The best example on how to tune your machine that i found on here for new users

1) To everyone saying this machine is a shader......its not, it's a cheap generic, 10 wrap machine, intended to be somewhat usable as a liner or shader, depending on contact screw adjustment. 2) The rubber thing, you referred to as a grommet, is an o-ring. Its purpose is not to "make the machine sound tuned." Its purpose is to make the contact spring act harder than it is. 3) The screw at the back of the machine is not called the binding post, the rear binding post is at the bottom of the machine, where your clip cord attaches. It's the post that "binds" your coil wires to your frame.

Great tips dude, they actually got my lines nice and dark. I very much approve of this to anyone wondering in the comments. This mixed with a voltage of 11 or 110-130cps definitely works. Thank you again, this video was exactly what I needed!

Most helpful video I've watched for setting up a machine so far. Thank you 🤘

After 3 other video I watched, yours is the one that did the trick, thanks!!!

FINALLY an easy to follow guide! Thank you!

No Not True

Hmmm this is a shader machine to start with not a liner! Run the o-ring to keep tension on the front spring keep your machine in tune.

AN ENJOYABLE WATCH I APPRECIATE THE UPLOAD!!! ✌️✌️✌️

Quick question. What can I do to fix my problem of tattooing and my machine cutting the skin? I have a new fkirons galaxie 3. And I was using it on myself but when I ran the line, it cut me.

Hi it's Troy and Trevina from Australia 🇦🇺 This video is so important for us . It's great unboxing our first liner .As we watch your video .We really appreciate this because we had no idea... Your the best .🌈

Way better than most. This is what i was lookin for. Thanx

Isnt the contact screw supposed to be lined up with the armature bar?

It is difficult seeing the figure eight on video (something having to do with frame rate?) Once you have the machine in your hand and get to that point you will see it immediately, auto-magically. Its also true about hearing and feeling the vibration or 'run' of the machine. You can have all specks measured with feeler gauges or whatever... you STILL have to have it in your hands. We (me and myself) used to sit in front of the tv and partially disasemble and reassemble and tune my machine, just to have the feel for it. And my first machines did not hold a tune, always haveing to twist and adjust durring the tattoo...ugh, groan. Later I got a good solid machine which held a tune even if you dropped it. It didn't, back in the day, maybe not so much now, coast too much to get a couple of machines. Maybe even the local biker would sell thier old switchbacks, but a good solid plain-ol' liner-shader or set, liner and shader paid for themselves rather quickly without making you have to sell your car to afford them (I drove really cheap cars). Remember these guys often were building thier own irons, wrapping thier own coils and cutting springs out of metal lumber strapping, sodering needles with a jig that was basically a 1.5 inch cube of metal or wood with several size holes drilled in it. Listen to Mr. Realtattoos, he knows what he speaks of and is only trying to make you better at your trade.

The gap between the Contact screw & front spring is 1.25mm

That whole nickle and dime gap Should Be in the armature bar when it's working. I proved that theory it before nineteen the spring and the contra post in a video on my account

that's a shader set up and springs

You should put the Disposable needle on it cuz it gives you a different noise once you put it on there make adjustments I tried it badly and it didn't work

what type metal should the washers b

Mine is really choppy sounding when i am tattooing and isn’t going over the skin smoothly! what am i doing wrong?!

1st , you have a shader not a liner and definately run the o-ring under the spring so it will rebound properly .. maybe this video can be used how NOT to run a machine ?

Even an old guy can learn from this man!

Thank you. !! Helped me so much!

That figure 8 blurry helps

No one right or wrong with tune up Tat2 mc. For me in 17 years for my Tatt2 career, I still learning set up all my new Tatt2 mcs. some of my Tatt2 mc of me running fucking so weird sound but it made a fucking awesome Tattoo work for me. Just try to find the comfortable point for your MC and you, that's how to tune up the Tatt2 MC.

Only one way to tune the machines in this video.......With a sledgehammer!

Idk why prissy fairys love to gatekeep like this? How is anyone supposed to get into tattooing? Reputable machine builders probably won't sell to you or over charge cuz ur green, Chinese machines are good for you to learn how the machine actually works because of how many times you have to fix and fiddle with it. I don't understand why you gentiles get ur panties in a bunch, its not like having the best machine will prevent you from doing a jacked up tattoo if you are just starting out, and if anything breaks it isn't a expensive break. Listen kids go fuck up ur friends the biggest thing you should worry about is being clean and not getting anyone sick, laser can fix the rest 😁

I have a machine when I apply Rubberbands then it becomes slow and if I bring more body then it will move again. Please tell me how much speed is correct for lining on number numbers.

Press the pedal down and flick the armature bar nipple down. If it starts to run then you may need a little tension on the back spring or more voltage, maybe both.

Shouldn't have the damn contact screw hanging off the contact lol.

Great info. Thanks!

Had me at washer under the back spring..lol😂

You know I have or had by now a serious intrest in tattooing up till now. You people are way harsh! Not to much props for your art or talent for each other. Sounds like a lot of jealousy. No one wants to truly pass their knowledge on to anyone else. It's all me me me!!!

Chris Ard true that I was doing apprentice ship at a shop in Clearfield utah at retribution and Larry swore up and down by the tattoo laws and how close of family they all are. Well this fool would talk about everyone every time they were not around. Even had a baby from a artist there and would deny they messed around or even the kid was his.they are all fake backstabbing two faced people. Though he did not practice what he preached in sure and hope they not all like this fool was.

They all say you have to apprentice, but when you try to they all turn you down. Like they want the art to die. Well check it out "Mr. Professional" I'm a home tattoo artist I have an autoclave I'm clean and I do good clean work. I know why you wouldn't want to sponsor me cause you think or better know I'm gonna take your money

@EpionGaming

x3Eyon leave the o-ring on. It affects the throw of the needle. You NEED it. And your machine should not sound lile that. You need it tuned till you have what is referred to as 'ghosting' checl out Johnny Gault on youtube. One of the best instructors on here.

Would copper washers the back be better

Aye bro💯💯 yhur tha truth

when you where saying about the rear washer and moving it down can u remove to washer under the spring and put it on top like the spring on the frame

yo that shit work perfect!!!

Must be a scratcher

I noticed no o ring

That's the geometry of a shader.

+Distinctive Art Flow for sure set for a shader. once again someone who does know what they're doing. can you use it as a liner. sure. you'll be pushing a round 115 to 120 Cps if you're lucky.

Looks like a shader to me..

Bruh thats a shader

Personal preference on needle depth as well. This is a joke isn’t it.

It's not a liner machine

Ummmm That machine is a shader, and no oh-ring? Yeah, look at the legnth of the spring and the geometry of that machine. What a toy. I mean this scratcher not the tattoo machine.

Thats shader bro. Not line

There came the coin, goodbye.

It depends on the work you're doing. So many things come into effect. If you're shading, doing outlines, the skin type of the person, how deep you want to go, everything. It also depends on the gun you're using.

Did you seriously just tell everyone to get rid of the grommet and that there’s no use for it. ?! God help any Scratchers who are following this idiots instructions. Gave literally no logical advice. Telling people to go by sound and shape of figure 8’s. You’ve got to be kidding me

Why everyone saying this is a shader? A shader spring is normally lower than this front spring.

Super :-)

Sounds like it got the flu 😷 homie ...

Does anybody see the second he touches the arm bar it stops or boggs out that means its unstable and improper. Also the set up on the machine is for shading the contact spring would be shorter for a closer faster run for lining. This guy is full of sh!t. Dont bother with this seriously. Learn properly for your clients and if your listening to him i pray for your clients.
