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.

this is definately something im doing wrong, as both machines worked before I took them apart, spent literally the last 3 hours fiddling with this, adjusting that, getting fucking nowhere. trawled through past posts and did things like making sure all screws are iron or steel (I have a brass frame), checked power supply is good, clipcord is good. coils work on both thats not the problem. so im thinking its something to do with the several thousand washers and things that keep the right distances for the screws. any my problems are
first machine; shader- no movement, nothing, tried moving abar further and closer to frame not a fucking peep. was shady before being took apart but did actually work liner- abar "sticks" to coils when footpedal is pressed down instead of going down then up again like I say tried everything I can think of/ read of but theres definately something so fucking obvious I just havent done it help -------------------- "Life is the hardest teacher, she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards"
