i make these from raw metal. they are essentially electro magnets. the coils are basically like an old door bell. i usualy make them crusty and nasty on purpose to make them look about 50 years old. just thought i'd share.

Those are nice. My tattoo guy builds and sells machines as well. I know how much he charges, so I am assuming that you are making some amount of coin. How much do some of yours go for?

These gotta be my faves. That second one looks like a razor handle. Smooth... I wish I could do that. Any advice for a first class wannabe?

haha thanks. are you refering to the yellow tint on the coils or the red on the frame?

the coils have a coat of shellac on them. the frame is 360 brass that i spray painted red then chucked it down the street.

LOve em both the coils and the frame. The whole thing is killer and the brass is the icing!

Nice machines and solid neo-traditional tattoos. I get my work done by Ezra Haidet over @ Triple Crown Tattoo http://triplecrowntattoo.com/. Are you coming to town for the Star of Texas Convention http://www.golivefast.com/contentsaus.php?
