I like it………and you need to post pictures in the FLASH section and tattoo’s in this section… :mrgreen:

I did it by accident and didn’t want to double post. I had no way to move them to that area afterwards. I feel so silly:-)

I wont get into the debate on who make the best machine, Ebay kits, or anything else of the sort. I will however say this, Ive been looking at the Hildebrandt site and they have a Rotary set available, and I am seriously considering in the VERY near future purchasing it to try out.
I have been intrigued by these…

I haven’t done any color yet, so I would like to know when coloring should I use a shader or liner?

What do you think? The clue is in the name of the needle ;)

Also I keep reading about a soft back spring can anyone explain? Thanx a million.

The spring which the armature bar…

Nice work on all of them! :mrgreen:

Thank you so much. I just keep working hard at it. Not too bad for an old chick.

Here’s a back piece i did on my Step Daughter, I think it turned out good and she loves it. I beleive this was like my 4th tattoo???!

That’s looking really good, the shading on the branch is awesome :) Fantastic piece :)

I think they all look good…take your time, slow your roll, and just practice! Keep up the good work! :ugeek:

Thanks, amigo :) Taking my time is something I’m very aware of, I’m just worried about taking too long on a piece :lol:

Ive tried it and didnt really notice any difference………what i have notice is how tight that damn rubber band is and selecting the correct size to use… :lol: :lol:

Definitely :lol:

That last picture is what i had envisioned and thought was a “typical” cut back… :ugeek:

The last one could be set up to be a cutback, but its current setting, is not a cutback :)

I see Eikon on Ebay all the time….. :ugeek:

I saw one today but the guy wanted $40 for $27 coils…maybe I’m just cheap. :) My shader died tonight mid tattoo and I had to adjust my liner to finish. (liner coils have been replaced…go figure) I may have to buck up and make the purchase. :(

When you work / live in a tattoo shop – you get dozens of shitty tattoos from your friends all day long – because they want to try new stuff out. You help each other progress – and you know that in the future the fuck ups can be corrected – but pretty soon you have less and less bad tattoos.

Mark..thanks bro. I hear you on some of the Mistakes, Ive damn sure made the same ones myself….A FEW TIMES.. :lol: :lol:
I also strip the machine down to the frame and am not afraid to “Experiment” with different setting and springs to achieve different results. Its alot easier when you have that hog ear to practice on as well.…

Hey Viper, the main point of it was that it takes a little bit to trust a soft hitting machine that isn’t running fast. I had a habit of being…[Read more]
