    No it was not. Was through tattoogear4sale. The person claims they received the machine in a trade, and didn't know much about it.

    Its a definate fake Bishop. I can spot those things rather easy nowadays and unfortunately theres been alot of "Professional" tattooers that knowingly try to sell them as REAL ones. Im not sure in your case who the guy is or what his intentions are, but figured Id let you know. Thanx for checking

  5. Like Mr.Taboo, tatu richie liked this post.

    Thank you Franco. I let him know. He received it in a trade and wanted to trade it, but was unsure himself. So it is him who got burned in the end.

    if he was unsure, he shouldn't have tried trading it until he did the research that you had done. to me it sounds like he was trying to unload a shitty machine he possibly got in a trade. if you don't know you find out, and all of this is done before trying to post a trade to someone else. just bad form imho.

    I totally agree. He knew what he was doing.
