what machines do we all use

[evil-tattoo]

as a bit of a tattoo machine maniac , just wondering what machines you all use ?? , i use two handmade machines by buzz in canada(awesome machines ) ,three micky sharpz machines (a ltd micro dial and paul rodgers and a very early hybrid before they were mass produced top machine the best ive got )and an apollo and iron star,plus a couple of backups i made myself ,i also have various other machines as backup two more micky sharpz (t dial and a stainless hybrid ) a kaplan which i love but dont use as much as i should a spaulding machine and some old 80's panther product uk machines . also looking to buy some others a robinson - dixon brass machine and a celtic art machine

cheers evil tats

[Inkster]

Glynn Flew for me of which I have 4 of, I also have 2 american machines off ebay that work very well as cut back liners but not so good for colouring. even though they were sold as either.

I really like the friends one of the knuckle duster / cut throat, it looks great.

[timmy]

I have had my machines for about two years or more,liner and shader are both Joe Kaplans east coast style.It was a little trouble first starting out but once i learned about tuning a machine and all everything started to fall into place.,straighter lines and fuller shading.I plan on upgrading to some pulse equipment by summer, but i will hang on to my east coast style machines.

[Capt. Calzone]

Percy waters liner by Trey Antley, Paolini black sacred heart for shading are my daily machines. 10 and 12 wrap CCIrons for my back up and also a 10 wrap brass knuckle machine I put together using various parts.

[hydrophidian]

8 wrap dial for the lines, some frame I got from a buddy and got a rebuild kit with 10s for middle of the road, and a CC Irons 12 for the biggens. Also, nothing but starbrite and kuro sumi.

hey carl nice work , you did the chick w/ the guns ?????

[draugr]

I started with a Superior Wasp kit and another gun from E-Bay that looks like one from the Bicknee catalog I have,though I doubt its a Bicknee.Haven't had any trouble yet but I am getting a Strongman and an Iron star here in a few weeks now that x-mas is done.I am seriously looking at either Time Machine G2 and an Invader a/o Flatline as well as a couple of Micky Sharpz machines.

[tjh]

Somebody is probably gonna freak,but Ijust built an aluminum framed copy of aMini-STAR single coil machine. It took some research and a weekend to build but man does it sing.I used a 10 wrap coil,47cap.and other handmade parts(except tube&grip).So far Ive done 3 tats with it and no probs so far!Soon as I get my cam working Ill post some pics. P.S.-Works great with singles,3rd &t5rd. T.J. :twisted: [/list]

[BRISK28]

have a matched set o d fowler time machines, 1 stainless steel outliner the g shped one and a brass match for coloring and shading, still learning the art and this has been a great great website also i have a qustion, i was once told before that time machines come ready to use nearly no adjstments needed anyone else heard this? thank you again

[tjh]

hi everyone.got a couple pics to post of my single coil machine.any feedback would be muchly appreciated.(no probs so far,runs great!) :o t.j.pics should be in album.

[tjh]

sorry guys.cant get my pics onto gallery from my disk.F@#**d around for half an hour, still cant get it WTF is up with that man! any help there would be x-tremely appreciated dudes! T.J. :evil:

[Resurrected]

I currently have two machines made by national. They actually do a pretty good job. I haven't had any problems with them at all.

[carl]

hey dudes,
just ordered a new liner as i blew my coils up on my kev shercliff cutback liner so ithought id order myself a jaws just as a backup until my other liners fixed,what are the jaws machines like?
all feedback would be greatly received cheers
carl

[Inkster]

How did you blow the coils, did they actually go pop or bang or is it a figure of speech, if they went pop it would probably be the cap, if the coils exploded then I would check out your power supply before plugging in a new machine.

P.S. I don't think the Kev Shercliff machine is worth repairing, I think you should sell it me cheap! :wink:

[evil-tattoo]

and me lol

[carl]

lol nice try guys,ive only just noticed that ive ordered the jaws 2 and its got a jack for the clip cord and guess what :oops: i only got a traditional clip cord,damn.is there a way i can adapt my old clip cord?i hope so cos im itchin to use the jaws 2 soon as it arrives.

or rather than adapting my old 1 could i buy a clip cord with a jack 1 end and spring clips the other then snip the spring clip off and atatch 2 bananna clips?


p.s as for the kev shercliff it was a capacitor... oops :twisted:[/url]

[carl]

well guys,
i couldnt get on with the jaws machine its a little to heavy for my liking so i bought a waters style machine :D off glyn flew and i think its the sweetest running and sounding machine ive owned to date,its pretty damn good.

gotta take my hat off to the guy,hes good at what he does.

[Inkster]

Yep, I have 4 of Glyn's machines, I have a Roger 1, 2 x Clone and 1 Bulldog style. I don't use the bulldog as I prefer a guillotine vice grip.

[carl]

[adirondack_inker]

[hotdiggitydawg]

My fav machine is my "Bitsa" (it's got bitsa everything on it), it's set up as a cut back speed liner and it's goes like a wasp on steroids.
I have three more "Heinz" machines (57 different varieties) which i have learned to build, tune and run perfectly for my style of use so far.
I've got a frame coming to build on plus i'm open to DONATIONS:D

But my Dream machine is a Black lotus II.... man she looks sweet

[FORGIVEN]

ok ...sent 10 machines to joe's instead of 8 ...but ....
recently have gotten a sweet little liner ,..... a reaallly nice stilted coil machine with 1940s wire wrapped coils ...and waiting on a brass anchor machine w/ some sailor jerry (hot stuff) coils ....to match this beauty ....and expecting 4 other machines when i get to the shop tommorow !!!! life is good !!!!
hooked up with a friend who can cast machines ,,,hehe ...here we go !!!!!

[MisterGG]

Hi!

I use Micky Sharpz T-Dial for coloring and some shading.

for shading and some lining i use a heavily modified Ironstar that a friend of mine has rebuilt.

And i have two Paco Rollins for shading and lining, they are really sweet with som modifications (i dont like his springs though)

[lowshovel1]

I currently have two machines made by national. They actually do a pretty good job. I haven't had any problems with them at all.
I just read an iterview with Danny Fowler, if I read it corectly, he said national builds a good machine! I don't own one, I do have one of the frames(free from freind), put it together with spare parts------nice ballance

[smokin'chimp]

i own 2 danny's tattoo machines. these are from a supplier in the uk(danny's tattoo supplies)As these were the first machines i ever bought i had nothing to compare them to, and obviously my technique wasn,t too developed. since then i have bought kev shercliffe machines hearing of his good rep. these machines r good but i found them light compared 2 the danny's brass machines and a bit fragile. the only problem with dannys machines is they have a jack plug power connection which is why i didnt use them for a while. anyway i fitted a clipcord connection to one of the machines and used it today. i have to say i was very pleased . i found it to be a real good smooth runner. i love the extra weight.i suppose its a personal preferance ,and the fact my technique has improved since i last used them. i just wish they didnt have the jack plug connection which is a pain in the arse but i also love the flexibility of the machine(brass bolt up)which can be adjusted from liner to shader in seconds by having an adjustable spring hanger. has anyone else used these machines much and what do they think

[framey]

danny makes a good solid reliable dependable zapper

[smokin'chimp]

yes. just wanted to know what anybody else thought of them. you dont here much about them and i think i,ll get a couple more because they aren,t too pricey either. ill just have to switch the power connection on them ,which isn,t that hard to do.

[jjbbuzz]

1, mickey sharpz micro dial brass (liner,),
2, eco powerline , (colour )
3, its brass frame ,8 ,eikon coils,( liner,)

Superior V-Rad - lining, 2 ITS machines for shading and coloring

[undercover art]

I got two Superior "wasps", everyone tells me they suck, but I set em up right, and they rock for me! I also got a Kaplan piece o crap I'm about to replace everything except the frame on, just got some pulse coils, eikon tru-springs, and brass contact posts, and a silver contact screw. I might carve the frame before rebuilding, but I don't know, that shit kind of looks stupid sometimes.....

[Inkspressit]

1 Kaplan Brass EC Shader, altered the side arm, custom coiled etc
1 Kaplan Oldtimer (no Longer Sold) nice unit without Mods
1 National Eagle (Stock)

1 Spaulding Puma (again only a spaulding frame my own custom 8Wraps, drops an 8L like a 3)love it
2 Chinese frames, 1 seriously altered, both with my own personal running gear.
1 Stainless J-Frame built myself (stainlees is a bitch for folding and drilling..lol)
1 Strongman, frame ground down to remove weight and add shape, rebuilt with a set of my own Custom 10's
5 Varying designs all custom built myself, running from 8's - 12's.

And thats about it for now.

Dgapp....I got the drawings ready, send me an email and ill buzz em over.(you should have my email addy from my last PM)

[nidaddy]

I started W/ a pair of WorkHorse Irons, an Aaron Cain Bottle Cap Liner, and a Soba Pilot Shader.
I recently rebuilt a Spaulding and Rogers Puma with Workhorse hardware including Soba ten wrap coils, and I also bought and built the Green Monster shader kit from Eikon.

[wonderboy]

couple of people say theyv got a green monster by eikon im considering getting one myself, what do you think to them are they any gd?

[j7899]

Here is a good write up about them:

http://www.allentattoo.com/green/

The only issue I have read about is the tube vise, and also the clip cord holes sometimes having paint in them causing poor contact.

[wonderboy]

cheers J man

[crackink81]

thats true but its not all bad they look awesome and the hard wear is shit hot

[richart]

I use a couple of PACO's
have a few of Framey's awesome builds which are now my machines of choice!

[DemonDan]

Running, A Few custom builds by (Inkspressit), All Run great! and a sharpz that framey sent over.... Thanks again Framey

[ADUBB1]

I got a nice brass D Fowls '01 #1793 as my liner(love it), not sure what my shader is. I bought them off my tatoo artist, he said the shader came from the U.K. but its been running like crap lately so I just ordered a YATES mud flap girl(brass) 10 coil. Anybody use YATES guns? I haven't got it yet. I was also wondering about PRECISION tattoo machines and NEXT GENERATION, if anyone could tell me where to find them and/or how good they are I would appr it. Thanks. Oh i'm guessing D Fowls (engraved on the bottom of the gun) means Danny Fowler?? Anyone?

[BLOODLUST]

Dave hills are great.

[DemonDan]

I have used machines from all the places you are talking about, they are pretty much what you make of em! Thats just my 2 cents.. Right out the box, I would say NG, but thats just me. Hope thats helps you out...

Demon

[ADUBB1]

my tattoo artist uses NG machines. I just asked him the other day how he liked em, he said thier good but not enough to but another set.
I got my Yates machine, seems to run very strong, also its a bit heavy, I think i'll like it though, I haven't used it yet.

[purple9111]

i use a flatline for color my liner and shader im not even sure what they are and i just got an old d.fowler but its got a 23 or 22 gauge eikon tru spring back spring and it wont run under 10 volts and i think 18 front spring.
man there a lot of posts on this thread

[Inkspressit]

check the tension in your rear spring, 10V is getting up there.

[purple9111]

im not using it on ppl my regular springs wont fit on it i need to cut one a bit so it will fit

[pookie]

6 Tony Bennett machines (based at isle of wight,britain) all very versatile and run on low voltage.Best ive used including Sharpz machines

[pudscud]

early irons shader, micro liner, and color machines, ITS shader with pulse a-bar and eikon springs, ITS liner, same thing, and a junebug shader.

[FORGIVEN]

Heheheh....

[undercover art]

A few different ones......a liner from Forgiven, a Bicknee dial, a bulldog, an Iron star (reworked it yesterday) and a couple of Jonesys, then I also have my collection of frames I've been building (although they are nothing more than paperweights at the moment........

cool, I'm up to 200 posts again! I hope I don't loose them all again.....

[pookie]

I also had a cut back liner from glynn flew which i sold last year, wish i didnt as gota admit it was a good machine but live and learn

[papadurivage]

1. I have an aluminum liner that i rebuilt using an old kaplan east coast frame.. it lays solid lines.. but I hardly ever use it.. Completely retired and in parts now..
2. An old coastal swing gate that I rebuilt.. decent.. rebuilt again..now its just for packing color with mags
3. Technical Cutback from TTS.. good fast liner.. still going strong
4. A Grinder Dave/Lucas Ford custom handbuilt shader.. my most prized possesion.. I dont use this much.. mainly because I never want to wear it out..

next machines I'm getting are gonna be workhorses..Never ended up getting any of these..yet.

Since then I have picked up a National Deluxe swing-gate liner... and a Mickey Sharpz contraption shader.. they are my daily drivers..

[mattoo]

For shading I have a Fowler Invader which rocks with a seven mag, just bought a G force for solid work, Two Glyn flews( nice E bay machines) Early irons custom for lining (awesome machines) and an Iron strongman from here which is my colorer for small rounds. Now that I became decent at tuning and tearing machines apart I seem to be able to get most machines to suit me. A tip from a 2 year beginner to other new guys. Buy a machine from here ( good at a good price) tear that sucker apart, fool with it to get that abar smacking that front coil flat, fool with the springs and air and point gaps. Everything will eventually make sense JUST REMEMBER try your machines out on yourself before someone else!!

[coggledots]

1. Rogers style - Sharpz liner (Framey coils)
2. Fowler ally 'G' shader (Framey coils)
3. Essex boy micro dialer (Framey coils)

Is that the one which you CAN'T adjust to your own style of working? Voids the warrenty if you do? All parts inc. springs replaced free as long as you alter nothing?

This i don't get? Thought you were supposed to tune a machine to work for you, NOT adjust your style to the machine?

Just added an Iron Horse mini to my collection, was cheap, runs great, looks pretty. Ofcourse any "mini" machines amuse me. I think the short coils look sexeh.
