Nope… these are Chinese coils. All of my machines are Chinese. So maybe “rebuild” is a strong word.

NDM1973 replied to the topic First few tattoos in the forum Post your work here 9 years, 1 month ago
Tattooing on yourself is not easy. What I found that helped me was outlining with a 50% greywash. This is is a type of blood lining. After that, you can go back with 100% black and clean up any mistakes caused by flinches.
Take your time. Take a break and get an ice pack from the freezer and bag it. It will help reduce any swelling and will help…[Read more]

Coming up with original tattoo art is not easy for me. I came up with the idea of using ink blots (acrylic paints, really), to see if I could make a type of rough tribal-like designs. My imagination gets the better of me and, well…

Hi Brenda… All I can say about using Vaseline, is I have never seen a true reason NOT to use it. No doubt there are products that are designed to be better than plain Jane Vaseline, containing products that would aid in healing the tattoo.

What I am getting at, is that with the Chinese machines, you can lean a lot more about machine mechanics.
Don’t forget that China does have…[Read more]
