    I was tattooing with a cheap Ebay coil machine and mid tattoo the machine just stoped working I loved the cables around tell i finished the tattoo since that's what caused it not to run so i ended up cutting the part of the wire that shorted put and connected the good parts together and it still runs till this day lol

    One of the most informative vids I've seen. Axis Valhalla, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe a new vid could help us with 2 things: explanation of importance of torque in the rotary we choose and maybe an explanation of which machines have a built in 'give' or 'bog' to simulate coils... like I've heard some Bishops do. Lastly, for the nerds, Oliver Ayre went into explaining brushless or brush motors and the ways they run differently at higher voltages. Would you have any knowledge to share on that to help us out? 💯

    I'm not a tattoo artist but I'm looking for a good friend I plan on "investing" in.
    It seems kind of like coils are just an older style of machine that is slowly fading out? Everything I've seen seems like coils are more touchy, louder, POTENTIALLY more painful on the artist hands, etc.
    I'm not making any assumptions, but I genuinely wanna know, are there any mechanical advantages to a coil machine today? You have to have multiple machines set up for multiple weights right?
    I never saw the pens before, and I'm leaning toward getting him one of those. Seems like they might be the norm in the next 20 years

      It's a matter of taste really. You have to try shit out and see what fits what you do. There's no bs like "this is the future of tattooing". You can even tattoo with a stick as it was done before the damn machines for centuries... Some tattooers even line with a machine and pack color by Tebori(traditional japanese technique), like Horitomo of State of Grace. Anyway, good luck. 😅

      If I may.. I would always recommend getting the machine you plan on using in the long run to practice with. Think of it like cars. Tattoo machines vary from brand to brand and style to style, so practice with what you plan on using will only help you out. No new learning curve with a "new machine" that feels different to start with. Hope that helps.

      Seventh Trumpet Tattoos hey tyler. So currently the machines i use are the radical lux with the faulhaber motor. And honestly i love them. There are only about $300. And you can adjust the stoke on the fly. They advertise as being able to adjust the “needle depth” and the “hardness of the hit” but its essentially the same thing on the actuall machine. I still use 2 machines. I generally keep one set for lining/ packing. And one for soft shading. And ive also used the xion. And honestly i dont know if its more of a “stroke” adjustment” or “debt” adjustment. But im pretty sure its advertised as Being able to change the stroke on the fly. Love your videos by the way.

It is never a machine problem, I have a lot of FK Irons products but after my gorilla grip debacle and my Xion problems, I changed brands. Injecta and Bishop are always listening to you and give you probable solutions. Instead reacting with send us the machine for service. FK Irons is not aware of the time and the cost it takes to send it to the states fro m the Netherlands . They treat you like number not a customer who buys your good but extremely overpriced machines..

That being said, don't buy the ones that cost >$30 because those are general market Chinese ones not designed by them.

    I'm a new tattoo apprentice, and as a black person who lives in a majority black city, I'll probably being tattooing a lot of black people. LOL. White ink is really tricky on black skin because from what I've seen, you don't even need to be in the sun for it to yellow, but on darker skin you'll never truly get a bold highlight because youre starting from a skin tone that is mid-dark.

      Darker skin is definitely a challenge. And you are right about the white.
      I never use it on anyone unless the specifically ask for it. Good luck with your apprenticeship!

    Anybody who has no interest for the good of humanity to not tattoo but just want to learn about it?
