Well I need some help from the artistic people on RIU

I do like rotary machines, especially for grey wash, the problem is finding a good dependable brand. And you have been trying to tattoo? I would suggest that you seek an apprenticeship or at least have a professional artist walk you thru the basics and proper sanitary precautions before you proceed. A lot of ppl are getting into tattooing these days, but unfortunately almost none of them are going about it the right way.

Well I got everything disposable except the machine itself...so with new needles and the disposable grips and what not there isn't a whole lot of reason to worry too much about it...I have one reusable grip and tip and I tun it through the dishwasher after I use it...

then again since I only tattoo me and my husband...no worry for spreading disease anyway...I just use the green soap and spray or soak everything in it that is reusable before and after using it as well...
I found all the videos online of how to take the machine apart and clean it and all that...

I think I am going to try out a rotary machine...because I am just not jiving with the coil machine I have so far...and I know that you can't do a whole lot of amazing things with the super cheap guns anyway...I just don't think I have a proficiency for it, but lovely husband of mine is sure I can do it as long as I use the internet and practice...
I am not as confident as he is...
But hey even the simplest of simple tattoos that I can easily accomplish at home is cheaper than going to get the same simple tat in a shop...
