And only disposable tubes and needles.

I have tried the disposables and hate them, I have noticed that with the weight of the frames that I use ( i prefer heavier machines) that in some cases I would get a slight bend in the plastic tube stem, what this did was increase the tension on my needle bar making me have toi readjust or…[Read more]

This is posted on our blog for the shop, I will repost here.:
“The use of plastic wrap to cover fresh tattoos may have gotten it’s start at biker events. I can remember first seeing it used in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. Newly tattooed people were peeling off their bandages to show their bro’s their new ink and untrained tattooers came up with the ‘s…[Read more]

Well glad it worked out for you. On taking trades for tattoos, it’s not as uncommon as you may think. I will take trade items that I can either resell or use, I have traded services for ink, once instance is when I was building the shop I needed some electrical and plumbing work done, I traded a guy that wanted some work done for the services.…[Read more]

Worst way is saran wrap. It is non-porous, so all the blood/ink/plasma stays on the tattoo, and goes into it creating a breeding ground for bacteria.

To me the best is to use drylock bandages placed loosely on the tattoo. Drylock bandages are an absorbent pad for moisture. They draw all the sweat/ink/blood/plasma into them keeping the tattoo…[Read more]

you really don’t need to sketch from your head
there are few things I can sketch without a reference
you’ll always be able to have references just tweak them to your style

you can use a dot matrix printer if you use hectograph paper
if you use spirit master themal paper you need a thermal fax copier or a thermal office fax machine
mine is a brother mfc 1970MC but its really old
you can find cheap ones on craigslist or kijiji or ebay

Welcome!
Be careful when buying kits as they try to get your attention offering flashy, or many machines. You’re best to get a good quality kit–IE the 190$ Hildbrant one–or build one yourself.

I saw this on facebook, and love it :D

yeah, i noticed! :3
you’re going to be a walking skull pile soon!

looks good scott. How many skulls you got on yourself now? :P

yeah Dream you missed a lot of drama because of Reaper. He’s been banned by both Robroy, and I, and C.R. Jordan forced us to unban him. Basically said he can do whatever he wants it’s a free forum. The whole thing started with me asking to separate paragraphs in his posts to make them easier to read, and he went off on myself, Infamous, Lennart,…[Read more]

doesn’t affect me at all, said what I had to say. Moving on because picking a fight with a coward and a loser is just no fun at all really.

Ah but Roy, people cannot show what they do not have! :lol: :lol:

Keep in mind, that there are those who choose to associate with this industry who epitomize the horrible attitudes that so many people complain about, the trash talking keyboard warriors with pissy attitudes. Take the way they are as a way to NOT be in this industry and you’ll have a good start at something.

I had started to post in other areas on this idiot reaper. Yes reaper you are a freaking idiot, and just so you know
