i got tattooed from Ron Earhart on my shoulder neck/chest area with a blitz rotary. he used a 7 mag. it healed in 2 days.. the fastest i've had a tattoo heal.. ever.. and that area is usually problematic for healing and blow outs.. (collar bone area)
maybe i should stick to using the bigger mags when only doing portraits and black and grey...
kinda interested in getting a dragon fly because of the give factor... i imagine it being a little bit gentile on the skin...?
I think you've hit the nail on the head and found the issue. I personally wouldn't try beyond an 11 mag for solid fields of color,generally I go with 7 and some of my Rotaries can really pack it in fast and even. 7 seems to be the magic number go bigger and you have to slow down your hand speed,so nothing gained.
I took a look at your gallery-you're doing some damn nice work.
