stippling

i used a 5 liner once early in my tattoo career and hated it. ive never used a 5 or anything less since.

but today i shaded a whole tattoo with a 1 liner using the red rotary i made last night.

tons of new stuff...

thank you.

and some switcheez










happy new year

did this one today. love me some black, no matter what the subject matter is.



and im totally using this as reference for a painting. metal.

hand made clipcord

so i already build machines and footswitches from scratch, i figured id take a shot at a clipcord. i was shocked in my final outcome.

so i started with some speaker wire, a 1/4" phono plug, two needle bars, some hard fiber material from clip-boards, and some spring stock. in about 5 minutes i had this:



i plugged it into my eikon meter, and ran one of my machines with one of my footswitches. i had it at about 6 volts and it sounded like i was running it at 20 volts!

i turned it down to 3.25 volts and it ran really strong and hard, like it would have before at 6 volts. the only difference was the clipcord.

since i have started tattooing, ive been using cheap chinese clipcords, and didnt really think anything of it, but after making this one, i realized i used way better quality wire and 1/4" plug, making it easier to run at lower volts. im stoked.
