   Does anyone know if an electric demagnetizer would work to demagnetize my machine's frame after it has been affected by a long session? (the kind you may use to demagnetize tools and such)... or would running it over a demagnetizer damage the coils (due to the use of magnetic wire)??? I thought, if there is no damage done, this may be a rather easy solution to this "problem"... If you have any info on this matter, PLEASE let me know so I don't have to waste my time, my money (buying a demagnetizer), and/or damage a couple machines or sets of coils trying it for myself... Thanks!

They really don't like discussion of the craft here. But, as a non-tattoo artist I'll suggest trying holding your machine (unplugged) up to the center of the screen of an old NEC CRT and turning the monitor on. They had a healthy degauss coil that briefly energized every time you turned it on.

EXUME... unfortunately my "mentor" is dead... plus a lot of these old school guys aren't into the deep technical aspects. A couple old-timers I've asked already looked at me puzzled and said "we never worried about stuff like that", or " I never even heard of that..." type of thing...

seems you have no answer for me either...

 

PIDJONES... I appreciate your suggestion... although it seems to be a fair amount of trouble finding an old CRT monitor, I will keep it in mind. I was just hoping someone could tell me from personal experience, rather than blindly trying it and possibly damaging my coils... I'm sure you understand. I do appreciate your seemingly educated suggestion, though. Thanks!

slowburn the drift your not catching is that the subject of tattooing in the technical and professional areas is generally frowned upon here

not that your question isnt interesting or important i think it probably is

but its just not a discussion that will be entertained in these forum sections 

anyway - its a cool site - lots to enjoy 

good luck in addressing your questions hope you find the answers that bring you success

      Tattoo anxiety

      By Hogrider · Posted

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.

      Good luck. Job hunting sucks. I got laid off from a company after 20 years and it took six months to find a job. I was in the dreaded “middle” management role at an IT company. A little over two years later my new company was  bought out and they did a “restructuring” which means the people doing the work get fired so the people sitting on their fat asses get fatter.  I couldn’t find what I really wanted so I just retired. Might be a good time to think about switching fields.
