[Mr.Taboo]

IMHO Junk mostly due to seeing the kits for sale (http://www.tattoomachineequipment.com/hildbrandt-rotary-tattoo-machine-starter-kit) to me " Kits=Junk Seller ".

[andrewc]

oh yea they got the china "RADIANT" ink a guy a know decided to try tattooing and got a kit with that shit and it was SOLID! holy smokes

[andrewc]

Actually those frames they make the marlin etc. were made by them and have been around for awhile and are know copied by the china for sell on ebay and other cheap sites. althoe alot of other stuff they know sell is from china such as ink etc they did not start out that way.
Has anybody had a look at http://www.dermagraphics.net/store/ they know carry all kinds of china ripoff machines to. It seems like supliers all starting to do this.

Damn I use to buy from Dermagraphics years ago back when they were NJ the were a pretty stand up company back then.
Guess everyone is cashin' in for the fast buck.

[Mr.Taboo]

Wow that's some vid , no gloves on for assembly and set up , food prep gloves for tattooing hair hangin' down in the work and tattooing in what looks like her living room.
Stay Classy.

There is some irony in that video. I am friends with the father of one of the kids on the couch. The irony lies in that the girl in the video performing the tattoo is a Sterile Processing Technician. She also apparently won $1000 for her efforts creating the video. Finally one of the crack heads living in the house set it on fire this summer. It is a small world.

Did a little search came up with http://www.tattoomachineequipment.com/tattoo-contest which sums up the contest.

I have ordered from Hildbrandt, but only to buy a Sullen backpack, which I love.
