    What are you hitting with the screwdriver at the end to take a little more tension off?

    • @mrcrowleybr
      @mrcrowleybr 3 роки тому

      Maybe the screw that puts the strings and armature bars together or the back spring below that screw. While the machine runs, it's slightly moving so when hit, it bends a little bit back straighter, making it a bit stiffer which causes the front spring to move a bit nicer.

  • @PoppyB2011
    @PoppyB2011 3 роки тому +1

    I just got two starter kit DragonHawk machines. They will not function under a solid 8. I used them, and only noticed after the fact that one of them had a spot on the contact spring on the armature bar. It seems like the metal is "bad?" In that there is a caustic sort of spot on it. Would that cause less conductivity and make the machine run badly? Or is it just a cheap box/machine combo and I should maybe invest in a better quality rotary machine? I've taken them both apart twice, put them back together, set everything, tuned them. I'm not sure if the box/pedal is weak? Or if it's the guns? I'm trying to learn, and I want to learn the right way. Any suggestions on which guns are the best for a beginner? and would that corroded spot on the spring have anything to do with the machine running badly? By the way, I love these videos. Some of the best out there. Thanks for helping to make better artists, making better art. Thanks!!!

      I am not an expert, but I have a starter kit dragon hawk set from Amazon and I have tried a thousand times to tattoo at a 6, 7, and 8 and I have to go up in voltage because it doesn’t work. Also I have done research after research and the foot pedal on these starter kits goes out very fast. Not only that, but a lot of time I have to put it on 12 or 13, tap the pedals a bit and then go back down to between 8-9. It seems a normal machine can do 6-7-8, but to achieve that with theses dragon hawks, I have to start between 8-10.

    • @briemonae7599
      @briemonae7599 3 роки тому

      If I was you, I would invest in a different machine, but if you have the time, WATCH TONS AND TONS of videos on UA-cam. That helped me a lot and after buying a ok-ish dragon hawk coil machine and it was terrible, I switched to a tattoo pen and I love it. I love the traditional coil, but now I am truly in love with my Pen. If you love to write or draw, the pen might be for you. I was scared at first, but got the bundle for it and I love it. Can’t put it down. Never used fake skin. Instantly started tattooing my body once I got it and now I can’t stop.

      @@briemonae7599 Thanks so much Brie. I was just waiting for a confirmation on that to go ahead and order a pen, or even a rotary machine. I appreciate traditionalism, but this machine is horrible. I don't think it's me? I want to get started, and I'm afraid that finagling around with these ding dong coil machines might set me back on time learning actual application onto skin, trying to figure out the dynamics of the power supply vs setting the needles just so, and the hit and drag on the coil. I struggled with wanting to so easily default to a pen actually because I want to learn how to use the coil machines, but I also want to learn how to actually tattoo within this decade. LOL I'm an artist in oil and acrylic on canvas, not really great at drawing, so I need to get better at that too. I don't want to use stencils forever, although I'm not opposed to them, I do need to learn. Thanks again Brie Good luck to you in your career!!! I hope you always get to do what you love and make a fortune doing it!! ♥ I really appreciate your feedback. Well ... I'm off to load cartridges, and ride the tube! LOL

      sounds like you don’t even understand the need to replace springs in a machine. even if you’re happy with the size and shape of the springs you bought, they’re gonna wear out and need replacing with use. there’s a few basic principles to how machines run properly, everything else is preference. do some research before spouting off next time.
