i love watching these vids, i have only one question. when tattooing, should the tube tip be touching the skin or not? i mean, do i need to use the tube as a depth guide or keep the tip from touching the client all together?

[tattoosuperior1]

@redneck0ne that my friend is up to you...I have seen artists use both methods...In my expieriance i have noticed the small the needle grouping the closer that tube gets to the skin....But of course you adjust your spring gap so your not drilling someone either.

I have heard both not to bend the needle bar and to bend the needle grouping to compensate. and vise versa. which is correct?

[tattoosuperior1]

@atmdc i say a little of both is good! But definetly the needle bar because your rubber bands pull back that bend keeping your needle grouping held against the back of the tube tip.

Probably the most informative tattoo video I've seen on here. He doesn't just show you what to do, he actually explains the reason for bending the needle. Nice!

why do u bend the needle?

[gambleyourhealth]

@maricella61904 its done with hectograph paper

@Musicvideos19 depends on the artist, its personal preference.

@xXxTR3ExSm0KaxXx they are different questions. Liners/cutters/shaders/packers all have different setups. Gap / volts / spring tension / capacitor rating.

@redneck0ne dont touch the skin, you dont want to be rubbing the skin with a steel or plastic tip just after you have been sticking a needle in it. You want it as close as possible without actually touching.

Okay, I just got a tattoo kit today. And I have a question. It came with the tubes and attachable tips. I can't get the tips to stay in the tubes.

[xXxTR3ExSm0KaxXx]

whats a good voltage for liner and shader??

[Musicvideos19]

do you really bend the bar bc ive seen other videos the guys don't bend the bar

@redneck0ne

I find that when I put the tube tip onto the skin the ink comes out all over the work, I go through a lot of ink and it makes the job hard to see.
