Workhorse Irons Dot Box

Small batch of Workhorse Dot Boxes now available!! After many requests we decided to do another small batch of these. Originally we made Dot Boxes about 10 years ago using Pulse Width Modulation to create intermittent power bursts for dot work. But we stopped making them after a few years when some others copied the design and outsourced overseas to make a cheap knock off version. 

This has been a fun side project we have been working on to help turn any coil machine into a dot machine for making Dotwork Tattoos using controlled intermittent power bursts. The Dot Box is simple and easy to use! It works in-line and plugs directly into your power supply in the clip cord hole and has a range of speed controlled by simply turning the delay knob.

Yes, there are many ways to do dots and if you have a strategy that works well for you already, more power to you! Our Dot Box is just a different approach, and if nothing else, a fun tool to play with, enjoy!

For Best Performance:

• The Dot Box works best with medium or slow, hard hitting liners....or any shader
• Quick and zippy light hitting machines are not as effective
• Best dots are made using Tight Rounds....Loose Rounds seem to blow out a little bit
• Some machines need to be turned up a Volt or two for better results
• Not recommended for use with Rotary machines...use with Rotary machines can damage the motor
• Timing of the tattoo machine when in use with the Dot Box will create various rhythms and patterns, adjust voltage and Dot Box Delay for varying performance and effect
• Match hand speed to the intermittent power bursts to ensure clean dot patterns.... if the Dot Box is at a slow setting you will need to move slower, fast setting move faster (duh).

*this is not a power supply, you will still need a power supply, the dot box simply plugs into your power supply.

Saniderm

Saniderm Tattoo Adhesive Film is a flexible, breathable, protective layer that allows for your tattoo to heal properly, while simultaneously eliminating the need to constantly avoid water, apply lotions, etc. With Saniderm, your client can go about her/his usual routine and still expect to have a sharp, vibrant, and fully healed tattoo. 

Tips for Saniderm Tattoo Aftercare:

• For maximum comfort, ensure skin is in a neutral position when applying Saniderm. When applying to elbows and knees, the joint should be in a neutral position — neither straight nor completely bent.
  
• Shave, shave, shave. Peeling Saniderm off of hair is unpleasant. Shave the entire area, plus an additional inch all the way around the site of the tattoo.
  
• Practice before you apply. If it's your first time using Saniderm, it may be a little tricky to work with. It doesn't hurt to practice with a small section first, just make sure you shave the area.
  
• When cutting the bandage for application, remember that rounded corners provide the best adhesion.
  
• It's okay, when using multiple Saniderm bandages, to overlap them by 1/2 inch (1 cm).
  
• If using a glycerin soap, such as green soap, be sure to rinse thoroughly, as any residue will react with the adhesives and can cause binding and irritation. Avoid loofahs or scratchy wash cloths.

Sea Foam - 2 oz. Twist Top Bottle 

Stable Color Traditional Pigment is a powder pigment based ink, it is a bit thicker and based off traditional recipes that have been used to mix ink for years. If you know how to tattoo with a thicker powder pigment based ink, you will be stoked, it's super opaque and heals out bright, and can be cut down a bit if need be.....if you don't know how to tattoo with thicker pigment, we recommend trying our Eternal Inks.

Stable Color Inks have been researched and field tested to ensure quality and workability. The vehicle is made up of distilled water, 99.9% pure glycerin (vegan safe), and 99% ISP alcohol - No Surprises or Extra Ingredients. From bright solid fields, to pastel hues, to muted painterly tones. These inks are formulated for maximum flexibility, achieving the results you desire.

Here are a few words from Seth on this new machine:

This is a frame style I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and finally got around to making it happen. Based almost entirely on an English doorbell I found at a flea market, with exact geometry, it hits HARD and can push any liner grouping on very low voltage and amps. PLUS I added in a new vise lock mechanism that holds any tubes.

The response to these new doorbell liners has been overwhelming and exciting. It’s been a long time since I’ve designed and built a machine that gets me this hyped! I think I’ve cracked the code on this one, my friends. Compact and sturdy, built to last a lifetime.
