      What is the scam? What is your question for us? Amazon has nothing to do with this website. If you purchased a new book, then you have a serial number on a sticker on the book. We try our best to answer each question within 24 hours. I see you registered your book from a Nebraska IP, approx 8 hours ago. Then you sent your first help request 5…[Read more]

    Best not to start w/ a kit – best to start with an apprenticeship – when artists in a studio think he is ready they will help him get real tools. The best gift you can give him is walking door to door to every tattoo studio – and get him an interview!

    Just thought I’d share it for anyone who might’ve been considering going rotary from coils, as at that price point, even if someone doesn’t like it, it’s no big abuse to the piggy bank, and if they do like it, then they get a good bargain to work with :)

    It’s more of a future thing anyway. I keep steering folks towards the site, so hopefully, some new folks will show.
