Tattoo Stroke Explained 

Which is good info. I just now found out that a rotary machine for lining is different from a coil for lining. I’ve been trying to line at 4.2 with my rotary. Hard time. I swapped down to 3.6 and my line went in like butter. I was kind of upset with the noobness - but I learned a valuable lesson and then researched it only to find out I was trying to run my rotary like a coil. We are always learning. Good info.

helps me a lot thanks man..

Very good. This is a really important thing to know about this subject.

Thank you sir. New to tattooing and this video had more information than other 30 minute tattoo videos i seen

Right into point, without wasting anyone's time. Very important tip for choosing a machine, and excellent explanation.

What is the best stencil tattoo machine

Better description of stroke is how far the needle travels up and down in a cycle, not how far out the machine puts the needle that is depth adjustment/needle hang not stroke, also you called your wand packer the shader shader is the one with the silver/grey collar not the bronzs/brass color that is bishop wand packer, yes it can be used for shading but it's not the shader haha also I'd say the average stroke machine is 3.5 to 4mm not 3 to 3.5mm , most common by far Is 3.5 strokes

Thank you!!!! Damn every other video just says it hits hard or soft i need to know whats good to color, line and shade with and FINALLY!!! Thank you my guy!

Can you run a 4.2 for a 14Rl?

Hello. I am learning smp in Korea. What do you think is the best way to do the stroke in order to take the dot neatly Short? Long?

Dude finally thank you so simple and the point I just found this …. I’m trying to buy a 4.2 but can I still do light shading and thin lines ?

Can you give me a best voltage in 4.0 machine? For liner and shading please answers my question

What stroke is good for lining and shading

Hey bro would leaving the cartridge in the machine damage the machine? I tend to forget to pop them of and end up getting busy art blockers jaja

If u had a 5.0 couldn’t u just have less needle hang to prevent the “chainsaw” effect? Wouldn’t that reduce the amount of penetration? Seems like an easy fix no?

Want a real good tip guys?, You can't teach someone to tattoo. Either you can or can't. And some of those who think they can , actually can't. #$adge
