Hello! great video! Im just starting out as a new tattoo artist and I haven't even opened my machine ivy purchased. (I want to get all the correct materials before I can start on my fake skin.) Could you share what would be the best needles to purchase for a practicing beginner? Im ready put my hours in I'm so excited to get started. Thank you so much for this information you have a new follower 😍
Yes yes yes
New subs thank you for this video
Welcome to the channel!
@@JonoSmithTattoo thank you so much my friend
Hey nice video ! Although I did managed to understand what my 1205RL needles standed for, I'm using another cartridge from Cheyenne and I can't decipher what does it stands for : 3-cap liner (0.3) in a triangle shape E-MKO3-CL30SL. Could you help me figure it out?

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! Welcome to the channel!
I've just got my first tattoo kit and after watching some of your videos (which I love by the way and have helped me loads so far, thank you) decided to put it all together and try it out for the first time. I attempted a minion just to get a feel for the lining and shading and what needles I'd feel more comfortable using. I completely shredded the skin on the parts i coloured and sliced parts right through to the other side where I done the lining...please can you give me an idea of where I went wrong here so I can improve next time. Thank you :)
Congratulations on starting your journey. To be honest it could be a number of things (especially if you’ve just started). It could be the machine is running too fast for your hand speed, wrong technique, too much needle depth to name a few. Try upgrading your practice skin to the thicker yellow rubber ones. These are much better for practicing.
@@JonoSmithTattoo thanks for your reply. I literally don't have a clue what I'm doing at the minute so it's probably everything you've mentioned. I've set the needle depth to 2-3mm which I think is right. I will try the thicker practice skins and learn more about different techniques I could use hopefully this will make a difference. I look forward to learning more from your videos. Am use to pencils and paper which I'm not to bad with so really hope this is something I can pick up and become good at to with enough time and practice :)
@@ooo000ooo3 my background is pencil and paper too. It is a big transition as tattooing is a completely different ‘feel’ but persevere with it and things will click eventually. Good luck!
Nice video sir I'm from India
Thanks for watching! 🇮🇳
Hallo again. Love your videos ♡ Do you use/like the Hollow point liners more than regular Rounds? And what’s the actual difference between #10 9RL and #12 9RL, when going into skin? I’m torn…. been using #12, but want to switch to #10, and NOW there’s hollow to throw in the mix!
I don’t use hollow points. Never really seen the use for them. A #10 is needle basically a size smaller than a #12. For example a #10 7RL would be the same size a 12# 5RL. Another example would be a 10# 11RL would be the same size as a 12# 09RL. This is because the needles are thinner so make a smaller line. So to answer your question… if you use a 10# 9RL that’s equivalent to using a #12 7RL. The only difference between the two is that the 10# tend to make a denser looking line as the needles are more compact together. Personally I use #10 needles for 95% of all my work. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much. Appreciate your time
Plz I hope I get a reply soon
My questions are
How bold should your line be when doing a portrait tattoo and what middles should I use to make a good work out cuz am using the coil tattoo machine
And lastly can I use water to mix my black ink to have a light shade
If I don’t have gray wash
Plz I really need your reply
You have been my coach for long
Thanks 🙏
I don’t really use lines with portrait tattoos, rather just go straight in with shade to get the realism look. I usually use a 10-11-CM for portrait work. Yes you can mix black ink with distilled water to create greywash. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Easy Jono any idea why I've used the chayenne craft cartridges and tried the more expensive safety ones and I could not pull a decent line with them at all. I just don't understand how they can be so different. Same make and more expensive!? Also any tips for tattooing small arms nothing to lean on at all like with backs n legs
I’ve not got experience with the craft cartridges to be honest mate. From what I know, they keep the same needles but use one piece of plastic for the tip to save on costs. That’s really interesting that they perform differently. I’ll have to look into this further.
For tattooing smaller areas with less room to lean I find just using the palms of my hands for stability works well.
Hope this helps. Thanks for watching mate!
@@JonoSmithTattoo cheers mate ill experiment with this advice
Hi Jono. I see lots of artist I follow on instagram who tend to just use very small grouping 3rl in particular on a whole piece. Now my issue is these smaller configuration are more painful for the client and there is a higher risk of splitting the skin, if this is true then how do these artists get away with it ? Is it because they don't really pull many lines do they just kind of sketch with them?
You can ‘sketch’ with these needles if you want to. I’ve seen a few artists use the same needle grouping to line shade and pack with. It works for them but it’s definitely not for me. I prefer a few configurations set out before I start the tattoo. If you’re splitting the skin try maybe slowing the machine down a little and being careful with your hand pressure.
@@JonoSmithTattoo I've never actually split the skin yet but my mentor told me it's more possible with small configurations so its scared me a bit. 7rl is his go too configuration for starting a tattoo but things like small letter printing I just can't get the fine detail with a 7rl. I get that you don't need much pressure the thinner ones (3rl n 5rl) I'm just going to have to trial n error. I just don't want my clients to suffer necessarily its the biggest think to me.
okay one question mr Jono; Is an expired needle trash or can it still be used?
You can use it on practice pads but not human skin.
@@JonoSmithTattoo What happens when we use human skin?
I never used expired anything bud. I know that question was for him. But there is an expiration date for a reason.
@@robertreid8363 Yes, u're right I know.. i was just want to ask lol thank you
I always thought bugpins are 10# / .30 😂
