Seems there's been a number of threads that have drifted into the direction that this one has, and I still don't get the argument? Sure, the likes of Paul Booth (and whoever else you'd like to put on that list) could most likely do a better tattoo with the a low quality machine then the average artist, but when has anyone seen someone of his caliber tattooing with junk? (as I'm writing this I know someone will just have to try and prove me wrong, save your time...the point is that across the board very few artists of this caliber tattoo with low quality machines, period) Point being that although you can very well tattoo with anything that makes a needle go up & down, the better quality machine you have, the better your work will be. I'll take the Pepsi challenge anytime you'd like. Break out that prison gun and do a tattoo with it, then tattoo with one of my Aaron Cain's...I think you'll find a slight difference! Bottom line is that machines do make a huge difference in the outcome of a tattoo.
As to the question that was put on the table to kick off this thread, I don't have a clue about the machine you're asking about. Although it would be really cool to find a machine for $70 that does the job for you, and lasts at least long enough to make some money with it, I seriously doubt that you're going to find what you're looking for in this machine. Then again, I could be wrong..I mean if you believe you can tattoo that well with a home made gun, then it'll probably be an upgrade to what you're working with now right? So go for it, don't let anyone in here decide for you, find out for yourself. It could very well be the best $70 you'll ever spend and take your tattooing to levels beyond anything you could imagine. (or not)
I'm kind of curious though, if you could post a pic or two of the work you were doing with your Radio Shack deal, that would be great. I'm interested in seeing what you believe is quality?
