I actually meant needle size. Sorry. Can’t wait to see the finished tattoos.

Your lines are very nice. What did you use?

What was your set up on these? Needles? What brand of ink?

I have some Eternal Triple Black. Do you know if I can use this formula with this ink? Usually use Kuro Sumi.

Did this on my own leg http://s1017.photobucket.com/user/ratmonkey76/media/20131007_180215_zps715ada5c.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2

I am in the U.S. Not sure if the new one will have the option for 115 or 230, but will definitely check. The machines are being made for 75.00 a piece.

I ordered the kit through lightinthebox.com for 99 bucks. Am in the process of now buying individual pieces of much better quality. Should have the new power supply today or tomorrow. Having 2 new machines custom made. Should have those in a week or two. Bought Starbrite ink. Will probably use disposable tubes and grips. Can’t wait to get…[Read more]

Just ordered 17 Starbrite colors from Amazon. It includes black outliner and tribal black. Hopefully they will be decent. Doesn’t have zuper black.
