Here are a few words from Seth on the evolution of his "Classic":

In 2003, when BJ and I founded Workhorse Irons, we each had one model available! The frame style I chose was based on what we've come to know as the Coleman style frame, popularized by Paul Rogers, and many who came after, recognizing the versatility and functionality of it's geometry. With a few simple adjustments, just about any type of liner or shader can be set up with relative ease. We called it the Classic, in acknowledgment of it's well-established lineage.

As thousands of the "Classic" liners and shaders made their way into the hands of tattooers; beginning, established, and everywhere in between, we've been given incredible amounts of feedback about what you have come to desire in an everyday workhorse. Over the years, we've employed a handful of different materials for these machines, mostly cast iron, with some limited editions in brass, aluminum, 3 piece "pre-fab" frames in steel, and eventually CNC machined blocks of "10-00" iron.

Rather than aiming to produce a machine that adheres to the aesthetic and expectations of old-school tattooing, this time we've addressed numerous shortcomings of the average "iron", and have designed a pair of machines with the intent of making them a pleasure to use. Clipcord position and simple vise operation became priorities. If the clipcord can't maintain a solid connection while you work, then your job becomes tedious and annoying. If your vise can't hold any tube, or requires the use of extra tools to get them in and out of the machine, then you're wasting valuable time and energy that could be spent making money.

We wanted to create a tool that's lightweight and balanced, yet rigid and strong enough to stay tuned. With an extra-deep pocket for an extra-thick steel yoke, and a drop vise, we've worked around the issue of frame height dictating which tubes are long enough to accommodate standard length needles, and we've placed enough ferrous mass under your magnets to keep them fired up on low voltage, hitting as hard as you want, all day.

Aluminum frames tend to wear at the connections, so we've added a steel insert for long-lasting and dependable clipcord contact. (again, that connection is so important!) To ensure proper alignment, we've added a recessed channel in the spring shelf, and a mated steel cover that sits flush with the front edge, as well as the top.

These aren't tricks, but deliberate updates, each made with the tattooer in mind. The Modern Classic is designed for comfort and dependability, and is suitable for use with virtually any grouping. Start off on low voltage, then dial up as you see fit to get the saturation you're after, at the hand-speed you choose.

-Seth C.

A Few Words From Joshua about this machine:
This is a very powerful and capable machine. It has real nice stroke characteristics, nice and snappy with the perfect amount of bog. The best machine if you're wanting to use one machine for lining, shading, or both. Designed for use with cartridges but is equally effective running needle and tube setup. It has a nice snappy powerful stroke that will drop in nice single pass lines with large or small groupings. As a shader, turn the voltage down to slow the speed and still have that punch to drop in solid color or blend with very low trauma.

BLACK FRIDAY Dan Kubin X Adam Ciferri Ghost Dog Revival V2 - Wild Style #2

$685.00 USD $585.00 USD

*BLACK FRIDAY Special Edition run at special pricing! New V2 GDR Limited Edition Run with Wild Style Powder Coat Finish!

This is the new updated and improved version of the DK x AC Ghost Dog Revival. V2 features an upgraded slide vise guaranteed to easily work with any and all tubes, an opened up geometry for better function, performance, and power. Everything else is the same, just dialed in a little more to make it a little better :)

"Since working with Workhorse Irons, I have been given the opportunity to remaster my Revival machine, but being able to merge it into the platform of Adam Ciferri’s Ghostdog.

There have been many things I’ve learned from the original Revival, along with many more years experience with the compression spring/bearing pivot.

Combine that with a superior magnetic circuit that Adam and Workhorse have dialed in, and you get something quite magical.

We are very pleased with the performance, versatility, and ergonomics of this machine.

It’s functional voltage range starts at around 4.5 volts, and keeps going up without chatter or excessive heat.

With the engineering that went into the spring setup, the user does not have to settle for squishy nipples to prevent their springs from breaking.

This machine comes stock as a strong, medium speed liner (or fast shader) at around 105-110 cps loaded. (About 125-130 cps unloaded)

Because of the large voltage range, it is capable of all size needle groupings. (*the contact screw can be backed out to run in the 90 cps range as well)

For a slappier, punchier hit, the backer spring under the contact spring can be removed.

I have put much attention into the weight distribution, to put the weight forward and low, providing superior stability, and preventing wrist fatigue.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Ghostdog Revival!"

Thanks - Dan.
