Hey, I'm Matt. I've been lurking on these forums for a while now, just never got around to introducing myself.
I've been tattooing for a little over three years, but before that, I had spent over 4 years looking for a shop to start an apprenticeship. Started tattooing in Orlando, Florida, and now find myself in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with plans of moving to the Middletown, New York area this fall.
Right now, I'm running my swash drive gen7 for everything, which is originally why I started posting here-- and everyone has been really helpful. My shop is very "coil", so much so that I was looked at as a scratcher for a few days when I picked up the rotary and started lining with it. If it weren't for this website, I would've never learned how to properly use and maintain my machine, and I'm sure the growth in the quality of my work would've been stunted drastically. So thanks much to everyone who's already helped me out, and hello to everyone I haven't met yet.
Thanks for being such a cool group of people so far! I look forward to learning and sharing more with you guys in the future.
