shaneenholm Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 cool thanks for sharing that....I always thought scott sterling was the first one doing that with jonesys...cutting the sidewing and hammering it back...he called those" magic markers" cool name...but I love Scott (he makes me laugh just thinking about him) so he can't really do wrong in my book anyway I always thought he was the 1st guy doing that..and that was kinda a longer throw liner than the rollomatics(i see more young tattooers using long throws than ever and the lining is so clean that you must be on to something....) But recently(last few years) a friend of mine got a jonesy Paul rogers had built in 83...(or 86..i will ask him)anyway it was smashedback.....so that throws a whole new twist on that.....Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hey everybody, i had a chance to visit Masters Tattoo in downtown San Diego and sho enuff they had a pretty good display of some old Jonesys and some old rotaries there, the place is like an ole tattoo museum and loads of old flash. i started asking questions about the "swing gates" cuz im not really sure what exactly make a swing gate and the guy at the counter refered me to Greg Deininger, who happened to be a tattoo machine maker who took the time to talk to me about machine stuff and showed me several of his machines,,overall it turned out to be a pretty cool expierience. Masters Tattoo is like 15 minutes from my home and i never have even been in there!! Master Tattoo is on facebook and they have pics of al ltheir machines that they have on display,,pretty cool stuff. later guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneenholm Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Masters....felix and his kids ..at one time bought alot of Los angeles Tattoo Supply company machines from lou and ernie in the 50s....That place had Al miller....who was a monster tattooer..i had heard a story that Al would spread cig butts around the front of the shop right before military paydays so whn the sailors would see them they would figure people were waitin in long lines for the best tattoos....I have not been down there since 83 or 84 well mid 80s... as far as the gates...90 miles too far south....
