Mini Widow Liner

I'm proud to showcase a recent custom tattoo machine I crafted entirely by hand. This exceptionally responsive machine was fabricated using precise TIG welding methods, giving it a sleek black oxide finish that's both stylish and functional. It features specialty screws made from electromagnetic iron, matching the material used in the coil core and armature. I've set it up as a versatile 5-11 liner with a medium throw and speed, optimized for achieving clean Definition and saturation across tattoo styles. I've fully broken-in this machine through many successful sessions, and it's ready to become another artist's ideal tool. This build exemplifies my commitment to fully handcrafting specialized tattoo machines tailored to each client's needs and preferences. Every detail is customized - from the welding technique to the component materials and performance tuning. Please inquire for details if you're seeking a one-of-a-kind tattoo machine made just for you.
