Lining with a Rotary | Fridays with Franco

[@Thehomiemike619]

Picked up a v5 in 2014 best thing ever after that went back to the whole loyal to the coil attitude. Then i got a V6 couldn't use it. Started using pens and they hit. Got a bishop to show support and then couldn't do anything. Left the bishop alone for a while. Went back to the pen. Then got all my stuff jacked bishop had a special on microangelos 2 years ago before my son was born money was tight i had to figure it out ended up figuring it out and from then on i can pick up any machine that exist and figure it out very quick it taught me feel speed and pressure. Love it

[@dennyurie4038]

[@walinga70]

USE YOUR SENSES, eyes, ears, touch, machine and your hand are together as one, the settings are in my hand not so much my machine. Adaptability is a must. It made my day to hear you basically say what I've lived by since 92. Thank you !

[@gritgrit486]

Those Fridays with Franco are gold... Thank U ! Keep those amazing teaching chat with us 🙏

[@mattsanders6371]

I learned with coils and have used them for 16yrs. Made the switch over to rotary and today dig it. It was an adjustment for sure. And switching over has saved my wrist for sure. Doesn't feel like a brick in my hand anymore.

[@projekttatuaz7969]

Holy crap, dude. I'v just found my mentor. Best regards from Poland 🇵🇱

[@jonniefandango3013]

I love rotary will never go back to all those moving parts . Every two minutes trying to re tune a coil machine to find the "sweet spot". A rotary is so consistent . Easier to find the sweet spot. I still struggle with the fear of blowouts so my lines aren't coming out saturated enough. I like how you simplify everything 👏. Thank you for your time both of you sincerely. I own many machines as you can imagine. I own two magi's and I love them for shading and packing colour. As you explained with the organic give

[@nathanheath1021]

Very informative , I appreciate you guys taking your time to do these videos, i switched to rotaries about two years ago and had to figure it out on my own , nice that you’re helping out everyone.

[@workingmaninavan2621]

You guys are doing an awesome job, especially with shipping supplies during this virus situation. Thank you

[@ritogutierrez1072]

I personally removed the return spring on my v6 when using cartridges. I realize that if you count the return spring in the cartridge plus the return spring in the cam, causes resistance in the motor. Throwing off the rpm thus making it hard to line...

[@lizzyburzum8490]

This was perfect and informative in the way I needed to hear it. Thank you so much. I struggle sometimes with that fear. I tell myself I can always go back rather then blowout but this helped my mindset of letting go of that fear and finding the right depth and not hesitating and pulling back on the pressure before finishing my line. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge

[@ivanmendoza8457]

Honestly i learned to tattoo with coils but i feel like i learned to become an artist with the v6 now with the fantom and shader packer/liner i feel im taking it to a new level

[@spooksincere8276]

Thank you very much for your professional opinion and insight on rotary lining verse coil...very helpful and appreciated

[@Scytheuk]

I’m glad to hear Carlos Torres is a partner. I met him once at the London show and he was such I nice, kind guy. I’m happy to give money to anything he’s involved with.

[@toddapplegate]

[@turnpush]

Such a great company! Great educational advice, thank you!

[@MsSternlein]

I’ve had this video saved for weeks in my studying Playlist, I’ve just found the time to watch it. My god, you guys are the coolest! This helped me so much. Looking forward to watch more from u! ❤️‍🔥

[@citifolk]

V5 was the 1st rotary I could line with. V6 performed even better. Just ordered the Micro. Also, thank you guys for the generous sample packs.

[@Bulkvanderhuge]

I’m excited to try these new rotaries with massive throw 5mm + and see if I can punch through lines as fast as I can with a coil.

[@misterjwestcoast]

Congratulations, you are now my tattoo master.

[@nickwatson-z7c]

I have one client on which I did a tattoo a while back, and everything turned out amazing. Solid line work, nice packing, smooth finish. Then we started on another project and for an unknown reason, the lines just wouldn't heal... I love doing tattoos with different line weight and have been for many years. This is the first time I have encountered this problem. I have only been lining with rotary for the last two years, tattooing with coil for the previous 6. But even in the last 2 were I was using the wands, no one ever had this issue. I really appreciate the xyz. It is something we all somewhat hear of, but not necessarily something that we understand, or get explained. Regarding my issue, I initially thought that maybe, out of nowhere, I went bunkers and heavy handed. But would that make sense? The client was good enough to trust me further and come back. So I tattooed him again and the results were much better, but not as smooth as I like them to be. The fact that I had no other incidents previous to this, or since, makes me wonder what the issue is. Could it be that it was the sharpy used for the freehand design? I only found one article mentioning that possibility accross the web... Maybe a barbed tip? A health condition my client is unaware of? Or was I super heavy handed that particular day? Eitherway, I have been very attentive to everything I do since, and it makes me question over everything I do. So much so that I have been considering starting o er from the very basics up again. Althought this is one bad case out of a couple thousand good ones. I will definitely be working the xyz, but what do you think might have cause this issue? Thanks for your time!

[@GrayRides]

Was never able to line with a rotary. (Not bishop) I never felt like it went in like my coils. Ended up trying a sidewinder and it’s the best of both worlds. I feel like it punches ink in like any coil, but has the consistency of a rotary. Again I haven’t tried bishop machines so no hate from me! Good video ❤

[@Papi-mg5ck]

Customer service is top notch 👍🏼

[@katierecine8725]

Love my bishop. over 40 yrs with coil, can"t hold a coil. my bishop has just the right weigh. Will order the packer. Can"t wait.

[@LupeRCalderon]

TY......my friend needed more information & your knowledge is exactly what he was intrigued by. TY once again with much respect .Lupe & Gato

[@frankmontoya8838]

I love my coils for lining and my capo v6 for color blends and what I like about coils is the sound and the punch in a properly tuned machine can't wait to buy a packer wand from you .

[@knownunknown7607]

I'm really new to practical tattooing (though I've been learning theory for over 2 years), and I feel like what you're saying about letting the hand do the give -if I understand you right- is best described as responding to - and adjusting your hand pressure to - the haptic feedback you're getting in both your machine hand and your stretching hand when the needle hits the skin. Or in other words: the tattooing technique needs to take into account more than just how it looks. Sound can also play a role, but is probably the most difficult to pick up on consistently, so visual and tactile feedback are -in my opinion- the main points to focus on. Those remain consistent even if there's music playing, or someone else is working in the booth next to you. And by the way, thanks a lot for making this video, it's been very informative - even just 28 minutes in! Now to watch the rest!

[@mattsmith2559]

What’s not to like about this company? Top dawgs in my opinion 👌🏻

[@jackbrady9132]

Love my microangelo, and my phantom. Great machines...

[@GaColares]

I’m still a begginer but I started with a rotary cause I could only afford one machine and it seemed like the best choice (it could shade/pack and maybe line if I got the hang of it) so I instinctively played around with the “xyz” and don’t think I’ll ever have to switch to a coil, even though I have one now. Great video, thanks for the info!!!

[@AndrueSOCAL]

Can you make a video on the needle carts and what is good and or bad about them

[@dorianstocker]

Thanks for these videos, really cool and informative. 🙏

[@kurleychadney2218]

I always see my needle bounce so i got me the ARMA stainless steel grip for my microangelo

[@greystattoostudio8123]

my thoughts match it... i was figuring out from the beginning but i was still stuck in it but ur opinion matches my thoughts thanks

[@AndrueSOCAL]

Thank you I’m so confused with how my old coil machines have such little throw and then the rotary machines are like 4mm I’m just sitting here wondering if I’ll have to setup my cartridge different than I would with a coil like can I let the needle hang as much and can I’d glide over the skin on a slow Voltage lol so many wuestions

[@pamfiloabionjr4529]

Best tutorial ever.. Thank you so much!

[@44icehouse]

This is great!! Thanks Franco!! One thing though... if one is a liner, another shader its still the same thing as having an adjustable machine. Just gotta buy another machine.. good one lol if this was the case just make one machine and master at getting ur hand pressure just right for each skin and style of tattoo. But ur right! Before all these helpful tools we gotta master our craft.

[@MambusBambus]

great video guys. I used to love bishop machines but I was pretty disappointed when my bishop rotary motor died after just 10 months of usage. never dropped the machine, never used it out of the recommended voltage.. that was pretty sad actually for a machine that cost me 400€. I get the feeling that the more established a brand gets the less they care about costumer service & highend production. I bought machines from private machine builders where every machine is unique & they work just fine as ever where some established ones broke down after a few months to a year...

[@fishnmaster421]

I use a coil machine with a cartridge conversion tube. So I get the quick change and sharpness of cartridges and I keep the buzz and sound of a coil machine. I use a hp/2 supply so I can keep my coil machine top notch tuned for optimal work. It’s just what works best for me. Coil with cartridge is way to go.

[@100octane2]

Bought a $20 coil machine. I had to go over almost every line 2 or 3 4 times finally dropped $100 on a better rotary. I'll find out today if thats my issue.

[@iangarnerlerose]

This is great info. I’ll share!

[@sgharu7002]

[@aurasoleijA777]

[@frankmontoya8838]

I was amazed on how small it is but packs the ink well

[@jedimack2390]

Video wasn't sideways for me. Lol! Good content either way!

[@Max-dm3vg]

Hey I have all 3 machines. And all works extremely well. My question is that from my understanding the packer and liner have the same motor. Only difference is the cam. But I can feel a strong difference in regards 2 what feels like "give" the packer feels soft but powerful and the liner is very hard and powerful. Is it jus the cam or is there some "give" difference. BTW not complaining as I luv all 3.???

[@carloszepeda9132]

Hi, Franco, greetings from Mexico City!! I want to ask you about the fantom, I actually want one so badly, but the thing is they are out of stock, I really hope that you can put in stock asap, but my question is: the Fantom works for Linning too, I mean I need an all around machine, and if it's a Bishop I'm all set to be happy and get the job done every time. And for last I want to thank you your commitment and your support to the tattoo industry, I truly appreciate that and I'm really grateful for found Bishop machines, (here you have a truly fan of yours man, yeahhh) so... thank you, And hope to hear about you Sir. God Bless!!

[@charlie51379]

For a all around machine, what's suggested, main is tight lines, then everything else. Thanks

[@simonkristiansen960]

[@aldenarthur6548]

When I did a portrait was when I was 22 years ago . Then I started to get asked if I can do a portrait. AS A TATTOO. Am I ready to do it if I started tattooing this year .

[@shire-lee]

Alden Arthur lol that’s something you have to answer yourself man.

[@standard1664]

I think the guy asking about the slowing of the needle during the cam rotation is referring to the bottom part of the needle stroke (and the top) as the needle slows to change direction. If you picture the rotational motion, and focus on the up /down velocity vector of the needle, the max up/down velocity would be midway through the stroke. Past that midway point, the up/down vector begins to slow down until velocity reaches zero (bottom of stroke), and then direction changes and the upward velocity begins to grow again. So based on that, the position of the needle would look like a mathematical sin wave over time, suggesting that the up /down motion of the needle builds up speed through the stroke and then slows to change direction. If this understanding of the mechanics is correct, I'm also curious as to what considerations can be made in understanding different strokes and how this impacts the skin (no pun intended). My guess is that the longer strokes can build up higher needle speed, and a heavier hand can make sure the needle hits more mid stroke when velocity is peaked - all of this being able to push big groups and penetrate the skin easily. And I think that the slower velocity phase of different stroke lengths would be barely noticeable, so as long as the hand is light, any stroke length can do soft shading similarly. So... Longer stroke better for all rounder?

Awesome information Franco. Great knowledge. Thank you for sharing. Wish you and Bishop continued success and blessings. 👊🏽

[@fishnmaster421]

I set my V’s at 1.0 above where it start hitting. And on my first line. I do 3 speeds in that line. I start slow for about quarter inch, than I hit second gear, than 3rd gear. And than I go back a look at that 3/4 of a inch of line. And I’ll see which gear/speed laid the best. And than I’ll go that speed the rest of the tatt. That way I find my speed I need for that person within 3/4 of an inch of the first line

[@mexicandemonful]

Chingon 🙂🤙 Bishop all the way i really love all machines

Big fan of bishop ...but curious abt the wand packer can ..line smooth or not ...i m planning to get the packer

Yes :) It's an all-in-one machine. If you're comfortable with rotaries, you can shade, line, and color pack with the Packer Wand 👍

[@kembotqueen3388]

why dont you apply arma grip mechanism in bishop wand?

[@Bulkvanderhuge]

As far as I’m concerned pressure should never really be a factor if your machine hits hard enough it should do its job. As soon as I ever pressed harder because my rotary is shit (xion pen) the lines are just not great or their skin gets raised from jamming their skin. The problem with slowing the hand speed is everyone who tattoos their wrist are fricked and I just think taking longer is not good for my hands.

[@danavega8637]

which machine would you suggest is closest to getting lines as if i was using a coil v6 or Packer?
