I’m an apprentice right now, and this is exactly the way I needed this information explained to me. I’ve struggled pulling clean lines on my first few tattoos, but I’m confident in getting to put all these elements together going forward.
Good luck! And thanks for watching.
Heya, would love another apprentice to chat with. I’m @lindsay_harts on Instagram x
-assumptions- about somebodys mentor or why they were watching this video makes you seem dumb and definitely douchey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
get a life bud
stop being mean to strangers on the internet and try being nice to your friends or family in person instead. it's much more validating
Same..tattooed my mentor today and he basically told me chill out, slow down and it went so much better..gave me loads of advice and by the end using his advice and this vids advice my lines improved 10x
I don't plan on being a tattoo artist, just wanted to do my own tattoos, but the knowledge I get from your videos can make me go pro. 💕
I’ve been tattooing for 5 years now and that’s the exact process I’ve been going through nice video 👌
Edward Melendez thanks for the great feedback & for watching!
Edward Melendez same here definitely a nice video
I am starting out and been tattoing for about a year but all self taught or thru videos as I am 17. Would you be kind enough to add my insta or somein and give me some tips?
I want a tatto
@@lizperez3566 is that right ?
Just a quick word to say that your video improved dramatically the way I tattoo in just a few days. I was not using the right angle and the right amount of ink in the cartridge, and your video rellay changed everything. Thank you so much bro
Man I love how you explain things. I mean you even do it in sections which is clean and solid, and it’s much appreciated bud. 👍🏽🤙🏽
Outlawz53 thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it and thanks for watching!
Fade to Black, A genius name for a tattoo parlor!
bro, this is one of the best instructional videos on some of the more subtle nuances involved in tattooing. I took a break from tattooing for 5 years and getting back into it, with videos like these, is very cool. cheers bro!
I am so glad I watched this, I found a couple things I have been doing wrong. Thank you so much for your videos!
Im gonna actually print it and have it on my wall against my eyes at all times.
Thank you again Jono.
One of the best channel about tattooing for begginers like me. It took a while for me to find you but I'm here now and I'm going to stay!
Welcome to the channel!
Same, I just did my second tattoo and am SUPER EXITED, I just found this channel to. And I can wait to apply this to my tattoos.
The best in depth tattoo lessons on RUclips. I've gained so much information and education watching your vids. I instantly subscribed after watching one tutorial. Your tutorials basically saved me a tonne of money which was going to cost me a ridiculous amount of fees for a one week tattoo course. Thank you Bro and keep up the amazing work.
Liberal Freedom thanks for the awesome comment!
Man I'm so glad your back! You have the gift of spirit and humility and I appreciate your approach and all the knowledge you share 🙏 Much Respect

Aspiring tattoo artist, tripped over your lessons after watching some time laps tattoo videos. Love your stuff, liked and subscribed.
Demon Saya thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the channel!
This is amazing I’ve always been interested in how tattoos are put together and what makes a good tattoo. Or how to define if the tattoo is good by looking at it . This really breaks down at how to look a tattoo differently
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Thank you for all the work you put into these videos I used too tattoo when I was in my twenties using coil machines I wanted to come back to re learn using the pen style machines and decided to start from the basics again and you have helped me gain fresh knowledge and educated me on the pen style machines so thank you
Hi Jono great video you explained everything the way I was taught good on you for taking the time to show this to beginners in a way that everybody can understand!! 👍👍
I’ve been practicing tattooing for a few months now and I gotta say, your videos are a blast! I’m mostly working on my lines and shading and I’m definitely getting better! (I don’t plan to go professional so obviously getting an apprenticeship isn’t happening, so I’m trying to learn on my own).
Glad they’re helping you out. Thanks for watching!
I love you man, your videos are clear and no bs, I'm learning lots, thank you!
Thanks for the awesome comment and thanks for watching!
I honestly think you couldn't do a better job relaying each and every concept with a in depth explanation. Thanks Jono
Thank you for the awesome comment!
Great video with links to more great videos. Thanks Jonooo ❗️
Rozzy The Goddess thanks for watching!
your videos are a great help, very thankful to you for these series jono!
Thanks for watching!
Another excellent video mate thanks for all the understandable explanations
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
I ve just watched a few of your videos and the way you explain and break down the knowledge makes you hands down the most informative tattoo person to go to on RUclips. Others dont nearly explain as well as you do. I can really picture some of my old struggles I used to have when you are explaining this, especially the loading up too much ink and making a mess and rubbing half your stencil off after. Those were the days. Excellent content Jono!
Thank you I really appreciate that!
@@JonoSmithTattoo Nahh bro. We appreciate people like YOU for sharing your knowledge. It means so much for people like myself who are self learning and trying to constantly get better. Greetings from HongKong! :)
@@wtlcw1oo8 Thank you! 🇭🇰
Best tattooing explanation channel on RUclips! Great Job Jono
Laliga thank you!
Your a very underrated RUclipsr brother, love your videos thankyou for your wisdom on tattooing
Thanks for the awesome comment!
Thanks for the easy to understand instructions...🙏🏿💯🧐
I didn't have a mentor now
I've watched most of you rvideos , I learn so much through your tutorial
Thank you so much
Can you make a video about how to design & stencil a arm band tattoo ?
Cz I'm still struggle about it , I watched
like 2or 3 video related with armband tattoo , but I'm still not really understand how to make a perfect armband tattoo 🤦🤦
Draw that bad boy on there,,,,stencils hardly ever line up but take the extra time to marker/stencil pen the band on and you and your client keep checking to make sure proportions are correct
Very nice explanation, with demontratration !
It helps!!
Really great channel, so useful and clear, keep it up!
Thanks!
Thanks Jono,was having a little trouble pulling a nice line on first pass. I think I can chalk it up to incorrect depth. When I'm in the dermis there is a little difference in how the machine is running. Can't really explain it, guess ya just gotta know. You helped me narrow it down
You’re doing such a good job bruv all ur videos are tops
Thank you!
Thanks for all your input
Well I have a cheap machine but it sounds consistent. My lines seem okay but I just dont pull them straight all the time. I dont focus on 2 points and dont always stretch so Im gonna need to focus on that for now. I believe my depth is actually okay. Havent tattooed real skin so its okay to be bad for now lol
Connecting the dots and stretching will immediately help, especially once you are working on real skin. Practice various sized curves, too. Making smooth circles and bends was hard for me.
Wow. Fantastic video. Thank you.
I appreciate the help
Bless you bro.. This is very helpful
Luisjorjo Diaz thanks for watching!
Thank u for your advice in this video
Look easy being a tattoo artist....... It takes long time, and perseverance to be a good one!!!!!!!!! Nice vid, good info!!!
Thank you for honestly sharing sir... Keep it up bro...
Pure knowledge 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻❤️
Awesome clean note
Please do a video where you review tattoos of different styles and break down the tattoo lines . Like where good lines are . Like how to define if it is good or not . If that makes sense
Good channel bud well detailed and well explained about risk and hazards..is there a session on your method of loading and judging ink required .keep making vids bud
Thank you very much for the Crystal clear information. I really appreciate it. That’s awesome!! Could you kindly provide what needle and how much power have you used in the demonstration video, please? Thanks again and greetings from Manchester.
Good info thank you
Looking forward to the needle depth video, more importantly how to know/feel your at the right depth
This video is finally in the making! Thanks for watching.
@@JonoSmithTattoo Just a reminder to link that very helpful needle depth video!
So good man
Very excellent explanation
A little trick with avoiding the ink spraying out is simply a quick dab onto your paper towel before you start a line
You always explain things so perfectly!
I do have a question, I have a Bishop Wand Liner and i’m trying to find a good wireless power supply for it, any ideas?
iAmHoney I’m not overly familiar with wireless supplies to be honest. There does seem to be a big shift towards them lately so I’ll check a few out and let you know. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your channel, Jono!
Thanks for watching!
Thank You my Master!
Agreed with others 100%. I've just began tattooing. Jono you explain things so well that I can understand while listening and can put this understanding into action! Ill.post pictures later of my first pieces as I do them. Wish me luck.
Great advice. Valuable info
Thanks for watching!
Awesome advice Jono, I do struggle with my line work, I'm ok with shading 👍👍👍👍
Twisted Tattoo thanks!
@@JonoSmithTattoo I do struggle a bit with my line work
Twisted Tattoo it’s just a matter of practice makes perfect. If you apply these 6 rules everytime, eventually your lines should start improving.
@@JonoSmithTattoo thanks mate 👍
this is my 3rd video i watched from u, deffo have to subscribe now :)
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
@@JonoSmithTattoo keep it up big bro. love the content!
Thanks for the video bro
great video..... thanks
Bob Woodhams thanks for watching!
THANKS alot Jono I'm just starting out on this tattoo thing 😉 & by far your my fav! 👊🏻 I had a question about isopropanol in tattoo ink??? Is there a danger for the health?? What's that EXACTLY can you explain for us please? 🥰
Personally I never mix alcohol into ink. If you want to dilute it use distilled water. As for the amount already in ink I’m pretty sure it’s safe if you use a reputable brand as they do vigorous laboratory testing before it get put to sale. Thanks for watching!
Thank you 🙏🏾 really appreciate it
Great video buddy
Ramos crafts thank you!
Thankyou, it was helpfull, big thumbsup
Thanks for watching!
I think you should also explain to people how everybody skin is different usually when I tattoo I take about two minutes in a small area to do some lines and mess with the depth of my needle because everybody skin is different and that also goes for different parts of the body as well. I definitely like the video and keep it up bro you seem like a good guy
Tatt Ben thanks for the comment! Yeah you’ve got some good points there. I actually cover a lot of these in another video on ‘How to read the skin’. Thanks for watching!
Jono Smith nice I’ll check it out
your content is very good tho!!!!
Thank a lot of for clearly explaining
Thanks for watching!
Nice man
Thanks for the videos! Btw you sound just like Keith Lemon 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I actually only live 30 miles from his hometown 🤣
Thanks 🙌
great job man!! love your videos! hey what about the angle of the needle /machine when pulling a line? I checked all these off before I found out about the angle of your machine.
Personally I think it’s best to have the needle enter the skin as close to 90 degrees as possible but other will say they prefer 45 degree angle. It’s just finding out what best works for you. Thanks for watching!
@@JonoSmithTattoo by 90 degree angle you mean straight up and down ?
@@Greybuiltracing sorry yes that’s what I meant.
Thanks Jono!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks you ❤️
Bro thanks so much
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
Osm bro..
Rudra Mehra thanks!
Hey Jono. Love your videos mate! Question. So I’ve been using a Cheyenne Thunder and I love it, but it kind of sucks at lining. It’s rare that I get a clean one pass line. Shading and packing it’s phenomenal, and everything I’ve read it is suppose to be the same lining wise, but mine just isn’t. I have two of them and they are both the same. I’ve tried different voltages, different needle lengths, speeds of hand movements, even different inks. Any suggestions?? Thanx bud. Hope you and the family are well.
Tony that’s unusual because the Thunder is actually dressed up as a liner and is supposed to excel at this. It could be a number of things but assuming your technique is right it could just be a simple matter of it’s just not the right machine for you and maybe you need something with a bit more punch and less give to suit your particular tattoo style. This is the thing about tattooing, it’s not ‘one size fits all’ which is why you get some people raving about machines saying they’re amazing and others saying they’re no good. So maybe this machine just isn’t for you when it comes to lining. I don’t know if you’ve ever used the Stingray X2 by Inkmachines but that machine packs a serious punch backed up with serious power too. So maybe give one of those some consideration next time you buy a machine. These can also be converted to take cartridges pretty easily too. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@JonoSmithTattoo Yeah I completely agree with that assessment. I appreciate the quick response brother. Thank u!!
What about the angle which you hold the machine ?
jano im having a hard time finding the correct information , you say in this video you use vaseline to help make cleaning the ink off easier however I can only find info saying not to use it, im a self tattooer with no plans for tattooing others ever , so when im working on myself im over wiping and spraying to remove ink , I used baby wipes I felt they were too wet ,tried jojoba ointment also but not great , should I be using a very thin layer of vaseline ??? and from the current market can you recommend good coil machine brands to buy from that you would buy from. I have had issues trying direct drive rotaries and your vids have given me the info I think I need to use a coil effectively .
Question, I've heard many time to keep the needle at a 45° angle, hard to really tell your angle, was it at 45 or more? Thanks, enjoying your videos!
Ramon Viada Jr. In an ideal world the needle would be bolt upright with no angle at all. The only reason people put it at a slight angle is because 1: it’s slightly comfier and 2: it makes the visibility of your workspace a bit more accessible. Some people I’ve heard say it ‘needs’ to go in at an angle but in my opinion this is just not the case.
@@JonoSmithTattoo cool, thanks for clarifying that. 👍🏼
I just started learning and my lines look way better the more upright I approach. Do you have any videos that discuss coping with/recovering from people moving?
Hey, i will try your tips at my next tattoo,.,
I was wondering what happened to the skinn at 14:11, same thing happened to me two days ago, seems like some ink wento into some capillars.
Vivian Jeremias Dengler A blowout will sometimes occur regardless of skill level. As you tattoo more you'll notice sometimes it is out of your control. But commonly occurs when the needle will penetrate a little too deep, some areas let's say the client has stretch marks this can happen quite easily. Just have to be very weary, and careful depending on the area you are tattooing. Shoulder blade areas / underarms / inside thighs/ fingers. Very sensitive areas.
In the tattoo at the end are you using a 1009RL?
When your stretching the skin does it matter which direction you spread it? For instance do you stretch parallel with the line your working on is going? Or perpendicular to the direction of your line?
how many cycles per second? thats the key to the hand movement man... thanks for the tip
oh and the stroke for the machine... im using coil machine so that would be nice to know also
Faby Castillo I usually run at around 120 cps for lining. This machine has a 3.5mm stroke. I’ve done a review on it, you can find the video in my videos called ‘Mustang Vader Tattoo Machine Review’.
Thanks for watching!
@@JonoSmithTattoo thanks man!
Nice review. What voltage are u using during the demonstration?
Nick Susuki 9 volts. Thanks for watching!
Jono Smith thanks to u for answering!
Be careful about voltage. Power supply and machine variations can make YOUR voltage slightly different. I have a lining machine that runs hella smooth and sweet at 7.56 volt and another liner that runs at 9.2 volts. Gotta listen to sound check the feel and see the volts. You want it to him not chop while running. Don't even get started on rotaries or pens, voltage is a whole different animal now
I didnt see the machine name, is this a rotary? And great video btw
AmStopANation I’m pretty sure the machine I used in this video was the Mustang Vader. If you search my videos there’s a full review on this machine. It’s a pen style tattoo machine. Thanks for watching!
So if you have to stretch wit the 2 fingers and the tattoo hand how do yo slide your hand and stretch the skin
Soo basically if I wanted steps... 1. Quality Equipment. 2. Needle Depth. 3. Stretch. 4. correctly loaded. 5. From A to B. 6. Machine Speed /
Hand speed. ?
Thanks man! Have you used any of the new pens from DragonHawk? The have a new line of Shuttle, Mast Tour, and Mast Tour Pro that have been really making artists surprised. I've looked at the specs on them and they are similar to FK Irons and Cheyenne.
Christopher Rushing I’ve not seen these but I’ll keep an eye out for them. Thanks for watching!
I was going to ask this too- I'm an apprentice, and have 5 tattoos under my belt now. I've been using a dragonhawk because I'm dirt broke. My mentor has been surprised by the quality of the kit. However I'm concerned that it may just burn out, and I've never heard any objective reviews about their products.
I have the mast pen (the Japanese motor one) it's running great so far and I have has it for about 4 months :)
Hey, what did you mean when you said you “blast the machine” after dipping your needle in to the ink?
I mean give it a burst of power. Run it for a second.
You turn your machine off before you get more ink every time ?
Hi, i have a question. Is it possibly to make nise thin, bur solid lines useing the smallest needles in diameter - nr 3 ? Sometimes i feell with this size needles is impossible to make one good pass
Yes absolutely it’s possible, though it’s a lot harder to do a solid one pass line with a small needle like a 3rl compared a bigger needle like a 9rl. Thanks for watching!
Would you say the dragon hawk tattoo pen is good equipment?
I’ve never used one so couldn’t say
Thank you , what machine you use ?
j dilla I think I used the Mustang Vader tattoo pen for this one. I did a review on this machine, you can find it in my other videos. Thanks for watching!
Hi.Can I make good lines with Sol Nova?I tried to make on the neck,but its not works.Maybe because of Vaseline.
Valdis Strauts I’ve not used a Sol Nova yet but I’ve heard good things about them. You shouldn’t have any difficulties lining with it. Necks can be particularly hard to tattoo if you’re not used to tattooing them. Vaseline shouldn’t really affect your lines. Thanks for watching.
@@JonoSmithTattoo Everything else works perfect,but with lines looks like I need to get use to.Thanks!
I have problems with needle dragging on skin. Am I going to deep? Hand to fast? Or is my voltage to low? I run about 8 for lining and slow hand. I like to float a pen machine
Of your needle is dragging it’s most likely coming out too far. Try retracting it a little.
Im a new artist myself. I have the Mast Tour by dragonhawk. What is an upgrade from that? Of course I want a Cheyene Sol Nova but I don't have the cash right now. What would you recomend under 1k for a quality machine?
Under 1k I’d have to buy a Cheyenne Pen. These cost around £500 with VAT. They’re just really versatile. Thanks for watching!
is starching too hard is okay? how much starch skin i’m new and confused because some says don’t strech much
So for as slow as you were lining in the demo, what was the machine speed set at?
I was lining at 11 volts in this video.
Thanks very good information
Hey Jono, I know they say you shouldn't line or pack over the same area more than 5 times. What about building up tones with a softer small stroke? I know it's more forgiving but within reason, right?
To be honest I’ve never heard of the 5 times thing. I suppose it does make sense but that definitely doesn’t apply to shading. As long as your technique is right and your machine is set right you can do much more passes than 5 to reach your desired shade. I’ve never counted but I’d guess I’ve gone over some tattoos maybe 20 plus times building shade with absolutely no issues.
@@JonoSmithTattoo brilliant, that's good enough for me. Better I ask you than over-experiment. Thanks pal
what needle are you using??
