looks a little washed out

I have only done the basics to it so far , it is part of a sleeve and the contrast will be added after the surrounding subject matter is added to blend it in. not to mention the guy is light skinned black with rather dry skin here in the picture. I have more coming soon

Does anyone use one? Is it worth investing in? What is/are some good brands?

I use a 3M thermofax machine and it is well worth it so you don’t have to make stencils by hand and then if it gets messed up then you would have to do it all over again

Anyone here using the new EMS from Eikon – the one with the black box looks like a guitar effects pedal?

I have one but it went all wonky on me and blew up one of my Next Generation machines so it is in a draw right now until I can get it looked at

By single stack – do you mean woven?

single stack is set up like a flat but yes I guess you could call it woven as well , I know I started off with 6 and 4 flats when I started and ended up going to 8,9 and 14 round shaders until Mags came along then I went to them and find I use different groupings for different pieces.

It is called Kanji not Kungi I have been corrected many times for calling it the wrong thing so please try not to make the mistakes I made.

if an ammy uses a large mag it can make a more destructive hole than a pro. use a curved 7 mag or up to an 11 double stack to grab a smooth out but until you know what ou are doing stay away from the single stack mags

Prizm is amature ink. I use Star Brite and some times Fantasia now known as Eternal Ink but they are a water based ink however it more how YOU apply it and some people HAMMER the crap out of colors like red and green as it is hard to see when applied to the skin. I have been inking 15 years and have used a shit load of colors and want to use ETERNAL inks but use Star Brite and Fantasia (the first run of ETERNAL Inks( but cheap ink leads too shit looking work so use the better to get the best work you can

I use Tattooicide , Hepiquat ( quatricide ammonia ) , Waveicide and Germicidal wipes for hard surface like my machines and bottles.
