    Amazing tips and information. I also want to add that although it may be obvious, it’s important to have your needles facing the same way the whole time especially when using a round liner. I noticed some people use the edge of the needles without realizing which makes line weight inconsistent. Thank you!

  • @xResourceHD
    @xResourceHD 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    My mentor taught me pulling lines and pushing lines create different thickness. So you should try and be consistent by either pulling or pushing all lines, not mix matching.

    • @ThatTattooGuyOfficial
      @ThatTattooGuyOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Interesting... I’d like to know the logic behind that.
      I’ve never seen a difference fresh or healed.
      Any time I want to change thickness I just switch needle grouping.

  • @simonkristiansen960
    @simonkristiansen960 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I got a somewhat, good question i think. Sometimes when i tattoo, and i dip the needle in ink, and tattoo sometimes i just can't get the ink to go down to the skin regardless of angle, like i have REALLY bad ink flow sometimes, and seems random, i like to have longer needle hang but only fix i can do is to make it real short the hang, it annoys me alot! i use bishop wand packer/shader+cheyennes, same thing, and same thing with all kind of cart's brands. It's super super wiard, have you tried anything similar? i have tried dipping JUST the tip of needle, running, not running, and having the tube all the way down, nothing works "sometimes", sometimes it does.

      Hey so I don’t use them just because of the maintaining aspect. All I have to do is make sure to clean them well after each tattoo. Some you have to put a drop of oil in every couple months. But they are very easy to deal with.

      Idk if you got an answer yet but make sure to put Vaseline or triple anti biotic ointment on before each touch of the needle to skin and to see if your voltage might be too high. As for connecting lines, that comes with practice but a good tip is to make a few ghost strokes (strokes above the skin) to get a feel for the area your trying to connect to. Hope this helps
