    Northern light

    Hello everyone. I finally have my tattoo machines built & my site is up & running. It's still under construction so please forgive me for spelling errors & any other issues on my site. I was so exited I had to show you guys since this is currently the only forum I'm active on. Also look for work from Jamie Mackay of Sacred Temple tattoo in Nova Scotia on the site as he will be using them aswell.

    Here is the link to my site.

    Is the body one piece or two screwed together, I found it hard to make single hollow frames, just curious as to how you made it. Nice design though, I like the profile view, almost reminds me of mine. Oh clip cord adapters are still popular for some reason, you should add some just in case. Looks cool though, I want to see through the middle if poossible. I like the name too!

    very unique! couple of questions!
    1: is the frame cut,bent then tig welded in key areas?
    2 what is the screw/bracket on the back side above gloved hand?
    3 What type of motor?
    4 What is the stroke and amount of give?
    5 Re you offering any type of warranty?
    I think by following your work on here, your tattoos have looked alot better when you stared using it, so it must be a great running machine!

    Thanks guys. To answer your questions. Cyberitual, the frame is one solid piece. Slicksteel, here are the answers to your questions:
    1. Yes they are. They are cut with a cnc plasma cutter then bent & welded.
    2. The screw/bracket is the spring mount.
    3. The motor is pretty much the same as a stealth motor I get from a chinese supplier.
    4.The stroke & amount of give is totally up to you, the artist. It will come pre tuned to be a good all around machine. The spring that is in it will affect give & stroke. It will come with a 0.016mm spring. I will have other spring sizes for sale in the next week or 2. With the 0.016 spring the other point of tuning which is 2 different size o-rings that can be quickly changed gives it 2 nice stoke sizes. They are:
    -LARGE O-RING gives it a long stroke, about 3.7mm & a nice give.
    -SMALL O-RING gives it a slightly shorter stroke, about 3mm with less give than the large o-ring option.
    Changing the o-rings takes like 10 seconds. If these specs are not what you want you can give the o-ring setting different specs by changing out the springs. These will be sold pre assembled to the "swing arm" which makes very easy to change. It take only 30 seconds to change out.
    This machine basically has full tuning capabilities.
    -I have a 1 year warrenty on them.

    Hope this answers your questions. If you have any more let me know.
