Knowing the right vocab is essential in any industry. The way you refer to something can either point to your knowledge of a scene or your complete separation from it. And one major debate in the tattoo world is whether that nifty device artists use to tattoo is called a “gun” or a “machine.” Sullen TV presents us with an inside look at what the artists directly in the biz think and everyone from Timmy B to London Reese has something to say. But for the record, please remember: you want to be tattooed by a machine, not a gun.
