I’m sending you another batch of photos unfortunately during processing, some of the colour work seems to have bleached out a little, but I’m sure you will agree the black stuff has come out great. Thanks for printing the photo of Rachel in issue no. 1. That tattoo has grown into the leg/rib/shoulder piece in these photos !!

Stick them in the three needle hole in the needle bar jig for tightening just like a three needle group. When soldering on a liner bar, remember that the top needle in the needle group triangle is the good one, and as usual, the bar rides underneath.
Let’s move on to shaders. It may sound strange, but one of the most useful tools for constructing shader needle groups is a rectangular hone. Measuring about 1×3 x 1/4 inches, they are inexpensive and can be purchased from your tattoo supplier who also has a shader needle kit available. A leveller can be made from plastic, plexiglass or glass and measure about one square inch. These two items are used in conjunction with each other. In making the six needle shader, first select six good needles and double check them with an eye loupe. Lay them flat on the stone bunched tightly together, but flat, one next to the other. The sharp points should extend about 1/4 inch off the end of the stone. While still holding tight the needles on the stone with the thumb, take the leveller and very carefully push the needles in slightly. Make sure you touch all six. This ensures that all six are in alignment with each other. This is important so none of the needles are sticking out more than the rest. While still maintaining pressure with thumb so the group is tight, flat next to each other, and level and in alignment, now proceed to tack the end. The stone works great because it will absorb flux, won’t make a mess and can be used repeatedly. When fully absorbed with flux, just wrap it up in a few paper towels and use a new stone. The towels will eventually draw out the flux and in about a month you can use the stone over again. Have a supply of stones handy so that you can have one available at all times. Tightening isn’t really necessary with shaders if pressure is maintained while tacking the groups. It may take some time to do this efficiently, but with practice you can get it down pat.
