Tattoo gun. Wash up after handling it.

Thanks, we did, but I went ahead and disinfected all the things!

Tattoo gun

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Tattoo machine to be more accurate. Professional artists hate when it's called a "gun". It can have negative connotations.

Since nobody else has responded: it's a tattoo gun.

Just because all the other posts aren't clear, OP: that's a tattoo gun you've got there.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

OP. I know that no one else has properly explained, but you are holding a tattoo gun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It could also possibly be a tattoo gun

Astrolabe.

... would be a good tattoo someone could get from that.
