You must be the first tattoo artist I've seen who isn't absolutely covered in tattoos

Holy shit. Im an apprentice right now and this exactly the things I havent learned

Please do a video about infection etc. Infection, scar types. What to do to prevent, what are causes, what are solutions

I'm an apprentice and this is SO HELPFUL. I've been struggling with getting black to look even with any type of needle. Thank you!!!

Best tattoo info I’ve found on the internet! I tattooed for almost 15 years and have learned more from this channel than any teacher at a shop. THANK YOU JONO

Not only you help a lot with your videos, they're so visually entertaining that I can't help myself but binge watching all your tutorials. You're one of the best tattoo channels I've ever seen, keep the good work! 💪🏻

You are definitely a breath of fresh air to learn from. Straight to the point, clear, precise and a great teacher. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ive just discovered your videos and will definitely be watching them all.

I love everything in this video; the teaching, the technique… and the animation. 😁 nice work, Jono! 👍

Thank you for this, I have blending colours down but couldn't understand why it was so much harder to colour pack- it took a lot longer. The wrist vs elbow makes a lot of sense and worked well. I can do either depending on what I am after now. Ta!

oml, it helped so much!!! i absolutely adore how short, yet informative this vid is :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I have been struggling with packing black ink and now I know why 🥴 game changer!

Found your Channel yesterday... instantly in Love ❤️ The secrets surrounding the Tattoo Industry stayed "Secret" for far to long. Make knowledge and information accessible.

Loved this. Followed, and rang that darn bell! ♥ Thanks Jono!

I appreciate your videos! Thank you for taking time to explain these concepts

Im a visual learner so this video is GREAT for me. (This is the first video I've watched of your channel) and I am loving it. Thank you

Thanks for this video! I've had trouble doing solid pieces, and this video helped me understand what I was doing wrong.

Like your videos! Im a beginner. Doing my own arm right now plus friends as i can. I have noticed improvement with your tips. I also noticed how much ink quality plays such an important role. It was like night and day when i got my first Moms black ink vs the stuff from the kit. Just wanted to thank you, keep up the great videos!

Thanks for your highlights, I'll never ever discover my hand movment without the comparison that you've made in this video! I love all of your educational videos ❤

So I've been tattooing for almost 30 minutes now and your video makes me think I've already improved. Thank you !

Holy shit someone who actually teaches you something instead of just showing them doing it! LEARNED A LOT THANK YOU!! SUBBING NOW:)

Great tip. Thanks for this video. I also figured out that a good power supply makes a huge difference. Constant power helps with solid lines too. I had a cheap power supply and my machine speed wasn't constant. I bought a good quality power supply and my machine now runs smoothly and consistently. Keep up the Great content. Much love.

Thank you! I lke the detail in your videos. Easy to follow and understand

I really needed this, I would get super nervous and completely forget I was using my wrist instead of my elbow. Great video!

Wow, this was the exact issue I was experiencing. Thank you for the pointers!!

Thank you so much for uploading all Those super helpful Videos. I‘m learning so much 🤗

I gave a thumbs up in the first few secs because this guy's attitude is lovely.

very precious details, thanks a lot ❤

Wow! Very thorough and informative. As a guy that basically knows nothing about tattooing, you're channel is exactly what I need to finally become my childhood dream. A tattoo artist!

Man you do a great job explaining and covering all bases of the subject

Cheers mate currently blacking out the top halfs of my pinkie and ring finger and cant explain how much youve helped, have a hand piece my artist did with grey wash shading around it so your home made grey wash video has helped a lot - it as weird as it sounds feels like your a virtual mentor and im your apprentice ❤👌

Bloody brilliant brother! Thank you my man

omg, thank you so much for the explanation! immediate sub!

Great video! I've been struggling with this and I'm thinking now it's the wrist movement thing. I don't tattoo humans and don't plan to anytime in the foreseeable future. Thanks for all your quality content!

Omg thank you soo much !! Cause yes I totally work it from the wrist and do have a hard time putting solid black in ! I’m going to try movement from the elbow next time and am already excited to see the results !

Jono, I don’t know how I missed watching this video when it first came out but I am so glad I saw it today. After following the technique you described, my packing improved tremendously! I can’t thank you enough! 🙏poppy

Can you make a video on how to do a proper set up ? just stumbled on your videos ! Great stuff, thanks for making informative content fun !

Super helpful tip on the elbow movement, thank you ✌🏻✌🏻

I’ve been tattooing 9yrs….this helped out a lot man

Thank you soooo much for fixing your subtitles!!! I could always understand you anyhow but sometimes I gotta watch without sound and the captions were absolutely tragic! Also, you are awesome and I greatly appreciate all your tips. I'm sure it angers a lot of tattoo artists but that's only cause they feel you're stepping on their toes. They need to get over that shit cause what you're doing is amazing! Love it! Thanks again! Cheers!

Awesome thanks for the great news about the 5th element 😀

Your videos are a huge help on my improvement. thanks so much :)

This is great and gives me a lot to think of as I continue to work towards training. I'm not touching human skin until I'm in an apprenticeship and my mentor tells me I'm ready. Until then it's all fake skin and oranges. I'm not one hundred percent sure if I understand the concept of the "bog/give" section. Thank you, Jono!

The 5th was the most important 😏 Thanks! It really enhanced the packing game!

Thank you so much for these instructional videos,.....I'm going to try that elbow motion ,....thanks jono!

Love the set up mate

Thank you, this is so helpful! 💖

You are a very good teacher. Thank you!

Thank you Sir! Another important lesson learned from you as a beginner........

Love ur information series...I've been learning tattooing my whole life and the upclose visuals and animations put a lot of things into perspective keep up the great work

The animation is hilarious. I love it

Thanks so much for this video

Thank you very much sir jono I learn a lots of ideas and techniques of tattooing,god bless you always ❤️👍

The best tutorial!

Thanks a million for all you Videos sir🙏🙏🙏

This was a great video thank you so much

Great video.

appreciate you bro! im about to pack some black ill come back and let you know how much of a difference this made!

Dude ur videos have gotten so good.

Thank you! This helped so much

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Loads of help

Awesome advice !!! Thanks !!! You could add number 6 : practice!

LOL johhny smith does NOT suck! youre awesome!

Jono, you’re actually hilarious - thanks for the education 🥰

your squinting animations crack me up lmao. i really appreciate the work you put into creating clear instructions and making them entertaining!! you're awesome jono! :)

I really appreciate the hard work you put into these videos to explain to us how to tattoo. i think you spend a looot of time for your animations to make us understand in such a simple way. Thank you so so much for saving our asses ❤❤❤❤❤❤

yes you are right the pendulum movement seen here is more for shading than packing. I think you can achieve that with only moving your fingers and not your wrist and watching needle depth at all the time.. Great videos again.. Thank you

Absolutely love this video. Thank you so much for all the information

I’ve been binge watching your tutorials 😂 absolutely learned a lot.

Thanks Jono i was waiting for this video! Greetz from the Netherlands Jesse de Jonge

Thank you very much ! Great step-by-step

im a young beginner tattoo artist, your videos are very helpful :)

Really useful, everyone else has just said it's about the stretch and getting the right depth, but the technique with the elbow makes a lot of sense! Question - is it possible to pack black using a 3.5mm stroke, and how would you go about packing an area like the bicep/inner thigh/stomach? Great video, thanks!

now i know!! tnx bro!! im a newbie for tattooing..still studying all the does and dont.

Thanks, that's very helpful!

Love your videos man. Could you do a video on what makes good tattoo composition idk if you have done something on this yet. But I also understand it's less technical and more on the art side.

Wow!! Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much. Added value

Another great video

“. . .infuriating and soul destroying. . .” I felt that.

Thank you so much ❤❤❤

Wow! I‘ll try this out next time and hope for the best! Sometimes my blackwork is really on point and sometimes I just wanna throw away all my equipment.

This video was friggin great, you did an awesome job bot explaining and visualizing a simple concept I hadn't considered. Seriously solid video here, definitely encourages me to pick my machine back up after months of stick n poke... cheers!

Thank you !!!!

Awesome vid

Funny that your intro got alcoholic beverages in the background, the inks worst friend 🤣 keep up the good work. Videos getting better and better

Thanks a lot Jono✌🖤☕

Thanks for this video sending hugs from🇵🇭

Your the best I watch all ur vidios

Whoaaa 🤯🤯🤯amazingggggggg💯💯💯👊🏽👊🏽

big help! i was indeed using my wrist for circular motion and was not stretching the skin to saturate. 🤦🏽‍♂️ lol

top tutorial...thank you

It would be great if you could talk more about different techniques that ain't talked about... great video👍

Every tattoo guy on KZfaq has 1000s like or so, this guy has 5k! Subscribed 👍

Thank you so much for this video! The elbow trick is an eye opener!! 👍

Thanks man

Thanks that is very helpfull!!

God bless man 💕💕

I actually bought a machine from a local shop( It wasn't branded or something. It just came in a plane brown box with something like a model no. on top of it) for 80€,seems ok for now. Works fine, some screws startes to lose up a bit and the rubber band on top of the machine,not the one holding the needle,the other one that holds the springs together, just broke while i was tattoing.

Jono, do you have a video on correct needle angle? I don’t understand how color packing in tight circles (with a shader or mag) at a 45 degree angle is recommended since it puts the needles into the skin at different depths. If you could explain this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

thank you
