These machines tattoo really sweet. The shaders also do fat outlines like butter, and the liners do grey wash in an unusually perfect and predictable fashion. Every time I sell a machine, it's like a horrible breakup. I sleep next to every one, and I try to tattoo with every one as well. If I send you your machine without tattooing with it first, it's because I can tell that it has "the magic." I needle hard rubber for an hour or so once I assemble each machine. This places much greater demand on the machine than human skin does, and I can tell how it's going to tattoo from this test. I just made my first all-steel flywheel. That's going to Ron Earhart on his new shader. I also decided that tattooing demands too much from the offset pin to make it out of brass, so those will all be steel from now on. The current tube vise style I make is very grabby and reliable. If you have a hard time loading your tubes because they are extra fat, just pry open the vise a bit(carefully!) with a screwdriver. Make sure you loosen the thumbscrew first, duh :] I can't wait til everyone has TWO of my machines so we can all get excited about this new dimension in tattooing together!
