I use Hildbrant machines

I have the .444 Marlin, .22 Rimfire, .357 Magnum, .44 Winchester, and the .30 Carbine. They arent crap :P

Rotaries dont necessarily do more damage tot he skin. it’s all in how you compensate for rotaries with beastly motors. some types of rotaries hit much harder than others, etc. then theres the cheyenne hawk that has an adjustable throw. in the end though ill always stick to coils. i wanted to try rotary at one point but as soon as i bought one the…[Read more]

I get it. You want more then one oppinion ;)

When saying coil vs. rotory… Hmmm it all depends. ;)
Thats a thing you will hear alot, cause actually it really depends on your prefferences. BUT, start out with coil. Thats were it came from anyways.
Theres alot of people going on to rotory, heck, I might do that eventually myself. But for now, I…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum…

Well…. If you dont know if you can draw… Then I really think you should find out. Take a piece of paper, and find an object… Then draw it. ;)

You could attend art classes… Do something more then just dream about it. ;)

Looks great :D

If its not finished its not a touch up its not a touch upo its a second session. Make sure they know that if they try to stop before its done. You need to really step down and really get stuff straight when they leave. Don’t waste money dude.

Always happy to help dude. As a moderator its my duty

He just called me, and wanted me to give him a touch up…. Told him no. Boy he sounded shooked. I told him, that once he had another tattooer do stuff to my tattoo, scapping it to the bring of destruction, I can be of no blame. Then he just hung up on me, didnt even reply to my facts.

Well, just have to suck it up and leave it as it is, and dont…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum.

Man that sounds like a great story you can tell your grandkids if you make it :D

as far as the BPP im not sure. ask your local heal department :3

personally i prefer coil. if something breaks you just replace that part. if something breaks on a rotary you pretty much need a new rotary. also as far as adjusting you cant adjust most rotary. with coils you can pretty much fully customize it. i primarily use hildbrant coils so id…[Read more]

no problem
i wasnt 100% sure so i double checked in my Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo.

I can agree charging him for the fix, I wouldn’t touch anything up if he allowed someone else to jack it up. It’s shop policy here that if you come in, pay for a small session on a large piece and get the outlines done, then goto johnny handpicker down the road and he/ she jacks it all up then you come back to have it “fixed” you are more than…[Read more]
