Nothing says scratcher….

..like a crappy tattoo of a tattoo machine.

So if you are or ever plan on being a tattooer and you also plan on getting a tattoo of a tattoo machine, make damn sure it is a good one like this one by Randy Polillo of Dynasty Tattoo in Newfield, NJ.

    Nice! I love this, especially with that burst of orange ink.

    Really cool in a surrealist kind of way.

    When I first skimmed over the topic, and first sentence I thought you were hating on this tattoo. I was like “dude, that shit is amazing, Sean’s a moron. Then I read the rest and was like, oh nvm.

    it looks so phallic

    lol .. comic sans … im assuming you guys are just doing it ironically now

    i would have put a black outline on the machine frame… otherwise it looks like 2 different tattoos with one faded. But a very good tattoo nonetheless!

    very well done.. i’m hoping it’s not finished though.. needs an awesome background.

    it’s a pet peeve of mine to see such beautiful tattoos with no background.. nothing to make it “pop!”

    The chrome effect is really nice.
    It difficult to paint so I can imagine it would be odd to tattoo.

    loving the line weight variation from the foreground to the background.. it messes with the eyes at first till you start to realize its meant to shift your focus..
    Id just be getting pissed about the overspray on the machine if it were mine…lol

    Whoaaa!))) I want something like this on me)))

    Oh wow, it does shift focus- that’s impressive

    You think comic sans is bad wait till I start writing entire entries in wing dings!

    Depth of field in tattoos = sexy.
