Honestly, in my opinion hildebrandt machines arent much better than than the chinese ones you guys were shitting on. I say this as a person who owns one. However I will say they have some potential. for the price you could definitely do worse. I rebuilt my marlin ‘444 using all pulse parts and a cut and tapped nickle over the…

If you know how to tune and tweak a machine you can take a $12.00 machine and make it work as well as a $500 machine. But if you are new and don’t know my advise is to buy a Hildebrand liner and shadder . I personally use a tweaked up .44 magnum fand an old bulldog from Superior tattoo supply for most of my lining. They work great, i just changed…[Read more]

Where are you located??

Those lines are GREAT! But don’t rush to color it in if you ardent that experienced. That will be a nice piece when done right. I am also really impressed!! I would ask some of the guys on here for advise on coloring it in and what they suggest if you haven’t done it yet!!

What happened with this idea and when does anyone want to start!! Sounds fun!

I make my own stuff for our shop. I use 2 sticks of blue speed stick(clear) Take a knife and peel just like a potato into real thin slices into some sort of squeeze bottle, then i use 2 oz of clear hand sanitizer the way i measure it out i just fill the empty speed stick container up twice with the sanitizer and pour into the container with the…[Read more]

The rotary machines i have used have been cheap with exceptions to my bosses and the cheap ones worked great for what i used them for! I couldn’t tell the difference! I do not like them for lining but, they are great for portrait black and grey shading.. My advise is to buy a couple cheap ones off of ebay or Hildibrant! The jack hammers rattle and…[Read more]
