Single Tubes
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010Should i keep using disposable tattoo equipment(tubes and grips)?
i am beginning to feel like the single-use grips and tubes are holding my work down. does anyone else know anything about this? for instance, i dont know if this has anything to do with the disposable tubes and grips, but my machine sputters a lot as opposed to when i used steel. i think this may have something to do with the conductivity?
someone just please give me some info because i think i should just buy an autoclave in my shop and start going steel.
You can get more friction from a disposable tube, This seems to bog down a machine. Even more so if your needle bars are not good and straight. I have used steel for about twenty five years. I used the disposable tubes one time and never again. the needles can cut groves in the tubes. so the needle is not in the same place as you started. This is especially true on large tattoos.
Hope this helps
