So many questions... I have been tattooing 2 yrs, with some help, but my help is self taught ,and doesnt have answers to many of my questions. My children are 1st priority so an apprenticship is hard to find around Mommy time...
My question is ... If my gun is running too fast, How does this affect the tattoo? I had a tattoo look good when I was finished but as it healed it pushed the majority of the ink out. Not an allergic reaction, not just on color, all of them.
Anyone that could help please do. This is the only site I have found with such friendly members  |

make sure the spring gap is set correctly
outline=thickess of a dime
shading= thickness of a nickel
also,....turn the voltage down under 9vdc.
and you might slow your hand down too,......trying to run a line too fast with a cheaper machine will do that too. |
