This is a walker style tattoo machine frame fabricated by Firehorse Irons, which I engraved and inlayed with Argentium Silver. The finish is chemical blued and brushed.
(edit: updated the photo to a better resolution)

UPDATE:
This machine frame has been sold, but if you are interested in a custom frame like it, send me a note and we can work out a deal.

UPDATE II:
Thanks for the Daily Deviation and thanks for all the great comments! For those wondering what this thingy is, its the frame for a tattoo machine. Its like the chassis on a car. You put all the parts inside and it drives the needle that makes tattoos. If you look through my album you can see a machine built up.

Daily Deviation

Given 2012-08-22
Roses Tattoo Machine Frame by ~Reklaw280 is a wonderful example of metal engraving. It's even more impressive because it was all engraved by hand only with basic tools, the patience and detail achieved are stunning. ( Suggested by ~Okadvent and Featured by `Talty )

That's pretty awesome. Ever since I saw Aaron Cain's and Todd Hlavaty's custom engraved machines, I've always wanted to try it. What did you use to engrave it?

It was in fallowing Aaron Cain's footsteps that I figured out engraving. I started out thinking that I was going to do a bunch of biomechanical machines, but as I got further into studying the art and design of engraving that I was entranced by the scroll. The spiral scroll is the basis for not only scrollwork, but you can see it in a lot of Mr. Cain's biomechanical work. I use a hand engraver to cut these designs into mild steel or brass. There are in-progress shots in my gallery of various techniques.

Perhaps you should consider doing a few pistol grips- I could see a femme fatale shooting from the hip with a gun with roses.
