Also practise is the best form of teaching so you will probably find out yourself what suites your style of tattooing.<br /> To tattoo id recommend you get yourself a copy of all the necessary health compliance certificates, these can be obtained from your local council.<br /> The best way of disposing used needles is to buy H&amp;S compliant sharps buckets. These are inexpensive and come in different sizes (sold on this website).<br /> Happy tattin' dude :) </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/advice-needed#post-38 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:41:13 +0000 ETC 38@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>So I've just bought the apprentice kit... Which is great! And I'm starting out on my inky path... But I need some advice.<br /> I'm just wondering what the best speed settings are for lining and shading? And should they be changed when tattooing different parts of the body etc.<br /> Also, do you need a licence before you can tattoo people? Im no where near tattooing people yet but I'd just like to know in advance.<br /> Final question... What's the best way of disposing of used needles etc? With it being biological waste I'm just wondering if it has be disposed of in a certain way. </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/stock-control#post-37 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 14:34:12 +0000 Layth 37@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>Hi there</p> <p>If you let us know what it is you would like to order, we will be able to better help you and provide you with more information.</p> <p>You can either call us on 0151 708 0000, or email us at <a href="mailto:layth@killerink.co.uk">layth@killerink.co.uk</a>.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Layth </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/stock-control#post-36 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:22:47 +0000 northuk 36@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>When are the "out of stock" lines going to be replenished?<br /> There are a few things i need but i wont make a purchase until i can get everything in one go, just wondering if anybody knows so i can plan accordingly.

I purchased the Professional Tattoo Kit II - Intermediate - TK002 last week. The best prices ive seen so far on the net (not including ebay etc. but its best to buy from a serious website.)</p> <p>My advice for anyone starting out would be to get as much information as you can from the internet. There is plenty of websites offering really good information, detailed videos and illustrations. </p> <p>A tattoo machine may look a bit daunting at first but another tip is to play around with your machine, you cant expect to just slam in a needle and go!<br /> I like to take things apart and put them together again and play with all the screws and springs to find out what they do (just dont wreck your machine!) youll feel you get a better understanding of what youre in control of.</p> <p>happy tattin' </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/set-up#post-34 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:08:51 +0000 wolfywarploy 34@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>i agree with Phil, 10 volts on your liner will give you nice solid lines.

The sparks are normal, due to the 10-wrap power. If you'd like to exchange for another set to see if you get less sparks then you're more than welcome to, although the sparks are not harmful at all... </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/fitting-new-coils#post-23 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:14:44 +0000 john169 23@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>hi layth i.ve just fitted a new set of coils to one of my machines the orange heavy duty ones the problem im having is there seems to be excessive sparks between the contact screw and the front spring i.ve tried adjusting the contact screw but its just the same any ideas? regards john </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/tattoo-inks#post-22 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 06:15:30 +0000 bobbins 22@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>hi layth, no prob. my mum got me a kit ( kit 2) as a christmas present ( was wanting new guns) and im really happy with my kit. as with all new tattoo guns you like to keep them close to you just incase anything happens to them haha, but yeah really happy with the result of the ink, i used scream inks before but everyones noticed the change.<br /> i done 4 tattoos on my left hand fingers and the needles ran smoothly and the inks really took to the skin.<br /> i was 14 when i first started tattooing and i sometimes felt that the ink could be better but since using the new inks with my kit i havent had a prob! 10/10!<br /> thanks killer ink! </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/tattoo-inks#post-21 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:33:23 +0000 Layth 21@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>Hi bobbins, thanks for that, i'm glad you like them.

However, your power supply definitely shouldn't pack up after 5 minutes!! If the kit was purchased from us, then we would replace for you. Now and again, unfortunately you will get a faulty one, but our faulty rate is thankfully very low due to us paying higher prices for better equipment. </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/tattoo-inks#post-12 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 16:54:34 +0000 Layth 12@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>Hi John,</p> <p>So long as its not fake ink (as there are some out there! - especially with the likes of Intenze) then the Skin Candy ink should be exactly the same as used on Miami Ink... But so long as you are purchasing from a reputable tattoo supplier then there shouldn't be a problem, just stear clear of buying inks off the likes of eBay, again, unless its from a European registered company. </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/power-supplies#post-11 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 01:09:46 +0000 stiggy 11@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>I recentlly had the proffesional tattoo kit 1 brought for me as a gift,and within 5 mins of it running it packed up,so my question is what power supply would be best to use and or foot switch (as the foot switch mine came with had chinese news paper in the bottom to lift the contact point). </p> http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/topic/tattoo-inks#post-10 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:55:09 +0000 john169 10@http://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/tattoo-forum/ <p>hi layth im using skin candy and millenium its just my opinion but i dont think it looks as good as some of the inks used in pro studios thats why i was asking is it a different quality of ink as a lot of them wont sell to you without a licence take miami ink for example they use skin candy on the show and it dosent look anything like the ink you can buy off the net </p>
