been doing it for a few months now, whenever im coloring in after a day or two it looks all smudged and it dosent look well defined, iv tried putting the needle in less and more, using vasaline with the ink, repeatidly going over it changing voltage diffrent needles, nothing seems to work, it only happens sometimes though, depending on which part of the body it is, diffrent needle depths for diffrent parts of the body mabie?

@getlowboss, when im doing a tattoo loutline i like to work with a 5 round needle about 2mm (little thicker than a dime) out of the tube i usally run it at about 6.8-7.3 volts and duty of about 47 to 53% but everyone is diffrent and machines are diffrent, u need to find what works for u, these videos are a good help sometimes but every person, tattoo and machine are diffrent what works for one may not for another, i started like u but decided to apprentice and learned so much more that on here.

Maybe you all should see the rest of the videos for this tattoo because it turns out pretty wicked. Its amazing how every one on the internet is a fucking critic and some one with a few tattoos all of a sudden knows all there is to know about them.

@Getlowboss it gets stuck when you go too deep…the needle only needs to go into the first 2 layers of skin..and skidmarks you are goin too fast

if you go too deep the ink spreads verry much and you get a black line with green shades

I noticed this dude, pushes the needle in rather deep alot, too deep is not good) its about having control. sometimes if the needle is getting stuck you might need to check for burrs, (if its been bent), or turn it around, its alos about what angle you holding it. you have to learn to move the machine around sometimes becos the needle flows better going certain directions. it also depend on your power, maybe turn it up a bit, could be your inks, some cheap arse stuff off the net doesn’t cut it.

@Getlowboss Maybe you have the pack set too low?

the needle is just pokin out the end of the tube an when i press the foot pedal, comes out a few mm maybe about 1mm maybe 1and a half, but wen i put it into the skin an wipe it, it looks like a skidmark, but wen i put it too deep it gets stuck in the skin an hardly moves(tried it on myself)

@Getlowboss is the needle comin out far enough?
You might have the tube too far down for the needle to come out of it

im sure he has been tattooing awhile but his needle seems to be going in deep. his lines will look blown out when it heals so the finished product that you see now will differ from when the skin actually heals. hes an old school artist with old school ways.
February 22nd, 2010 at 6:16 pm
wait a minute you dont know shotsie your saying hes a bad tattoo artist?
