This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeshipThis 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.
Contact Screw Angle, does it matter? |

Hello!
Does angle of the contact screw matter ? I know it matters where does the contact happen between screw and the spring. I have seen many machine pictures of lets say shader for example that the contact screw is almost sideways. Is it because of the frame geometry or is there some purpose? -------------------- |

you can make changes to the setup - having the contact screw on the very tip of the spring will make it run slower having it set back further down the spring will make it faster its kinda like having a softer spring on the front when its on the tip rather than waaay back wich has more tension so is more like a stiffer spring or like putting a cutback on
