Hey Johnny, you are totally right your tips and insights aren't something you owe anyone! The internet is a weird place, don't let those people upset you, my dream is to become a tattoo artist and I can't thank you enough for putting up your videos for free, much appreciated man!

[@catherined.8694]

So helpfull video man. I can see that you are living it completely. That's on my opinion what a real artist does. I am currently pregnant, working on a nice company and shit. Just planning on giving up everything for what I really want to do. So I'm working on my drawing skills / portfolio to get an apprenticeship and I just totally feel you. Gotta work for it. Thanks a lot for your videos, you are awesome!

[@justinwhitham2833]

preach that shit Johnny G. on some real shit, every video you have put out has been informative and helpful, and I appreciate the shit you do brother. thanks man

[@1973numskull]

well this is from a 25 plus veteran of tattooing.. apprenticeships today ..most aren't properly done, I don't believe in receiving money for teaching someone the art.. 2 if they can't draw don't even try to teach them. 3.. Mr Miyagi their ass wax on wax off ... make these hand out generation stuck up generation work for it so they'll not be a rock star but be a real tattooer that loves this industry... had them a 1/2 handle toothbrush and make em scrub that bathroom floor over and over and over til they're tired of getting ya to show it and get told again... and 1 more thing if you're​ good enough to teach someone make it just that '1' not a group of flunkies. we are already over saturated now... and make them respect this industry and therefore they will appreciate and love it as well!! that's all I got..

[@fredylopez6142]

never knew you were a first-generation American same here just started working at a tattoo shop for a year I remember watching your videos many years ago keep it up you're kicking ass definitely would mind machines soon!!!

[@NdotHitman]

thats why i follow you Johnny, real recognise real, what your saying is the truth, ive been held back because so called artist have reached peak and im still climbing. Its a shame, peoples ego lets them down, everything you've mentioned ive half experienced.

[@_Waffleface97]

Johnny your a great tattoo artist I've watched your videos for the past 3 years now and Im a senior in high school I've been preparing myself for my up coming apprenticeship this summer I've been busting my ass working on my portfolio I just want to say thank you I can now follow up and prepare for this apprenticeship and now I understand the real shit that you've gone through and now I can concentrate on what's coming up for me and for my future career thank you Johnny Gault

[@johnkroll]

You're the man! Super motivating man, as someone technically on the higher end on this age range you're talking about it is frustrating to see people asked to be handed stuff, I had to work my butt of to get back to school. I am not cut out to be an artist but I respect the hell out of y'all and love getting work done! keep up the killer videos much love from Michigan!

[@JulianBullion]

That's what I am talking about baby!! Great video brother keep up the hard work. We see you working..

[@eddiequinones8022]

Dude nicely said ...I just started well I can't say tattooing because I don't know shit about tattooing all I got Is one tatto and a crappy half ass tatto on my back...but I love the whole process the art of it the time and dedication one puts into a tatto.i bought my self a tatto gun for $25 brand new it's nothing fancy but it's a started and I'm already drawing stencils like crazy but haven't really focused on the whole process off tattooing but your right if you want to be someone you have to fight for your spot no one is just going give you a spot...you have to prove your worth as am artist now I don't even draw at all ever but as soon as I bought that machine all i do is draw...your videos really help me understand how to properly set up my machine how to actually start my journey of becoming a tatto artist I can't say I'll be someone great but I'm sure I'll be someone worth looking up...your awesome man please keep making these videos even if some stuck up little dicks get mad because they can't get what they want...i need these videos because they help me understand what I must do to fight for my spot thanks again for the videos man

[@BobbieDeming]

[@AnxiousAimer]

[@ThePrinceOfDeath]

[@drewlopez1465]

Johnny this video was awesome, I just had someone at my job tell me some pretty inspirational things too. It makes me teary eyed when I see someone passionate about their art. keep up the great videos and thank you!

[@cristianavila2143]

Fuck yeah man!!! Preach that shit!!! hard work and dedication!!! My respects to you!!! keep on producing!!!

[@corygardner3945]

@Johnny Gault ....I find it shocking about how many people in the world that don't have the same common sense that you've verbalized in this video. All I can say is thank you for making these videos. Even though I haven't been able to watch them all, I will be looking forward to your next one....Im starting to take interest in how to build coil Machines from scratch all piece by piece down to the coils themselves. I will be on the lookout for those tutorials.

[@xanderiamorris7467]

love it!!! realest shit I've heard.

[@jonathanwolford7432]

love this kids now days dont want work for nothing they want everthing handed to them i cant remember a time when anyone handed me anything i worked my a@@ off for everything i have i hate to see where this world is heading in ten years

[@miguelguzman2236]

This is great. I've considered this as a career for some time because I'm in love with the tattoo industry, however I'm not artistically talented for shit. Before I can even consider an apprenticeship I need to practice and show that I have some sort of artistic ability

[@chrisnett4263]

well said homie if its handed to you you didnt earn it ,if its on clearance its there for a reason quick easy sale . if you want it go get it blood sweat and tears "work hard renegade" all about dedication ALL OR NOTHING make something of yourself ,dont rely on someone making you into something ...and remember your only as good as your last tattoo!!!

[@muttyou6969]

I've been doing my work for over 10 yrs you couldn't have said that better

[@lifeabovethepedals7607]

Hey bro just wanna say you are fuckin' genius thanks a lot for all of your awesome videos I learn a lot from you I didn't know what tattoo before and then I watch your video and I learn and appreciate everything you did, keep it up brotha your machine is fuckin awesome!!

[@premium5563]

[@stitchoner3272]

Much respect bro ! U couldn't have said it any better👌🏽

[@bewell30]

mad respect and thanks for the tips

[@gabrielle5084]

Can you give advice on balancing a job/jobs with an apprenticeship. I'm really nervous about financial stability when I take the leap and cut a chunk out of the time I usually would be working(although I know that time will pay for it self when I learn the skills necessary for my future career)

[@jtattoo38]

and that's the truth, whoever don't like what you just said they ain't worthy of being a tattoo artist. 👍👍👍

[@NEWFREENATION]

💖💖💖💖💖💖💯💯💯💯💯💯 i stay taking notes. thank you thank you.

[@jg1240]

[@Janne-k-]

THIS GOT ME SO HYPED!!! LETS BREAK SOME SHIT!!!! AAAAAH!!!!!

[@13thNemesis]

What the actual fuck is wrong with people asking for free machines!??!?! I wonder how many of those go to their electornics shop and ask for a free TV or a free iphone or whatever.. like srsly.. wtf O.o I fucking ordered myself a cheap machine from ebay so I can practice on oranges, for months(!!!), before I will get a real handbuilt machine and start practicing on myself before even thinking on moving onto other people or "clients".. I'd straight out call out people on social media, fuck them..

[@dopyloc9624]

don't listen to the hater they don't know shit about tattoos

[@openyoureyes3308]

✊🖒👏✌

[@WitikoAmor]

[@rytacarms]

Hand built for free no way everyone thinks their intitled to shit

[@Jaykayorso]

400 messages a day. Statements like that are the reason every other video of yours cant be taken seriously

[@JohnnyGault]

I think whats funnier is that you dont have a following at all and when I saw your facebook your such a pathetic scratcher using chinese gear that all you have time to do is sit around and comment on EVERY single one of my videos that drops and harass people who need legit help. Grow up dude you`ll never be an artist until you start respecting people and yourself. You follow me around on social media acting like youre cool when you are just a nobody :) enjoy the only post you ever got me to respond to being remembered as "the terrible scratcher who thought he was good by acting like a keyboard warrior."
