Found this entry about an antique Rotary Tattoo Machine that lives in the private collection of Tim Hendricks of Salt Water Tattoo. Tim is also a very well respected west coast tattooer and machine builder, though as far as I can tell he has not made any Rotary machines to date.
Wow, I just read this and that machine is pretty crazy and loaded with features.
Hahahaha!Quote:

for some reason he hates making these rotaries, but he's got something really cool in the works rotary wise.
knowing john it might come out next week or next decade, he's a man with many irons in many fires...

I'm pretty sure that's an electric pen, a dressmakers automatic pounce for pattern making . Note the wire guide ring to assure perpendicularity .

I agree-doesn't look vintage to me ,just a homemade piece of junk. Probably not as good as most prison made machines.Quote:
