This guy would have fame and recognition just based on his tattoo art but the guy is ambitious. Many books, flash, paintings, comix, videos, and hand built tattoo machines. All built totally by him. The guy is a legend and we can’t wait to see what other creative art he comes up with http://www.spiderwebbtattoo.com/

Tattoos Kits

My daughter’s friend was asking me what equipment to get when first starting to tattoo. The first advice I gave him – don’t waste your money on the “kits” that a lot of suppliers sell. Price wise – they average about $200 more or less and you usually get the cheapest, poorest quality machines and a lot of fluff that you don’t absolutely need. Like Flash. You can get a decent starting machine for $50.00, some disposable tubes, and basic quality color inks for starters. If you decide to stick with it, then invest in better machines down the road.
In my opinion, the one item worth investing some money in is a good power source. One that will allow you to control the speed. If you buy your supplies individually, you may spend the same amount of money but you will be buying better grade of supplies.

Lyle Tuttle Tattoo museum – very interesting material you don’t see on every other tattoo site http://lyletuttle.com/captdonleslie/captdontattooflash.html One of the sections displays the license plates Lyle Tuttle has collected over the years – interesting and worth checking out. He also covers Tattoo History, Tattoo machines, etc. Interesting for both artists and collectors.

Tattoo Trivia

The first electric tattoo machine was first invented by Thomas Edison in 1876, who drew out blueprints for an electric engraver that became the machine that revolutionized tattooing. Patents for tattoo machines were filed less than ten years later by different individuals, each adding their own improvements. Samuel O’Reilly is credited with the first created “electric pen”, the device built from the Edison blueprints.
