Well, it’s happening. The time has come to compare some of the most expensive tattoo machines to the least expensive out there. How do they compare?
The reality is - the manufacture of the machines isn’t very different. Beyond where the sourced parts are obtained, each tattoo machine works exactly the same but may have a different lifetime due to quality. This comparison should go to illustrate something about the equipment we use in the industry - artists place additional value on the things they rely on, utilizing value as a buffer between them, their ego, and outside critique. Machine manufacturers have utilized this tactic to inflate prices while allowing a swap meet style pawning of machines to hold the brunt of poor tattoos being made.
Rather than blaming yourself, you can blame the machine when things go wrong (or needles, or pigments…)
Why be hard on yourself and spend $1000? You can swap machines for less than a hundred and blame something more disposable so you aren’t breaking the bank!
Pros- The bishop has a nice cam.
Cons- the entire machine setups are too alike to not knock them both for being cheaply made. Rotary machines are often not built, they are assembled, so having a high introductory price (and a repair cost of ~$300) the Bishop falls hard into the “CON” pile.
We give the bishop and expensive 4 out of 10. It's hard to get over the markup on a machine that really doesn’t offer much above a cheap disposable machine.
The Bomb gets a 4.5 out of 10 because it’s garbage, but it’s cheap garbage.
