HI, Thank you so much for making this tutorial. It was so much easier to follow than so many other videos!! I'm just starting out and now it makes sense! I can't wait to get better at this, I love it so much...I have enjoyed getting tattoos for so long, this feels like a natural progression from getting to giving...I have so far to go but I'm loving learning about it all..
Awesome job covering the small details! Every detail is important to know how to do correctly...it's not like there's a lot of room for error when you're tattoing people! This video really helped me a lot! Subscribed!
I found someone that explained a lot that I needed. But with yours you go into more detail that I never thought of. So by far... you are the best in my book.
Oh man! I’ve just bought a Coil Machine to stop cutting myself due to depression and start focusing my instability into small tags on my legs. I was able to put it all together but I had an insane need for a simple, laid back and detailed instructional video on the matter. Thanks, bruh!
I get these free from my work. 😂 yes I have to work while I’m learning to tattoo. I believe this year I’ll be able to tattoo full time. Already got some solid clientele. I did free tattoos for a year. But now. No more free stuff. Some people got mad at that. People get used to getting free tattoos and forget that this is my life 😢
i love how you explain everything, really professional video style as well as the knowledge you share :) love that! i just started as an apprentice so this is very useful as a precursor! thank you!
Just wanted to say thanks for the video. Been watching a lot here lately learning what I can and yours are always informative and helpful! Love the accent as well 😊!
Thank you so much for this video. I recently started tattooing and had a rotary machine first, I got now a coil from my friend and your video was exactly what I was looking for :D
Hi, Your videos are so helpful. I have a problem though, I set up my machine and it seems (I have no idea) to be running ok, and I managed to tattoo a couple of oranges but sometimes the needle slides from side to side in the tube while I'm doing a line. Even if i'm really slow and careful and sometimes when it does slide to the edge of the tube it make the needles go really deep and I know that's not right...What am I doing wrong?
There could be a few issues. The main thing I’d check is the tension on the needle bar, as in the bend and the bands. And the orientation of the needle in the tube.
AAAAAAAAAH thank you so much!! I’ve been trying to get this machine to work for a month now, I could hardly understand the paper instructions lol. Good lookin out🙏🏽
My tattoo needle has stopped sticking out of the tube! I have tried adjusting the tube back to have more depth but it ends up hitting the rotary, what can i do?
this might be dumb and i havent looked at your other videos yet but attaching the wiring to the coil properly is something I have a little concern about.
Hi, nice tutorial with many extra tips and tricks. However, I would've loved more of a close-up point of view of the macine assembly. I'm trying to assemble my very first machine, for the very first time, with no specific tutorial available. Might you consider making a slow, beginner friendly walk-through of how to assemble a coil machine, the functions of all the parts, how to connect to power, how to pick up ink; in short: a 101 lesson for those starting at level 0?
what does the contact screw/contact set screw do? I don't think you said anything about that in the video. I think that's what it's called, I looked up a labeled picture of parts and that's what it said.
brother i no what i seen 1000 vids and go away with my head fryed i am more a custom airbrushing guy but we all in to art and to be real; hay big up u sir say in clear to the point and only i can wish u good its not just info its giving people some love postive and helping them life m8 i tip may hat to u sir
Damn real good tips! I recently used a machine for the first time on myself, but had the needle way too far out, didn't realize to actually correct it when setting up. And it also kept jamming, so the little curve would help on that department I suppose. Thanks mate, appreciate the video
Very helpful video! Great quality as well. Makes it so much easier to actually see the pieces you're talking about! Too many low res instructional videos on here.
please let me know if I’m wrong, but if you undo the screws on the grip after the tattoo session, they’re contaminated right ? don’t you contaminate your your screwdriver and cross contaminate your next grip then ? I always use single use grips but I actually like the steel ones more, the only reason I don’t use them is I don’t want to buy an autoclave.. they’re so pricey
You are actually correct. I have never seen anyone use a grub screw grip with disposable tips. You can easily find a set up like I use the grips use a collet to close and don't require a tool just a quarter turn.
Oh but to be thorough though you should still autoclave the grips between uses even if you use disposable tips. While small just like the grub screw there is a chance for ink to climb the needle bar or spray to contaminate the inside of the tube so it needs to be disinfected and sterilized also. I don't know in your area but in mine the best source for autoclaves are dental supply companies. Those that sell used equipment will usually have autoclaves in stock where studios have upgraded and you can pick them up relatively cheap. Think of it this way. I have steel tubes that are 25 plus years old and have been used thousands of times. That is far more ecological than disposable tubes and over time it is cheaper. If you are spending 3 to 4 dollars a day on disposables you are only 2 years from paying for an autoclave. Good luck
There are a few differences, but all in all your just trying to puncture the skin as consistent as possible. Both will do this but in slightly different ways. I’ve got videos on some of the differences of these machines.
it will make a difference, it will increase the tension on the needle bar the greater the amount of bands. the trick is to find the sweet spot where you have enough tension to stop the movement in the needle but not so that it causes the machine to work harder than I needs to.
Good info but had a bit of difficulty seing you set up a black machine on a black bench, black gloves too. The overhead shots would have been better as close ups and the bench would them have been ok if you movred the white light so the reflection was under the machine...would have made it clearer and the machine would have looked more three dimensional. Green light might be moody but didn't help the clarity of what you were doing at all. Purely creative crit, found the tutorial useful and enjoyed it thanks.
It all depends where you work and what the laws are. You don't have to bag your machine everywhere even though you should anyways. Clip cords I believe are mandatory everywhere.
I am just getting into tattooing, I have not done anything on real skin yet just practice skin. The issue I am having is that sometimes the needle does not want to slide and will get caught on the fake skin and like bend and bog out a little. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong there? Do I have too much of the needle sticking out possibly?
The set of hex keys are contaminated now too. They also need to be autoclaved/disinfected before you use them again! Not sure why this was not discussed.
Maybe I missed it, but isn't electricity used to run a machine and isn't that part of the set-up to use it? If not, my bad. But if electricity is used to run the machine, maybe that's something that should be included in a setup video? Just a wild guess here...I'm no Genius or anything here
Obviously and he showed how to set it up not run it! Why does someone always have to find anything they can to complain about? If you like it say thanks if not why not just not subscribe or like and go on about your day? Makes no sense..
Dude i cant see any part of what you’re doing after you put the needle through. You’re just spewing out this and that while indicating at something covered by your glove
I didn't hear you explain how to put the wires on to make the gun go? Isn't that the most important part? Why would you leave the most important part out? Thumbs down for ignorant neglegiance
Your detail on how to bend and insert the needle was super helpful!
For sure bro. Save cash and the polar bears.
Glad it helped bro.

The BEST tutorial I have watched by far.. clear, to the point, perfect! I am subbed and excited for more of these!
Thanks buddy. Appreciate the support.

Remember everyone nitrile gloves, they're usually powder free and won't trigger a latex allergy

Brilliant, mate! I recommend doing close-ups of the machine after each step.
This is by far the best video I’ve watched about this, thank you for sharing. I hope you can share more knowledge. Subscribed;)
Really appreciate it thanks for the sub
Love this video! Very clear and edited well!
Thank you so much for this video. I recently started tattooing and had a rotary machine first, I got now a coil from my friend and your video was exactly what I was looking for :D
Love this video and how perfect those gloves fit your hands 😍

Hi sorry for bothering I cant find that type of tatto machine can u tell where to buy it?
Wow, Adam video
just answered a lot of questions I had been asking.
Do you have a link to the machine you are using for this video? I want to use the same gear you got. I’d feel much more confident going into it
Do you have any links for the metal grip, tube, and tips?
My tattoo needle has stopped sticking out of the tube! I have tried adjusting the tube back to have more depth but it ends up hitting the rotary, what can i do?
this might be dumb and i havent looked at your other videos yet but attaching the wiring to the coil properly is something I have a little concern about.
Thx now I know how to set my Tatoo machine up
I'm doing research...very informative video..thanks for the help!

Thanks a tons for your knowledge and the finer details, got my set up today, so freakin pumped to learn. Mucho appreciated!!
Super helpful info, this was great! Side note: instructor looks like an English Alternative Ben Affleck hahah 🤘 awesome
Thanks! 😃
I like this video my dude, tryna learn anymore helpful videos.
Very helpful video! Great quality as well. Makes it so much easier to actually see the pieces you're talking about! Too many low res instructional videos on here.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETTWEEN COIL AND BATTERY MACHINE? JUST DESIGN ?
There are a few differences, but all in all your just trying to puncture the skin as consistent as possible. Both will do this but in slightly different ways. I’ve got videos on some of the differences of these machines.
So interesting and easy to understand x
Yup this is the video i was looking for
does the amount of the rubber bands make any difference, IE: 1 compared to 4??
it will make a difference, it will increase the tension on the needle bar the greater the amount of bands. the trick is to find the sweet spot where you have enough tension to stop the movement in the needle but not so that it causes the machine to work harder than I needs to.
Can you maybe show also a video of how much mm the needle dept is for lining and shadowing and coloring. Thanks, it was a great video though 👊
Dime for lining and a nickel for shading. ❤
How do I get my needle out it's like the needle is to short
Good info but had a bit of difficulty seing you set up a black machine on a black bench, black gloves too. The overhead shots would have been better as close ups and the bench would them have been ok if you movred the white light so the reflection was under the machine...would have made it clearer and the machine would have looked more three dimensional. Green light might be moody but didn't help the clarity of what you were doing at all.
Purely creative crit, found the tutorial useful and enjoyed it thanks.
What you recommend needle size for lining, shading, and coloring??
Wonderful video. I am a visual learner and you explained this so well alongside the demonstration. Thank you.
In the right hands the machine can be very powerful
Liked your video, hope you make more. What about bagging the tattoo machine? Isn’t that part of setup too?
It all depends where you work and what the laws are. You don't have to bag your machine everywhere even though you should anyways. Clip cords I believe are mandatory everywhere.
I am just getting into tattooing, I have not done anything on real skin yet just practice skin.

What is the best size needle to do line
Yah ima go ahead and buy a rotary now
Coil tattoo machine works with cartridges?
Thank you, that was super helpful :)
love the dark lighting set up with al the black accessories, i didn't wanna see a damn thin going on anyways
Great video
I'm so nervous tryin this. But very informative
As a newbie, I can't see what you're doing...
The set of hex keys are contaminated now too. They also need to be autoclaved/disinfected before you use them again! Not sure why this was not discussed.
So when you're talking about a complete setup, at what point do you put the ink or pack the ink.
link for the grip ?
Brains and looks 👌
Good
can i get a bohtah of wahtah

Sorry buddy, so hard to monitor all the cameras, my setup is a lot better now so I’ll remake the video and get some better angles and detailed shots
Your lighting is really bad. Couldn't see clearly enough.
You can tattoo me lol
What’s your Facebook name brother
Video is to dark and I can’t really see what’s going on. Not a good video for me.
Too dark can’t see nun.
Why the fuck is it so confusing
Learn how to zoom in
the wrong things?
Too much talking 😢
sooooopo much unneccesary talking
Sorry for that. But thanks for
Watching my video :)
I didn't hear you explain how to put the wires on to make the gun go? Isn't that the most important part? Why would you leave the most important part out? Thumbs down for ignorant neglegiance
They just clip straight on plug in or are wireless with batteries, easy as plugging in your phone charger.
you talk way too much
