QUALITY TATTOOING WITH DISPOSABLE PLASTIC SINGLE USE TUBES BY DAVE KNOX FAIRBANKS ALASKA

I am always harping to my tattoo friends about disposable equipment and the benefits of their use. Did you know that many professional tattooers will only use their steel tubes that they have to clean, rinse, package, and sterilize daily. Time is money and I have spent way too many hours in the back of tattoo shops doing just that when I could have been enjoying time with my family.  My clients see that these tubes I take out of the package in front of them are new, sterilized, and single use only.

 I have been using these type tubes for six years now and I will never go back to the reusable type. I also shot a photo of my work station setup, disposable sterilized tattoo tubes and some dragonfly machines I am currently using for liner and shader.

LION TATTOO BY DAVE KNOX FAIRBANKS ALASKA 260-223-3773

Next is Chenoa's statement of Faith tattoo, she called and I had drawn up the design while she was on  the way to shop.

THE PERFECT CROSS TATTOO BY DAVE KNOX FAIRBANKS ALASKA 260-223-3773

Met this nice young guy Robert that came into the shop to see me about his first tattoo. After doing much Google research he decided that I was the most experienced artist in Fairbanks to do his cross tattoo. This happened immediately after I was ordered by the shop owners that my little wooden cross was NOT welcome on the front door of the tattoo shop I am overlooking. Hmmmmm. Being able to serve a fellow christian I drew up this design for him and we came to a agreement on price. After getting tattoo done I decided that this was one of my finest cross tattoos ever! God blessed me with another new friend in Christ that has the heart to serve others. Thank-you Lord for the chance to witness the
power of your holy spirit!
