This is practically the same as China ripping off a design. I could use this machine below and get the same quality results in my tattoo. Sure the motor might blow out in a few months, but its $15 to replace it, and at that rate it would still last two years and be cheaper. Just my two cents. I check the forum daily for new products and just see the same damn thing over and over.

There is a long long thread about this on the site started long ago about what we are really reinventing. There are certain machine types that are popular and the physics and mechanics of tattooing can only be modified so much. If you choose to use a machine like the one in the photo and it works for you good on you. I could go on but I would rather not derail this thread anymore. If you want to open a dialog about this you are more than welcome to somewhere else on the board but the last one quickly became a bit of a hornets nest for no legitimate reason.
