just another old shcool rotary, a little diferent from the last one. i think if i had been around in the 1860s this is what my tattoo machine would have been like.
Hey John! I have a sideways single coil you built and a brass rotary with an arm that gets pulled by a spinning magnet. I didn’t know you had a youtube- cool! Loved the explanation!
Very nice work! As a brain teaser, check out an old patent poster, I just saw. “1891 tattoo machine: S.F. O’Reilly” It’s enough to keep you busy for awhile. I love these old machines!
mate you should get one of these on ebay i bet it would do well i'd love to have one for my studio.... maybe not to use as i like the new school stealth and stigma rotaries for tattooing (coils for big tribal work) but dammit i could sit there and stare at that contraption all day its f**kin art you've made there
