Fairly new to rotaries, and the no give vibe leaves me a bit weary. Last night I was working on a wrist tattoo (fat infinity symbol, who would have thought) relatively simple banger. Boyfriend got a matching one on the ribs, a bit bigger. I did his first and loaded the mc14 with a 9 mag for solid black fill at 4mm stroke. Like butter. Went in fast. A 3x2 solid black infinity with some script went on about ten Minutes. Set up for the wrist, got the script lined, went in to do the shading loaded with a 7 mag this time, and I just could not get it to be solid. After about two passes she was pretty swollen so I opted her to come back to touch it up. Wrists have always given me a bit of a headache for some reason, but this machine just seemed to chew the skin up pretty fast. Oh, if I remember correctly it was running around 6-6.5 volts. Let me know your thoughts on this. Sounds like an amateur issue but it's been boggling my brain all night.
