Tattoo Education

We understand that getting a proper tattoo education is a difficult path. The internet is fraught with a lot of misinformation. This is why we are committed to sharing valuable how to tattoo lessons and tips every now and then on our blog. These posts are usually written by David Hildbrandt and he'll get as much info up there when he isn't doing shop work or doing tats. Every now and then we will feature some how to tattoo training videos that we make or find on the internet. Davey will share his commentary as he always likes to do with each video post.

Tattoo Contests

Every year we have a
tattoo contest or two, last year we did a make your own tattooing video to win $1000. The contestants used Hildbrandt tattoo machines to do a piece of work and we featured the videos on our site. The winner Kat A. Tonic won $1000. There were a total of 4 contestants.

Current Events

The Hildbrandt crew are interested in a variety of interests and we are always open to sharing our opinions or philosophies. These posts are either going to bore the hell out of you or make you think we are a screwed up bunch of dudes. We should warn you that all censors are off in the blog so if you get offended easily, don't read it. Some of our interests include: sex, hockey.. go Canucks!, guns, partying, football, Harley Motorcycles and hot sexy chicks. The Hildbrandt crew can be seen partying it up in the awesome Vancouver nightlife, we work hard and we party hard, life is short, live that shit up. If you happen to run into us when we are out partying, don’t forget to say hi, especially if you are a hot girl that is 5’8” 36C-24-36.

Product Updates

We will be explaining about updates to our products in our blog. Sometimes we do complete revamps of our product line to ensure what we offer is up to date. Every now and then we do complete revamps of our tattoo kits.

David Teran of Kentucky - December 1st, 2010

Comments: “The first tattoo is a cross with wings with the names of 6 Soldiers that died that were in my company in which two of them were my Soldiers. I did this memorial tattoo for one of the Soldiers that was there with them. The virgen tattoo is the start of a sleeve whick is to remember his two children and wife which died in a car accident when he was deployed in iraq in 2006. The next is a pinup of a picture of Kat Von D. The last tattoo is a portrait of my wife which came out very well on my upper left thigh (i love it) and will add more later. These machines are very well built and balanced are easy to manuever with into hard places to reach with little or no wrist or hand fatigue. I definately recommend these machines for everyday work. I know upon redeployment i will be getting me another set so as to start my own collection of Hilbrandt Tattoo Machines. Check my stuff out on www.inkednation.com/trat and i hopefully will be starting up my shop when i return to the states in Kentucky which is my next duty assignment so as to get my name out there in the tattoo community. Thanks again for the great machines, later.”

Kathleen Cupples of Waxhaw, NC - December 1st, 2010

Inspiration: “I like the look of old weathered stone cross’s and your gun’s worked perfect to achieve that look.Then later on I added the Red Dragon in the back ground to finish the look.”

Comments: “I really like the Hildbrandt brand, The guns are lightweight,easy to tune, and run smooth as silk. Ive bought three and are planning to buy more. I recommend Hildbrandt to all my friends.”
