A few words from Adam addressing Frequently Asked Questions:

1) Is this a liner or a shader? Yes. Adjust the gap and the compression spring via the adjustment screw beneath the frame and you’ve got a whole lot of range that will make a whole spectrum of tat wizardry possible.

2) Will it push cartridges? Yes, once it’s broken in a bit, you can get down however you’d like-I certainly won’t judge you.

3) How long does it take to break in? 1-2 hours of tattooing should do it. How much does it weigh? 5.8 ounces.

4) What types of needle groupings will this thing push? 5 needle outlines and up, 7 mags and up.

Adam Ciferri Pitbull Liner 

Limited Edition Ugly Green x Black 

A few words from Adam on his history with this machine:
"I think most of you know that I've been making a version of this machine since about 1999, but, I don't know how many of you really know the story of how this machine came to be…

In mid 1999, the first Pitbull outliners were made by chopping down some bulldog shaders. They ran a bit slow and punchy for what I'd call an outliner, but, they definitely did the job. Over the years, there have been a few iterations of this machine, and almost all of them were based on, basically, cutting up a shader and, either making due with the geometry, or adjusting the geometry.

What we have here is the new version I designed for Workhorse Irons. This machine is based on the dedicated geometry that I've wanted for this machine since, just about, day one. It lends itself to a few different liner configurations without needing to apply any hocus-pocus. Small groupings? Sure. Medium groupings? Yes. Big, fat, ig'nunt-ass outlines? Fuck yeah-continually, since 1999! This machine has a great range, but is basically set up to make big fucking outlines, quickly."

Adam Ciferri Limited Cast Iron Bulldog Shader 

Special Edition Palleon Panther x Gold

A few words from Adam on his history with this machine:
"In 1996 I started making machines known as "Bulldogs" with Mike Malone, as the previous builder of this classic machine had ceased making them, and there was a void to be filled. The idea for this was mine, and I ran it by Mike. He had asked me to build shaders for him to re-sell, as he was happy building liners and didn't feel much of an affinity for building shaders.

So, we embarked on our plan to start re-making the shader known as "the bulldog" and it was to be a partnership. Our partnership, like so many, had some snags, and in our haste to get the project rolling, we never nailed down some key details of the partnership. Predictably, we both made some serious mistakes, both professionally, and privately, and these mistakes ultimately led to some interesting interpretations and speculations of what my role was in making this machine.

I do not claim to own anything surrounding this machine but my work and my word.
I have made this machine, continually for nearly 20 years, and intend to continue making this machine for as long as this demand dictates.

Thank you, Workhorse Irons, for making this project happen, thank you Mike Malone for the opportunity to have a part in the lineage of this machine, and thank you, Fellow Tattooers, who buy my machines and allow me to do what I love."
Respectfully, Adam C
