Crab what voltage are you running at? I find anything over 8.2ish with cartridges hit to hard in my opinion. You maybe also using to much needle hang. I got tattooed by a halo with a 4mm stroke the needle set to come all the way out at 10 volts and got chewed up bad. However I set my needles back a lot and use a lower voltage and my stuff is almost healed as it is walking out the door.
