Handmade tattoo machine

[bcsmithrocks]

How it all began with my homie @21adwebfx in our basements I was 14 and I think he was around 16. I can say a lot about the last 30 years...but these haggard homemade machines changed my life. I plan someday to put these in a shadow box that says something like “from humble beginnings” or something like that. :) if it wasn’t for my buddy and my complete and utter adoration of @motleycrue I don’t think I would have ever chosen this career path. I’m blessed to have discovered tattooing at such a great time in its history. I would never recommend starting out the way that I did. I learned so many bad habits that I had to work even harder to break, but I was surrounded by amazing people, many of which let me hone my skills by giving them not so great tattoos back then. I love you all, especially those who have supported me over the years! My friends and clients are beyond amazing! Thanks so much, and let’s make 2021 a year to remember!
