A Few Words From Seth about this machine:
"these are the culmination of everything I've learned in more than 20 years of building machines, from a comfortable clip cord position, purposeful geometry, ease of maintenance, useful tube vise, to good balance, and everything else in between. they have a wide operating range, and are capable of pushing the big stuff with ease, or backing off for finesse when executing the most detailed and intricate work. I couldn't be happier with how they've turned out."

We are very pleased to welcome Adam Ciferri back to the Workhorse team! In honor of his return we are releasing the machine Adam is best known for, his Bulldog Shader, a true classic.

Bulldog Shader Specs:
- Tuned for all-day, every-day street shop and/or custom tattooing

- Weighs 7.2 Ounces
- MADE IN THE USA

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

Limited Edition Green Joshua Bowers Big Can Rotary Tattoo Machine!

We are very excited to welcome Joshua Bowers to the Workhorse team with his Micro and Big Can Rotary machines! Joshua has been tattooing for 13 years, building machines for 11 and specifically building and dialing in his Rotary machines for the last 5 years. He is a great addition to our lineup with his years of artistic experience and wealth of knowledge in machine dynamics and functionality.

A Few Words From Joshua about this machine:
Super smooth and consistent machine. Powerful through the whole stroke but designed to back off slightly in the middle and back end of the stroke to prevent overworking the skin. Super versatile, great for color saturation, blending, and even black and gray. Plenty of stroke to hang out for nice traditional whips or back it up and increase the voltage for smooth saturation. Has a penetrating stroke down to 4 volts which is great for stippling.

- CNC Single Piece Body
- Custom Matte Mint Green Finish
- Deluxe Brass Hardware
- Weighing 4.4oz
- Runs best around 7-7.6 Volts
- Pushes any grouping with ease
