Over here in NZ, most of our good gear is imported. Very limited in way of good machine builders.
Mickey Sharpz units are a fav of mine. along with a handful of italian liners and shaders from Lauro Paolini.
Great to have you here mate!
wow great thing to see im not the only one that ran a cheap its machine!!!!
i agree with most of the skin candy except the white,,and there kabuki black.i had a set a while ago and ended up selling it all except for the white, i deffinatly gotta try some more intenze,,as for worst on the market id also say scream,,voo doo brand,,tatboy,,and prizm just to name a few
Ive used kuro sumi for outlining and grey wash the whole time ive been tattooing up untill 3 months ago when i made an order they sent me a free bottle of kabuki black from skincandy,,i love this stuff for outlining,for grey wash i still use kuro sumi black (not pre mixed just big caps with 1/2 then 1 2 3 drops in each and cut them)
for colors i use eternal,some kuro sumi (not the lighter colors) starbrites, for white highlights i use skincandy whitegirl,,one ink i dont like is called tribal one pass by skincandy it does heal really dark but it sucks working it in. I was wondering on how people like intenze colors right now i have the marios blue its great for cover ups but i never tried any other colors,,also has anyone ever tried joshua carltons alla prima ink??
thankx,,ive got many machines in my collection but for the day to day i use a danny fowler brass G2 time machine for lining (3s-5s) and sometimes for bigger outlines a time machine flatliner (mainly 7 liners),,for shading it depends on my mood i have a few customs but believe it or not i use a iron ITS machine (laugh if you will on my $50 dollar machine!!!) guys ive worked with give me shit about the its machines i have but i replaced the springs with some from eikon and tweeked it a little and it runs super smooth.Ive been looking into getting a Dan drigenberg machine for shading because a guy i learned from uses one,I tried it out and i think its great im just not too fond of the $600 price tag but it is a great machine,,ill post a pic soon of some of my collection
id say about 45 min drive from dover
thankx,,i will just waiting on approval from the boss
Sorry to try and bring this post back to its original topic but,,im not sure how it goes in cali. but i know in the state of new hampshire where im licensed out ofa blood bourne pathogens certificate is mandatory to get licensed(along with hep b vacinations .Its also required to renew your license (we have to get another certificate when we renew once a year) theres a course online we get it from for something like $20 from ICPR or something like that
