Well, when you do line work, your gap on the spring should be the thickness of a dime. And for shading, the thickness of a nickel. Of course, everyone does it different, but this is just for beginning.
-This may be the answer you were looking for but to take the question literally I believe you are asking for the actual gauge of the spring stock. Simply put it is mostly up to your personal tastes as a Tattoo Artist but the general rule of thumb is the thicker the spring the faster it will go, so for example you may use .013 - .018 for a shader and .017- .022 for a liner, you may also change the gauges between the main (back) and timing (front spring) but generally only within .002 eg. .018 main .020 timing.

The udometer is a machine. It is a rain gauge.
How do manual weight scales work?
They have a spring attached to a dial or needle pointing at the weight on a gauge. Both spring and gauge are highly calibrated.
When the UTM is switched off why does the dial gauge reading reset backGive reaso.?
When the UTM (Universal Testing Machine) is switched off, the dial gauge reading resets back due to the mechanical design of the gauge. Most dial gauges operate with a spring mechanism that returns the pointer to a zero position when the machine is powered down. This is done to ensure accurate measurements upon reactivation and to prevent damage to the gauge during power fluctuations. Such resetting helps maintain the integrity and reliability of subsequent tests.
How can you tell if it is a 16 gauge or 20 gauge?
20 gauge is really little. 16 is a little bit bigger then a large safety pin. If you wanna make sure ask a tattoo artist or body piercer.

What is the difference between a liner and shader tattoo gun?
If I promise to answer this one, ya gotta promise me one thing.....QUIT CALLING THE SACRED TATTOO MACHINE A 'GUN', sorry didnt mean to shout it so loud, but remember......GUNS kill people, MACHINES make the guns that kill people...... O.K., now that we got that straight, you may have seen a tattooer use one machine just loading different tubes on it to use as outliner or shader. While this may be acceptable to some, I like to set my machines for the different types of functions. My outliner runs a lil' faster and has a decent stroke length so that I dont worry about going to light....After all without the right depth the ink will have 'holidays' in it. My shaders tend to run a lil' slower depending on the function.....If I am pushing a big magnum, it will have more stroke....My rounds tend to run a lil' slower....And I have a machine set up to shade flat magnums and another to do round shading with.....Hope this does it cuz anymore than that you'll have to be my apprentice!! Sorry, no openings right now....TatuBaron I agree with everything here except for one. Guns do NOT kill people, they are a tool just like a tattoo machine. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. A tattoo machine doesn't tattoo you, a person does. The wrench doesn't fix your car, the person weilding it does. While I can't think of any ways to kill a person with a tattoo machine itself(although certain tattoo's might accomplish you getting maimed by other people), almost any tool can kill, or be used in the proper manner. By the way a gun has saved my life, as well as allowed my children to live. I do agree with TatuBaron, don't call a tat machine a gun. Yes it does project ink into the skin, but gun is an outdated term, which provides a negative stigma to the art. With all the bad press from a few bad artists giving the whole community a bad name for health and safety reasons, it's just not cool. TatuBaron, you may ink like a tatooist but you answer like a scratcher. Here's the answer: Most machines can be both, it just depends on how you set your rear post, and adjust your supply. What you have to understand is that it requires more power to run the large mag needles than the smaller liners. If you have a machine with only 8 wrap coils I wouldn't recommend using it with large mag or rounds. For serious coloring and shading you're gonna want a machine with at least 10 wrap coils installed to push the heavier weight. Just do yourself a favor and have 2 10 wrap coiled machines ready to go, 1 with the setup for lining and one for shading and you shouldn't run into problems. Oh, and the machine is not a sacred thing, it's a freaking tool. Question poster, call it a machine, call it a gun. It doesn't matter what you call it, just what you can do with it. First off "sacred" is a relative term. Some might use it to describe a medium for a "greater than the sum of..." experience, in which case it would be sacred to that person. Now as for your answer it is more than just how you set your post and the power supply. There are different gauge springs and different stroke settings and how an individual tattoos. There are a number of ways to go about it. Essentially a liner will run faster w/ a shorter stroke to avoid holidays vs. the power and overall area that a shader must cover. Bullcoop --A tattoo machine in the hands of someone without at least basic professional sterilization training may very well be called "A Gun." Hep C and HIV are very effective "bullets." Mike
