What is the best tattoo machine liner?

Answer 1

I learned to tattoo from Jeremy Garrett a.k.a. NYARTMAN and he's one of the best tattoo artist in New York City. He pretty much uses only Micky Sharpz irons. These machines are highly sought out by professional tattoo artists all over the world. Check out his work at http:/www.nyartman.com. He's also has a great outliner made by Coney Island Freddie. It's ugly as hell and he had to do a lot of work on it to get it tuned properly but after that it's a beast. Another place to get very good machines are www.supplytattoo.com.Their machines are basically American knock offs of Micky Sharpz's machines and are just as solid. Another solid machine is the Time Machine Fusion.

National machines aren't bad but in my opinion they are quite in the same category as the other ones I mentioned above. They use to be great but compared to so many new designers who are producing excellent machines like Aaron Cain, they just don't compete anymore. Stay away form any of that crap from China being sold on ebay. Some of them look great. I bought one because I figured the Chinese have been tattooing longer that U.S. has been a country so how bad can they be? Very bad and totally useless, the coils over heated to the point that it melted the shrink wrap cover on the first day of use. Also Huck Spaulding machines and kits aren't worth your time, don't waste your money.
