bought my own tattoo machine
 

so i got tired of investing so much in my local tattoo shop so i bought my own machine to try it out... not to hard but probably easier on someone else but this is my first just got done with it a min ago... what ya think?

Re: bought my own tattoo machine
 

I would go to a shop the line work is pretty ratty:2cents

Re: bought my own tattoo machine
 

itll come with time im happy with it being as it was on myself and first try
also done without a stencil

Re: bought my own tattoo machine
 

pretty damn good for a self done tat

Re: bought my own tattoo machine
 

what size needle were you useing,how many amps,/throw??
and its actualy easier to tatt yerself then someone else since you can feel how deep to go or not go...
not bad for first try....
let it heal real good,then go back over the out line with a bigger needle to hide the blow outs...:cheers

ok when learning,you should use thicker needles,it will help with hand shake,and make the lines alil smoother,plus you can work off the tip...
use a 7 round liner,(which i am using now and its a great allaround size..)
round shaders are hard to work with when your new,cause they can fuck up skin quick...like you said it just takes time..
heres my 21st tattoo
