It's a cheap piece of shit and it will fall apart in no time and the problem is solved. What's the concern all about? Personally I don't worry much about "should"..fact is it exists and there's nothing short of invading China that anyone can do about it. And for tattooers of ALL PEOPLE to talk about unoriginality, well, that's so rich I can barely type this I'm laughing so hard. Here's a test, everybody..go look at your tattoo portfolio and figure out what percentage of those photos are of tattoos you drew from your imagination vs things you took from some other artist or photographer, traced, and called it your own.

I agree with Bruce's attitude 100% as a machine builder, i scour tons of what is out there's online, getting ideas, most of the shit doesn't make sense until i actually get a makin a machine, then i realize what i am looking at, change whatever accordingly, and sometimes dif than the original ref that hadn't made sense before i ran in to said problem building blind. The only thing in my opinion wrong with slave labour produced chinese machines is just that, the labour practices. the materials are what they are, you get what you research to have gotten, and if you are too lazy to research, don't complain to me. As far as copying design, i find it hard to believe that any builder with half a brain more than ego wouldn't be more than flattered their machines design were chosen to copy.
