What is the difference between a shader and liner tattoo machine?
Please help me I have a tattoo kit and I recently did a couple tattoos but I am unsure of which tattoo machines are which. I don't know how to tell them apart and I don't know the difference between the different tips and which to use for what. How deep to I go to make a tattoo and what size needles do I use for lining vs. Shading??? Please help me and tell me what I need to know for tattooing. Ps. The kit came with 4 machines so I don't think they are all the same. Oh yeah and what voltage should the power supply box be on???

Those machines are awful to use in the long run, but good for just starting out. There are machines you can buy where you don't have to switch when doing lining and then shading. Neotat Vivace is a good one.
