Thank you for this! I just got out of my apprenticeship and bought my first machine (it’s a pen/wireless machine) and my mentor only had worked with a Kubin rotary, so I had no clue how to set up my new machine or zone. This helped me understand it while keeping cross contamination in mind! Very well done!!!! New subscriber achieved!

Try that blue barrier protective film strech to the grip until it comes one body and u will see whats the better protection because the film sticks and protect so well

In the bio or description you should write down all the tools and equipment you need as well because some people cant make out your accent. Just a little advice for future videos.

I'm a coil man or if I feel like rotary I have a bishop V6 both clip cord, so I take a sandwich bag and snip off one corner and place the machine inside, then the grip through the cut corner and wrap the grip the same way you did here the thing I am guilty of is neglecting the clip cord sleeve

My tattoo needle wobbles and I can't fix it. In traditional machine I would use rubber bands any mod jn this ?
@richardsalazar9738 Жыл бұрын
Are these cartridges that are wobbling? If so what brand are you using?
@dravenheart2444 Жыл бұрын
Are you using the right size tubes for the needle ? As there all different sizes that could be a factor . Say if it’s a round 9 liner you need a tube for a round 9 liner. Also maybe try and put a slight bend in the needle in the middle so it sits flush against the tube and maybe a tighter rubber band. Hope that helps :)

I have the same Sol Nova unlimited 3.5, is it possible to do a beautiful line with this? Mine are crispy, I tried many voltages and hand speed but no way :(
@dravenheart2444 Жыл бұрын
Nope it’s a terrible machine to line with. Probably the worst machine I’ve used for lining but it does shade smooth. Even packing black with this machine is a stretch. I’d recommend a 4mm stroke or higher for lining anything. Especially using cartridges the membrane system creates a fair bit of resistance for a machine with a 3.5 stroke to pull a good line
