sorry but what do you mean by woven, and what is better for what. its hard to find anything on needle descriptions of what does what and what is good for what. there are so many

[rob]

umm im confused now, i didnt mean crate lol. the stuff from china is too hard to differentiate the good from the bad. also i looked for kylin on ebay but couldnt find…after a good world wide supplier with top shelf products not the cheap stuff. cant seen to find boxed tips for magnum needle that arent disposable.
Might be a stupid question but what exactly is the difference between a liner and shader. i have read on it but still not grasped the concept. also is there anyone who has the book from tis ite that cann sell to me and send to aus, too expensive to send through when bought from amazon

thanks

whats the difference between a 5mag and 5f

[rob]

sizing would be about a half inch in a thin script. i would have thouight a 7mag was too wide for delicate small lettering

[rob]

Also whats everybodys take on rotary machines, the good the bad and the ugly. Liner vs shader vs all rounder differences. thanks again

[rob]

definately considered
thanks guys

Thanks for the reply, unfortunatly i dont have an apprenticeship atm, i explain why in the introduce yourself area. I can get one in bali but not for another year so im trying to learn as much as i can on my own, any thing you can recommend would be great

Hey liam, good to hear from another aussie who understands my utter dissapointment at what tattooing is in aus. Ive recently hooked up an apprenticeship in bali through a good friend of mine, a local. Only problem is i need to support myself over there for 6 months with no pay. Ill be looking to get there by the end of the year but want to have a good is=dea when i get there. The only tattooes ive done have been lettering and some outlining work, im a bit fearful to jump into shading at the risk of doing something too dark when it shouldnt be. I will upload what i have done for some positive criticism.

Dreamerx thanks for the warm welcome, unfortunatly that is how it goes in aus, sucks but its not like you can chuck a fit, from what liam is saying sydney is alot worse then perth, some of my best friends are tattooists and i cant even ask them for assisstence. I was wondering where i could find that link for the book you said earlier. Also i was wondering what your take was on what stencil paper i should use, ive used some crap i got from china but it just dosent show too well, i placed it on my friends ribs in one instance and when i went to pull the skin taught i could barely see my lines. Sorry to hassle but im quite happy i have someone to ask questions to. Lastly i found that when tattooing my friend that my needle would jam a fair bit, i was running the same speed as i always do but he recently lost weight and his skin was quite loose, any light you can shed on this would be great.

Thanks for your time guys
