This video entails the evolution of tattoo machines I have made since 1976 till now. I do no recommend using/making any of the older machines I show as you can buy professional ones really cheap online. In the time I began tattooing there were no "online" or "local" shops that sold tattoo supplies so this is some of the ways i improvised.
