“Crank up the voltage and going to town on someone “ I’m screaming

I saved this video awhile back because i knew this would be an excellent reference for when it was go time for me. -my uncle called my number and i watched this vid before and when tuning my liner and it was clutch. Not only did i get into a good lining rhythum my auntie that i tattooed smiled and is happy so far with our first ink session. -thank you bro you helped me stay focused and keep it clean and crispy (it was a brand new machine too). 🤙🤙🤙🤙 Greeting's from the island of Guam 🇬🇺 🇺🇲 .

Thank you sir! I watched 5 videos today and you made more sense with the voltage thing so far. The ear thing was something I was dependent upon and you are the first person I heard reference it. Much appreciated.

Awesome vid bro! I did an apprenticeship over 20 years and then never tattooed due to the military. This was a great refresher.

I’ve been watching quite a bit. First touch up I did came out good but I think I had the needle out a hair too far because it would get hung up in my skin. So I think less needle and a bit of angle on the gun rather than straight down will make for a better experience. Although what I did cane out good.

Good looking with this I personally have an issue with setting the coil machines.. so I got accustomed to rotary. And I like your break down. With the voltage this has been the most informative video for tattoos I have watched. Thanks for the lesson

I love this video to help fall asleep every night. his method is great tho, but don't be afraid to turn up the voltage, depending on your machine build it could vary, do what he shows you with the finger, if it stops its too low, you have to hear the machine sound change when entering skin, that's what your looking for, if you put your finger on the bar and there is no sound change, it's too high. good luck

I just subscribed. And this is a great video.

Wow ty new to tattoo I thought the sweet spot was 8 volt. And yes I screwed myself. Man. This was great TY TY By sweet spot. I listen for the sound b4 this vid. And mine seemed to click over at 8. But was very wrong ty

Will larger needle groupings need higher voltage to overcome the higher surface tension?

Hey man,great vid. I have a question,when I’m doing line work,or even shading,my lines I use about 7.5-8.5 volts,using a dragon hawk rotary machine. Now when doing line work,why is the needle sometimes,get stuck in the skin as I’m laying a line? Is it because the machine is a china-cheaper machine? Idk,but it is driving me crazy,please if u can do a video on it,that would be AWESOME !

Rotary is slower than coils i use to use a hummingbird rotary and i move very slow which gives me a clean line as for coils will always be faster than rotary

@arealassassin

4 жыл бұрын

Also, a rotary machine doesn't always stop with the needles withdrawn when you cut the power! Depending on where in the rotation it is, the needle can be full out when you lift off, thereby getting caught. That is the main disadvantage of rotaries, and something that no-one talks about! They're ok for shading- with a bigger bundle of needles, but for single needle, or a 3 round liner, they're no good. Go coil- your lines will be finer, and more controlled.

Oh, i've been going with a bit too slow power. (Traning on fejkskin)

Simone help. I got vlad blad pro liner as well as mike pike machines. Both start working well at fist but in about 1hr the power drops. And I have to crank up the volts? Is it the power supply ?

Awesome vid! Glad that I found it. Got a new coil recently but that machine also confused me. It’s so powerful that can only start at 3.5 and it kicking loud. And I can normally do lines at about 3.7. I guess it’s depends to the machine Hope it’s normal. 🥴

Can u buy the plastic bag that goes around the cord in a store?? Like store store not online

thank you for this video :)

Hey man I really appreciate you helping out people who just can't afford expensive equipment start off with what they have. My machine has a frame similar to yours with an angled rear deck. I just can't tune it so it runs properly in lower voltages. I've tried taking off some of the tension on the rear spring by bending it downwards, I can get it to run at very low voltages but even if I turn it up it just hits weakly and feels wobbly. If I put more tension on the rear spring, it hits nice and hard but I have to crank the voltage up to 8 volts, less than that and it won't hit hard enough. Make it a 10 if I put the rubber band on. I ran the supply through a multimeter and it checks off. The gap between the rear coil and armature bar is already very small, also the armature bar is lined up with the coils and vise. The front spring is off center because the contact post's hole where the contact screw goes was drilled diagonally for some reason, so the contact screw is angled to the side. Gotta replace that, I guess. Anyway, do you have any advice for me? I'm going for a sculpting liner so I can start lining real slowly like you mentioned in the video about straight lines. I'm trying a dime gap at first since anything more than that and I have to crank the voltage up to 12v+, sometimes even for it to just run. Is it okay to tattoo with a high voltage if the machine is not chewing up my skin?

can be normal for cheaper machines. If the coils aren't made from good materials. Also 10 wraps and 12 wrap coils take more voltage to work. The more wire the more voltage needed. Way to fix that is tune the machine better.

Awesome! What I find is even if someone has learned differently they will come to the same conclusions. I learned a lot about machines on my own. Then I would read a book and it would tell me some things that I was already doing. Just made me feel better knowing I was on the right path. Machine tuning is an art that you need to practice a lot because you start to know what is right by feel. The more you touch it and mess with it the quicker you learn what feels right and what is whack. You need to look, listen , and feel when the machine is working properly.
