Hmmm. May be a power supply issue. None of my hildies run any higher than 9.5 loaded. I Can get them as low as 5-6 no load. My 444 marlin with a wide back spring runs even lower. I’m using a Hurricane HP-2 Power supply, and a fully RCA set up. Rocking the .357 mag .30 carb .44 winchester .444 marlin and .22 rimfire for hildies. I also have a Danny…[Read more]

Welcome :3

Looks great. Pass

I use Radiant Colours. They are a thinner ink compared to inks like Eternal and Alla Prima. They do go in really easily though. They also stay really bright. Pretty much what you see when you put it in is what you get. I’ve written a review on them for tattoo radar I’m pretty sure.

make sure that you are using decent gear for one. If you’re using cheap chinese stuff it’s going to make things much harder. also be sure your machines are all tuned properly, and be sure to have quality inks. Without knowing the stuff you have it makes it really hard to determine what is going wrong. Could be a depth issue, gear issues, or pigment issue.

Yeah I’m sure if you dig you can still find it. Basically this dude was hating on EVERYONE. All of the active members and such. Was pretty bad.

There was a pretty big drama fest on the forum a month or so back. a lot of people left. was that tat done with your new clip cord?

Still need one more. :3
These links are working though! :D

Moved to proper section.

It really depends on what you price range is. I have a liner for sale for 200$ Danny Fowler Flatline from A Time Machine. Regular 325$. If you’re looking for something cheaper you could check out Hildbrant.

The binding posts are made out of copper. A lot of chinese machines do that I’m pretty sure. Easily changed.

Whether you’ve been here a day or a decade you have the same rights as everyone else. If welcoming new comers keeps you active, then by all means, haha.

Technically you can, but it wont be white in the end. It will be grey as you will see the black in through the white ink. There was actually an episode of LA Ink where a guy had a true sleeve: his arm was completely black. He then began to get white tattoos overtop.

All my mentor asked me is how much time I’ll be able to spend in the shop, and shit. Nothing really tattoo related.

You could add a small amount of witch hazel to the bottles, and it will help to thin out the mixture. Then it’s just simply shaking it like crazy. I always have a sterile ball bearing in all my ink bottles. It helps to mix up the ink. There’s also some little toys you can buy that will do this…[Read more]

Nothing wrong with using references. Come up with an idea, and grab a bunch of references, and put the design together.

A lot of places around here go by the piece. I’m pretty sure El Toro is by the piece, PhilINK TATTOOz is 75$/hr, Uncle Brian’s Tattoos is 100$/hr, The Skin Within is by the piece I believe, Locey’s Kustom is SUPER expensive 400$/session. Not 100% sure what that means, but oh well. He’s probably one of the best black and grey ARTISTS in my…[Read more]
