Communication Breakdown...

If you e-mailed me in the past 4-6 months and did not get a response, please try me again.  I just cleaned out my inbox and tried to catch up on anything I might have overlooked.  I'm not the most organized person.... and I'm a tattooer = ultra flakey at times.  I apologize if I did not reply to your messages.

On a similar note... I'm going to be simplifying the way I take machine orders.  From now on,  throw a money order ($400) and a detailed note in an envelope and send it my way.  Upon receiving your payment, I will email you to confirm payment and you will then be on the list!  It's that easy!!!  I'll do my best to accommodate your requests as long as your not too bossy.  This will cut down on the back and forth via email and phone calls and will essentially get you your machine much faster!  Everyone wins.

Rebuilds...  I'm not taking anymore rebuilds at this time.  It's been a super hectic summer and I'd really like to get caught up on the ones I already have.  I'm planning on lifting this embargo in December when things slow down again, so stay tuned.

WOW! I need to get this blog updated!

I have so much respect for the people out there who faithfully update their blogs.  I can't seem to find the time, so.... my "blog" has turned into an un-updated, failed website.  Maybe one of these days I'll have the time to really get on this and make it into what it really should be.  Dare to dream.  In the meanwhile, here's some pics of some of the things I've been up to.  Now back to work.

Tattooing Devices...

For Ms. Karrie Blackbird

For Mr. Jerrad DeRossett

For Mr. Will Lollie

For Mr. Chris Lain

Such a comedian...

Oh Mr. Leffel, you are quite a character.  Another installment of "this my life...".  I've got a stockpile of these drawings somewhere. When I find them, I'll be sure to share them with the world.  Heath really needs to get his comic book career off the ground.  I really think the tattoo community would appreciate it.

On a more serious note, I built the machine pictured above for Mr. Weston Keisel.  Thank you sir for your patronage.

A few new machines....

Work.... it'll keep you out of trouble. Que pics.

For Chris Barnett

For Neil Wilson

Above are a couple of custom hand-poke devices I fabricated. Fun little project.

After staying up for a total of 40 hours straight in preperation for the Jet City tattoo expo... I prevailed! Went from 2 completed machines to 16! Then I was so tired and over it, I only took pictures of 2 completed machines. Ugh... they didn't even come out all that great. Oh well... I'm pretty over cataloging machines at this point, I'm way more into building them and getting them out in the world for people to use!

Did a few tattoos on the lovely people of the Northwest, had a few beers, a few laughs, and made it home in one piece. Que pics...

Tattoo Machines...

Zappers

No news to report, just working my ass off in the machine shop. Here's one I finished up today for Aaron Coleman... Rogers style bulldog.  Thanks Aaron!

Just started this project the other day. Thanks Shelly. Hopefully next session won't be as painful.





Here's another fun one I was lucky to do last week. Thanks Cory for getting such a fun banger!

Ebayers beware...

There is a Turnermade Tattoo Machine on Ebay right now. Nothing wrong with that, but this dude is bananas! His starting bid is $750! And that's not the worst part... He tried auctioning this machine months ago for $1200! Anyone who falls for this is a chump. I can build anyone a similar machine (maybe even a better one, given this machine is a few years old) for half that price. So, heads up - don't buy this crap.
