How many licks


Had some time to kill tonight after coming home from the shop. I've been working on a painting of my lovely fiance but it's taking a long time for me to bring it to a completed piece. Working in oils is a painful process for me. So in the meantime, while I wait for layers to dry, I sketched this lolly girl.

New Machines.


So I ordered some FK Irons and I finally got them. I was so excited to use these machines because a lot of the tattooers I look up to and get inspiration from use this machines. I was like a little child and got in my head that these machines were magic makers. I finally got to use them amd sadly I was a little disappointed. I bought a liner and a color packer. Both have a much shorter throw than I'm used to and my coloring machine kept shorting out with a standard clip cord. After a few tattoos I switched over to RCA clip cords, adjusted my contact screw a hair on my liner. This seems to have helped a little but I still think for the amount of money these machines cost, you shouldn't have any problems what soever.
