Gotta love that folks can buy their own machines now!

Tattoo machines were regulated?
- They were self regulated by the tattoo industry. Shops wouldn't sell them to you online or in person without a license or a verified shop claiming you. Then, Amazon started selling cheap, Chinese knock off kits to whoever had access to a credit card.
  
  Maybe they wanted to avoid people tattooing rose vines that look more like ballsacks on their skin.
  
  Some of my highest quality tatts were done by people who weren't certed and hadn't ever worked at a shop. If one was interested in buying a machine, and really wanted one, they were easily available and always have been.
- Not regulated, but most reputable suppliers will not sell to anyone that does not work in a shop.
  
  But now that amazon exists, we get to see all these horrible pieces!
I’m digging the heart-butts though.
- You mean the half-finished cock and balls?
