better tubes and tips,better tattoos

I was wondering if anyone has noticed that when using an inferior tube that the quality of the lines you make differ from that of lines with a better made tube and tip.And if so what is the difference in the way the needle works?

its just best that the tip is the right size for the needle grouping that you are using. some of the cheaper tubes out there dont fit right and are inconsistant. i think next gen has great tips.

could also be the tip shape. depends on what you prefer. i have some diamond tips that i dont like to use on finer lines because i feel i can see the needles better out of a round tip.

All my tips are diamond and really havent used round tips but maybe I will check them out.Thanks for the input

Definitely... for me it's a combo of tips and grips. I started out using technical tubes/tips/grips, but after too many rusting parts i decided to make the switch and switch i did.... from one end of the spectrum to the other i went Blitz or Pulse and i'll never go back.

The comfort and quality definitely leads to better tattoos.

this thread is a nobrainer, if you tattoo with cheap inferior s&!t, you will produce cheap inferior tattoos

not necessarily max I have seen a pretty well known guy tattoo with superior equipt. and do a kick ass tattoo just to prove that wrong.

If he tattoos great with cheap s&!t, imaging what he could do with quality, that is my piont.
post some of his work

cheap tips will effect your work, and i mean how they are machined. technical has some of the s&!tiest stuff i have ever seen. i mean the tips dont even fir the tails, or one side is like .050 and the other is .020. wich means your needles will be off centered. their shuvel tips dont even fit the f@#king needles made for them. s&!t=s&!t

i had this happen to me three times. i sent back tips that wouldnt fit their own needles. 11 mag specifically. they wouldnt refund me, nothing. actually cam is the same way, but WOULD refund me. i wont order from technical ever again in my life.
