The only time i ever do color with my liner is on a very small area that most of my mags or rounds cant get or even on the very tips of the tribal. For the longest time I played with shader and color machines, best thing I can tell you is buy another shading machine and change your contact screw to the width of a dime and nickle together and go from there.

I use a stacked needle, and as far as an 8 wrap I thought the same thing but it seems to be working just fine when I slow way down. Plus thats how it came…but thanks for the info ill keep plugging away and hope for the best.

Yea i make sure that the depth is the same when it makes contact, i guess im gonna have to put a ankle weight on my wrist to try and slow it down. Just to make sure even with a mag make circles or use a sweeping motion? Cus everywhere I look I get both answers. Thanks for the info.

I run the needle about a nickles width out of the tube, im not inept i know if what im doing is going to cause damage or not. I always test the set up on myself before anyone else, like I said practice skins do not help me at all. I am trying to get my hands on some pig skin but still no luck.

Haven t been doing this long but buying a kit isn’t bad but not worth it. I have only been doing this for about a year but if I could go back and buy machines and so on separately I would in a heart beat.
