This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeship
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.

QUOTE (skoda19 @ Oct 4 2009, 09:53 AM)  spent a day on them both trying to tune them, thought i had them nailed but when i tattooed with them today they were pretty bad. had to change back to my old machines. just seems not fair to me after shelling out 400usd on something i was promised to run like a dream, straight out of the box. both thoes frames are not ideal for a cutback setup, if i were you id be trying to set them up as traditional shaders/color packers. -------------------- The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them. |

maybe its just my opinion, but i find that for a cutback, the front binder sitting over the front coil core is great, & the spring/binder issue wouldnt be a problem with less angle on the spring
ps aufwe, sorry bout jackin the thread This post has been edited by MARKT4LYF: Oct 4 2009, 10:50 AM -------------------- im pretty much done on this forum, you can reach me thru my website
