Ive watched so many of the tattooing 101 videos and your advice has always been well researched and usually spot on. Thank you for your time. Teaching us newbies can't be easy. lol. And don't ever lose your candidness. It's rare. 🤘
I'm just starting out, and this video was very helpful. Because I've already been drawing/doing art for quite some time and also have alot of tattoos, I already know what style/types of tattoos im interested in doing. This helped give me a better idea of which machine(s) will be best for me/my work. Thank you 😊
After watching tons of videos, I purchased the Mast flip due to the versatility of changing the strokes 2.6mm,2.9mm,3.2mm,3.5mm,3.8mm, 4.0mm. I can't wait to try it.
What You think about Mast Wraith soft hard adjustable rotary pen machine? Is it a good choice for someone good skilled in drawing, but beginning with tattooing ?
I spend thousands....first 5 years I used coils and I started experimenting with rotaries and pen style machines ...I even started using the battery powered wireless pens just to end up back to my coils lol.....I do use a Dan kubin and bowers rotary but mostly coils now I just like the audible feedback
I have a Dan Kubin as well its just a lot to learn how to bend the needle bars correctly to have them run without spitting. But they are a great machine just wouldn't recommend one to someone first starting out.
@@Tattooing101 oh no they looked themselves I put the needle on backwords and use a thick rubber bard and uf it spit I just let it spit first in my tonel then I line
I really like the traditional art specifically from Lew the Jew and then Sailor Jerry. I just want to do it as a hobby and maybe never go off practice skin. I am leaning away from the traditional machine, because my last few tattoos were done at a shop with younger artists who only use the rotary style and they say it more comfortable. Do you have any suggestions?
I think coils are best for learning because of give. Workhorse Irons are what I apprenticed with. Irons help build muscle memory and reduce shaky lines. Probably not a good idea to start with rotaries. No gives. You can really hurt someone.
I presume it's a liability issue for them but damn does it suck that Workhorse and others won't sell to the public. I shouldn't have to make something my career in order to be even allowed to practice on some synthetic skin, and I should be able to fuck up my own skin after the fact if I want to!
i has used 10 year old coil machines, and fight all to trash about 4000$ many machine, when i used pen machine first time, all work have lot better now last 5 year i has used now only pen machines, lot better all works have now not newer use shit coil gun again.
First thing i was taught when i got my first coiled machones was to take it fully apart and put it back together time and time again till i no longer needed to think about the steps to do it..... then tuning to meet ur requirements and how to ajust for skin differences if you dont have multiple machines
Dawg ur so helpful! I’ve been looking for actually recommendations and tips. Sadly those machines are expensive but I’m totally getting a mast machine for now and build up my experience. Thank you!
Awesome videos and easy to understand, would a 4mm stroke need to be at a certain voltage for beginning? I am just starting out on fake skin using a mast archer. But am looking to upgrade for my apprenticeship
Hey, did you ever get a machine to practice with? I’ve got one of the cheap AF eBay machines and I can 100% see why this person isn’t recommending them. It’s a piece of crap. 😂
Bruh I’m just trying to find a gun that’s not $500 plus to practice on some fake skin like as a beginner it’s not very smart for people to be picking up these hella expensive machines but great video lol
Machines last long, so if you have the money it’s best to just start off with the machine you will eventually actually tattoo with if you’re dead set on it
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……. Why learn on a cheap machine?
Do the inks ever leak stored like they are on the wall?. Starting to run out of bench space for display, and love that concept, did you make the combs? or purchase? those are the 1 oz bottles no?
As someone who has recently become almost obsessive over the art of tattooing and the history of it I find myself wanting to learn how to tattoo I am the furthest thing from an artist but have learned there’s alot more to tattooing than drawing dope ass sketches and what not, but my plan was to get a machine and some ink and a couple pieces of fake skin and see if I can’t draw something cool and maybe in a year or two get proficient enough to touch skin? The last thing I’d ever wanna do is insult a professional tattoo artist but I’m literally just looking to start doing some art snd any suggestions on machines or supplies would be greatly appreciated. Literally just wanna start a new hobby and see if I can’t get decent at it or at least good enough to tattoo myself lol
You say you’ve become obsessed about the history, so I’m confused why you’d choose to be a scratcher ? You will do yourself a world of good to take arts classes, grow and build a portfolio and take the authentic apprentice route
@@tijuas3425no but tattooing literally involves permanently altering someone’s skin and needles going into people which can be very very unsafe and lead to terrible blood borne pathogens without proper instruction and teaching on the specific sanitation tattooing needs. It’s not always about money some people causing harm to others due to being unsafe can ruin the reputation of tattoo artists everywhere (which has improved greatly compared to when they were mostly notorious for gangs and bikers, take Japan for example) and not only harm peoples entire career reputation it’s dangerous for the clients and especially the scratcher themselves since almost everyone’s first tattoo is on themself and a bad tattoo/injury can lead to irreversible career damage for the artist who did it
@@Jaggjihdrghj You dont have to follow history to appreciate it. In this day and age, working for free for a year or 2 is NOT possible. We dont have parents and family to live with, and were paying 10X more to live than ever before. Times are changing. Gate keepers can die mad about it.
With rotary machines, are they better at the lower price points? Like if I bought a $200 machine. Is the pen going to be the worse at that price point?
Hi, the first machine must be very bad to clean or do you put the bag over all coil machine to protect it from blood, ink and so on? I think this machines are not very hygienic
You are correct, the purpose of wrapping everything up is to minimise your machines contact with blood, plasma, and blood borne pathogens. Even with wrapping your machines, you will still need to clean them thoroughly with an autoclave machine
I belive if some one would come up with a shop that sell tattoo stuff And specialize in disposable grips for all tattoo pins no matter what make or model They would make good money i belive .with all these new tattoo artist bye tattoo pen machine most of them do not have Disposable grips
mast have good machine start and pro, cheap but good machine, today pen gun have best option use, i fight my all old coil gun to trash i has used first pen machine, pen machine have lot better use than all my old shit coil machine has, i has 200-700$ coil machines and all fight to trash and buy dragonhawk pen machines all new. last 5 year has used only pen machine and my works have lot better than before shit coil machine has.
Im looking at a narkysus tattoo gun is it good? it'll be my first tattoo gun. tires of tattoo ships in TN trying to charge way to much so I decided I would do my own whenever I can start learning lol
Im doing lot of micro 1RL and 3RL, scripts and now from time to time polynesian. What would you recommend - i had in mind flight nano, valhalla, xion or peak solice pro? Pls can you help with advice
What gives the "give" besides the 3.0 stroke the injecta? Swash plate? Have a CNC Q2 already that has a direct drive but a soft motor similar to the Bishop shader. Have both a 3.0 and 4.0 stroke for it so thinking of making that either a dedicated liner or shader and getting another. Any suggestions?
Bro buying my 14 year old her first kit I’ve watched ur video I’m looking for something cheap since she’s just practicing right now . I heard u say a dragon hawk mast tattoo kit . Can u specify exactly which one ?
This is not good information if you just want to practice. I just want to get an idea of what to get cheap to just practice in fake skins or a grapefruit. I don't want to go $500+ deep when I don't even know if I want to do it later. I actually need something from Amazon that i get the practice in... did I mentioned Prime day is coming?😂
Don’t you think that a injekta machine is a little bit expensive for a beginner? I am in Spain and it cost around 700€ - 800€… plus the grip and the others more accessories that you must need to get.
If tattooing is a career that you plan on getting into, then think of it as an investment. Instead of buying 1 machine when you're a beginner then buying another machine when you want to upgrade from being a novice, to another machine when you become a pro.
I make tatto from age 17 .. i finish school art and i also make myself my tattoo machine! I suggest you all to buy (if u want to buy) the low price machine tattoo! Why??? Because they all started with low machine and no one will tell you!!!
Heej , i want top buy the Cheyenne Hawk Pen for 570€ ... Is there a battery inside? Can i start to tattoo with this or is missing something like Power Adapter ,foot Pedal or something ? Then its 1100€ 😱🤣thx for answer ♥️
Could someone please explain when it comes to the injekta flite nano what are the bars for ?? I’m just looking for the ones that only need a cartridge I’m not trynna spend 1000 for my first machine
The best machine to start tattooing with is a direct drive rotary machine by peak it’s called the peak nebula I love it because it’s got an adjustable stroke from 1.5 all the way up to 5 so it can do it all however any pen will work to now days as far as coil machines blahhhhhh there too loud too inconsistent if you don’t know how to tune them then your f..cked and your hands go numb all the time just save yourself the head ache and stay with a direct drive or a pen
Though there are not 'legendary machines' that work for everybody, there are plenty of 'legendary machines' that dont work for anybody. Try not to get one of those.

Can you do a video on how to do everything with the inkjecta flite nano machine like how to change things out and how things work on it?
Great video, do you think a V6 bronc would be better than a Cheyenne? 😊
Which tattoo machine would you recommend for begginer to make dotwork and geometric patterns?

Dawg ur so helpful! I’ve been looking for actually recommendations and tips. Sadly those machines are expensive but I’m totally getting a mast machine for now and build up my experience. Thank you!
Do you know the acus M1? A wireless pen.
Interchangeable strokes with motor control.
It's incredible. The best machine currently on
the market🔥
Awesome videos and easy to understand, would a 4mm stroke need to be at a certain voltage for beginning? I am just starting out on fake skin using a mast archer. But am looking to upgrade for my apprenticeship
I’ve been tattooed by the one of the co-creators of the inkjecta machine, these machines are great to be tattooed with.

so if you have a pen machine, your only option for grips is disposable or autoclave? are there any sterilization options other than the autoclave
What do you think about the bishop OG machines still worth in 2024 if I can’t afford the 1300$ bishop wand ?
Thx Brandon this was very helpful in my decision on which machine would work better starting out.

3.5
Best place to find professional used machines (knowing what to look for)

Buy a cheap Ambition tourped. Great machine, and for the pricing, you can't go wrong on the purchase
@@anonymousprepper1463 im looking for long term now :) price range up to 900 $

A 14 year old really should not be handling medical equipment. Especially not on real skin. Blood borne pathogens are no joke.
which one did you end buying your daughter ?
I use a black Bird cartridge pen, hasn't missed a beat
Does anyone know which grips will fit the inkjecta flight nano?
Ambition Soldier is awesome
Should I by a cheap coil tattoo kit to learn on?
I would recommend getting a pen style machine or a rotary if you are first starting out. Way easier to just pick up and be able to use.

hi Brandon , do you had the chance to try the bishop wand packer machine ?. I here really good things about it !
What do you think about CNC machines?
cnc used wood and metal work carve and mill parts, tattoo machine adding ink to human skin, lot different all.
“MAST PRO ARCHER 4.2mm STROKE”
Everyone go buy one 🙏🔥 I highly recommend them
My daughter is 13 and wants a tattoo gun. $60 on Amazon sounds like a great deal for something to start out on.
I just like out line art just a single needle and little shading simple tattoos (I would say)
I am starting as an apprentice in a few weeks and searching for machines. What do you think about wireless ones? (Mast Archer) Should I prefer?
I would recommend a inkjecta and you can. Get the critical battery packs if you want wireless
this dude looks like lil moco 😂😂thats dope as hell
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I forgot about that dude
I've got all 3
Do u have a website where we can buy that machine i hope u answer me !!!

Iv never understood why a beginner would need or use a different machine than a pro.
A rotary for first starting out ??? Don’t you need a special machine to clean those needles
