The National Stainless Steel Talon machine kit comes with everything you need except for tube, grip and needle bar. Machine kits DO NOT include instructions and should only be purchased by tattooists who are well familiar with the mechanics of a tattoo machine. The Talon frame is stainless steel, NATIONAL is engraved on the frame. A real heavy-duty machine with a swing-gate style tube holding device. Our special thanks to Brian Everett for his help with the cut-back version of this machine.
