This video is a must see for any beginners wanting top tips to learn how to tattoo soft black & grey shading!
The absolute commitment bro, it's just amazing 🤣 thank you for sacrificing your skin to get the point across, respect. You're doing so much for us artists that can't get an apprenticeship. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Well said sol serpi
Actually did an apprenticeship but nobody really took the time to break these sorts of things down as well as you did. Thank u
Thanks for watching!
THIS. I love my mentor but he doesn't actually give advice. UA-cam was the real mentor
Great video - I really appreciate the demonstration on what “not” to do - that and the animations set you apart from the rest. Thankyou 👌😊🇦🇺
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching! 🇦🇺
You are doing a great service by helping tattooists give better quality tattoos. I pick up some tricks here and there from your channel and it has improved my work 10 fold. I appreciate it. I like how you demonstrate what not to do. It helps newer tattoo artists, such as myself. Keep up the great work.
Omg this video could not have come out at a much better time! I’m a new apprentice and I just did one of my first tattoos on my bf yesterday. I still have a lot to learn but your videos ESPECIALLY this video have really helped me in understanding what I’m doing and what I’m doing wrong. Thank youuuu!!!
I’m glad the channel is helping you out. Thanks for watching!
are u still dating now does he regret
@@SeriousGatheringCo.😂
Thank you for this video I started tattooing myself and I definitely caused tearing on my skin and it’s been healing terribly so this helped me so much
Ive being tattooing for about 22 years. I love watching your videos. Even on the aspects that Im really strong in. Keep up the great content my man.
As always, thank you so much Jono - you have played a huge role in all of my obtained knowledge - I am learning stuff from you that MANY people overlook. I thoroughly appreciate all you do for us! Thanks, man!
I've been tattooing almost half my life now and still love picking up new tips, or even refreshing and reinforcing what I already know. Good stuff.
Great attitude! Thanks for watching!
Question for the vets. If you have a potential client asking for a piece that is wayy out of your style/comfort zone or artistic strengths. Do you take it and send that shit or do you say no as it's permanent
@@PeachiiWubs Just my opinion but taking on jobs which you absolutely know are beyond your capacity is probably one of the quickest ways to ruin your reputation. It’s that age old thing, you do a good tattoo, the client tells 10 people, you do a bad one they tell a 1000. Not to say never progress but if you know it’s not time for a particular job it’s probably best to turn it away and just be honest with the client.
@@PeachiiWubs I'll personally refer em to another place. I was lucky enough to not feel I need the money and risk doing a really bad job, and I've got some amazing friends around the city I can always refer clients to
To anyone new to tattooing: listen to what this man says. He’s a wealth of knowledge and he explains everything in such understandable terms. I’m no expert, by any means…but his videos have helped me go from a know-nothing beginner, to someone who understands the basics and am excited to see where it takes me. My technique has skyrocketed thanks to you. You do a service for the tattoo community, sir. Thank you!
Thank you for the amazing feedback! I’m glad the channel is helping you out.
how’s your work going
Best video I’ve seen on the matter - super helpful, thank you so much 🙏🏻 I really appreciate you for going all the way and actually showing us how *not* to do it on your own skin 🙌
Thanks for the awesome comment!
Been scratching myself the past couple of years, and I think I have kind of got a hang of it by now. But boy what a great video! So helpful, so easy to understand with the animations, and then seeing it in practice on real skin. I have easily made all these mistakes on myself, many times over, but lately my shading has been closer to what it should be. Looking forward to my next go, after having seen this video. Thank you, good sir!
Dude thanks for the demonstration 😅 I am grateful that you are sacrificing your skin for us new guys. Much love ❤️
Thanks for the content again man :) been tattooing for about a month on fake skin and honestly getting on well, impossible to find an apprenticeship in my area , so being self taught UA-cam guides are a god send
I’m glad the channel is helping you out. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, I've just started tattooing and some videos I've watched don't cover certain parts that you do, so again THANK YOU 😊
I’ve been struggling with shading for so long and getting mixed advice from different people. I feel like this is going to make all the difference for me. I can’t wait to get into the studio and try it out. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This is true dedication to spreading your love and knowledge for tattooing! Thank you for sharing Jono✊🏻🙏🏻
I really do appreciate the time and effort you put into showing us the right path we must follow. I felt so much pain just by watching you hurt your leg. you deserve sooooo much respect!
Thank you I really appreciate that!
Loving the content I’m still learning on fake skin and this advice is well appreciated.
I’ve been searching for this specific explanation for forever cause I’m trying to start my realism and this was perfect thank you!!!
I'm glad it's helped you out! Thanks for watching!
I’ve watched so many shading tip vids and this one helped out a bunch thanks man
love love love your energy. I didn't even pay attention to what you are teaching thru the entire intro. Love it J
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching! 😃
Thank you for all the great information. I am just starting out and this video helped. I did my first tattoo yesterday and was wondering what mistakes i was making and now i know and can correct them. Thank you so much!!!
I’m glad the channel is helping you out. Thanks for watching!
Solid information on shading. Been tattooing for a fair few months now n still find this stuff very useful
Thanks Andy!
Absolute legend!! Since i started tattooing i never really got that red patch of skin. But there has been a few. And ive noticed its usually on med-darker skin tones and now i realize it's because of wrong choice of shade. I never like to go too dark because you can't go back... thanks for the info!! 🤙
I’m glad the channel is helping you out. Thanks for watching!
Go on Jono, the king of analogies and video explanations. Great stuff man
Aww thanks I really appreciate that!
I thank you for all your videos and for sacrificing your skin ! Luv ya mate !! 🖤
Thanks for the awesome comment! And as always thanks for watching and supporting the channel. It’s really appreciated!
oh my god you use your skin to be class!!good job man!
Awesome. Video came just in time as I get ready and prepare myself for my session with a client on Thursday or Friday. Tips are always helpful. Though I still have the knowledge on shading and color packing. Always good to brush up skills. Tattooing is forever learning and ongoing.
What a great attitude you have. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jono for your continuous efforts to help and encourage us on our learning journey, you have helped me so much to fine tune my fundamental skills and you have aided me in gaining the confidence to transition from fake skin to human skin with what i have learnt from you thank you so much for your dedication to teach us and show us the correct ways to achieve fantastic results.
Thanks for another great video Jono because I always learn something new from watching your videos!
Thanks for watching!

It hurt me 🤣 Thanks for watching!
I'm new in everything about tattooing and I was a little afraid because I didn't know how to start but I'm learning a lot with your videos, thank youu so much! 😄💖
I’m glad the channel is helping you out. Thanks for watching!
This was a great tutorial! Right on brotha 🔥

Having a realistic job today I came back here to refresh my memory on these. Again thanks to Juno who’s having fun in heaven !
I love your videos they definitely helped me progress 🤙
Appreciate your explanation using your own skin.
This tutorial is beautiful. It describes everything in and segments it's not too long. It's a great video Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This is why I follow you my man! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I’m only an apprentice but I’ve been trying to take in literally all the information I can from my mentor/internet and you are hands down the BEST channel I’ve come across. The in depth explanations with the animations has absolutely skyrocketed me. Keep up the killer work my dude! Hopefully I’ll be above the other apprentices in the studio in no time ;)
Thank for the awesome feedback! I’m glad the channel is helping you out! Good luck with it all!
Daniel Yuck is pretty good too
Thats pretty helpful. I think i was running my machine a bit too high. My shading isnt near as bad as the first example but not as good as the 2nd. I guess a question i have is how big or small is needle throw. I have mine relativy shallow for black and grey but idk the pinpoint of where it should be. Also i dont know if my pendelum swing technique needs to be more consistent, i try but a lot of times it seems like when i try to put the ink in i dont see hardly anything, so i keep going and then when its finally in, its too much. Its not too red or bloody but my smooth blends are intertupted by mag lines, idk if its my throw, speed, or hand motion or combo of all 3. My greywash set i use is nocturnal premade set. I ad a couple drops of black to each and stir it and im pretty happy with the way each tone heals, its just the smoothness. Without the few added black drops, it heals too light especially the dark where you want it close enough to blend into the black
Love your content brother keep it up and thank you
Thank u I'm learning so much from u ur saving me so much learning time ur like cliff notes of tattoing
Tienes carisma y muy profesional, es agradable ver tus vídeos porque los explicas de una forma muy técnica y entendible. Mis respetos y saludos, sigue así Bro! 👌
¡Gracias por tu increíble comentario! Realmente aprecio eso. ¡Gracias por ver!
Thank you!! Just started all of my family members have told me to tattoo because of my love for drawing over the years. I wanna learn as much as I can thank you very much!
Good luck with your journey! Thanks for watching!
update
thanx for the vid and education here i did some white tattoo colouring on my existing tattoos i will see how it turns out
Thank you. Mad skills yo
This is great info for permanent cosmetic artists as well !
Omg this helped so much actually, thank u for the video!!
Thanks for watching!
One thing that I don’t see discussed is the actual depth. Completely agree with the lighter touch but superficially hitting the skin you won’t hit the dermis. If you don’t get the ink past the epidermis it will not hold up over time as the skin regenerates. Excellent explanation overall though! Keep up the good work man!
Big Thanks for this video J. Smith, God Bless you.
Thanks for watching!
Hats off bro! Thank you 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Simple and clear explanation 👌. Nice man.

I’ll end up covering it at some point. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this!
Duuuude you've shown me my exact miatake that I kept making thanks for the heads up man...peace✌🏾
I’m glad it’s helped you out! Thanks for watching! 😃
It all depends on your machine for pressure. Gauge of springs , spring gap , speed and force has everything to go with depth / pressure. Only speaking for coil machines
Your a great teacher thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks for watching!
Bloody legend mate! Super helpful

Nice! Thankyou for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video how would u work up to a good motion to match your hand speed would u start at low volts then work up and would a shorter throw on a rotary be better for shading I got a couple spectra rotary machines and they got a few different ones a 2.8 , 3.4, and 4.0 ....
Best tip vid I found 👍
Haha taking one for the team your awesome Jono! That badger was nice stuff bro well they all were actually but that one looked like a polaroid 👍
Thank you mate! I really appreciate that 😃
Alot of good tips, I could really use a video on color packing
Perfecto! Gracias!!

I’m glad the channel is helping you out. Good luck!
Thanks for the video! keep up the good work :)
Thank you!
Being that we begin with very light pressure, that would mean that we’re not going 2mm into the skin at first correct? What I’ve always wondered is, the ink from those first passes as you’re building, does it drop out of the skin over time as the tattoo ages? I know if you don’t go deep enough when lining or packing the ink will drop out is what I’m thinking, so with shading wouldn’t it be the same? I’ve seen some incredible tattoos done in which the artist only goes maybe a half mm into the skin, but those details seem to fade fairly quickly.
Instant sub, nice video thank you
Your videos are really helpfull, thanks ! 🤟
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Helpful brother ❤
Great info. I too really appreciate the demo bro! More on the shading side of things. How ever what would you recommend for detailed lines on thin skin, when tattooing myself I have trouble with blowouts & holidays cause I got shit skin, not old.. its just thin like an anorexic 80 year old eyelid
Blowouts are much more common to occur when using smaller needle configurations like a 3RL. The only thing you can do to prevent them really is to make sure your needle depth doesn’t go too deep. I know this sounds obvious but that’s the only thing that’s going to cause a blowout to happen. Try easing off on your lines a little more and if the line looks weak, then go over it again with a slight bit more depth until you hit that sweet spot of putting the ink in the skin but not putting it in so deep that it blows out. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Thank you sir! ❤
So helpful thank you so much bro
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorials!
Thanks for watching!
What yiu thing about David Vega and Ralph nonwheiler technique where they make multiple passing and low voltage to get really smooth shading I use that same approach let me know your thoughts
Amazing ❤
Mahalo for this info. I’m brand new to tattoo at age 50. Living on Hawaii island. New life new adventures!
Good luck on your new venture!
I think the backwards sweep will help a lot of beginners
