1. There are 7 layers in human skin, the ink should only enter under the first layer, and not deeper than the second layer.
2. Use the skill "Riding the tube", It need more practice to get hand feel.
3. Before tattooing on human skin, the tattoo needle should stick out of the gun between 1/16 and 1/32 of an inch. we usually set a depth of as thick as a Canadian dime, about 1.22mm for outlining. And for shading, about 3/32" on a 10 layers coil machine, and 1/16" on 8 wrap coil machines.
4. Test the setting on a grapefruit, be sure not let the fruit shred.
5. Take the machine apart and put it together again for several times, This is highly recommended to novices.
6. Well control the force of the whole machine helps to keep the ink depth constant.

How do tattoo guns work?
Tattoo guns, or tattoo machines, work by using electromagnetic coils to create a circuit that rapidly moves a needle up and down. The needle punctures the skin at a controlled speed and depth to deposit ink into the dermis layer, creating the tattoo. The speed and depth of the needle can be adjusted to achieve different tattoo effects.

What size needles do what for a tattoo machine?
The needle size does absolutely nothing for a tattoo machine. A needle to a machine is like a brush to the hand. Different tools for different needs. If you want mor information, get an apprenticeship under a skilled tattooist and they can give you more in depth information.
How fast does a tattoo needle go?
A tattoo needle has no set speed. You the artist sets the speed using the contact screw on the Tattoo machine, as well as adjusting the voltage. If you set the needle speed to slow it can puncture the skin rather then pierce it, causing more blood to seep through the skin making it harder for the ink to stay in the skin. If you set the needle too fast it can cause the skin to tear or even mulch. Essentially turning the outer layers of skin to a hamburger ( Ground Beef ) like state. This will cause scarring to the person receiving the tattoo, and the ink will not set properly leaving the tattoo discoloured and possible disfigurement. So make sure you set your speed carefully. I tend to have mine set to what I guess at Approx 10 ~ 15 DPS ( drops of the needle per second ) I hope this helped!
