i just finished a tattoo last night i have a next generation machine as a shader im running it at about 100hz with a 1/8inch needle stroke and 46% duty cycle well when i was coloring my darker inks "dark purple" went in like butter which are thiner than the light purple i was having trouble with im using scream brand ink. its not the best on the market but i do like alot of the colors and usually dont have any problems with them its just this light purple that is giving me problems. and by the way this tattoo was being placed right below the colar bone on a female so theis skin is real soft. any information will be very helpfull thanks sac4life.

how do you like those next generation machines? i took a look at them a while back.are they all that the builder claims?

mine works good the coil cores are bigger than average so the abar is also big
they are supposed to be fully adjustable from liner to shader but with that big a bar that comes with it i just set mine up as a shader the tube vice is pretty tight hard to get my tubes in and out but it will loosen up over all a good machine i would not suggest buying one if you don't know how to adjust machines from liner to shader like i said i have 4 main machines so its set up and that is how it will stay if its your only machine and you half to Chang back and forth from a liner to a shader it would suck better to just have a liner and a shader. but like i said its a great machine over all a little spendy though i want to try the half coils they have

im with you on that aspect,set em up as either and leave them as such.i have several machines to do a variety of applications.gives me more speed and percision that way,thanx for the reply
