Branded! What’s the Difference Between Builders

[14:00] “All the builders always had their hands on the machines. They were tuned and signed by the associated builder for sure.”

— BJ “Soba”

One of the standout things you can say about coil tattoo machines is that they are unique. Each individual builder has a specific style and quality to their machines. No one machine is the same, even if it’s the same model.

And though they are different, that’s not to say anything about consistency in their work. Each custom builder has exceptional standards they adhere to. Those are the main reasons why custom builds are so coveted in the tattoo world. Uniqueness and quality.

In this wayI think that’s what makes Workhorse Irons unique. From the very beginning they’ve tried to exemplify those qualities with their roster of machine builders over the years.
