no no no.. lol I am not calling Gaston out.. and besides he is obviously genius-minded and doesn't let little shit get to him. I am sure of that.. From the day i made that post til today a lot of things have really changed. I actually realized that with the rotary style technology give isn't as important as stroke length, volt speed, hand speed, pressure and technique. I am loving my RotaryWorks I.D. and am going to order a 2.5 soon. RCA this time :p
All those factors tie into what kind of tattoo you are doing, and your style. Give is preference however it's proven to be more forgiving when it comes to skin trauma generally allowing more passes. Sure technique and stretch play a big part in that when using a no give or direct drive as this will allow more passes as well when those proper techniques are applied. This is all based on a give system that actually gives, and I separate no give and direct drive because they are different animals as well. Every single aspect of tattooing has so many variables you just have to find the right combination of stroke, volts, needle float, needle depth, stretch, hand speed, skin type, give, no give, direct hit, needle gauge, and pigment type to achieve whatever style of tattooing you are creating. ie: 4mm stroke, over a nickel float, blunt taper needles, low volts, fast handspeed, lots of stretch, micro dispersed pigment, on sensitive skin would be a straight up nightmare setup to achieve smooth black and grey no matter what type of rotary machine you used.
Is float a rotary term? If so can you explain what you mean please?
All this mumbo jumbo ---for christ sakes just do a fuckin tattoo-its not rocket science!!
float is the same as needle hang
lmfao .... apparently it appears that float is for the rotary industry and hang for the coil industry
