Dan Kubin - A Day In The Life 

if it means anything, electric motors work because of coils too.

thats my favorite as well

Well there are a lot of good quality factory made machines today and most tattoo artists will go this route. Though his specifically are made by hand and sells for around $1,000 dollars on his store most of the time. However they were all originally made by hand before the early nineties I believe but when they came out with the factory ones then they were cheap and not well manufactured.

Yes. When I apprenticed there was MAYBE 3 companies selling irons/tattoo machines. National Tattoo, Spaulding and Rogers, Pacific, and Peter Tattoo were the first to pioneer mass production in the 70’s and 80’s. Some artists like Mickie Sharpz have been making and selling machines since the 90’s. For decades you had to know how to build a tattoo machine, needles and ink all BEFORE you were taught how to actually tattoo. You had to be a craftsman first, artist second. You had to apprentice just to learn all the secrets from so many aspects of art, electronics, soldering, milling, engraving, etc etc. Things are much different now. Now there’s enough tattooists out there that Dan can make his living making machines only. Now Amazon is selling cartridges and pens.🤦🏻‍♂️ Some tattooists made their names as greatest ink makers. Some made their name drawing flash (tattoo designs drawn by guys like Huck Spaulding, JD Crow, Eddie Lee, etc.) Dan is a well-known traditional artist and either loved or hated (pretty standard in this industry 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️.) Remember, if you ain’t got haters you ain’t living right. Edit: there was once a time, before the internet happened, where we made sure ONLY other artists in the tattoo industry made money off of artists. We worked hard for decades to keep corporate cronyism out of our industry. That time has sadly ended. Now corporate shareholders are capitalizing on artists. This is why some of us will happily pay Dan Kubin $1k for his machines instead of AMAZON for $200. F%*+ Amazon

Only ones worth while are made by hand or by multiple machine builders

Yup. That was standard practice in our industry before the internet happened. We worked hard to keep it in the family, and keep corporate shareholders out That’s one of the reasons serving an apprenticeship is important. A self-taught bedroom artist may be dope af…but still know very little about the industry in which they work. Soulless artists out for the clout and instant gratification so they can get that bag, regardless of who else gets rich in the process. Edit:A man with no principles is no man at all. (Some person smarter than me said that, Im sure.”

Angel Alvarez I agree completely.

hes a one man band.

Small World! just uploaded a brand new video with Dan here on the channel.

BRIK sell that plastic thing and get a real machine from dan you won’t regret it.

@@waynefredrickson951 I just might do that. I may keep the sol Terra because I have enjoyed using it as a Black-work go to. Which model besides the V3R do you recommend?

The v7 is the best one yet and I like the sol terra it’s a great machine for color

he is the best

Paris Manson I’ve had the impossible a ton of times. We have Monty’s burger in my hometown it’s basically a vegan in n out and it exclusively sells the impossible it’s rad. I haven’t tried the burger king one because I know it’s not gonna be great and they cross contamination issues and I have to order it without mayo and cheese. I’m glad they have it and I’m glad it’s gaining popularity but I’m not in any rush to try there rendition of it.

Wayne Fredrickson it’s honestly not bad at all brother minus the night I bit into a thick chunky piece of mayo not fun at all

Where the fuck did that come from!

So unique. Never seen anything like it before.

Marty Turner His song He made it It’s not recorded anywhere but here. Catch the interview we did at the end we talk about the song and he plays it.

@@waynefredrickson951 awesome, I haven't got to the end yet
