@pixiegarza search the youtube user "TATTOOTRAINING" OR "UNDERGROUND DERMAGRAFIX" watch all of his videos. he teaches you everything from the ground up slowly in a series of videos. very very very imformative.

Okay.. I'm trying to learn how to begin tattooing, but I need to learn as much as I can about the machine first.. obviously but now I'm more confused than ever... if anyone can help me find either a better or more in depth video it would be most appreciated!

@Headshothorror4488 I live by a built up line , but when you are doing sleeves and long outline sittings its nice to throw down a solid line with one pass. I don't use any gauge to tune my machines , All i use is my power supply . The key to great tattooing isn't in the machine its in the artist, haveing a well tuned and built machine helps out alot. It allows you to preform at your best .

@Headshothorror4488 Right on , It sounds to me like you are being taught well. I run my color machine with a 18 spring for the speed and a 20 for my duty . speed being the front spring and duty being the back spring. That allows my to use my color machine as my shader as well. For my liner i run 18 in front and back, I cut the contact point half way back and run it at 80-90. it can be used as a shader or color packer as well. it puts down a nice solid line. Built up lines are very good .

anyway thats who i was talking to.I'm in a shop on the east cost for about 5 months now,a guy named John but i doubt you know him, its a small shop that is new to my town.I was told not to give specific info on the shop to anyone online.I dont want to piss him off giving out details on the web for stalker reason.ex, some have no life and may call to prank cause of a argument or whatever,he told me do what i want but dont leak personal info. Thanks to few,Again sorry for getting hype so fast

exactly on the machine talk, i was talking to a guy tattootraining on here,told me a machine cant run with a 16g front OR back same for a 17g haha. I know this guy is not garbage and those who say he is most likely cant tattoo or there just ignorant kids. Tattotraing says u must have a tension gage to tune a machine 375-450 or the machine cant tattoo. What do u think of that ? Do u use a gage and if so what #. To me i think of tension(back spring) as duty cycle.
