Thank you for all your videos. Recently, my partner bought an almost complete set of tattoo supplies to support my dream to become a tattooist (machine, cartridge, ink, power, fake skin, gloves, stencil etc.). But when the items arrived, I had a sudden moment of panic and felt like I could not do it at all. I felt that she has invested too much in me, and am terrified that I might let her down, or that I cannot do it after all, or I'm gonna suck. Not just suck, but like super suck. Anyway, I watched almost all of your videos because I truly felt as if you're teaching me, and hope to have the courage to pick up the machine one day. Thanks again, get well soon.
Thanks for your comment. Don't overthink it. You'll be absolutely fine. Remember nobody was good at something when they first tried. Thanks for watching!
Just do it! And try to be as calm as the dentist. Only first attempt may cause a bit of fear. Other attempts will be more and more confident. You can do it!
its fine to pull a line but you would need to change the angle..he is using the same angle for both he needs to reverse the angle for pulling and the line will come out fine
The only thing is, you had the cartridge facing the wrong way when pulling, which would affect the line quality. When I pull or push, the cartridge is always facing the direction that I’m going in.
it's literally like you've read my mind. whenever I have trouble with what to do when tattooing I always check your channel, and just the other day I was trying to find info on tattooing and direction but couldn't find any from u!
Thank you Jono! Aside from apprenticing, your tutorial videos are as well extremely helpful and has helped me excel on my journeys to becoming a professional Tattoo artist! Cheers!!!!

Hi! I just started apprenticing and noticed you are a left handed tattooed could you please do a video on how you grip your machine. My mentor is right handed and I’m struggling with finding the correct video.
Honestly I see these videos and everyone says something but then I watch all sorts of pros tattooing and some are pushing some are pulling and then most do both and even angle the needle. I've been trying to just keep a more upright needle and so far it's seems to be good. Really from what I found aswell is try to not go to deep for major blowouts and that should help a lot.
I've been tattooing 19yrs, just came across this channel & saw ur comment. As technical as tattooing is, it's still an art. And each artist, in time, masters their own stroke... meaning finding what works best for u. That's y u see pro's using both pull, push & sideways strokes when lining, at the end of the day it's about mastering the form in ur own way with the equipment ur using. If u have an apprenticeship, follow ur master's teachings, but also combine them with what feels right to u & gives u the best results. GL ✌🏽
Jono has sadly passed away. RIP Jono. I would recommend a Micky Sharpz coil machine, bear in mind that you'll need to learn how tune them. If you are a learner then I would use rotary tattoo machines.
I just cannot get my needles to not wobble when I use diamond tips instead of round tips. Have you got any advice on how to fix it? I use a coil machine, I've slightly bent the bar, used the right elastic bands, matching size of needle and tip. Even if I push the armature bar it shakes about back and forth, so crazy shaky when the machine is on!

Start before you're ready. It's much easier to learn everything on the go.
@@JonoSmithTattoo Thank you for your kind reply. I will remember.
@@gergelyjuhasz8654 Yes. Often, starting is very difficult. Thank you for your words.
Just do it!

Appreciate all the help!! You keep it informative and entertaining. Really are a hero to the community.
Thank you! & thanks for watching!

Thank you my friend 🎉
Such an amazing teacher! Thx for share your knowledge Jono.
Thank you! & thanks for watching!
You are the real MVP. Jono in the clutch
I just hold my needle sideways, that way u push/pull, perfect ink flow and can handle all weird angles. Problem solved.
Wym by sideways
@@333funkymunkylike on a 60-45 degree angle, it also helps when shading/ filling in or colour packing. at least for me :)
Thank you Jono!

that shirt is gas😹🔥
It is a great help thank you William Rhorer
Sometimes there are just some lines I have to pull because of a weird angle, and they seem to consistently hurt my clients more than pushed lines
I noticed i have more stability when I push instead of when I pull. Is that normal? Do we all just have different preferences?
Jono mate, where did you get the T-shirt from? I want one mate, it’s wicked👍👍

Your machine might be running too fast.
I like pulling
