Hey Guys, I have bought a Tattoo kit, the Hildbrandt 4 machine with .38 , .44 and the 2 rotary machines.
It is OK, the adjusting screws are plated and need to be replaced with solid brass.
As a quick fix, take out the locking screw for the adjusting screw, and put a tiny bit of Dielectric grease in there. Will make your machine run heaps better, seems the plated screw is a bit crap.

I am just starting out, been an artist for years, but only just getting back into it.
Was lucky enough to come across a couple of Original Micky Sharpz, one Iron micro liner and a solid brass shader, a world apart from the cheaper stuff. Can’t beat quality gear.

The Afterlife power supply seems to be OK from the kit and the Inks are Radiant, not cheap chinese lead filled Dragon hawk stuff. (Do not use for Tattooing people)

I have already replaced the Foot pedal (lasted 2 days), and the Clip Cords which are a joke.
After that and the Dialectric grease, they ran heaps better.
Just be very careful to wipe off any extra grease from the machine.

Happy Tattooing!

Jason.

I would check your using the right bit of the Transfer paper.
You need to let the lining from the stencil dry, and then while you are working wipe AWAY from the work.
Wiping over the stencil will always remove it, try covering the stencil with a bit of paper towel while you clean up the bit you want.
Happy Practicing.
