The Cartridge Dilemma | Cooper | EP 267

Join us in the Inside Fireside Tattoo Club https://explore.firesidetattoo.com/inside-fireside Join Cooper and Jake at the Paradise Tattoo Gathering this October 12-15th https://tattoogathering.com/ In this episode, Back for round 3, we have Cooper! This time Jake and Coop take a deep dive into the technology side of things. They discuss how tattoo equipment and gear has been changing over time and what the tattoo community could do to make some serious positive change. Cooper also talks more directly about cartridges, tattoo machines and different ideas about potential improvements. A ton of great little nuggets and ideas, this is definitely not one to be missed. Check out the Deep Dive Page on FiresideTattoo.com: https://www.firesidetattoo.com/tattoo... Coop's notes on cartridge configurations by manufacturer: Bishop/DaVinci does not show needle configuration on website but a sales person at their store told me the shaders did not have center needles Kwadron website does not show configurations Prime website does not show configurations Tat Soul/Envy does show configurations in website and can confirm that the medium taper round shaders do in fact have center needles in their configurations and are straight tapered and not tight tapered at the top. This makes sense to me as I have had the best one pass lines with the needles (18rs textured) I have tried from them in particular.
