Tattoo Machine Discourse Volume 1 is Shane Enholm's long-awaited book on the American tattoo machine. Across 147 pages he draws on decades of collecting, close research and plain affection for the machines themselves, setting down what he has learned about how they were made, who made them and how they changed over time.
The tone is as entertaining as it is informative. Rather than a dry catalog, it reads like a conversation with someone who has handled a great many old machines and spent years tracking down their stories, which makes it approachable even if you have never built a frame or wound a coil.
Essential reading for machine builders, collectors of vintage tattoo machines and anyone interested in tattoo history from the tools outward. The compact softcover is easy to keep on the bench while you work.
