So I recently found out that lucky supply builds all of Bert Kraks and Mike Wilson's machines . Don't beleive me? Just take a look at all of the similarities between these builders. They happen to almost be identical in many ways from the parts to the tuning. Take a look at how the coils are wrapped and the coil washers used , also how the lead wires are twirled . They happen to also be built by a non tattoo artist Jimmy Whitlock who has never once tattooed a day in his life no matter what he may tell people . He has never even apprenticed like he tells people . Never worked at Lou's tattoo and lied his way into the business . I just think its sad to lie and rip off credible artists and the same for Bert Krak and Mike Wilson to lie as well to artists that buy their machines and peddle them as there own. Also Jimmy Whitlocks son Michael Whitlock builds machines as well . This kid is like 19-20 yrs old building machines for lucky supply and Bert and Mike also. What a freaking joke . Do your homework artists and don't pay into these lies that they tell you. Buy machines from hardworking REAL artists that care about what they sell you .

Well, machines aren't really hard to build anyway. It's about the same as building fancy doorbells. But making a name for yourself doing it is not so easy. Ask Aaron Cain, or Jim Martini. Lucky Supply can do what they want. It's not gonna keep me awake at night.
