can the liner machine be used as a shader? im talking about the BA! MACHINE!

[tattoosuperior1]

@JAYSONMARTES24 it is possible however the springs are different from liner to shader...So yes it will work but not as efficiently as buying a machine specifically for shading or lining!

[woodpusher329]

so are ur starter kits at supirior better then element tattoo supplys starter kits? cuz im thinking about switching to you guys just not to sure yet

[tattoosuperior1]

@woodpusher329 I have been trying to respond but youtube is giving me issues! Yes come check Superior out!!! We have everything your looking for.

[woodpusher329]

hold up if u never bend the needle there would be no reason for rubber bands right?

[tattoosuperior1]

@woodpusher329 no! you must do those steps to control the needle from bouncing around in the tube tip......Rubber bands and bending the needle are a must...(for coil machine).

@DRKNESS333 your a fucking idiot people can do what the fuck they want. tattooing wasnt always a professional art you fuckin dumbshit it comes from underground art people just trying shit your a dumb ass ...people can start wherever they fuckin feel comfortable your not right any more than me so it doesnt even matter

[number1barber]

@edgarsanchez1904 stupid question



[number1barber]

@XcapeArtist357 without the band it moves around giving poor lines and poor ink flow. if you dont bend the needle but put bands on the needle will dip in the middle and the tip will be runing against the top of the tube not the bottom where the ink is. dont over bend the needle or the middle will hit the tube inside causing it to slow the machine down. this is really rookie info so you shouldn't own a kit as your way to lazy to have learnt even the basics. dont learn from yt

[number1barber]

@XcapeArtist357 im really new but a coil has give and when you hit resistance it slows the machine more. i now use rotary because setting up a coil machine is more difficult my rotary has only the voltage as adjustment but be careful you can hit really hard with the rotary. if you dont know the basics like bands dont use it on a human yet.

[XcapeArtist357]

I just recently purchased a tattoo kit with a rotary machine. what do you prefer about the coil machine? what might be better about the rotary? is bending the needle also a good idea for these machines? I use the disposable needle and tip/grip combos as well

[DRKNESS333]

you cant learn too tattoo from youtube; nor should you be trying too teach. your'e all a bunch of fucking idiots.

[daguyfromlastnight]

i was wondering,how much of the needle should be out of the tube for lines and shading? and whats the best thing to practice on? great video by the way....

[gambleyourhealth]

Nice,

I have found all along that my machines work best at different voltages (even the ambient temperature can change the value, hot day Vs cold day for example).

Myhself and All my Pro tattooist mates do exactly the same thing. All the Net Jockeys say "about 8 volts" but the value depends on a number of factors including Spring Type, Ambient Temperature, the material the Machine is made from, The quality of electricity supplied to the premiss, Needle and tube type being used, etc etc...

I FUCKING LOVE YOU MAN !!!!!!! THANKS nOHOMO
