On more than one occasion, while talking ?shop talk? with other artists, the topic ofmachines always comes up. We have heard artists talking about machines built by other machine builders and have heard them comment, ?It?s a good machine? or ?Those machines are work horses??the question we had was, ?what do you think makes it agood machine??, ?Name some qualities that machine has, which make that machine agood machine.? Many artists DO NOT know what makes that machine a ?good?machine, they also DO NOT know what to do to make that machine a better machine.The fact is that many artists learn to put color in, they learn to shade and outline butnever know about the function of the main tool of their trade. We have heard storiesabout artists throwing a machine away because it didn?t run?when it could have beena simple repair job! Tattoo machines are investments, they are your money makers,you should protect your investments. If we compare the tattoo machine to a car, thereare several parallels that can be drawn between the two. A car can run hot, a machinecan run hot as well?an un-tuned machine will sound like and run like a car which isnot running on all cylinders?grounding problems will prevent a car from starting ora machine from running? And just like a car, a low grade clunker can be ?hot roddedout? to make it run great. The electromagnetic machine was based originally on aschematic for a door-bell?so, how complicated can this machine be?
