As one of Franco Vescovi's biggest inspirations, Gill 'the Drill' Montie has been tattooing longer than most of your favorite artists have been alive. His distinctive style is instantly recognizable - red eyed, grinning skulls - a design that we have featured on the packaging for this Special Edition machine.
Born in 1954, Gill started drawing and drafting designs in 1969 - an artistic career that was put on pause by serving 2 years in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. After his time overseas, Gill started as an apprentice in 1974 under the teaching of Doc Dog and has been tattooing ever since. Gill was also a formative influence on Franco Vescovi, who first met him in the mid 90s. As a legend in the world of tattooing and a coproducer of one of the most important tattooing conventions, the Inkslingers' Ball, he impacted Franco's perception on the industry as a role model of what a genuine tattoo artist should be. Because of this, Franco considers it an honor to be able to look out for the old timers in the industry as they are a small group that is only getting smaller. It is Franco's belief that it is up to us as a community to make sure we protect and provide for them - as such, we are honored to offer this Gill Montie Artist Series Power Wand Advanced.
Each set includes:
Bishop Power Wand Advanced with a unique artist-selected colorway.
2000 mAh Advanced Standard Battery.
Custom startup animation featuring Gill's artwork.
Custom grey and purple Artist Series zip case.
Critical Dual Docking Station.
