Yeah I just got my knuckles done.. 4 times until it stayed.
Knuckles are one of the hardest places to be tattooed.

I got the knocker off ebay, JROK pm'd me a link for one .

Fellow KLOV'er   Krajkerjac helped this qbert machine with a control panel and bezel.

Pretty much all I need is side art and front panel art .

Vertex,
Mind my asking where you picked up your parts?
Was it all from the same site or did you have to shop around?
