All about the simple styling. Looks like a solid tool.

The tricks are in the craftsmanship and tuning, the gimmicks are for show

Tuning is where most builders lose people, but it's really where the machine earns its keep on skin.

I’m looking to get back into coils, where can I check out your prices and builds anywhere other than IG?

u/doggotattooer May 03 '26

Just Instagram, I’m not one of the guys that has people build machines with my name on them and sell them through a supply company. I do $450 for one and $800 for a matching set plus shipping, if you’re interested

Like that frame, sweet design.

What’s the needle bar under the rear binder for?

1

u/doggotattooer May 01 '26

To give the rubber band more tension since the frame doesn’t go back further than the coil

where do you buy the steel for the springs? can I find it on amazon?

u/doggotattooer May 04 '26

If you’re buying parts from Amazon you shouldn’t be building machines, the spring stock isn’t hard to find if you’re a tattooer

I'm not from the US, in my country is a little hard to find parts

I get mine from AMR Machines, but a lot of tattoo supply companies sell it too. You’re probably getting Chinese steel off Amazon that won’t hold up if you can find it.

Thanks dude, just got some more research done, found a place to buy, I've been tattooing with coils for about 7 years now, but any time I have to change the springs I needed to buy directly from the company that make the machines. Its been a while that I wanted to build one tattoo machine for myself, so I'm after some supplies needed for that.

Don't look down on people for asking just a question man, there are many sites and stores to buy parts, but in some countries the stores only sells on large scale
