WOW! That looks amazing! I would love to see the full finished tat ^.^

Thank you for the comment and the +fave!!! I will be posting it as we progress. Next session will be somewhere around two weeks from now!

That is great ^.^ Can't wait

Right on. Did you get a picture of the linework?

Yes! It does have some of the shading in it, but you can see what it's covering up. I was going to post it today.

EPIC DRAGON-KOI IS EPIC! >3

looking forward to more pics!

I'll have another one up today, with a better look at the tattoo itself.

Sweeeeeeeet! cant wait!

Cool tat! thats a really narrow tube O.O, doesn't your hand kill you after a session?

Actually, I have small hands, so it's very comfortable. I can move my machine a lot better too. I work 5-6 hours at a time sometimes and my hand doesn't cramp up at all.

Wow! I use the papillion 1'' steel grips for all my work because the pulse machines I use are very heavy. What machine is that your using? It looks like a Huck spaulding from the thumb screw

It is a Huck Spaulding! I was using the Quick Change Stinger, but I recently rebuilt it. It was a kit, and I hand built it to get to know my machine better.

I've since rebuilt it, since I had a coil go bad. I have another frame laying around here somewhere. I guess I should put that one together too!

Spaulding!? Blasphemy! *sprays you with holy water* XD

but seriously though, try switching out he coils and capacitor for pulse international, they run cooler and more consistent. sadly huch is not reputable for good coils,

Im actually selling a time machine for 120 dollars (yes that freaking cheap)

I actually rebuilt the machine, and not long ago. It did get hot when I worked for hours, and I don't have that problem since the rebuild. I ran it for about 4 years before my coils went bad. I actually had a capacitor blow on one of my other machines right after I bought it. I rebuilt that one as well. They both run like fuckin' tops now.

who spun your coils? I only trust, pulse, workhorse and Buzz.

Not sure. LOL! I got them last minute from a small tattoo supply in St. Louis. I tested them hard before I set them to work, and they are wonderful! They don't get hot at all and they don't sputter, just solid as hell. My machines haven't run better!

I'm really glad I bought them. I had a capacitor blow, and I had appointments the next two days after I got back from Indiana.

Sputter? I never heard of that before, are you sure your connection on your binding posts didnt just temporarily give out? Or maybe it was out of tune, I know Huck sends his machines with alot of tension on the rear spring and little in the front. Thats why I dont buy from next gen, they do a 18 gauge front spring and a 20 guage back spring...no harmony whatsover

but thats cool! what was the supplier? I am in the market for new parts :3

Tattoo U Supply. Normally, I wouldn't order from her, but she's all I got for last minute supplies. Very sweet chick though! She gets a lot of business!

Normally, I order from Cam. I just didn't have a week to get my order.
