Stick Figure

I have very little time to post these days.  This was just too fun not to, and it is by far the most complicated tattoo produced by anyone this year.

Mahalo.

Machine Adjustments

So, after using my new liner machine from forward tattoo I decided to make a few changes. It wasn’t hitting like I feel a liner should.

First off I put some $ on it. Nuff said.

Secondly I adjusted the gap behind the armature bar and made it smaller like a liner is intended. And then just set my gap for the contact so it hit harder.

No luck, but this liner is a great shader.

I am sure I will keep adjusting this machine until I dial it in as I like it.

New tattoo machine from Forward Tattoo

So I was just surfing the net and came across Forward Tattoo, a machine builder selling custom machines. So I said fuck it and bought a new tattoo machine from them.

The first thing I noticed that I do not like about this machine is that it has no money on it.  That is probably because this machine builder doesn't know why that is even a thing.  

You have to have $ on your $ maker.

It is really pretty but can it do the job of a Cain machine?  I had them wrap it in Wassily Kandinsky "Composition #8" prints.  Composition #8 is my absolute favorite painting of all time and well why the hell not.

I will test this good looking machine out for the next few weeks to see how I feel about it.
