Shannons machines

I finally finished building the tattoo machines that were supposed to be a Christmas Gift for my friend Shannon. I didnt have a lot of money, so one of the frames is from CAM and the other is a Dermagraphic from the 90's.

But besides the frames and screws, everything is hand made. I got the chrome off and blackened the CAM and chopped the Dermagraphic. This was also the first time I lathed copper, and the last time. I broke like 3 cut off bits. In spite of their humble roots both machines run really well, perfect for someone just starting in the business.
