short stroke and run about 6.5v don't need a lot of volts as not using a lot of needles.
set the gap to 1.25mm this is done by depressing the armature bar down and screwing the contact screw until you get the 1.25mm gap between the tip of the contact screw and the front spring. hope this helps.
dime= 1.25mm gap for liner set up
nickel= 1.85mm gap for shading set up
as stated above, make sure the machine is running at smoothly not choppy sounding. If you are a beginner there are tattoo power supplies that will help aid the tuning for you (cyclone 360 etc..) they will show voltage, speed of machine, the misfire.
outline 6.0volts to 8.5volts, 50% on the duty cycle and between 110 - 120 on the cycle and follow throigh at zero 0. info>> http://instores.info
You'll need to know about springs and capacitors and have at least some knowledge of how a tattoo machine works - Firstly you will want a stiff front spring and a soft rear spring with a low angle of deflection on the armature bar. A liner should run fast but soft so as not to damage the skin as all the force of the machine is concentrated at the needle tip. You should also look into getting lower core coils (8-10 wraps) and a low capacitor as you don't want a lot of magnetic force pulling on the armature bar. If you don't know what all this means then I would strongly suggest buying a liner rather than turning a shader into one. It's easy to ruin a good machine if you don't know what your doing when you change it's components - go to 'Eikon device' and look at their downloadable pdf's on the subject
That is a loaded question. It depends on what you are doing with it, line work, shading work, the person you are working on (deep skin, hard skin, thick skin, paper skin) etc. To be very honest if you don't already know how to set one up, visit your local tat shop and ask them if you can 'sit in' and learn; setting it up is as much art as it is instructions. You are talking about sticking a needle (set of needles) inside someones' body, thousands of times per second, and having to get it right the first time - without injury (real injury) or infection (to you or them). Play it safe.
Each artist finds and performs different settings for their personal machine, allowing the artist to feel comfortable using the machine. The type of skin the client has, along with the size or type of tattoo, determines the setting of the machine and the power supply. Plug in the power supply and attach the cord to the tattoo machine. Place the tube in the tattoo machine and insert the needle in the tube. Tap the foot pedal to ensure the machine is working. Adjust the springs on the tattoo machine to control the depth. Apply pressure with the hand that holds the machine, pressing down into the skin for more depth after adjusting the springs. Turn the voltage of the power supply up to adjust the speed. The more voltage, or higher setting, of the power supply equals a quicker speed. A lower speed is optimal for tattooing bony areas of the body and high speeds for fleshy parts.
The tattoo power supply should be set under 3V for machine. some useful parameter: Tattoo machine: 3-15V, Starting 3V,working under 6-9V. Tattoo power supply: input AC:110V-220V conversion, output DC: 0-15V conversion, starting work under 3V.
To be honest I wouldn't suggest doing any tattoos with a homemade tattoo machine. You can pick up a good cheap professional kit off the net, google it. And as for shading the piece, you may wish to go to your local tattoo shop and ask a few questions and/or watch them. But do not use a homemade machine you will never really get the look your striving to achieve.
to do the outline on a tattoo you need a needle called a liner for instance you could use a 14 round liner. now for shading you need a shader which is another kind of needle now you can use a 14 round shader or a 14 flat mag shader that answer your question and an p.s you can get a needle any size they can go as small as 1 all the way up to a 49 flat and so on
Power is fed from a supply unit to a handheld electromagnet tattoo machine. The cycle of power is fed into the magnets in opposite polarity thereby making a flexed armature bar move upwards and downwards at a fast rate of speed to which a needle is fixed upon. The speed of the needle's movement is regulated by the power supply, and the depth of same is determined by the placement of the tube. The overall tension of the machine is regulated by gap of same from the contact screw to the front spring and the angle of the contact screw plays a major role in the proper running of the machine.
22uf 8 wrap liner (probably too FAST), 33uf 8 or 10 wrap still fast but more steady power, and 47 uf 10 or 12 wrap color . slower harder hitting . remember 8 wrap is liner, 10 is liner /shader (set up like a liner) and 12 wraps 47uf is only for big mag set up.
A tattoo machine's speed is so very widely variable that an estimate would do no good. You could use a weak coil machine with a lot of spring tension on a low power source and it will go really slow. But say you use a double contact liner at high power and it goes fast. Even a single machine can be a slow shader or a fast liner. You'll never find a straight up answer, sorry.
The machine used for shading should be the one set up with the longest front spring as well as armature bar. Set the contact point gap at about a nickel's width for shading, a dime's width for lining. Run the tattoo machine for shading slightly slower. Don't go bigger than a five mag for beginners. Use it like a brush.
Rejuvi tattoo removal delivers the removal formula using a tattoo or permanent make-up machine. The treatment can only be performed by a tattoo or permanent make-up artist.
A three round liner or five round liner (3RL or 5RL) is the most common but it does depend on the look you are after and the overall effect it has on the tattoo, the colours involved, the shading in the colours if any etc. One liners are also available and used for super fine lines like in portrait eyelashes etc. For tribals and the like it won't matter too much but better with a 5RL so that you can use it to fill the corners before you begin with the shader.
they use normally tattoo guns they just set they up how they like dem
The power supply setting depends on the machine (tuning and such). If you run it wrong, you will tear up the skin and/or scar them. Dont tattoo anyone until you learn how to use your machine properly. Dont wing it...its not as easy as it looks..and the marks are forever.
Do u mean what is a 3 round liner tattoo needle used for? The 3 represents how many needles total, and round means they are arranged in a circle as opposed to lined up beside one another, liner means it is used for making lines. A 3RL is most commonly used for tattooing very fine lines in small or very detailed tattoos or lettering.
Try youtube they have everything

The past tense of the verb 'set' is also 'set'.
ask someone.
