- What is tattoo stroke? Simply it is how far your tattoo machine, pushes out the needle. The stroke effects the strength of impact the machine makes when it hits the skin.

Very good. This is a really important thing to know about this subject.
Thank you! Yes I didn’t know anything about this when I first started, very important thing to know.
Which is good info. I just now found out that a rotary machine for lining is different from a coil for lining. I’ve been trying to line at 4.2 with my rotary. Hard time. I swapped down to 3.6 and my line went in like butter. I was kind of upset with the noobness - but I learned a valuable lesson and then researched it only to find out I was trying to run my rotary like a coil. We are always learning. Good info.
Nice! Glad the info you’ve been applying is helping! Thanks for the compliment! 🙏🏾
So u could’ve used the 4.2 is u lowered the voltage ? Or what it just not good for lines ?
@@Servant_Of_God_richie_rich08 it was me. I was the issue. I changed my needle hang and that was it. I wasn’t getting enough ink for saturation. So I am now able to run crisp lines at 4.2 with my needle a little inside the cartridge tip/tube. I also have 2 4.0mm stroke machines and it also came down to me. I’ve learned a good bit since this post.
@@beau-jeremyhampton4195 Are you riding the tube?
Thank you sir. New to tattooing and this video had more information than other 30 minute tattoo videos i seen
i have both shader wand and packer,for me shader is the best, hard for me to use the packer. do you have and sugest how voltage to make packer have smooth shading
I say keep it at 6 volts maybe even 5.5
I dont speak english, but ... good vide bro, saludos desde lima - perú
Gracias! 🙏🏾
Right into point, without wasting anyone's time.
Very important tip for choosing a machine, and excellent explanation.
Thanks! 🙏🏾
What is the best stencil tattoo machine
Quite a few good ones on amazon. Idk what is the “best” honestly just about personal preference
Better description of stroke is how far the needle travels up and down in a cycle, not how far out the machine puts the needle that is depth adjustment/needle hang not stroke, also you called your wand packer the shader shader is the one with the silver/grey collar not the bronzs/brass color that is bishop wand packer, yes it can be used for shading but it's not the shader haha also I'd say the average stroke machine is 3.5 to 4mm not 3 to 3.5mm , most common by far Is 3.5 strokes
This video was for the sake of simplicity thats why I said it that way. Also I just realized I called mine the packer on accident. I guess the ones I looked at a lot had a short stroke 🤷🏾♂️
@@Qinks yours is the packer you mean you called it the shader
Was a typing accident, I know its the packer. I said it a hundred times over in my other videos
@Q Thinks I put the 3.5 cam from the shader onto my packer so I have the shader packer lol 😆 keep it up bro I like your videos your a great artist 👍
@@x_z0mb1_x thanks bro, and lol why’d you do that? how has that been doing for you? What are the benefits lol?
Hello. I am learning smp in Korea. What do you think is the best way to do the stroke in order to take the dot neatly
Short? Long?
Hello, depending on needle sizing. If they are below 3rl, I would use a lower stroke, such as 3.0 . If above a 5rl and above i would use 4.0
Thank you!!!! Damn every other video just says it hits hard or soft i need to know whats good to color, line and shade with and FINALLY!!! Thank you my guy!
No problem!
Can you run a 4.2 for a 14Rl?
Dude finally thank you so simple and the point I just found this …. I’m trying to buy a 4.2 but can I still do light shading and thin lines ?
Glad to help and yes I did it all with 4.2. Though I use a 3.5 recently and I find it easier to do those things with it
Can you give me a best voltage in 4.0 machine? For liner and shading please answers my question
No, learn to speak well first
@@PathOfDistrAction well, do you dont understand what i mean?
If u had a 5.0 couldn’t u just have less needle hang to prevent the “chainsaw” effect? Wouldn’t that reduce the amount of penetration? Seems like an easy fix no?
Not necessarily, since the effect comes from the power of the 5.0 throw. Longer strokes allow more striking power, so The machine just hits very hard.
@@Qinks thank u !! 🙌🏾
@@COSMLOOP No problem!
Hey bro would leaving the cartridge in the machine damage the machine? I tend to forget to pop them of and end up getting busy art blockers jaja
Umm no that won’t damage the machine. I would say just get in the habit of taking them off now so it doesn’t become a bad habit later.
@@Qinks True just noticed the membrane was being pressed on about half way out it by leaving them on have you noticed dif carts have dif size membranes also some have almost double the tension to push way to stiff im sure my machine doesnt like those but might be some favorites
What stroke is good for lining and shading
Depends on how you tattoo. Most artists would recommend a stroke at 4.0 and up for lining.
helps me a lot thanks man..
Glad to help!
Want a real good tip guys?, You can't teach someone to tattoo. Either you can or can't. And some of those who think they can , actually can't. #$adge
Thats major bs. So we all knew how to tattoo from the beginning? I think not. Yes someone can teach you what to do, but of course the learner still has to put in the work
It’s like being a barber or a nail tech it’s something with practice you develop don’t be out here tellin people they can’t do something just cause you was prolly told that and now you’re bitter I can cut hair better than lot of barbers and I’m self taught learned cutting my own hair fade and line up crisp asf now I got a tat machine in prolly a year or 2 I’ll be real good at it cause I got faith not takes time maybe more than 2 years but that what I’m shooting for
Practice practice practice
