• Very nice dude. (:
    What are you having a problem with when color packing?
    IMO, It seems that your not using tight enough circles.
    But if you could explain a little bit more I might be able to give you some tips.
    Keep up the good work, and hope to see more!

    As of that tattoo, 5.

  • The original image did but then I redrew it and shaded it differently.
    I wanted to practice with a smaller needle grouping and that’s why I used a 3RL.
    But if I tattooed this on a client or anyone else, I definitely agree a 5RL would have been what I would use.
    Thank you for your kind words.

  • Hey Lennart! Long time no talk. To tell you the truth I’ve tested out higher gauge springs and lower. I’ve come accustom to the higher, I like how my liner hits harder ,faster and, I can keep a fairly quick hand speed when lining. On my shading machine I like how I can get a nice soft and fast stroke. As for my color packer it’s quite similar to…[Read more]

  • That’s great to hear Lennart.
    If only I lived in Denmark or close to it, I went and became a certified contractor. haha.

  • Well I was at the time, so I try to educate new comers so they don’t make the same mistakes I did.
    If you have any type of question, basic or even if you think it’s kind of stupid to ask, just ask.
    When you’re ignorant about something, it might sound stupid but IT’S NOT. Those questions can really save your ass.
    You’re welcome for the tips, I…[Read more]

    Welcome to the forum! And I am glad to see you asking questions! lol

    1. First of all, not to be rude but professionals call it a machine, so never call it that if you want to sound like a pro lol.
    But to answer the question, well you know what if you have that book coming it will explain it a lot better. Just look for quality and…

    Hey lithium, first off welcome to the forum. No it’s not impossible, it’s just the hard way so to speak. It’s possible, as I started myself as self taught. Just takes a lot more time and discipline. If you have any questions, just ask.

  • Rscotti91 replied to the topic ball system… in the forum My Machine Hates Me! 12 years ago

    The ball system has to do with the armature bar nipple. When you run your machine pay attention to the the nipple, it will look like a BALL bouncing. The purpose of this is to get the armature bar nipple to stay at a consistent gap whether that be 1-3mm or more depending on what you prefer. This will help determine how the needle(s) puncture the…[Read more]

  • It’s funny cause thinking about the tattoo I’m getting in a few weeks is Norse mythology inspired.
    I’m getting the Loki mask from the 1994 film ” The MASK” XD

    Yeah pictures would definitely help.
    It could be your contact screw, the screw adjustment on the side maybe slightly loose so when you run your machine it starts to slowly push off the front spring.
    Which in return would not make a complete contact, and stopping electromagnetic cycle from staying consistent.
    If not that it sounds like some sort of…[Read more]

    OK, well I’m hoping to show the artist my portfolio soon after I get my new tattoo in the coming weeks.

    Thanks lennart, I won’t stop dreaming, and I know I will do it someday.
    I just want to become an apprentice and mentor, I’m going to finish a tattoo on my leg I started and retire my machines for awhile.
    I want to do more homework, people say they’re thirsty for knowledge. Well I’m not, I CRAVE KNOWLEDGE.
    So I’ll study for awhile and then pick up…[Read more]
