tattoo schools are bogus, and it is 45* lmao i alway say 90* by accident XD
if you want to learn you should get an apprenticeship dont waste your money on the school
as far as “vaseline” all petroleum based products are a no no in tattoo world. youll want like PurTect, or A&D ointment, or After Inked to tattoo with
Vaseline is fine on fruit but…[Read more]

youll know you’re going too deep because youll actually cut the fruit rather than just put microdots into it

to remove the excess ink etc to see where you’re going apply a good amount of ointment before you make your line/colour/etc
this makes it a lot easier to wipe away
when using practice skin you need to use a lot of ointment so i assume the…[Read more]

The sad thing is that some many “artists” have grown so used to the way things have been for the last 20 years, shops being basically in the same categories as outlaws, bikers, criminals, and so on that it’s hard to find a clean artist to work in a shop. I have had no less than 20 applicants since I opened never come back because I have zero…[Read more]

Honestly, unless ur using very very very cheap needles then you shouldn’t have to change you needle out at all, even on long sessions. From my experience when you are having issues with the needle not going into the skin it comes down to operator error. Meaning that you are not stretching the skin enough.

I recently changed my main colors over to a brand called Solid Ink. I also have a few select colors of Mom’s, nuclear, and fusion. I stopped using Eternal because I hate the way it gets a hard top on the color after it’s been sitting for awhile. So far Solid hasn’t done that with any color that I have. I still have some radiant colors as well,…[Read more]

I have found that different springs depends on what machine I have, My damascus runs much better with high tension springs, usually the black alloy ones. My vol runs better with softer springs, one of my cheaper shaders runs beautiful with no o-ring on the spring. I also use steel contact screws instead of copper or brass, the point lasts longer…[Read more]
