FIGHT, WIN, LIVE (godoys)
We split the world in to thirds
Unite the worst with our words
Cutting wrists severing ties
Red rivers rising to lunar highs
Born a slave in bankrupt times
A government surety for your crimes
Shifts in plates cause continental slides
Just like cracks society divides
FIGHT WIN LIVE
LIVE WIN FIGHT DIE
Dying to survive
Fuckin' at night to keep your organ alive
When she’s putting out she ain’t doing it right
Can’t rewind when she has another in mind
FIGHT WIN LIVE
LIVE WIN FIGHT DIE
FIGHT WIN LIVE
LIVE WIN FIGHT DIE
Rolling a game where the pins don’t fall
Hitting it hard is like hitting a wall
Courts and cops and priests are on the call
They’ll be fucking your kids in a bathroom stall.
FIGHT WIN LIVE
LIVE WIN FIGHT DIE
FIGHT WIN LIVE
LIVE WIN FIGHT DIIIIIIIEEEEEE.

<span style="color: white;">Jeff Grosso turned pro in the mid 80's, around the same time we did, he was in our generation of pro skaters. He was gnarly. A total power skater. I (Art) remember doing a demo in Milwaukee at the Turf skatepark and he was there, with a few other Santa Cruz riders. He was doing tail taps at the top of the vertical extensions on the round ends of the capsule half pipe..</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: white;"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: white;">It had a rounded lip and lots of vertical!</span><span style="color: white;">. that was radical. We would always see him at contests and demos, occasional sessions at different skateparks and ramps... and of course at Exploding Fuck Dolls gigs! The last time we saw him was at the Vans ramp in Costa Mesa 2 years ago. Below is an article from TMZ about his death. </span></div>

On November 26, Tony Magnusson held the H-Street soaree in Encinitas to commemorate the release of the Magnificent 7 series of skateboards and the release of a few new shoe models from Osiris. For those who rode for H-Street and were involved in it's evolution, it was more than that. <br />
<br />
H-Street was, in it's time, a ground breaking company who's rise and industry take over seemed to happen overnight. The late 80's climate, in the industry was perfect for a new company like this, who showed what could be done with what you had in front of you. Before it's rise, the magazines showed images of pros that were inaccessible and unapproachable due to egos or geographic location, pros who were doing tricks on the current terrain (half pipes) in California that most of the kids in the world could not and would never be able to do or travel to. Not every city in the world, in those days, had a skatepark with a good vertical half pipe.. H-Street made skateboarding accessible. A kid could open a magazine and see a street skater in an H-Street ad, or pop in an H-Street video and realize that there was no need for a half pipe and that there was no need to admire pros who would not give you the time of day. The pros and riders on the team were the best, the most original and down to earth. They skated the streets because that's what they did. They were cool and approachable and accessible. </div>

From our perspective, being directly involved in skateboarding as recognized professionals, we could see that for us to fit as pieces into this puzzle was going to be virtually impossible. This meant conforming to the hollow painted representation of what skateboarding was at the time, being put out there by the 3 main industry controllers.They controlled the magazines, the contests, the fashion… some innovation but mostly the fashion based mid to late 80's style that contaminated what WE and many others recognized as a naturally rebellious and aggressive way of life. <br />
<br />
At the time Steve was riding for Circle-A and I was on H-Street, yet we BOTH contributed to the graphics which helped shape the direction the company would go, artistically. We remember ideas just coming to us, we'd draw, submit and the'd use.the images. or not.. other pros - Danny Way, Elguera, Ron Allen and Schultes asked for graphics, Tony did too… <br />
<br />
We had just come off a very unsatisfactory relationship with a company who's views were not consistent with ours and there wasn't any choice but to leave. I (Art) heard from Jason Jessee, that Tony Magnusson was starting a new board company, so i got out to California to see if there was any opportunity there. A meeting was set up and as usual, not expecting any positive feedback, I went to meet Tony and Mike Ternasky. They told me the plan, told me who was on the team, what boards will be coming out and when… We skated Andy's ramp, this was sort of part 2 in the interview process… I did the best I could. I got the job! I couldn't imagine having to peddle a resume which would have been rejected by either the big 3 or any of the smaller companies who were trying to fit into the stereotypical image format of the time. So many virtual "no name name professionals" with no ability were being mass marketed to the kids by huge companies.. Huge undeserved royalty checks being paid out and profits made… if only you were able to suck the right dicks. </div>

H'-Street accepted us.. Gave us all purpose and livelihood. So many years have passed so quickly that until that night, it was hard to find time to stop and realize what H-Street was and what it meant to all of us. <br />
<br />
That night, in attendance were the magnificent 7, should have been the called magnificent 8; Tony Magnusson, Ron Allen, Matt Hensley, John Schultes, Elguera, Danny Way and me and Steve.<br />
We also saw Steve Ortega, Michael Crum, Cookie head, Alphonso Rawls… hung out with Daniel Cuervo and lots of other old associates.</div>

Dear Art & Steve, I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users. Details of the Recommendation: "It all started with "Tattoo Machines and Their Secrets", a book written by the Godoy twins. I picked up a copy from Art personally and pretty much read it cover to cover later that day. It started to show another side of things I had not even considered before upon getting into tattooing. After that I had been fortunate enough to have a one on one machine building seminar and Q and A session with Art. It was the best thing I could have done for myself being a new tattooer. That session answered questions to things I didn't even know I didn't know. At that time I picked up a Godoy Machines power regulator which has been a dream to work with. Recently I've tuned machines for a guy with 18 years experience and a girl with 10 that I've worked with. Both said hands down they've never had a machine run so good. To say that the Godoys are extremely knowledgeable is an understatement. The knowledge, experience, and passion for what they do is directly reflected in the the work they do, products they design, and in the books that they've written. These guys know their stuff, make top notch equipment, do top notch work, and more importantly are top notch people."

<b><span style="font-size: large;">El primer libro fue escrito en Ingles en 2004, salió en 2005. Fue traducido a Espanol y salió un ano después. El libro fue traducido a francés, italiano, alemán, y portugués… Cuando sacamos el libro en formato PDF para que la gente que habla espantos podrían pagar para descargarla y no pagar flete, se rompió los métodos de seguridad y todo se fue al internet… taringa, mercado libre, y miles de sitios torrent. Todo fue escrito con la intención de educar a los tatuadores para prevenir las problemas que acompañan la ignorancia. La ignorancia entera - de la calibración correcta de la maquina de tatuar hecha con un estándar científico comprobado. Te digo lamentablemente que esta entrevista es 10 anos muy tarde. Con la educación, no hay ego. Con la educación podemos reclamar NUESTRA industria, prevenir k gente entra con intenciones de contaminarla, y que podemos sacar los que valen mierda. Ustedes tienen que entender que si alguien tiene titulo de "suplidor", no es decir que conocen los productos que están vendiendo, tampoco los fabricantes. Habian muchos que estaban contra esta educación porque pensaron en "ahora" y no en el futuro de la industria, pensaron que es mejor guardar secretos… ellos ni conocían los "secretos"! Compartir información que actualmente no es superstición ni mito es algo que beneficiara a TODOS. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Nosotros teníamos la salud de la industria en mente. Teniamos la reputación de la entera industria en mente. El problema de esta ignorancia es lo siguiente - los artistas ignorantes compran de suplidores ignorantes que compran de fabricantes ignorantes. Ellos dejan que los impostores siguen vendiendo sus cagadas y se satura la industria con equipo inferior. Tanta ignorancia deja que NADIE sabe cuales son las caracteristicas necesarias, con respeto a funcionamiento de una maquina electromagnética. Entonces… ya. Todo se fue a la verga. Estamos en 2015. Muchos trabajan en maneras no higiénicas - no ponen bolsas en sus maquinas. Revistas muestran fotos de tatuadores trabajando sin barreras en sus fuentes, maquinas, clips… eso dana nuestra reputación, pone a los clientes a riesgos… da un nombre malo a todos nosotros que tenemos respeto al tattoo y al cliente. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">En general, esta industria no es profesional. Hay millones de personas, no solo tatuadores que les faltan respeto a todo que fundió el mundo del tatuaje. No hay éticas… se fueron por el cagadero. Este libro tenia mucha demanda. Cuesta dinero para imprimir, cuesta tiempo para escribir y costo muchos anos en aprender todas las cosas que compartimos con todo el mundo. Este libro fue descargado ILEGAMENTE acerca de 900,000 veces ese numero lo calculamos en 2008. Nadie quería pagar por descargas. Este libro fue imprimido ilegalmente también en varios países. Espania especialmente. SIN PERMISO DE NOSOTROS, los autores. Tenemos derechos en el mundo de copyright pero nadie respetaba eso. Si se define éxito por medios de ser conocidos por escribir este libro, bien había éxito. Pero en cuestión de dolares… fallo. En cuestión de educación y abrir los ojos de la industria de la invasión de los chinos, la invasión de la ignorancia, la invasión de las programas de tele y revistas que muestran actividades no higiénicas como fueran un estándar… fallo. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">For our readers who haven't heard of the Godoy Twins, could you each give us a brief description of who you are?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- Well, there's a lot to tell… we are identical twins, bilingual - English and Spanish, we were born in Mexico City and lived in Venezuela, Puerto Rico as kids - because our dad was from Argentina and always was handling business in Latin America. Though, we have lived mostly on the east coast USA since we turned 6 years old, we have had the travel bug since we were kids and it has stayed with us to this day. We have been tattooing since 1985, were pro skateboarders, from the Tony Hawk generation. We were rated 15th or 16th out of 75 professionals on the pro circuit. We are also punk rock musicians. We play with Deniz Tek, founder of Radio Birdman, we have been playing with him for over 19 years!! We also founded the Exploding Fuck Dolls with Duane Peters, we have toured as members of the Vibrators, Gary Lammin, The Visitors reunion… We tattooed EXCLUSIVELY Julia Gnuse, the Guiness Book of World Records' most tattooed woman. We have been in tons of magazines and TV- Guiness Prime Time, You Asked For it, Pro Sieben (Germany), Fuera de Serie (spanish speaking countries), Larry King Live… and More. We hold 4 international patents on coil and tube vice technology and one for a totally revolutionary health compliant power supply. We wrote a book called Tattoo Machines & their Secrets which was translated into 6 languages and copyrighted - this industry text book was then made into an ebook so tattoo artists from ANYWHERE could pay and download it. Security was cracked and the book was illegally downloaded over 990,000 times from torrent sites - and that was just the English version! We started our machine company with the goal to improve and perfect the electromagnetic tattoo machine. It evolved into the trajectory of raising standards in the industry. We believe that education is imperative in this business… so we offer everything any artist of any level needs to be the best AND to protect the industry from frauds, myths, superstitions and bootleggers. We teach seminars globally on tattoo machines. Art owns Funhouse Tattooing in Vancouver Canada and Steve work for Kari Barba at Outer Limits Tattoo in Orange California. We are accredited with being the "godfathers" of marrying the skateboarding and tattooing lifestyles as documented in the Bart Saric film "Skinned Alive". </span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What introduced you into the tattoo world - age, time, influences? Was it something where you both decided to do it at the same time or one went into it first?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- We moved to the USA at 6 years old. That move was integral in how we turned out and how we perceived the world. We moved to Lancaster Pennsylvania. That town was very conservative and clannish. We were victimized by prejudice against 'foreigners'… as spanish speakers we did not fit in even though we spoke perfect English as well! So, as you can see, we were perfectly set up to be into individual lifestyles and forms of expression - what could say "fuck you" better to the world than not being part of it? skateboarding, punk rock and tattooing! As for the tattooing, we were exposed to the Cockney Rejects record "the Power and the Glory" which depicted them on the back cover showing their tattoos. We were around 15… maybe it was 1982. We are started skateboarding in 1976, and got into the original British punk from 1977 - after being into KISS…hahahaha, and that was exactly the time period we started to come into our own… these lifestyles really spoke to us!! skateboarding taught us 'individuality', Punk taught us 'rebellion' and tattooing taught us 'creativity, self expression and freedom'. Nothing else could compare. Team sports? no way… We have always had an attitude to be individuals and non conformists from an early age. We started together… did everything together.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Was it hard to get tattooed when you were younger?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- It was hard to get tattooed. It was 18 and over. We had done tons of home made tattoos on ourselves in 84… so since we were already 'tattooed' we could get em done. There weren't that many shops in Dallas Texas, where we had moved to… let's go back a bit.. we were in Pennsylvania til we got kicked out of school in 82 when we moved to Mexico City with our dad. Skating all over the place.. totally on our own. We moved to Dallas where we got sponsored for skateboarding in 1983. We carried our attitude with us and our musical soundtrack… we ended up back in Pennsylvania for the last 6 months of high school…went back to Dallas in 84 / 85 where we started to get professional tattoos from local artists ( Robert Hackney, Ken Cameron and a guy named 'Patrick") and started tattooing ourselves with professional equipment. … and as pro skaters, we would take our per diem money and get tattooed wherever we travelled for contests and demos.. and surprisingly, age restrictions were observed by these old school shops. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you think that the difference of availability has changed what it means to get tattooed?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- Availability? We think that society generally "moves" when things are acceptable. It's not surprising that it has boomed!! It is totally 'SAFE' to get tattooed now. When we started getting tattooed, it was not, we were the most heavily tattooed skateboarders from our generation and our sales in the market showed it. Market research showed that the mothers of 14 year old kids were buying the boards so the companies didn't see value in marketing tattooed punk rock twins. You see, we didn't care about what was acceptable and we would have done it regardless. Now, tattooing is readily available for anybody, any style is available to anybody… along with this has come a lack of ethics in the industry - health compliance, suppliers selling to 'just anyone', … what does it mean to get tattooed now? I don't think things have changed that much.. i think more options as far as artistic availability are greater and better, as far as being a rebellious statement, that is not so much of an issue - unless you are getting full facial tattoos or gang tattoos. There are still pockets in the USA where tattooing is still taboo… but not as off limits as it was when we were growing up.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Were you creative kids - did you draw and create when you were young?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- We have always been creative. We have our mom to thank for that. Whenever we'd bitch about being bored, she'd put a pencil in our hands and tell us - "draw!" We would do crafts, wood carving.. clay, sculpting.. paper mache!! We built ramps to skate… we painted our ramps and skateboard decks.. so, yes we have always been creative.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Was it inevitable but with skating and music as your passions from an early age that tattoos would some way work themselves into the mix?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- It was inevitable with the music we were into. You could see the evolution from rebelling with spiky hair and spiked wristbands and listening to the Sex Pistols, to being more extreme - shaved heads and tattoos… getting tattoos was next and then DOING tattoos. For us, it seemed to be meant to be. We never wavered. We have been listening to the same music for decades, been skateboarding for the same and tattooing also… we have serious credentials as a result of these passions. The mix of these things were easily absorbed because of the fact that we were misfits in this world.. when in reality, the conformist pigs were the misfits in OUR world.. most kids were scared to rebel or be different or thin for themselves. It was not an option… our roots, our filters and our determination helped us to accept and embrace these lifestyles and persevere and succeed in each one. We redefined these lifestyles to suit OUR needs, we made our own rules - as we didn't conform to those established punk rock and skate standards either… </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How did you become tattooists - did you follow a traditional apprentice? together/apart etc?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- We decided that tattooing was something we wanted to learn and excel in. We tried for apprenticeships but due to our extensive travel schedules as professionals skateboarders, we couldn't commit to a full time apprenticeship. We tattooed each other, learning all we could by watching the artists that tattooed us. We watched technique, we observed sterile practices, we did the best we could ON EACH OTHER before we practiced on friends. We are totally self taught. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Which artists inspire your work?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- None now, currently each other, in the past, we have always liked the work of Greg Irons. He was doing tattoos on tattoos! Fine lines! that was what we liked - precision, realism. We liked the original black and grey guys too like Jack Rudy, Mark Mahoney… most of the others seemed rudimentary to us. I'm talking about 'then'. Now, there are a lot of impressive artists. We have taken more of an interest in our machine innovations over artistic inspiration in tattooing. After 28 years tattooing, our interests are a bit different than they were in the early days. Many old inspirations have become very distant upon re inspection. The obsolescence of certain old school mentalities and styles, the realization that we had been disillusioned by their mystiques so now it's about finding value in our own endeavours - inventions, innovations and so on.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What drove you to develop your own machines?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- The drive to develop our machines was a result of the dissatisfaction we had with machines we would buy from reputable companies, not to mention boredom. The real reason we found for the dissatisfaction was our own ignorance at the time. We used to listen to other artists who were more experienced yet we couldn't understand why their work was so substandard. We have played with our machines for a very long time. The development of our machines was sort of accidental. Trying ideas and then perfecting them. Simply at first and then more and more complex! Building a better mouse trap. We started to understand magnetic field and permeability, we got a real grasp for spring tension in combination with stroke… type of wire and specific gauges and turns on a variety of coil geometry and alloys - enough to saturate the coil at lower voltages. It was our need for knowledge too, to figure out the whys and hows of the machine's function and to logically and scientifically resolve how we can apply that toward techniques like super fine lines, smooth giant patches of even greys with the machine staying cool, without loss of power, without skips. Just smooth consistency.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you feel there is a lack of understanding and knowledge from some sections of the tattoo community about the importance of good machines and treating them well?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- Lack of understanding in SOME sections? Try all sections! The lack of knowledge is blatantly obvious in this industry from the top to the bottom. Two plus two doesn't equal four in this business. There is so much superstition and myth, people barking up the wrong trees. Standard business models do not work in tattooing, Customers are not always right! Complaints about the Chinese coming in and selling their cheap products. suppliers who are not accountable for the products they sell, artists thinking the supplier knows about what he sells… when the real problem is ignorant artist population. Artists like to complain and act like they know… a good machine? define that… is it brand name? NO, there are specific manufacturers who have a 'name' who tattoo like 10 year old kids.. obviously they do not understand artistic technique, they have no clue on how to make a machine do what is needed, much less set up a machine to be able to handle this! A good machine?? the bottom line is that any electromagnetic tattoo machine CAN BE MADE INTO A GOOD MACHINE. Understand function, understand components, specifications… parallelism. There are basic characteristics a machine needs to be 100%. The goals is to understand this and it's relation to technique and modify it to YOUR needs and NOT to have to adapt to whatever you buy out of the box. Do not accept that the machine you buy are already set up. Who built it? who sells it? do they really know what YOU need, and what the machine needs to do to be able to facilitate your artistic technical requirements?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Artists can control the industry</b>, we can decide who stays and who goes and who will be let in. There are a lot of people coming into O<b>UR industry</b> who's credentials are questionable. We say OUR industry because there are people getting involved just to make money, who do not tattoo, who have not paid their dues in this business. Just because a supplier can buy bulk Chinese products and re sell them DOES NOT mean that he knows anything about what he sells.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The ignorance of the magazines trying to create and define the 'tattoo culture' as a bunch of freaks dressed as 1950's ghouls with day of the dead paint on their faces taking pictures in a graveyard, is so off the mark… these 'tattoo lifestyle' magazines, and in fact almost all the tattoo industry magazines show pictures of artists tattooing without bags on their machines and 99% of artists look at that photo and think that this is a normal and acceptable STANDARD just because they see it in the magazines! … IT IS NOT! It is NOT health compliant. This art depends on science and physics - technical and mechanical systems - and the observance of health conscious procedures because the clients ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS in our equation. They come into shops innocently to get tattooed and are sometimes greeted with egos and attitudes, sold on images that are substandard, are dissuaded from their original ideas because the artist is not competent to do the job THE WAY THE CLIENT WANTS IT, occasionally he tattoos them with untuned machines and unrefined amateurism.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a customer service job, it is a minor surgery and as such there is no room for 'tattoo kits' or any kind of 'entry level' apparatus. Sadly, it's there, it's everywhere and magazines advertise full page ads from suppliers who sell these types of 'kits', who sell these amateurs their new identities… ads in these mags for clothing that says 'bitch' or 'tattooed white trash', is this what we as 'professional artists' want to be associated with? The reality is that suppliers do not have to be accountable for what they sell. They do not take responsibility to understand the products they carry, it's not their job. Pigment recalls, needles which may have several different types of tapers in one grouping. They accept returned machines sometimes covered in biohazard from clients who do not bag their machines, and re sell them. NOT ALL DO THIS, THERE ARE SOME HOWEVER WHO DO… Yet the artist puts his complete faith in these suppliers. Come on, really? it's an epidemic and the fucked thing is that there are huge numbers of artists who do not care because they are so busy grooming their images and maintaining their egos that they do not even know that there is a problem, those who do realize there is a problem don't know what it is or how to attack it! We are clients of suppliers as well, we buy pigments, we buy loose needles and make our own groupings, we are concerned about quality and safety. We control the tightness of our needle groupings instead of conforming to a "Chinese standard" as the are the ones selling pre made inconsistent groupings...We try not to buy from anyone who is not part of the solution. We have done tons of interviews stating these facts. Because of tattooing's growth in popularity, it's huge earning potential and the immediate 'rock star' status an artist gets, tons of new beginners are entering our work force. They are being sold products without a second thought by suppliers who do not see the harm in it. There is a fine line between lack of understanding and blatantly ignoring what is really going on. No magazines had the balls to print any of our interviews because they didn't want our content to offend their full page advertisers, their back cover advertisers or anyone who supported these types of ethics knowingly or un knowingly, NOR did THEY THEMSELVES want to be called out on the substandard ethics they help to perpetuate.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">-- yeah, they are very similar. There are slight differences, but they're very similar. Our approach to tattooing is not as planned out as it is for some, we draw on the skin with a pen… lots of freehand work. Our clientele knows that that's how we roll. We also do lots of realism, cover ups and real small detailed work that most people would not touch.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-- haha, it's true, we have also taken on more than we can sometimes. The passions that we've had as misfit kids, which had formed our personalities and characters continue to drive us. These things are ingrained in us at such a deep level that we can't sell out. They give us drive and direction. We still love to skate and surf. We love to tattoo and be creative in music. We love to travel and see new places. We love to teach machine seminars that actually teach and gain great satisfaction when we see people 'get it!'. We love to tour and play music! All these things have brought us so much satisfaction and success. We do not define success as monetary gain, we define it as happiness and fulfilment. We have a world full of friends and artists on the same page who want to make positive changes in the industry, seeing people like Brett Fischer and his family, from 2Evolve tattoo supply in Cape Town, do what they do for tattooing further motivates us!! We get inspiration from so many things. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Il y a beaucoup à dire... Nous sommes des jumeaux identiques, bilingues anglais-espagnol, nous sommes nés a Mexico et avons vécu au Venezuela et à Puerto Rico gamins, parce que
notre père était de l'Argentine et faisait toujours des affaires avec l'Amérique Latine. Bien que nous avons surtout vécus sur la cote Est des US depuis qu'on a eu 6 ans, on avait le virus du
voyage depuis gamins et c'est toujours rester avec nous jusqu'à ce jour. On tatoue depuis 1985, on était skateurs professionnels de la génération de Tony Hawk. On était classés 15eme ou
16eme sur 75 sur le circuit professionnel. Et on était aussi musiciens punk rock. On joue avec Deniz Tek, le fondateur de Radio Birdman, depuis plus de 19 ans !!</span></div>

<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Qu'est-ce qui vous a introduit au monde du tatouage ? A quel âge, quand, quelles influences ? Est-ce que c'était quelque chose que vous avez tous les deux décider de faire ou bien l'un de
vous a commencé d'abord ?</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On est venu s'installer au USA quand on avait 6 ans. Ca fait partie intégrale de ce qu'on est devenu et de comment on percevait le monde. On s'est installé a Lancaster, Pennsylvanie. Cette
ville était très conservatrice et fermée. Nous étions victimes de préjugés contre les "étrangers"... Comme on parlait espagnol, on n'était pas intégrés, bien qu'on parlait parfaitement l'anglais
aussi ! Alors, comme tu peux voir, on était destinés à avoir des styles de vie différents et formes d'expression individuelles - qu'est-ce qui dit "allez vous faire foutre" mieux au monde que de
ne pas en faire partie de leur monde ? le skateboard, le punk rock et le tatouage ! En ce qui concerne le tatouage, on a été exposés à l'album des Cockney Rejects "The Power and thé Glory"
sur lequel ils montrent leurs tatouages sur le dos de la pochette. On avait une quinzaine d'années... 1982 environ. On avait commence à faire du skateboard en 1976, et on a découvert le
punk rock original de l'Angleterre de 1977, après avoir été fan de Kiss... hahahaha, et c'était exactement le moment ou on commençait à succéder... ces styles de vies nous allaient
parfaitement!! Le skateboard nous a appris l"individualité", le punk nous a appris la "rébellion", et le tatouage nous a appris la "créativité" , l'expression de soi et la liberté" . Rien ne pouvait
comparer à ça. Les sports d'équipe? aucune chance... On a toujours eu l'attitude d'être individuels et non-conformistes depuis un très jeune âge. On a tout commencé ensemble... fait tout
ensemble.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Est-ce que c'était difficile de vous faire tatouer quand vous étiez plus jeunes ?
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">C'était dur de ce faire tatouer. Il fallait avoir 18 ans. On s'était fait plein de tatouages faits maisons en 84... alors comme on était déjà "tatoués", on pouvait s'en faire faire. Il n'y avait pas
tellement d'endroits a Dallas, Texas où on habitait alors... Mais, revenons un peu en arrière.. On était en Pennsylvanie jusqu'à ce qu'on se fasse virés de l'école en 82 quand on a déménagé
a Mexico avec notre père. Faisions de skateboard de partout... totalement seuls. On est allés à Dallas où on était sponsoriser pour le skateboard en 1983. On avait toujours notre attitude et
notre culture musicale... On est revenu en Pennsylvanie pour les derniers 6 mois de lycée... puis retour à Dallas en 84/85 où on a commencé à se faire faire des tatouages professionnels
par des artistes locaux ( Robert Hackney, Ken Cameron et un mec du nom de "Patrick") et on a commencé à nous tatouer nous mêmes avec du matériel professionnel. ... Et en tant que
skateurs pros, on prenait nos revenus et allions nous faire tatouer partout où allait pour des compétitions ou démonstrations.. et curieusement, les restrictions d'âge étaient respectées par ces
tatoueurs de la vielle école.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Est-ce que vous pensez que la différence d'accès maintenant par rapport a avant, a changé la signification d'être tatouer ?
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Accessible ? On pense que la société généralement "bouge" quand les choses sont acceptable. Ce n'est pas surprenant que ça a explose! C'est complètement "SUR" de se faire tatouer
maintenant. Quand on a commencé, ça ne l'était pas. On était les skateurs les plus tatoués de notre génération et nos ventes dans le marché le montrait. Une étude de marché a démontré
que c'était les mères de gamins de 14 ans qui achetaient les skateboards alors les compagnies ne voyaient aucun intérêt à faire leur marketing avec des jumeaux punk rock tatoués. Mais tu
vois, on se fichait de ce qui était acceptable et on l'aurait fait n'importe comment. Maintenant, se faire tatouer est facilement accessible pour tout le monde, n'importe quel style est disponible
pour quiconque... mais avec ça, est venu un manque d'ethnique dans cette industrie - conformité santé, fournisseurs vendant à n'importe qui, ... qu'est-ce que veut dire se faire tatouer
maintenant ? Je ne pense pas que les choses aient changé tant que ça.. je pense qu'il y a plus et de meilleures options d'un point de vue artistique, mais en ce qui concerne la rébellion, ça
n'est plus tellement le cas - à moins que tu te fasses tatouer tout le visage et que tu te fasses faire des tatouages de gangs. Il y a encore quelques endroits aux States où tatouer est encore
tabou... mais pas aussi hors limites que quand on a grandi.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a toujours était créatifs. On peut remercier notre mère pour ça. Quand on se plaignait de s'ennuyer, elle nous mettait un crayon dans les mains et nous disait - "dessinez!". On faisait de
l'artisanat, taillait le bois, argile, sculpture, papier mâché !! On construisait nos propres rampes de skateboard... on peignait nos rampes et nos plateformes de skateboards.. Alors, oui, on a
toujours été créatifs..

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Est-ce que c'était inévitable, avec le skateboard et la musique étant vos passions depuis un jeune âge, que le tatouage vienne se rajouter à ce mix ?
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Avec le style de musique qu'on aimait, c'était inévitable. Tu pouvais voir l'évolution de se rebeller avec des cheveux en épis et bracelets à pointes à écouter les Sex Pistols, à être plus
extreme - crânes rasés et tatouages... se faire tatouer d'abord, puis FAIRE des tatouages. Pour nous, ça semblait être couru d'avance. On a jamais hésité ou flanché. On écoute la même
musique depuis des décennies, on skate et on tatoue toujours aussi...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
On a de sérieuses références à cause de ces passions. le mix de ces choses a facilement été absorbé à cause du fait qu'on était marginaux dans ce monde.. mais en réalité, c'était les
cochons conformistes qui étaient les marginaux dans NOTRE monde.. La plupart des gamins ont peur de se rebeller ou d'être différents ou de se débrouiller tous seuls. Ce n'était pas une
option pour nous... nos racines, nos filtres et notre détermination nous ont aides à accepter et à apprécier ces styles de vies et de persévérer et à avoir du succès avec chacune d'elles. On a
redéfini ces styles de vies pour les adapter à NOS besoins, on a fait nos propres règles - car on ne se conformait pas aux standards établis du punk rock ou du skate non plus !</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a décidé que tatouer était quelque chose qu'on voulait faire et exceller dedans. On a essayé des formations mais à cause de nos voyages extensifs en tant que skateurs pros, on ne
pouvait s'engager à faire une formation plein-temps. On se tatouait l'un l'autre, on apprenait tout ce qu'on pouvait en observant les artistes qui nous tatouaient. On surveillait la technique, on
respectait des pratiques stériles, on faisait tout de notre mieux possible SUR L"UN ET L"AUTRE avant de s'entrainer sur des amis. Nous sommes totalement autodidactes.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plus aucun maintenant, l'un et l'autre actuellement. Dans le passé, nous avons toujours aimé le travail de Greg Irons. Il faisait des tatouages sur des tatouages ! Des lignes fines ! C'est ça
qu'on aimait - la précision, le réalisme. On admirait les originaux du noir et gris aussi tel que Jack Rudy, Mark Mahaney... La plupart des autres nous semblaient rudimentaires.. Je parle de
"avant". Maintenant, il y a beaucoup d'artistes impressionnants. Mais on s'intéresse plus à l'innovation de nos machines qu'à l'inspiration artistique en tatouage. Apres 28 ans à tatouer, nos
intérêts sont différents qu'ils l'étaient dans les premiers temps. Beaucoup de nos vieilles aspirations sont devenues distantes en les revoyant. L'obsolescence de certaines mentalités et
certains styles vieille école, la réalisation qu'on était désillusionnés par leurs mystiques font que maintenant c'est plus pour trouver de la valeur dans nos propres efforts - inventions,
innovations et tout ça.

machines. Leur développement s'est un peu fait par accident. On essayait des trucs et on les perfectionnait. De façons simples au début, puis de plus en plus complexes ! On commençait a
comprendre le champ magnétique et la perméabilité. On a vraiment saisi la tension des fils en combinaison avec "stroke ".. les type de fils, les calibres spécifiques et enroulements sur une
variété de bobines et alliages - suffisamment pour saturer les bobines a des tensions plus basses. C'était aussi pour notre besoin de connaissances d'essayer de comprendre le pourquoi et

faire à une machine ce qu'il faut. Une bonne machine?? L'essentiel à savoir est que n'importe quelle machine électromagnétique PEUT ETRE TRANSFORMEE EN UNE BONNE MACHINE.
Comprenez le fonctionnement, les composants, les spécifications... le parallélisme. Il y a des caractéristiques de bases dont une machine a besoin pour être 100%. Les buts sont de
comprendre ça et la relation que ça a avec la technique et de la modifier selon TES besoins et NON PAS de devoir t'adapter à ce que tu sors de la boite. N'acceptes pas que la machine que
tu achètes est déja toute réglée. Qui l'a construite? qui l'a vendue? Est-ce qu'ils savent vraiment ce dont TU as besoin, et ce dont la machine a besoin pour pouvoir faciliter tes besoins
artistiques techniques ?

est douteuse.. Je dis NOTRE industrie parce qu'il y a des gens impliques dedans juste pour faire de l'argent, qui ne tatouent pas, qui n'ont pas payes leurs droits dans ce business. Juste
parce que un fournisseur peut acheter des produits chinois en masse et les revendre, ne veut pas dire qu'il sait quoi que ce soit a propos de ce qu'il vent.

morts sur la figure photographiés dans un cimetière, est complètement à côté de la plaque.. ces magazines de la "culture du tatouage", et d'ailleurs presque tous les magazines dans cette
industrie montrent des photos d'artistes en train de tatouer sans "bags" sur leurs machines et 99% des artistes regarde cette photo et pense que c'est une PROCEDURE normale et
acceptable juste parc qu'ils le voient dans un magazine!... CA NE L"EST PAS ! Ce n'est PAS réglementaire avec les normes d'hygiène ! Cet art dépend de la science et de la physique -
systèmes techniques et mécaniques - et de l'observance de procédures avec des règles d'hygiène strictes parce que les clients SONT l'élément le PLUS IMPORTANT dans notre équation.
Ils viennent dans nos salons innocemment pour se faire tatouer et sont parfois accueillis avec des gros egos et des attitudes, persuadés avec des images sous-standard, et dissuadés de leur
propres idées originales parce que l'artiste n'est pas assez compétent pour faire le travail TEL UQE LE CLIENT LE VEUX, occasionnellement même, tatouant avec des machines mal
ajustées et un amateurisme non raffiné.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">C'est un boulot de service clientèle. C'est une opération chirurgical mineure et en tant que tel, il n'y a pas de place pour des "trousses tatouages" ou d'appareils "entrée de gamme".
Malheureusement, tout ça existe, c'est partout, les magazines en font des pubs plein page payées par les fournisseurs qui vendent ce genre de "trousses de base", qui vendent aux amateurs
leurs nouvelles identités... Et les pubs pour vêtements avec "salope" ou "white trash tatoué" écrit dessus, est-ce que c'est le genre de choses que nous, en tant que "artistes professionnels"
voulons être associés avec? La réalité est que les fournisseurs ne sont pas tenus responsables pour ce qu'ils vendent. Ils ne prennent pas la responsabilité de comprendre les produits qu'ils
vendent, ce n'est pas leur boulot. Rappels de pigments, aiguilles qui peuvent avoir plusieurs différents types de "tapers" dans un groupement. Parfois ils acceptent des renvois de machines
couvertes de déchets dangereux de clients qui ont touchés leurs machines avec leurs gants contaminés directement, sans les protéger, puis qui les revendent. TOUS NE LE FONT PAS MAIS
IL Y EN A QUI LE FONT... Malgré ça les artistes mettent toute leur confiance en ces fournisseurs. Allons donc, vraiment ?? C'est une épidémie et ce qui est vraiment foireux c'est qu'il y a un
grand nombre d'artistes qui s'en foutent parce qu'ils sont si occupés à soigner leurs images et maintenir leur egos qu'ils ne savent même pas qu'il y a un problème. Ceux qui savent qu'il y en
un ne savent pas exactement qu'est-ce qu'est le problème ou comment l'attaquer! Nous sommes des clients aussi, on achète des pigments, et des aiguilles et on fait nos propres
groupements, on est concernés par la qualité et pas la sécurité. On contrôle le serrage de nos aiguilles plutôt que de nous conformer au "standard chinois", vu qu'ils sont ceux qui vendent
des groupements tout faits très inconsistants. On essaie de ne rien acheter à qui que ce soit qui ne fait pas partie de la solution. Nous avons fait des tonnes d'interviews dénonçant ces faits. A
cause de la croissance en popularité du tatouage, de son énorme potentiel de profits et du statut de "rock star" qu'un artiste obtient immédiatement, il y a plein de débutants qui arrivent dans
nos effectifs. Les fournisseurs leur vends n'importe quoi sans une pensée pour le mal que cela peut causer. Il y a une fine ligne entre le manque de compréhension et ignorer de façon
flagrante ce qui se passe vraiment. Aucun magazine n'a eu les couilles de publier aucune de nos interviews de peur d'offenser les compagnies qui payent des pubs pleines pages et de peur
de devoir admettre qu'EUX-MEMES aident à perpétuer des éthiques sous-standards.

on n'est pas ensemble, on se parle au téléphone tous les jours pour discuter de nos idées et projets. Quand on se retrouve de nos jours, on ne tatoue pas toujours, on fait d'autres trucs.

surfer. On aime encore tatouer et être créatif en musique. On aime voyager et voir des endroits nouveaux. On aime faire des séminaires qui enseignent réellement on a beaucoup de
satisfactions à voir des gens vraiment bien "saisir". On adore faire des tournées et jouer de la musique! Toues ces choses nous ont apportés tant de satisfactions et de succès. On ne définit

changements positifs dans notre industrie. Voir des gens tel que Brett Fisher et sa famille, de 2Evolve Tattoo Supply à Cape Town, faire ce qu'ils font pour le tatouage, ça nous motive plus

Se escribió un libro llamado máquinas del tatuaje y sus secretos, que se traduce en 6 idiomas y los derechos de autor - este libro de texto industria continuación, se realizó en un libro electrónico para que los artistas del tatuaje desde cualquier lugar podían pagar y descargarlo. La Seguridad estaba mal y el libro se descargó ilegalmente más de 990.000 veces desde sitios de torrent - y que era sólo la versión Inglés! Empezamos nuestra empresa de máquinas con el objetivo de mejorar y perfeccionar la máquina de tatuaje electromagnética. Se desarrolló en la trayectoria de elevar el nivel de la industria. Creemos que la educación es fundamental en este negocio ... así que le ofrecemos todo lo que cualquier artista de cualquier nivel tiene que ser el mejor y para proteger a la industria de los fraudes, mitos, supersticiones y contrabandistas. Enseñamos seminarios a nivel mundial en máquinas de tatuaje. Arte posee Funhouse Tatuajes en Vancouver Canadá y Steve trabajo para Kari Barba en Outer Limits Tattoo en Orange California. Estamos acreditados con ser los "padrinos" de asociar el skate y el tatuaje estilo de vida tal como se documenta en la película Bart Saric "desollado vivo". “skinned alive”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Nos trasladamos a los EE.UU. a los 6 años de edad. Ese movimiento fue fundamental en la forma en que resultó y la forma en que percibimos el mundo. Nos mudamos a Lancaster Pennsylvania. Ese pueblo era muy conservador y clanes. Fuimos víctimas de los prejuicios contra los "extranjeros" ... como oponentes españoles que no encajamos, aunque hablaban perfecto Inglés, así! Así que, como puedes ver, estábamos perfectamente creados para estilos de vida y formas de expresión individuales - lo que podría decir "vete a la mierda" mejor en el mundo que no ser parte de ella? skate, punk rock y el tatuaje! En cuanto a los tatuajes, nos exponemos a los Cockney Rejects record "el Poder y la Gloria", que les representa en la contraportada mostrando sus tatuajes. Teniamos alrededor de 15 años ... tal vez fue 1982. Nosotros empezamos a andar en 1976, y me metí en el original, el punk británico de 1977 - después de estar con KISS ... jajajaja, y eso fue exactamente el período de tiempo que empezamos a venir a nuestro ... estos estilos de vida realmente hablaron con nosotros! skate nos enseñó "individualidad", Punk nos enseñó "rebelión" y tatuajes nos enseñó "la creatividad, la libre expresión y la libertad '. Nada se puede comparar. Los deportes de equipo? no hay manera ... Siempre hemos tenido una actitud de ser personas y no conformistas, desde una edad temprana. Empezamos juntos ... hicimos todo juntos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Fue duro para tatuarse. Los estudios solo tatuaban clientes de 18 años de edad y para arriba. Habíamos hecho un montón de tatuajes hechos en casa sobre nosotros en el 84 ... así que ya que ya estábamos 'tatuados' podríamos conseguir tatuajes. No había muchas tiendas en Dallas, Texas, donde nos habíamos mudado a ... volvamos un poco .. estábamos en Pennsylvania hasta que nos echaron de la escuela en el 82, cuando nos mudamos a la ciudad de México con nuestro padre. Patinaje todo el lugar .. totalmente por nuestra cuenta. Nos mudamos a Dallas donde nos patrocinamos para skate en 1983. Realizamos nuestra actitud con nosotros y nuestra banda sonora ... terminamos de nuevo en Pennsylvania durante los últimos 6 meses de la escuela secundaria ... volvimos a Dallas en 84/85 donde empezamos a hacerse tatuajes profesionales de artistas locales (Robert Hackney, Ken Cameron y un tipo llamado "Patrick") y empezó a tatuar a nosotros mismos con equipos profesionales .... y como patinadores profesionales, que tomaría el dinero per diem y tatuarse donde viajamos para concursos y demostraciones .. y sorprendentemente, las restricciones de edad se observaron en estas tiendas de la vieja escuela.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Disponibilidad? Creemos que la sociedad en general "se mueve" cuando las cosas son aceptables. No es de extrañar que se ha disparado! Es totalmente 'seguro' para tatuarse ahora. Cuando empezamos a tener tatuajes, no era asi, fuimos los más tatuados patinadores de nuestra generación y las ventas en el mercado demostró. La investigación de mercado mostró que las madres de los ni</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ñ</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">os de 14 años de edad estaban comprando los paneles de manera que las empresas no ven el valor de comercialización tatuado gemelos de punk rock. Usted ve, no nos preocupamos por lo que es aceptable y lo habríamos hecho sin tener en cuenta. Ahora, el tatuaje es fácilmente disponible para cualquier persona, cualquier estilo está disponible</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">para nadie... junto con esto ha llegado a la falta de ética en la industria - el cumplimiento de la salud, los proveedores que venden a 'cualquiera', ... ¿qué significa para ser tatuado ahora? No creo que las cosas han cambiado mucho .. Creo que más opciones en cuanto a la disponibilidad artística son mayores y mejores, en cuanto a ser una declaración de rebeldía, que no es tanto de un problema - a menos que usted está recibiendo los tatuajes faciales completos o tatuajes pandilleros. Todavía hay bolsillos en los EE.UU., donde el tatuaje sigue siendo un tabú ... pero no como fuera de los límites, ya que era cuando estábamos creciendo.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Siempre hemos sido creativos. Tenemos nuestra madre para agradecerle por eso. Cada vez que nos habíamos cansado de aburrirnos, ella había puesto un lápiz en la mano y nos dice - "dibujar" Haríamos artesanía, talla de madera .. arcilla, escultura .. papel maché! Hemos construido rampas para patinar ... pintamos nuestras rampas y tablas de patinetas .. Así que, sí, siempre hemos sido creativos.</span></div>

Se podía ver la evolución de la rebelión con el pelo de punta y pulseras de pinchos y escuchar a los Sex Pistols, a ser más extremo - cabezas rapadas y tatuajes ... hacernos tatuajes era lo próximo y luego hacer tatuajes. Para nosotros, parecía estar destinado a ser. Nunca vaciló. Hemos estado escuchando la misma música durante décadas, ha sido el andar por el mismo y el tatuaje también ... tenemos credenciales graves como resultado de estas pasiones. La combinación de estas cosas se absorbe fácilmente por el hecho de que éramos inadaptados en este mundo .. cuando en realidad, los cerdos conformistas fueron los inadaptados en nuestro mundo .. mayoría de los niños tenían miedo de rebelarse o de ser diferente. No era una opción ... nuestras raíces, nuestros filtros y nuestra determinación nos ayudaron a aceptar y acoger estos estilos de vida y perseverar y tener éxito en cada uno. Hemos redefinido estos estilos de vida para satisfacer nuestras necesidades, realizamos nuestras propias reglas - ya que no se ajustaba a las establecidas punk rock y normas de skate ya sea ...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Decidimos que el tatuaje era algo que queríamos aprender y sobresalir plus Tratamos de aprender , pero debido a los extensos horarios de viaje como skateboarders profesionales, no pudimos comprometernos con un aprendizaje a tiempo completo. Nos tatuamos unos a otros, aprendiendo todo lo posible por ver a los artistas que nos tatuaron. Vimos técnica, observamos prácticas estériles, lo hicimos lo mejor que pudimos, antes practicábamos en amigos. Eramos totalmente autodidactas.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- No ahora, en la actualidad uno al otro, en el pasado, siempre nos ha gustado el trabajo de Greg Irons. Él estaba haciendo tatuajes en tatuajes! O sea tatuajes de mujeres con tatuajes!!! Las líneas finas! eso fue lo que nos gustó - precisión, realismo. Nos gustaron los pequeños tatuajes negros y grises originales también como Jack Rudy, Mark Mahoney ... la mayoría de los otros parecía rudimentario para nosotros. Estoy hablando de "entonces". Ahora, hay una gran cantidad de artistas impresionantes. Hemos tomado más interés en nuestras innovaciones máquina sobre la inspiración artística en los tatuajes. Después de 28 años tatuando, nuestros intereses son un poco diferentes de lo que eran en los primeros días. Muchas inspiraciones antiguas se han vuelto muy distante a la reinspección. La obsolescencia de ciertas mentalidades y estilos de la vieja escuela, la constatación de que nos habían desilusionado por sus místicas por lo que ahora se trata de encontrar valor en nuestros propios esfuerzos - invenciones, innovaciones, etc.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- El impulso para el desarrollo de nuestras máquinas es el resultado de la insatisfacción que tuvimos con máquinas que compraría a las empresas de renombre, por no mencionar el aburrimiento. La verdadera razón por la que nos encontramos para la insatisfacción era nuestra propia ignorancia en aquel momento. Estamos acostumbrados a escuchar a otros artistas que tenían más experiencia todavía no podíamos entender por qué su trabajo era tan deficiente. Hemos jugado con nuestras máquinas durante mucho tiempo. El desarrollo de nuestras máquinas fue algo accidental. Tratando de ideas y luego perfeccionarlos. Simplemente al principio y luego cada vez más complejo! Construir una mejor trampa para ratones. Empezamos a entender el campo magnético y la permeabilidad, tenemos una comprensión real de la tensión del resorte en combinación con el movimiento ... tipo de medidores y vueltas de alambre y específicas en una variedad de la geometría de la bobina y aleaciones - lo suficiente para saturar la bobina con tensiones más bajas. Era nuestra necesidad de conocimiento también, para averiguar los porqués y los cómo de la función de la máquina y para resolver lógicamente y científicamente cómo podemos aplicar aquello hacia técnicas como las líneas finas estupendas, parches gigantes suaves, incluso de grises con la máquina mantenerse fresco, sin pérdida de potencia, sin saltos. Sólo consistencia suave.</span></div>

La falta de conocimiento es claramente evidente en esta industria desde la parte superior hasta el fondo. Dos más dos no son cuatro en este negocio. Hay mucha superstición y el mito, la gente que ladran a los árboles equivocados. Modelos de negocio estándar no funcionan en los tatuajes, los clientes no siempre tienen la razón! Las quejas sobre la venida de China y la venta de sus productos baratos. proveedores que no son responsables de los productos que venden, los artistas que piensan el proveedor sabe de lo que vende ... cuando el problema real es la población ignorante artista. Artistas les gusta quejarse y actuar como ellos saben ... una buena máquina? definir esa ... es marca? NO, hay fabricantes específicos que tienen un "nombre" que tatúan como </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">los niños </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> de 10 anos de edad! .. obviamente no entienden técnica artística, no tienen ni idea de cómo hacer que una máquina haga lo que se necesita, y mucho menos crear una máquina capaz de manejar esto! Una buena máquina? la conclusión es que cualquier máquina de tatuaje electromagnética se puede convertir en una buena máquina. Comprender la función, comprender componentes, especificaciones ... paralelismo. Hay características básicas de una máquina tiene que ser 100%. Los objetivos es entender esto y su relación con la técnica y modificarlo para sus necesidades y no tener que adaptarse a lo que usted compra fuera de la caja. No aceptamos que la máquina que usted compra ya están configurados. ¿Quién lo construyó? quien lo vende? es lo que realmente ,sabe lo que necesita y lo que el equipo tiene que hacer para poder facilitar sus necesidades técnicas artísticas?</span></div>

NO LO ES! No es compatible con la salud. Este arte depende de la ciencia y la física - los sistemas técnicos y mecánicos - y la observancia de los procedimientos conscientes de la salud, porque los clientes son los ingredientes más importantes en nuestra ecuación. Llegan a las tiendas inocentemente a tatuarse ya veces son recibidos con egos y actitudes, que se venden en las imágenes que son de mala calidad, son disuadidos de sus ideas originales porque el artista no es competente para hacer el trabajo de la manera EL CLIENTE QUIERE, De vez en cuando los tatuajes con máquinas sin sintonizar y amateurismo sin refinar.</span></div>

Por desgracia, está ahí, está en todas partes y las revistas anuncian anuncios de página completa de proveedores que venden este tipo de 'kits', que venden estos amateurs sus nuevas identidades ... anuncios en estas revistas para la ropa que dice "puta" o "basura blanca tatuada", es esto lo que nosotros como 'artistas profesionales' y quiere estar asociado con? La realidad es que los proveedores no tienen que rendir cuentas de lo que venden. Ellos no asumen la responsabilidad de entender los productos que llevan, que no es su trabajo. Pigmento recuerda, agujas que pueden tener diferentes tipos de velas en una agrupación. Aceptan máquinas devueltas a veces cubiertos de riesgo biológico de los clientes que no BOLSAS en sus máquinas, y volver a venderlos. NO TODO ELLO, NO SON ALGUNOS NO OBSTANTE QUE HACEN ... Sin embargo, el artista pone su fe completa en estos proveedores. Vamos, ¿en serio? es una epidemia y lo jodido es que hay un gran número de artistas que no les importa porque ellos están tan ocupados preparación de sus imágenes y el mantenimiento de sus egos que ni siquiera saben que hay un problema, los que se dan cuenta hay un problema no sabe lo que es o cómo atacan! Somos clientes de los proveedores, así, compramos pigmentos, compramos agujas sueltas y tomar nuestras propias agrupaciones, estamos preocupados por la calidad y la seguridad. Tenemos el control de la estanqueidad de las agrupaciones de agujas en vez de conformarse con un "estándar chino" como son los que venden pre agrupaciones inconsistentes hechos ... Nosotros tratamos de no comprar a nadie que no sea parte de la solución. Hemos hecho un montón de entrevistas que indican estos hechos. Debido al crecimiento de la popularidad de los tatuajes, es enorme el potencial de ingresos y el estado de la inmediata 'rock star' consigue un artista, un montón de principiantes nuevos están entrando en nuestra fuerza de trabajo. Ellos se venden productos sin pensárselo dos veces por los proveedores que no ven el mal en ello. Hay una línea muy fina entre la falta de comprensión y descaradamente caso omiso de lo que realmente está pasando. No hay revistas que tenían huevos para imprimir cualquiera de nuestras entrevistas porque no quieren que nuestro contenido ofenda a sus anunciantes de página entera, de sus anunciantes de la contraportada o cualquier persona que apoya este tipo de ética con conocimiento o sin conocimiento de causa, ni ellos mismos quieren ser gritó sobre la ética de calidad inferior que contribuyen a perpetuar.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Sí, son muy similares. Existen ligeras diferencias, pero son muy similares. Nuestro enfoque para el tatuaje no es tan planeada como lo es para algunos, nos basamos en la piel con una pluma ... un montón de trabajo a pulso. Nuestros clientes saben que esa es la forma en que rollo. También hacemos un montón de realismo, encubrimientos y pequeño trabajo real detallado que la mayoría de la gente no tocarían.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Jaja, es verdad, también hemos tomado más de lo que a veces ocurre. Las pasiones que hemos tenido cuando éramos niños inadaptados, que habían formado nuestras personalidades y personajes siguen llevarnos. Estas cosas están arraigados en nosotros a un nivel tan profundo que no se puede vender. Ellos nos dan unidad y dirección. Nos encanta patinar (skate) y surfear. Nos encanta tatuaje y ser creativos en la música. Nos encanta viajar y conocer nuevos lugares. Nos encanta enseñar seminarios de la máquina que realmente enseñan y obtienen gran satisfacción cuando vemos a las personas lo consiguen! '. Nos encanta recorrer y tocar música! Todas estas cosas nos han traído tanta satisfacción y éxito. No definimos el éxito como ganancia monetaria, lo definimos como la felicidad y la plenitud. Tenemos un mundo lleno de amigos y artistas de la misma página que quieren hacer cambios positivos en la industria, ver a la gente como Brett Fischer y su familia, de 2Evolve tattoo supply en Ciudad del Cabo (Cape Town, Sud Africa), no lo que hacen para el tatuaje más nos motiva! ! Nos inspiramos en muchas cosas.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey Guys, </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorry I haven’t been around much, this last year I have spent 8 months traveling and working through Europe on 3 different tours, and just wanted to say what a godsend your power supply has been on this last tour.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those that don’t have a chance to get out traveling much, one major difference when working in another country is the electrical current and the difference it makes in an electromagnetic device. I’ve had issues for the last year on 2 different tours with this problem and was overjoyed when I got to use this power supply for the first time with 220v outlets! With the built in voltage regulator everything ran smooth as tattooing out of my shop in Long Beach. Especially when doing a guest spot or convention over seas, fighting against your equipment is the last thing you want to deal with. For the FIRST time in the last 4 tours I didn’t have to worry about it. I could finally focus on the art, tattooing, and dealing with language barriers. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This tour kept me busy, starting with a small guest spot at Black 13 in Nashville, TN before working our way over to London, Spain, Portugal and Italy. The current varies amongst all these countries as well and I was able to get consistent power in each of them. I’ve included some photos of the work I did on this last tour overseas, also using all Godoy machines. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks again for the amazing products and support!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">GIVE US A BRIEF LOOK IN TO THE EVOLUTION OF 2 EVOLVE - WHAT THE GOALS WERE WHEN YOU STARTED AND HOW THEY HAVE 'EVOLVED' UP TIL NOW.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We moved from the supply of piercing to include tattoo when approached by studios for assistance in sourcing supplies. Unfortunately it was a case of naive sourcing by price, demand and availability, the intention was never to rape the industry but the gross naivety of how a Pick n Pay (mini Wal-Mart) type supply concept creates total havoc, never totally sunk in until clients and willing ethical manufacturers such as yourselves better educated us on the affects. That disconnect a supplier and manufacturer can have from the person walking around with a new tattoo is often the source of ignorance in the modus operandi of a supply chain.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we changed our company name to ‘2evolve’ it was kind of a mission statement in itself – the evolution of our business in its commitment to the community. Our livelihoods are 100 percent linked to the survival of the street shop and their ability to produce quality work with quality supplies.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today we are drastically improved in many respects but our goals now are;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Improving supply vetting, monitoring as well as ensuring we maintain it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- To drop many items from our supply range, replacing them with better quality. This is the one benefit of hindsight in supply- the real end cost of cheap products to both us and the client.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- More selective about manufactures, if they don’t understand our local issues or engage with us on dialogue over it, they no longer interest me.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Being able to hold larger stock volume to compensate for quality items that are not mass produced, manufacturing lead times frustrate local artists and their increasing ability to parallel import is what is keeping us on our toes right now.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HOW CLOSELY DOES THE S. AFRICAN 'TRENDS' IN SUPPLYING FOLLOW THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET? - HOW POPULAR IS THE ROTARY COMPARED TO ELECTROMAGNETIC?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">20 Years ago supply trends were limited to the release of new catalogues from suppliers like Spaulding or information shared by artists returning from Europe and America. Today with manufacturer web-sites, social media platforms and blogs, artist are being exposed to supply trends almost immediately. This equates to an artist demand for certain items ultimately driving the suppliers to source accordingly.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To a large extent a lot of what is going on right now, matches North America in terms of flavour of the month or ‘endorsed’ products. There is a demand we can directly correlate to endorsed / sponsored products appearing in blogs, online advertising and technique related DVD’s by the more internationally recognised artists. The upside is good endorsements give confidence in the products where there is no history and the downside is bad endorsements are creating a fad consumer culture in the community.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right now we sell way more electro-magnetic machines than rotaries; however, the demand for rotary machines is definitely on the rise.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently we supply throughout South Africa and her nine provinces. We also supply Swaziland, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Botswana.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THE DYNAMICS OF THE TATTOO INDUSTRY HAVE BEEN A HURDLE FOR US AS FAR AS COMMUNICATING THE MUCH A NEEDED CHANGE IN ETHICS DIRECTION AND EDUCATION.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HOW DO YOU HANDLE THIS? HAVE YOU SEEN CHANGES SINCE THE BEGINNING,? AND IN HOW LONG OF A PERIOD, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE ARTIST POPULATION THAT YOU SUPPLY "GET IT"?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The challenge has always been an adoption of unified best practices, getting to a point where there is a unanimous consensus on issues like studio hygiene, cross contamination etc. We lack national laws and where by-laws exist we lack enforcement, this has lead our business to adopt internal standards we expect clients to adhere too, however I don’t believe this is ideal….</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of ethics, suppliers have a commitment to the products they supply and whom they supply them to. But right now those ethics are meaningless in stopping the wave of supplies that are readily available on almost every online auction site! Many manufacturers have gone a long way to removing their products from this sales domain, but it’s been a needle in a haystack approach to cutting off the supply to minute made artists….</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, I am not going to lambaste other suppliers as we have our own history and faults to be critiqued – but we do all need to up our game in this regard. Much like the artists that lack a consensus, the same applies to the suppliers and manufacturers. However it’s important that the artists realise that they themselves hold the key to supplier ethics by virtue of funding. A simple case of not purchasing equates to a vote of no-confidence in the suppliers ability to maintain their ethics. Personally I don’t think artists realise their ability to control the supply is in their hands and that the ethics they exude are basically mirrored in the suppliers they purchase from.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we started our company in 1987 it was done with R200.00 (about 100 dollars at the 1987 exchange rate) and zero resources, because of that we understand the hand to mouth nature of many small studios as they build a client base. On-going education should be a core focus and being able to assist with that meant a great deal to us.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we had the opportunity to host you in RSA it was a huge deal for us, it was largely because of you that we progressed to be the supplier we are today. Hosting your seminar was also an opportunity to learn from you while here and also to see that information parted among artists locally was a fantastic experience for us.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WHAT KIND OF CHANGE DO YOU SEE THIS TYPE OF ACTION BRINGING TO THE S. AFRICAN INDUSTRY?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don’t think I can overstate the importance of getting peers into the same room, to get them chatting and sharing ideas in an educational setting. To be able to share information is pretty much the only way the community moves forward. North America is spoilt in this regard – attracting global skills and dispersing them through seminars and conventions. To have seminars brought here, to see internationals arriving on our shores to guest or participate in conventions like the Cape Town tattoo convention, is fantastic. It up’s our game but the fundamental is the dynamic of peer participation and shared skills development.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WHAT ARE DISTRIBUTOR ETHICS? IS THERE SUCH A THING? ETHICALLY, WHAT ARE SOME REQUIREMENTS WHICH SET YOU APART FROM OTHER SUPPLIERS?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think the simplest definition for me, would be the understanding of the end impact of supply choices: what the product impact is as well as the impact in the hands of the person whom you have sold it to.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are suppliers with great ethics, some maybe better than ours. But my personal concern is to eliminate poor products from our range as well as the poor usage of our products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">YOUR PRODUCT STOCK HAS PROBABLY CHANGED ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE ARTIST? DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE ARE UNFOUNDED DEMANDS FOR PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOTHING BUT HYPE? ARE YOU LOOKING OUT FOR ARTISTS AND INVESTING IN PRODUCTS THAT ACTUALLY DO WORK?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find this all the time, the ‘flavour of the month’ products that come and go so fast these days. Every second person is making tattoo machines these days it seems. There is massive pressure on suppliers to keep up with the demand or be seen as ‘behind the times’. It’s a double edged sword for us, we prefer to invest in lines of substance and not in trends but it even goes into the issue of cheap vs quality. I think quality manufacturers also need to be more progressive in pricing structures to assist smaller countries like ours where scales of economy are not factored in on the ‘bulk price’ and moq’s.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HOW MANY OTHER SUPPLIERS ARE 'YOUR COMPETITION? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s a good question, not so long ago you could count suppliers on one hand, today there are 20 odd in Cape Town alone that I know of. But in terms of quality supplies and not just a stock holding of straight up Chinese only products, around 3 to 4 only.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THERE IS A SAYING 'IF YOU DON'T BUY, THEY CAN'T SUPPLY" THAT MEANS WE AS ARTISTS CAN POTENTIALLY CONTROL WHO IS ALLOWED 'INTO' OUR INDUSTRY AND WHO CANNOT COME IN. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE INFLUX OF THE CHINESE LOW GRADE PRODUCT?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s not an easy answer, we were one of the suppliers who went this route when we started, the problem as you have stated is not with Chinese product, it’s the demand for cheap Chinese product. More worrying though is the demand for dangerous products like counterfeit inks.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ultimately it’s based on demand – We have been trying to phase the cheaper needles out, but find we hit a brick wall with demand for them. Again here we are stuck between demand and ETHICS of knowing the product supplied is not of the production standard it should be. The middle ground route we have undertaken is to get an improvement on the production of the product whilst still keeping the pricing reasonable for local artists and our much lower buying power. Here again like you have mentioned – the demand is created by the artist, if you don’t buy it – they we won’t supply it….</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT, AN ARTIST'S EDUCATION OR THE ELIMINATION OF THE CHINESE MACHINE - THERE ARE TONS OF OTHER 'REPUTABLE' MACHINES WHICH ARE ON PAR? WE FEEL THAT WITH A REAL EDUCATION ON MACHINE FUNCTION AND TECHNIQUE, AN ARTISTS CAN SHOP WISELY AND REPAIR OR MODIFY ANY PRODUCT HE ORDERS. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Education, education, education. The elimination of an inferior cloned product comes down to the education surrounding it. Having the ability to modify and repair is still a major issue locally and fuels the ‘full draw of useless or problematic machines’.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IS THERE A STANDARD? DO YOU SEE THAT THERE IS A HOMOGENIZED STANDARD ON PRODUCTS, OR IS IT A FREE FOR ALL ? OR IS THERE A MADE UP STANDARD' WHERE A REPUTABLE MACHINE IS REALLY NOT AT ALL WHAT THE HYPE SAYS IT IS? AND NEEDLES TOO?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think there is repetition above all else, a copy of standards created years ago. We see it with machines out of China as well as new ‘machine builders’ who pretty much clone others and modify the side plate to create a sense personalisation. I think most would agree there is a lot of copying above all else.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am very upbeat about our future locally and the attention our country is receiving, recently after the very successful Cape Town Tattoo convention, I had the privilege of getting tattooed by Bob Tyrell at Metal Machine – next to me tattooing in quest spots were– Rosanna Demadona and Randy Englehart…..</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You guys have been the first manufactures to honestly take note of us and South Africa, the fact that you built us a quality custom machine still amazes me today. The 2E was important to us for two reasons; it offered us a brilliant quality machine at a very reasonable price to local artists, as well as showing your trust in us with your brand. The A2E was just the crème on top, a super light-weight aluminium frame with no sacrifice on the typical super smooth Godoy machine performance.</span><br />

SAY YOU BOUGHT A CAR... BRAND NEW. WOULD YOU DRIVE IT INTO THE GROUND AND NOT CARE ABOUT THE WEAR ON IT'S TIRES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, MECHANICAL SYSTEM? OR WOULD YOU MAINTAIN IT WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE WHENEVER NECESSARY WITH OIL CHANGES, SPARK PLUG AND WIRE CHANGES, CHECK FLUIDS... ETC. SO THAT IT WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF LOYAL SERVICE? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HOPEFULLY THE LATTER... IN TATTOO MACHINES, THE SAME APPLIES. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IN THIS IGNORANT INDUSTRY, THE MACHINE IS THE LAST THING PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT. FIRST IS THEIR IMAGE, SECOND - THEIR EGO, THIRD - "THEIR" DRAWING STYLE, THIRD - MAKING MONEY... SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE, THE CLIENT FITS IN, HEALTH AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE AND MAYBE, THEIR MACHINES. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE COMPLAIN. BECAUSE THEY ARE INCAPABLE TO DO ANYTHING THEMSELVES ABOUT ANYTHING. IT'S A SAD STATE TO CONSIDER YOURSELF A PROFESSIONAL AND NOT KNOW HOW TO DIAGNOSE A SIMPLE MALFUNCTION OR PERFORMANCE GLITCH IN YOUR MAIN TOOL!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
THE TATTOO MACHINE IS THE MAIN TOOL OF THE TRADE. IT IS THE CATALYST BETWEEN CREATIVE MENTAL GENIUS AND IT'S TRANSITION INTO PERMANENT PIECE OF TATTOOED ART . IF YOUR TOOLS ARE NOT TUNED, HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO TRANSLATE YOUR ARTWORK INTO A FINAL TATTOO PRODUCT? THE MACHINE'S PERFORMANCE DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE CLIENT - THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS PUZZLE. IT'S HIS DEMAND FOR TATTOOING WHICH KEEPS ALL OF US IN BUSINESS. WE OWE HIM THE BEST WE CAN GIVE HIM./HER.<br />

WE OFTEN GET EMAILS FROM ARTISTS ABOUT THEIR MACHINES 'HEATING UP'.. AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY... SIMPLE., THEY DON'T MAINTAIN THEIR MACHINES.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A SIMPLE NAIL FILE CAN TAKE THE BUILT UP CARBON OFF THE CONTACT SCREW. THIS WILL ALLOW CURRENT TO FLOW WITHOUT HINDERANCE. USING ONE RUBBER BAND WILL PUT LESS STRESS ON THE REAR SPRING AND ALLOW THE COILS TO PULL THE ARMATURE BAR DOWN WITH LESS RESISTANCE. STAINLESS STEEL TIPS ALLOW THE NEEDLES TO SLIDE EFFORTLESSLY AS COMPARED A LESS FRICTION RESISTANT PLASTIC TIP - THESE IN EFFECT TURN STICKY AND SLOW DOWN THE MOVEMENT OF THE NEEDLE GROUPINGS. ADDING A DROP OF WATER TO COLORS WHICH HARDEN WILL RETARD THE HARDENING OF THE INK INSIDE THE TIP OF THE TUBE AND KEEP THE MOVEMENT CONSISTENT. ALSO CONSIDER A FINER PIN, WITH A LONGER TAPER. A SHORTER BLUNT TAPER WILL BE HARDER TO PENETRATE THE SKIN AS OPPOSED TO A LONG SHARP TAPER, THE MACHINE WILL WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY. THESE ARE SOME SIMPLE THINGS WHICH CAN BE DONE.</div>

ANOTHER, IS TO TAKE THE SEMINAR WE OFFER. WE DO NOT TRY AND SELL OUR MACHINES, UNLIKE SOME OF THESE OTHER 'SEMINAR' GIVERS. WE TEACH A HIGHLY IN DEPTH COURSE WHICH IS GUARANTEED TO EDUCATE AND PRODUCE RESULTS. KNOWING THE MACHINE INSIDE AND OUT WILL FOREVER CHANGE THE WAY YOU TATTOO FOR THE BETTER. IT WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR TATTOO ARTIST COSTUME, IT WILL NOT INFLATE YOUR EGO... BUT IT WILL PUT YOUR VALUES IN LINE AND RAISE YOUR STANDARDS AND <b>YOUR</b> VALUE AS AN ARTIST, IT WILL BENEFIT THE CLIENT, IT WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THE IGNORANT SUPPLIER WHO'S JOB IS ONLY TO SELL PRODUCTS, MOST OF WHICH HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT... </div>

THINK ABOUT IT... THEN TAKE ACTION.</div>
