Hi, I am new to the forum and even if I tried to use the search bar I haven't been able to find the answers i was looking for.
I have been tattooing for about 1 year with a s*itty pen machine that my friend gifted me, and I have become quite good with it.
My main problem is that I love really bold lines (14-18 rs) and my machine can't really punch them needles in, so I wanted to buy myself a good coil machine.
The doubt that I have is: if I want to use a coil to line with a shader needle should I get a shader or liner setup machine. As far as I know the difference is that a shader machine is a bit more ''powerful'' as it has to punch in larger needle configurations, but searching on Google I couldn't really find an answer.
Also, I just want one coil to line with, as my pen machine runs pretty smooth at shading.
So, if anyone can help me out it would be great and advices from which manufacturer to buy (prefer handmade) are much appreciated (surfing on this forum I found out that Kylin machines have a pretty good price-quality compromise, would love to hear more from someone who knows more than me).
Have a great day you all!
