Also JT, you’re the guy that was also saying that you could sterilize tubes without an autoclave by boiling them right? You only used each tube once yet you said here you do a ton of tattoos? Now you have a client with a tattoo that looks like “oatmeal” that you did? See where i’m going here bud? Hope you didn’t tattoo you’re client with one of those steel or aluminum tubes bro.

You do have a shitty attitude man. It could be any number of things. Does the client have any other tattoos with red ink? Many people have reactions to red ink which could look like any number of things. The advice about the jewelers glass was also sound advice. I’m actually shocked with how many “tattoo artists” out there don’t even glance at their needle before starting the tattoo. Like said, one little barb or hook in a needle will turn skin to roast beef and many times you wouldnt know until that tattoo was finished and healing. Don’t have an attitude like this forum was placed here at your disposal for prompt direct answers to any question you may have. Some people wouldnt know good advice if it slapped them in the face.

jt,

Did you seriously say that the methods you’re using (boiling/bagging) is suitable to sterilize metal tubes? IT’S NOT! See, this is the big problem I have with scratchers. I would actually like to share certain information with people trying to learn but people like you really make you think twice about doing so. You have no idea what so ever as to what you’re talking about. Is this a joke to you? Do you even think about the fact that you could potentially destroy somebodies life? And for what? So you could do your little tattoo and maybe make a few bucks? Do you even know how easy it is to spread Hep? HIV? If you want to tattoo take some damn pride in it. Show some respect for yourself, the client and the art. THE ONLY WAY TO STERILIZE A STEEL TUBE IS WITH AN AUTOCLAVE! And thats the last step to the process of cleaning a tube. Take the advice that people are giving you. If I gave a person a disease I wouldnt be able to look at myself in the mirror. You obviously arent tattooing allot. Make your life easier and safer for the client and invest in disposables. They’re cheap.

PS Would you be OK if a surgeon or dentist worked on you with equipment that they boiled because they had no autoclave? If you’re willing to take risks with peoples lives based on your own selfishness and ignorance. You are exactly the type of person we do not need in the tattoo industry. Its because of people like you that so many people in the industry and reluctant to share information with. You have proven in one thread on one forum that you are not ready nor deserve to tattoo.

Scratch,

Not to come off the wrong way here but considering you’ve tried all those adjustments with your machine. Have you pondered the thought that the problem might be with your technique and not the actual machine? Your little star tattoo scabbed up and the ink fell out? There’s so many other variables involved here other than just “whats wrong with my machine”. Have you done tattoos that healed well without scabbing and loss of ink? What needle groupings did you use for the tattoo? How fast were you running your machine? Are you using quality equipment?

Like I said. There’s so many more variables that it could be based on the information you provided. Be more specific and you might get the help you need.
