don't get fooled

all you knuckleheads out there who are surfin the net for your first machine, or all you scratchers out there who are just discovering the diff between a liner and a shader and are looking for one or the other, watch out for all of the assholes out there who have been building tattoo machines in there basements out of off the rack parts for three fucking months and now consider themselves "machine builders" sure, they may have websites and cool logos, but they have only built 6 machines in their lives, slapping brand name parts on them, and blackening the frames. you can spot there idiots most easily because they band together singing each others praises while running down established, respected and legitimate machine builders as being "too expensive". if you pay 200 bucks to buy a copycat machine from some dillhole who is building them in his garage based on some 20 year old piece of shit his weird uncle ernie left laying around the house after boning his mom in the ass with whatever he could find in the fridge, then you have been ripped off. if you don't know if someone is an actual knowledgeable competent builder/fabricator of tattoo machines, just e-mail dez and he'll set you straight. stop the madness.

this thread is NOT about hotspark! he's a stand up builder.
