Hello everybody!

[Fabio Mendez]

Hello, I'm Fabio Méndez from Santander, small city on the north coast of Spain. Some of you may know me from other forums or social networks, and for the handmade tattoo machines I build. I started tattooing in 1996-97, though I've been more focused on building during the last years and that's what I mainly do now.

I found this forum casually and decided to try it. I haven't checked all sections yet, but I hope to have a good time here, meet a few nice people, and why not, expanding my business.

If interested, you can check my work at my personal website www.fabiomendez.com, my Facebook page, or Instagram.

Cheers everybody!

no, mate, too difficult for me to make damascus, I just buy the billets and work with them.

They're really beautiful, very clever thing to do with machines. I take it the frames are a bit heavier though?

sorry citattooing, I didn't read this before, I didn't receive any notification of your reply.

if you are talking about the damascus machines, yes, they can be slightly heavier, but just a little. All depends on the thickness of the plate, and I like to keep them not too thick.
