Yesterday, I experienced something I've never had happen to me in 8 years of tattooing. Working on a guy's calf on a large session, my coil liner and my rotary both did the same thing periodically...and it weirded me out.
If I refer to the needle as "sitting" in the tube, then by using the word "bounce" you should get a good idea of what I mean. Randomly, the needle on BOTH machines throughout lining/coloring would bounce from the sitting position for a few seconds, almost as if there were no rubber bands on the needle.
Has anyone experienced this? It led to a frustrating experience. His skin was dry/tighter than normal...not sure if that had anything to do with it.
