I was always courious that if you need to graze the skin and tattoo useing pressure to control lights and darks, will the lightest shades last? I always thought the inks were thined and useing equal pressure. I'm a portrait painter thinking of pushing ink and I paint by single colors by thining.. (washes).
If the armature bar wasn't touching the front coil you would not be able to hear the machine nor would it function for that matter. It never touches the REAR coil and never should, there should be a tiny space between the a-bar and the rear coil...just enough to slide a piece of notebook paper through but I assure you that a tattoo machine WILL NOT RUN if that armature bar is not making contact with the front coil.
This artist does however have his machine turned down considerably as you would with most shading / coloring work if I had to venture a guess I would think around 6 to 6.5 volts. Tuning the shader to run at lower voltage does not actually slow the machine down it just makes it hit with less force giving more time to do detail work without tearing up the skin.
Although I've seen a guy shade and color with a 9 round liner at full speed but he was moving very fast. Hope this helps. Also you might want to find a copy of Tattoo Machines and their Secrets by Art and Steve Godoy. It really dispels some of the MYTHS associated with tattoo machines and their secrets. It's not magic, it's physics and just about anyone can learn it and understand it.
the a-bar will touch the front coil when a-bar is pushed to the down position...it has to touch because that is what closes the circuit and turns the magnets off so the spring can push it back up to the contact post...it shouldnt touch just sitting there tho
@brstone2002 the armature doesnt have to touch the coil. the simple action where the spring does not make contact with the contact screw as the armature is pulled down from the coils being magnetic is what breaks the circuit. thus the up and down motion.
great video .....thanks for sharing..just would like to ask you ,what voltage are you working on im sure its pretty low,but is the armature bar touching the coils at all...i was taught to set my mach so that it doesnt even touch the coils,however iv set my machine to let the armature bar just touch the coils..is that ok t do?
@stinkygusto The most beautiful and realistic art pieces use the full range of tonal values. Understanding value is very important in the world of art.

the a-bar shouldnt touch.

umm the bar should touch, voltage is determined by the needle being used, need enough to push the size u use, simple as that
