O-Ring & Shading

[Cinmalleus]

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been trying to figure out my new machine’s tuning when it comes to shading. I successfully figured out the liner, since apparently I can use this machine for both.
It seems to be one hell of a powerful machine compared to my beginner one, which I outgrew.

I used a method, which is removing the O-ring in order to get a softer smoother shade without bleeding. Since I did not bleed once during my forearm piece, not even a little.
All the attemps I’ve tried left me bleeding right away, and this method seems to give me the shade I want with the least amount of bleeding.

I only tried spots on my arm, so not a long tattoo session where I can see if this will work for an actual piece.

Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks

u need orings on your machines not only do they help you change the front springs stiffness
it also takes some vibration from the machine.. you have to make sure
you tune the machine with the right rear spring that will be enough to retract the armature bar assembly
and also a front spring that is versatile and have a flex in it but also stiff enough to
withstand the resistance of the skin.
a machine should be able to do both if tuned properly
color shade and line.
