It can happen to anyone. It doesn't matter if you just started engraving. I got "bit" by some unscrupulous Chinese vendor who thought one of my engraved tattoo machines was nice enough to copy. Now that I have been engraving and drawing scrolls for a while, I cringe when I see all the errors in my original piece, but the knock off is just horrible. Even worse is that there is a local tattoo artist that is selling these knockoffs. They're so cheap I almost bought one, just to have a comparison on hand. To add insult to injury, every now and again, I get an email where a friend finds one of these on Ebay and asks if I'm selling it.
