Pleaseee do a video where you explain how to "build" your rotary machine and what change with every component! That would be so helpful and interesting! Love your videos ❤️

[@MaxfieldB]

yess

[@twrecks116]

Could You Explain all the Tattoo Meanings?! Machine Setup, Stoke, Voltage Settings.. Etc.? Thanks!

[@LKorosec]

I second this. I need some help with understanding all these terms, as I'm looking to buy machine parts for myfirst setup

[@chrisdehay1084]

@@LKorosec watch his different vids

[@alybabyy_xo]

Yes same I am just starting out and I would like to know the difference of what they all mean and how to know what you would need for certain tattoos

[@LaneAWD]

Machine setup is just what it says, with a rotary it's mainly just assembly, with coils it's like swapping springs, swapping armature bars etc. Stroke is the distance the needle travels in one cam rotation Voltage is just the voltage you set the power supply to, at different voltages you get different machine speeds and you get different results at each setting

[@user-ho6fi3hm6o]

I’d love to see how you set up your flite nanos and a little more in depth review of them! I keep seeing them but have only used pen style machines and would love to try these because they seem so versatile

[@amazingthingsfromaroundthe2057]

I got a cheapo rotary kit with everything ordered from Amazon. I can't wait to start. I used to tattoo a lot back when I was young then I just quit and start working a job, I want to get back into it so bad. Thanks for the vid!

[@s_e_r.]

Could you review dragonhawk machines? I have a Raven, and I'd love to see your opinions on it.

[@RedGhoulInk]

I’ve been looking for this video Since I started tattooing and watching your videos. I got an ink jekta just because of your recommendation and I love the flexibility and lightness of it! But I’ve been having a hard time pulling lines with 9rl without riding the tube. And now that I know how you have it set up it’ll be easier to do it!

[@ELLINKZ]

Just bought my first machine and looking forward to my tattooing journey :) please do a video where you put together the tattoo machine!

[@brandonclark2089]

Hey Brandon love watching your videos. They have been a huge help in my journey in the industry. I was thinking about getting a Dragonhawk Slip Rotary Machine. Would love to see a review on this machine.

[@vapestar3705]

I still to this day use my bronc v1 and bronc v3 rotaries....the v3 is so super easy to break down and autoclave and the v1 is perfect for lining....3.8mm stroke and hits hard....i do use alot of pens now but if i do any traditional work it's always with my bronc v1 and bronc v3....every now n then I'll use a bar needle setup and use my hummingbird but that's rare lately

[@AndrueSOCAL]

What about now what are you running

[@markymarkthemag]

I like lining with a coil because the lines go in effortlessly for me in one pass, maybe 2 at the most. But it’s also hard for me because the machine is heavy and shakes a ton. Lining with a rotary is hard for me because while the weight and shaking is no where near as big an issue as with the coil machine, I find myself going over and over lines trying to get a solid looking line. I’m just gonna keep hit the fake skin and tattoo straight line stenciled over and over with both machines until I’m able to line well with both.

[@StrangersWithMemor1es]

Upping your voltage or stroke may be good aswell

[@DeafForever666]

@@StrangersWithMemor1es its cute u think u can give advice

[@AndrueSOCAL]

I know I can throw straight lines with a old school not even good quality coil machine so let’s try the cheapest rotary pen 10 years later hahaha I watch so many of your videos thank you

[@The-fo1om]

The Dragonhawk Atom rotary pls!

[@NirKalfon-wt4yn]

Hey Brandon, love your channel, really informative and helped me a tone, thanks a lot man! would be amazing to watch a more in-depth video on the inkjecta flite nano(which I just purchased 💪), explaining the different settings and options, when to use what etc.

[@Tattooing101]

Sounds like a good idea

[@boorene6535]

So when youre shading yu have the voltage lower?

[@josephmaganajr6947]

Hello Tattooing 101.Thanks for uploading your content, it's really informal. I'm an IL art student who has recently started thinking about a career in tattooing. I have been trying to do research into a beginner machine so that I can gain an understanding of how they operate and feel. Based on everything I've seen I have an interest in the rotary style machine. When I have enough money saved up, I may try to find one to try it out.

[@mienchennn]

Great video. What disposable grip do you use?

[@Atzi.gstudio]

Which InkJecta do you recommend? I started with an adjustable stroke pen style machine. And love it but would like to also try a rotary thanks!

[@ArgentiLuna]

I;m new to this but you chabged needles, you used a 14rl then changed it for the shading? What shader did you use>

[@zundappwatercooler]

Can you do a review of the EVO Rotary Maxx wireless pen machine

[@jenniferjones8453]

Thank you. I got a rotary because I brace very small hands and with the gun I was having a hard time finding a way to hold it without it hurting my hand or being shaky. But I am struggling with the rotary even more for some reason. I thought maybe it would be easier for me to hold but I’m not sure anymore.

[@chriskochanowski4242]

Peak nebula or Tanza review? Particularly with disposable grips and cartridge setup

[@FaeryMoon555]

I just bought a Pose ⚡️DON. Wireless pen. I also have a old rotary style with a foot pedal... is there anyone out there that can help me learn how to do basic (minimalist style) tats?

[@craigoefinger7977]

Could you do a review on a Romlon rotary pen? I ordered one and would like your professional perspective on this machine so I can get better. Thank you in advance

[@Deadlygunter]

Do you have a recommendation for something similar to an inkjecta but more affordable for someone just starting out or just dipping their toe in the water?

[@Tattooing101]

You can check out our tattoo machine reviews on our channel if you would like to see what affordable machines you might like!

[@RonZwiesler-rz8mb]

Jus got my first rotary mach wormhole. What's ye opinion on that?

[@curtisaustin4381]

Should review the Peak nebula.

[@wallaceinked6805]

Love the fact you use the same machine as me 😄😁

[@austinbird3677]

Awesome videos man

[@CoteyHarju]

What about using a BLOX2.0 ROTARY MACHINE, I just ordered off unleash tattoo it's supposed to be the best rotary pen machine for beginners,an it had a ton of positive reviews. But when I searched it online I can't ever find that brand? I'm just hoping I didn't get ripped off if you could let me know if greatly appreciate it.

[@Tattoosbylefty]

My power supply doesn't have the voltage showing, it's just a knob... Any advice on getting it tuned to 9.5v?

[@Michael-cb3dz]

I'm saving up now to get my frist inkjety

[@jeffroclampet596]

Hi which model of injecta are you using in this video please?

[@dizzyhead4208]

What tattoo pen is good for traditional tattoos? Bold lines?

[@antoniomartinez1921]

Whats a cheaper but still good rotary machine? Don't get me wrong I'd love to get that 800$ one but maybe after a few.

[@paulsuddeth2314]

Best inexpensive?

[@blindshot709]

Hey , Just picked up a wormhole pen kit off amazon , Wondering what you thoughts are on there true black ink ? Is it alright or what is a good ink to use .

[@Tattooing101]

Using it on fake skin is fine, don't use it on human skin

[@patrickbeckett8482]

I just started tattooing. I have a wormhole. It was a kit from Amazon. What machine would you recommend for starting out that isn't that expensive. I'm on a fixed income. Thanks for reading my comment my. Peace

[@babyfourthcardino4637]

my needle dont go up and down i dont what to do with the machine

[@celebratelife8436]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Was wondering where do you get the foam grip?

[@daveb.127]

Hey man new to the channel. Love the work and advise. I just bought a Hildbrandt tattoo coil system. Just starting out. Do I return it before I open and just get something else? Would appreciate the help. Thanks for the sick videos! Sub!!!!!!

[@Tattooing101]

I would recommend going with a rotary or a pen when starting out.

[@tonydavey9084]

the hard ar u used is it the black ridged bar or the adjustable hard bar pls

I got to choose between 4.0 an 3.0 stroke machine, which one is better as all-rounder, is 3.0 good enough for lining and color packing?

[@ItsRaitisLV]

3.5 is a good average

[@wallaceinked6805]

I want a all round cam for my injecta , I'm currently running the one it came with which is 3.2 what would your recommend

3.5 is a good middle ground I recommend people to use

And can you send link to power supply setup you use to run machine?

Any critical power supply will work great

merci je débute et j'ai exactement cette machine jsuis français je sais pas si tu verra mon message moi je l'utiliser a 6.5v du coup c'est pas bien ??

[@CCGDude]

Can you buy one with a 4mm already on it or do you have to buy one separately?

[@Tattooing101]

You have to buy the cam kit

[@CCGDude]

Everyone at my shop uses cheap Amazon rotary machines. My mentor was pissed when I brought up buying this machine and said I don’t need it. Will it help me with the responsive sound? Or should I just keep using cheap machines

[@Tattooing101]

You can tattoo with cheap stuff, it’s just easier with quality equipment. There’s a reason the top artists spend thousands of dollars on their setup.

[@ladyshock1779]

I m a survivor's coil machine ... Because the weigth in the hand male me sure..... I m afraid to change...

[@subwooferroads]

I find these kind of rotarys are bad at lining , I prefer JDMFG anvil or artisian with standard needles, I usually ad a few drops of witch hazel to the lining and shading ink for better ink flow and consistency

[@s_e_r.]

You shouldn't be putting additives in your ink. What about allergies?

[@subwooferroads]

@@s_e_r. Witch hazel is in most green soaps

[@vapestar3705]

@@s_e_r. Not to mention it's in every shading soliton on the market 😂 idk who told you that but that's not true at all.almost every artist I've ever watched work uses a shading solution, witch hazel,or distilled water

[@Sevatar_VIIIth]

Anyone know a solid beginner machine for a 12 year old girl that wants to start learning? We don't want to drop money on an expensive machine for her first one but is solid for her to learn with and make those beginner mistakes on. She's ridiculously intelligent and has taught herself to draw and do art in general, also taught herself to work a damn tablet at 4yrs old on her own when we weren't looking....which is fkn sad since I didn't know how to work a tablet until I was in my late 20s..... I stressed to her the most important thing to learn is always always always good safety health habits and the health risks involved in tattooing. She won't be doing actual tattoos on people but learning on fake skin. Dad has a lot of skin still showing and mom won't let him spend absurd amounts of money getting covered up damnit....Ricki is my only hope! lol jk
