could look like you're mother Theresa & bust out a coil gun! What I've learned..."BE REAL, STAY REAL. THAT'S what the fuck is up!" Thank you.😊

Thank you so much for the advice! My clients often tell me that they felt like they are having a spa day, or having a relaxed session with a therapist, or both :). Who would have thought that my urge to make people feel comfortable would be so benificial for business... It is their special day, you have to respect that always and do your very best.

Glad to see you back

Great talk , you have given exactly what we needed to hear much Respect for your advice.

Dude I know your struggling with health problems, but it's great to hear from you again. Iv been following you since the start. Sending some love and respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☺

I’m completely brand new to this trade and I’m still taking my first steps into this field but thank you for your video, I haven’t really even come into contact with other artists yet but I still see myself comparing my brand new skills to artist that have been practicing for 20+ years. You a smart guy and I can tell you truly got kindness in your heart.

Big props Johnny, you’ve given me a lot of good ideas and information for myself through these videos. Keep it up!

Love you man. It is so great what you do. I don't have to tell you scew the haters because you know it. All I can say is that never stop what you do because ypu really help ppl to progress and keep going. Big thanks!!!

Thank you so much Johnny, you're channeling gave me a really good sense of direction in the tattoo world. Kinda like laying out a map and showing what is where so I can decide where to travel in this journey.

Awesome advice, my man. If only more people in the industry thought like you, I feel the world would be a better place. I've been tattooing for 10 years now and I still feel like I have a ways to go and I'm always trying to perfect my craft. I'm going to own my own shop one day. Some of the stuff you said, I already do, but some of it you gave me new perspective. Thanks for the video!

You are just the best... Keep it up, RESPECT ❤

On point, thank you for keeping it real!!!!!! 🙏🙇 my Tattoo Soul is relieved and it's inspires me to focus on the craft!

Hey man I started my apprentiship recently and your page on here was highly recommended to me by the person I'm learning from. I just wanted to say how you approach marketing down to the way you put customers and the creating value first I agree dude. Thanks for giving some actual non bs advice to aspiring artists trying to break into the industry the right way. I'll be checking out the rest of your uploads thanks man.

Wise words. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

💯 words of wisdom. Much respect, keep it up

I'm glad I found this today, thank you for this content.

Thank you so much. I started 4 Month ago and I compaired myself so many times to all this other newcomers, but, well, I have 4 kids, one baby, and every little time I have, I practice. I try as much as I can. I dream of tattooing, think about it, nearly every minute. Never felt like this about something I do, so yes, I have to learn. Learn to concentrate on me, on my work and how I can improve.

Good to see you back Johnny!

Thanks for this good advice! I will remember these for sure!

Inspired me so much that made me shed a tear, keep doing you

Absolutely first class information Johnny keep it up and don't forget all your unknown apprentices cheers

I appreciate all your help, as well as, all you've had to endure to get to this point. It definitely is tough to shine with the amount of competivness that lies around. At least, here where I live. Where people don't value art like an artist and are not willing to pay "outrageous" prices for fine art.(My wife and I have thought of relocating to help this and other situations). It's a major let down to have put so much work in, while in my hometown, only to get shafted by several would be customers who only want things their way. That being said, I've long realized that I don't enjoy tattooing for the money and I've always believed that that was my problem. You definitely shed light upon the importance of staying true to myself and letting go of all the negativity that can cloud a creative mind. Thanks for being genuine. Keep up the great hustle!✌🏼️

You just gotta try to make the tattoo look great, when the customer is happy you did an awesome job you'll feel a lot better about having to do a piece that's kind of common or not very original.

FANTASTIC ADVICE

You are the best men. One of the respected tattoo artist a know. Thanks for that tips

Beautiful video and beautiful sharing of peace of mind ,, word up man

The comment about making your clients feel valued is so true. I once went to one of the best tattoo artists I have been to but he was such a jerk to me and really disrespectful. If I had been made to feel welcome and not been spoken to like rubbish, I would have come back - FOR SURE. He's so talented but my experience was over shadowed by his attitude I am sorry to say.

customers will pay more for a less skilled artist with great customer service because the experience of the tattoo is PART of what you are paying for. No one likes having to pay money just to be verbally abused or treated like trash!

Right now I only practice on myself and fruits, but def a dream to do an apprenticeship. hope to move to a part time job that i can do an apprenticeship at the same time with. i love handpoke and i practice with machines on myself but i hope to become an apprentice and learn machines better soon. i need practice practice practice. your videos are amazing and really make me feel like it could be in my grasp! thank you for being so informative and a real one!! thank you so much for being professional and encouraging everyone to be the same.

Well, welcome back!

Thank you for talking bout stuff like that!!! I feel like a lot of tattooer dont want to talk aboute stuff like that because it seems a little like everyone could do it then. I think maybe like you said its a lack of trusting in themselves and just doing your 'thing'!!!

100% true. Ppl have bad mouthed me and my work and my business(not tattooing) and I’ve gotten estimates and customers out of others mentioning me lmao. Great vid glad your putting out vids again it’s been a while thanks for the help

Not gonna lie. This got pretty deep at the end lol. Well said. Good honest game from a passionate artist.

Such a good word bro

Needed to hear the last piece of advice on not caring what other artists think. Thank you.

Sir Gault, how do you feel about rotary pens?? Have u used them instead of the typical coil machines?

Been watching for awhile and really like some of your vids.... selling to anyone and everyone is kinda iffy but atleast if someone is willing to put in the time to search they can get decent tools so there is something to be said for that. We just opened a shop and started doing some timelapses and things. would be cool if you checked it out and gave some comments and feedback....this was one of your better vids. keep it up dude.

What would be a decent not overly priced tattoo gun or kit to get started with?
