V2 MACHINE...

In the above photo, is our successful V2 machine. The slanted square coil assembly was designed and prototyped in 1999 and the patent was granted in our "square electromagnetic coil assembly" in 2003. The frame was designed to accommodate the V2 Coils assembly, to comfortably move the spring (gauge) armature bar assembly with the speed and force necessary to apply smooth shades, solid lines with any size grouping, fine and single needle lines as well as large magnums... truly a versatile all in one machine. The futuristic aesthetics are included!!! The early stages of the design were the most interesting. Cutting balsa, sanding, doing math to figure out how much each casted metal frame would weigh in relation to the mass of the balsa. On the first runs of this frame, we did a CNC frame machined out of billet aluminum - the cost was approximately $320 each. We also casted brass and aluminum. Brass was unreal, there was a run of maybe 20 brass. The aluminum became our choice for the V2, weighing in at just over 4 oz. Most of the weight was found in the coil assembly. Wanna understand the machine- it's function, how to better your existing machines, requirements for a perfectly versatile machine?... participate in one of our seminars or buy our book: "TATTOO MACHINES & THEIR SECRETS" .

Seminars

SEMINARS ON THE ELECTROMAGNETIC TATTOO MACHINE. REQUIREMENTS: - MINIMUM 15 PEOPLE PER SEMINAR, PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS ONLY - ARTISTS WHO WORK IN STUDIOS. The Godoy Machines tattoo machine seminar provides a complete dissection of the electromagnetic tattoo machine. Detailed descriptions of the scope of the electromagnetic tattoo machine. Including material, properties and function, manufacturing, assembly, insulation, magnetic field, capacitors, capacitance, polarity, wire - gauges, layers turns...everything a professional tattoo artist needs to know - including the tattoo machine's function as applied to technique. This is a 6 - 9 hour class, depending on the number of participants. Sometimes the class can be divided over 2 days. This is the most thorough and complete seminar offered anywhere. We charge 300 dollars or Euros per person. This covers our cost to travel and accommodation - wether we travel to Europe or any other continent. This 300 dollar (or Euro) cost pays for material and tools which the class will use to repair their machines - taps, dyes, hole punches, Dremmel, files, heat shrink, capacitor(s), screws, binding posts, contact screws etc. This price also pays the shipping costs to send the tools and materials. The 300 dollar (or Euro) charge also absorbs the cost of paying the organizer a percentage to help with the expense of the rented hall. We cannot offer "FREE" seminars due to these costs. FREE seminars at any convention or events will not be considered.
