Aloha x VK "Turquoise Matrix" (shader)
AVAILABLE NOW! The Aloha x VK "Turquoise Matrix"(shader) A one-of-a-kind full-frame machine made with a hand-cut steel side plate and the newly developed claw vise. This vise will hold onto anything! The frame geometry is designed to accommodate both liner and shader configurations. This machine is set up to be a smooth shader at around 6.5 - 8v. Turn it up and you can really pack it in.
.
This machine features my most popular material, the Turquoise Matrix. It's a turquoise true stone composite material with a brilliant color you just can't beat. The contrast with the hammered steel is beautiful. If you already purchased one of my liners made with this material, then this would be a perfect opportunity for a matching set!

About VK and the collab
As some of you may already know, Mike Mertz has recently passed away. May he rest in peace. He was well known in the industry for his precision tools and Tattoo Machine parts. He has literally been the backbone to many builders around the world and his tools make life easy. Together we made some slight modifications to his original claw base design and will be featuring them on my new full-frame machines. Before his passing, I only received a small batch of 25 bases so the Aloha x VK collaboration run will be extremely limited.
