Tattoo Machine Combo
Looking for a decent affordable tattoo machine?
My tattoo machine now is going out and i would like to upgrade anyways. im not familiar with machines. i have about a 250 spending limit on the machine itself, and i have been looking at joker tattoo, world wide tattoo, and supply. so far i have found a few. but i dont know if i should get a liner/shader combo, or if i should just one of each, and if so. i dont know if an 8 coil or 11 is the way to go. ive also been using ichiban ink for black. and ive been using jokertattoo for color. anyone have any suggestions on color. i like ichiban but they dont have a lot of colors haha. skin candy is an option..but is the price worth the ink for them. or is prism better for color? anyways. ive been tattooing for about 8 months. so im still new to the stuff. and im working at getting my license. any input would help a lot..thank you
You're off to a good start with Joker supply. Stay away from Worldwide until you know whats good. $250 is good for some machines such as Pulse, Micky Sharpz, Paco Rollins or maybe a Workhorse. I would go with the one of each (liner and shader) as they both have different frame geometry and different purposes. 8-10 coil is fine, I know a lot of artist who mix blacks and use different blacks for different things. What has worked for me is talens indian ink for everything...lining and shading. I occasionally use Kuro Sumi gray wash and Pelican for wash. As for color, I use Starbrite and some Intenze. I'm getting a set of Eternal, Fusion and some Waverly. Of course you will need a license to purchase most of the above items..if not all of the above items.
