Setting up my new Neotat

[Alie K]

I decided to make a subforum. It's in the techniques section. If anyone practices cosmetic tattooing and would like to make postings to either brag about how awesome they are or get some critiquing, they can do it there. It is INVISIBLE to guest traffic. They can't look at anything in there.

well the neo is not that different from most machines out there. you havent been in this business so as far as these machines and techniques ...you are a baby. you said you work with one of the most respected permanent makeup artist on the west coast, who might that be?? no ill intent here even though it will read that way,but this craft and industry is full of people scabbing tattoos and any info they can get. i would like to think this is not the case with you but i dont know either way. others are more open than me here ,but nobody handed me shit when i was learning and i feel the info that i have to offer is worth a lil background. ahhhh, maybe i jus need some coffee, have a great day

I am interested in someone talented, open minded, and most importantly a humble member on this forum. I am not a scabb (Offensive), I am looking for someone to help educate me in a few other areas. As a "Cosmetic Tattoo Artist" I work with woman who have had mastectomies re-creating thr areola etc.. I have been trained very differently then a traditional artist. I have moved away from a small rotary pen, to using a NeoTat, I am starting to figure a few things out, liking the ease of color getting into the skin. The questions I have are real to me, but I realize they may be no brainer questions to you.
What does it mean when people refer to "rotaries haveing no give" I dont know what this means? I imaginge, the needle to have no flexability.

No reason to fight. You want to keep info about what you do and who you work in confidence. The intro section as well as many other sections of the forum are still visible to the public. You requested it and Alie created a section for MicroPigmentation discussion that is closed off completely to the public. IF you have these questions it beast to open dialog in that section. There is info that many artists here would like to keep proprietary from public view the same as you have requested.

If you open a thread asking these questions in the right area you might be more inclined to get an answer. I mean Zero Disrespect Vallee I am simply trying to help direct you out of talking technique where it should not be discussed on this forum.

What made you switch to the neo tat, I also do eybrows sometimes and I feel the neo tat is a great machine but a bit heavy and cumbersome to use around the face.
I use the KP-96 and also there kp-78 & midas are very well made n plenty power. i feel the neo tat hits way to hard for the face area and can cause some damage. the Kp's and other top german made brands has some flex to the needle bar area. Altho the neo tat would be good for large burn camouflage areas and areola repair were it is harder to get the ink in and were the size & weight would help push the needles in.Think of the neo as another tool to make certain jobs easier.

Hope all works out for you.

"90% of the work I do is medical restoration of the areola"...so maybe the neo tat is EXACTLY what she needs..but I'm digging the subforum that was created and the path that Gravyray took.
