Hey thank for the response so ok yes I have a duel digital display power supply n usually run it around 7. I would check to see if you have any carbon build up on your post and front spring IF you see rust Its rare but not so rare that a capacitor on your tattoo machine blew Same gig check all points that electricity goes through If you think every thing is in order then start in on the power supply If so what do you normally run your power settings at Let me know if this helped Hey so sorry just wondering if my power supply lights up n seems to run fine but none of my guns wont run at all on it n ive used them alot before n had them for a good while n did quite a few tatts with um n there still quit new just haven't used um in a few months, i was just wondering if u could help me out n let me know what could be the problem on that Actually I just fixed it!
Thank you for the fast replies and for posting your very helpful lessons!!! Also check your rear spring for too much tension Yeah I've been messing with the contact screw as well as the front spring in order for it to run.
My machine won't run if it's under Trust me if your new to this you're gonna probably be like what the hell is he talking about, also what is your power ratio when your running the tattoo machine on your power supply I'm sorry I wasn't very clear haha what I meant was that if I take my foot off the pedal and press on it again it won't turn on again I would have to do that whole contact screw routine.
Hi there Amber, so read through this lesson again, but I will tell you that you need to simply keep your foot pressed on the pedal to keep the machine running I have lessons talking about how to set your machine up from the very beginning. Hi, I wanted to know why my tattoo machine shuts off after I take my foot off the pedal?

To make it turn on again, I keep my foot on the pedal and I screw the contact screw to the end of the front spring until it clicks and I screw it back to the middle of the front spring and it works fine again. What should I do to make my tattoo machine keep on running??? Bob please refer to my other lessons, there is a ton of in formation on that specifically, pics included. I just got my machine and I hook it up and there is no power getting to the machine I am not sure what to do. You may need to check the capacitor that is on the machine, it may be incorrectly soldered or faulty altogether I just bought a new clip cord because my machine was not getting any power but its still not getting enough power to run the machine what else could it be?
Not sure what the electric variances are, but most tattoo shops will run v for their power supplies. So first get me the variances and tell me a few things. As far as lining general rule for outlines is liner bug pin or long taper which ever you prefer and lining should run at 6. Hi I bought a new kit from one of the sites I'm from south africa I have a small problem with shading an lining I'm not sure wat voltage shud I use wen shading an how many needles shud I use an wen out lining I also have a problem with ink not chatching I have to go over my outlines twice in order to get it dark an please help.

My brother recommended I may like this website. He used to be totally right. This post truly made my day. You can not consider simply how so much time I had spent for this info! Your liner will have a shorter front spring and a bit of a steeper pitch about 45 degree angle or so and your shader will have a longer front spring and the pitch is more shallow, more like 30 degrees I have the same power supply and during the tattoo the voltage deviates back and forth I've tried different cords to make sure that wasn't the problem. Also used the gun I was using when this occurred, on a different power supply and it did perfectly.
So I bought a setup from my aunt who has been a tattoo artist for about 3 years. We cannot figure out why the machine only clicks. We have tried looking it up and have done everything we can. So we decided to try a different machine, and its having the same problem. When I push the peddle the light comes on, but machine will only click once each time I push the peddle. Any help would be great. I had the impression that both shader and liner contact points angles had to be at one o'clock,am i wrong???
Sounds like your spring tension is to firm Let me know if this helps or need more information. I bought a tattoo kit. I very excited but I hooked every thing up. When I hear someone say practice paper I am assuming skin. You left out some key components that will help maybe trouble shoot your problem.
Hey, I have a question. I bought a set not too long ago, and have started practicing on practice paper, and my bestfriend let me do one on him, but when I did it on skin, everything was tuned correctly, On my power supply I used around 6. The machines seemed to sound correct and everything was running smoothly. But when I started to do it on his skin, I found it hard to outline the contour line of his tribal piece which took multiple turns to run over every line just to make it stay in his skin.
Afterwards, I started shading it in with black, and it took going over each shape roughly 6 or 7 times just to make that stick in his skin. Now after I was done, he took a shower the next day, and when he wiped it off, the shapes have spots that are not fully colored in, and the lines weren't fully there. What can I do to make nice, solid one sweep lines?
And how can I shade better with just normal black, or any color for that matter? Skin textures and how your machine is set up dictate this number. I don't have a specific magic number because many of tattooists use different machines and different power supplies, along with different shading techniques, this does not include ink type, spring tension, what kind of contact point you are using brass, copper, or steel. Once you have tuned your machine though what ever the voltage number is should be consistent through the tattoo, keeping in mind you should never be running above 7 volts unless you are pushing a massive group of magnums, and if you are just beginning, you will want to stay away from those until you have plenty of experience with a variety of shading techniques.

Most of this will depend on the size of the rounds and magnums, but ideally yes it should be consistent voltage that you run your machines at. Again if anyone is tuning your machine and your using more that 7 volts, I would be very hesitant on using the equipment. Most professionals will tell you the same thing I am. If you started off cheap then you may have ended up with a bunch of equipment that does not work.
It is rare but I have seen it on several occasions. If it were me I would just start from the beginning, set your machines up, as I suggest in the lessons, also check for that carbon build up especially after having run your tattoo machine as you have. There could be a few problems, and its not always going to be power supply related.
Every professional tattooist I have ever met run their machines in the 6. If you are having issues with your machine not running at these lower voltages then it could be related to the gauge of your spring, your contact point, is it brass or metal?
Step-By-Step Tips for Tattoo Power Supply Connection
Have you checked to make sure the contact point has no carbon build up from running at high voltage? Also if it is a cheaper machine it may only run at those higher voltages but the quality of the tattoo will be hindered. There are many things to pay attention too. First make sure that your contact points are at the right angles as I suggest in the mini lessons. Your liner will be at one 'o' clock and your shader will be at about three 'o' clock.

Trust me I asked these same questions and I even doubted the information. Most cases it wont be your power supply that is the problem it will be how your machine is tuned. Hope this helped, please revisit those lessons they might have more to add. Hey there edge Craog B basically had the same question as you, so follow the instructions I gave him, see what I can do for you guys. Ok if your doing a tattoo and the skin isn't taking the ink very good at all and u gotta go over it a couple times could that be the machine settings or could the needle be set wrong or what could it be I would live some helpful hints on what I'm fling wrong.
Hi there Despina, if your like me and can afford it, buy a new one. I have never encountered that problem myself but a few things do come to mind. Sometimes, not often mind you, how the electricity flows from the wall through the power cable and then the "regulator" that steps down amount that will flow through the power supply itself, those can go bad after years of use, and of course most things like that are made in china because how cheaply they are manufactured over there.

Another thing is some of those P. I have torn this particular p. If you are savvy, take it apart and check to make sure you have no crossed wires, sometimes things settle with age. Next question for you is how long have you had this unit, because I had to order a new cable for it, and I have been using it for better than 7 years. Here is the adapter type I found for it, hope this helped. I have been tattooing for years but today I encountered a weird problem.
I have the same power supply as you do, exactly, so while tattooing the screen went to 1. I have checked all my guns, foot pedals and cords so it can only be the power supply. There are several techniques you need to apply to doing smooth straight lines. A lot will begin by the tube size you are using Rear Binding Post 17 - Provides contact point for clip cord.
