Building Tattoo machines is something that I really enjoyed doing. However,  all i have been using for the last several years are the pen style rotaries. I will always have love and have great memories for the coil machine.. The machines below are some that I built and what I used  before switching over to rotary. I have spent many hours learning and building the coil machine but now with rotaries and cartridges I can focus more on my tattooing and painting.
