I've not updated this blog for a while. In fact, I've had a break from all things tattoo lately, as my dear wife and I have just had a baby. Freya Louise was born on 28th October. I've been using my time to prepare the house for our new arrival, and also to spend some quality time with my wife & daughter. Having done so, I am now back in business. And what better way to kickstart my ink slinging habit than to invest in a new inking iron?
For a number of months, I have been looking into getting a newfangled 'rotary' type machine. As well as being quite shiny, rotary machines are lighter and a good deal quieter than Thomas Edison's traditional 'electromagnetic coil' type machines, and almost maintainance free. What's not to like...?
However, when I clapped eyes on this little beauty, I decided to stay true to my roots. So, here it is... my new oil-blackened iron dial. Marvellous!
