I remember my tutor mentioned that I should use the small cups so I dont waste the ink he kinda mentioned it in passing! but now with all that info combined it makes sense! why fill a tub of ink to only use a quarter of it…

Ink is cheap… so are tubes and needles and paper towels and baggies!!!!
Don’t skimp!!!

if I ever needed any supplies which a wholesaler would only provide to a studio, rather than a home artist, that he would be happy to order them on my behalf.

I built a tattoo machine using a Chinese machine (it was a rebuild) for a popular artist friend of mine. he took his machines to convention, and all top guys love it. Nikko Mike Devries, Nick Baxter, etc. Chinese machines are not horrible. If you are a good artist / machine builder you can tweak anything.

interesting

Sorry took so long!

Depends on the kind of lines –
I know a lot of people who are using one machine for everything –
but if you are in street shop you kind of need 2 or more machines – to do flash –
new school work though.. you can get away w/ a soft medium stroke for everything.. if you want to build up your lines.

Can be 100s of things…
I am sorry to say – you HAVE to learn from a professional…
or practice on YOURSELF for a while to figure out your machines, needles, pigments, power supplies – ect…

Don’t go too deep… that can be a problem – and can DAMAGE people’s skin!!!

Possibly a good section for the pay area of the website…
New website will be launched in a few months… stay tuned

Fusion has some good colors… I like certain individual colors from certain companies.
Check out Intenz and starbrite – micky sharps
