If one is interested in a machine, one can be made with a radio, but that does not mean there was not a collective culture in tattoo machine selling to try to keep machines in studios.

As for quality, in my experience cleanliness and safety could not be guaranteed in a shop even with the certificates and licenses.

I'd say that the home artists I went to were more paranoid about cleanliness than the certified shops were. And the worst linework I've ever got was at a very reputable shop, and I payed out the nose for it....
