Tattoo Needle Depth Settings-Tattooing 101

How far do you hang out your needle?
Do you prefer a shorter or longer needle depth setting?
In this video I share with you all a visual demonstration on the differences when using different needle hangs. I won't use any measurements or anything like that in this video but I will show you a visual demonstration and a real time demonstration of the differences on different needle hangs.
For me personally I prefer to hang my tattoo needle out quite a bit and for a couple of good reasons. I prefer to hang my needle out a bit further because I am able to see my needle tip much easier while keeping my tattoo site as clean as possible. When I hang my needle out further as demonstrated in this video my tattoo process tends to be more cleaner and I am able to sink 1 pass lines every time because of my needle tip visibility.
Needle hang will vary from artist to artist. I have seen some artist ride the tube, I have seen others have a moderate to mid setting, and I have seen others just hang that needle way out there. To each their own.
The point of this video is to shed some light on needle hang and to demonstrate the differences between different settings and what we can accomplish as well as why. This concept also applies to round liners and round shaders and results may vary from needle cartridge to needle cartridge. Please note for round mags the approach is a bit different following some key fundamentals.
