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 8 years, 9 months 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…

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]
