Special Limited Edition run of Mike Pike Smith & Howard Machine Kits!
Milled with updated Mike Pike geometry in the shape of what is traditionally referred to as a Blackie frame for its association with the tattoo artist Brooklyn Blackie. Many are under the presumption he was the originator of this design, but this frame shape was originally made by Smith & Howard Tattoo Supply in the early 1900s.
