Bringing nearly 25 years of experince to this workshop, tattooer and longtime machine maker, Seth Ciferri will address and discuss various approaches to shader/coloring coil tattoo machine tuning, knowing the difference between liners and shaders, understanding why they have a specific function, and getting comfortable with making adjustments and repairs on your own. Participants will leave the workshop confident in cutting and bending springs and knowing what to look/listen for in a properly tuned machine. The next time your shader fails you, be prepared to handle it yourself, saving time and money. workshop 2 will focus on SHADERS.
