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.
