Machine profiles
Each machine page starts with public specs: stroke, power format, weight, price range, seller availability, and source notes when we can verify them.

Data
What We Are Building
Tattoo Machine Index is a public database of tattoo machine specs, seller records, reported issue notes, and exact-model creator video evidence. The goal is simple: make it easier to check what is known about a machine before comparing or buying it.
This is not a lab-test archive. Unless a page is clearly marked hands-on tested, it is a data profile built from public sources and ongoing corrections.

The Data We Maintain
Records are organized around what a buyer or researcher needs to check: the machine, where the information came from, what public issue reports exist, and whether there are useful exact-model videos.
Brands and sellers
We track manufacturer pages, official stores, resellers, and marketplace listings so readers can see where a machine appears and what the public listing says.
41 brands435 seller listings
Reported issues
Issue pages summarize public reports such as battery, motor, charging, warranty, or ergonomics complaints. They are research notes, not defect-rate claims.
496 issue notes213 tied to source records
Creator video evidence
We attach creator videos when the exact machine match is clear. General demos and adjacent models can be useful, but they stay separate from exact evidence.

How Records Change
The database changes when a better source appears, a listing moves, a spec conflict is found, or someone sends a correction. We keep the page language cautious when evidence is thin.
Prefer official pages, manuals, source-backed seller listings, and exact-model creator video evidence.
Keep public issue reports as summarized research notes, not verified defect rates.
Separate exact-model evidence from adjacent-model demos or broad brand mentions.
Update pages when source records improve, conflict, or become outdated.
Where the Data Is Used
The same records power the public index, comparison pages, best lists, reported issue pages, video pages, and guides. The wording may change by page, but the underlying records should stay consistent.
300 comparison pages
Compare similar machines
Static comparison pages put specs, sellers, issue notes, and creator video evidence side by side.
Best lists
Build buying shortlists
Best pages use the same records, with a clear line between public data profiles and hands-on testing.
20 guides
Explain buying questions
Guides pull from the machine index instead of repeating generic tattoo machine advice.
Help Improve the Records
Send missing specs, official links, seller listings, exact-model videos, or corrections when a page looks outdated. The useful detail is the source, not just the claim.
