> This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeship

This site is not a substitute for a professional apprenticeship with a licensed tattoo studio. Nor is this site a definitive source for learning the art or trade of tattooing. An apprenticeship is the ONLY universally accepted way to learn proper safety practices and sound technique.

While we welcome members of all levels, we STRONGLY advocate staying away from skin until you've received formal training from someone who works in the field. Hell, even hair stylists must complete over a year of courses, pass a state health board exam, and apprentice under a professional studio before earning a chair.

The trade of tattooing has a rich history and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. If you respect the art, please show your respects by learning the right way.

I take it you mean thr tube fits too snug in the vise. I had the same issue with a couple of Machines. Its really gona depend on the vice style. I was able to take a simple round file and just make the hole a tad larger. You should be able to do the same. If it it any more complex than that call Andy. He can make anything right.

depending on the vice, needle nose pliers work great on certain setups....
