      Thanks for the insight, my kingpin powersupply was pretty expensive so I figured it would last longer than a year, but I noticed the amount of power it was putting out was starting to change from tattoo to tattoo. I got a hurricane and it seems to be pretty solid though.

      Sorry, didn’t really read that through very carefully did I? I was kind of blown away by how much I really dont know about tattooing. In any case do you have any recommendations where I could find someone to build one? Also do you have anything to say about Kingpins liner machines? They are who I started with.

      Wow. I have to say I’m humbled. Thanks for posting. Are you a builder then? If so have a website?

      Well I’ve done a few tattoos since I last posted and turning the voltage down definitely helped and surprisingly I can still move through them fairly quickly. I also turned the voltage down on my shader and it still puts the ink in just fine without tearning the skin up. Thanks again for helping me expanding my knowledge on this!

      I do have a liner from kingpin as well that I have the same issue with, it has basically the same set up as far as coils and springs. Being that I run the voltage so high and I was actually taught to go a little higher than that if necessary I do think It could very well be the capacitor or or coil because I know the machines themselves are not made to have that much voltage running through them for a long period of time. Or at least thats what I have read. I have spare parts and I will replace it and see if that is an issue, and I will check my power supply as well. Ive had issues before with the armature bar nipples I use getting worn out so I always make sure to check it constantly.
      I will try using that voltage too and I’m sure that will help.

      I’ll try doing what you told me and see how that goes first I guess before I go into stretch technique. Thanks.

      I have a Pulse Executive for my liner. It has 8 wrap coils with 16s for the springs front and back. My voltage stays between 9 and 12 volts. Power supply is from Kingpin so its pretty solid I think. Thanks so much for taking time to answer. Really appreciate it.

      Fair enough I guess. I’m still very new in the tattoo world, and yes my boss should be doing that. And during my apprenticeship he has called them guns as well as machines. I realize its not the professional term but yes I do say that from time to time. Sorry If Ive offended anyone. I doubt I’ll get an answer but I guess my question is how do I get my liner to produce consistently strong lines. I’m not trying to act like I know much about tattooing and when I work on someone they know Im new at it its not like im out there messing ppl up believe me, nor am I doing this out of my house. I have a lot of respect for the tattoo world and I put everything I have into every tattoo I do. Its why im on here trying to gain more knowledge.
