Nope. I only used My SW Knf, SW Beveler ,and a M885 Backgrounder, besides the frame stamps.

I just finished it.

My tattoo artist was tired of useing so many rolls of paper towels for his leg and ruining pants with ink and other peoples blood, so we figured this was the logical thing to make:)

NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR MORE, FROM OTHER TATTOO ARTISTS!

What a brilliant idea. And it looks amazing. I bet you're getting some serious ink out of this deal. ;)

Is that swivel knife beveler the same one Springfield has? I was curious about it, and was planning on ordering one. It looks like it works really well, at least in your stuff. Great job again.

From what I am told yes.

Mine is from the 1960's 70's???

It was my dads, so I got it with all his stuff and my Great Granddads leather tools. I use it as my #2 Tool next to my Knife.

But I am told Springfield has the tip which you can put onto a Swivel knife. The screw on mine is so rusted I could never change it without drilling out the old screw and re-tapping it for a new one.

For being 30 or 40 years old, it seems to be holding up pretty well. Your work is great, so I'm gonna follow your lead and order one as soon as I can.

Nice!! I'd be all over that if I still slung ink. I'll definitely be bringing it up with my buddy though next time I see him.

Ya I think I see a lot of tattoo guys wanting one in the near future. My deal with artists is if they don't want to pay me the retail value, then they owe me just as long as I put into it in INK!

From start to total finish that is 12 hrs, includes design and art,and figuring out how to do the straps for a left handed guy without interfering with the artwork.

Plus gas and time spent tracking down quality Brass parts. So maybe 14 hrs....So in the end after I explain that to them, they probably just want to hand me the 300 I want for the leather:) Instead of tattooing me 2-3 sittings for a few hours at a time.

There are 3 guys I make stuff for and we trade ink for leather all the time. I have so many tatts, it has been hard for me as an artist to figure out what I want , so I just let them pick what they have been wanting to tattoo since they rarely have the opportunity to just have free rein. As long as it goes with all my other old/new school classic tatts, I prefer the classic modern spins...

But a lot of my stuff is just black and red, with some hints of blue or green, that is what I like. Sailor Jerry type stuff, but a little updated as far as color choice.
