I have been drawing since I was a kid and have a good many tats. I was thinking of getting a tattoo gun but I have looked all over for one that don't have a foot pedel. Does anyone know of a company that might have something I am looking for.

I'm sure an savy tech could replace the foot switch with a push button one from some place like Radio Shack...check out what they have.

This is going to be totally un-helpful, but see if the patient/client can step on it? I gave my dad a tattoo a few years back and he totally wussed out more times than I would have thought. On second thought, I guess that's a terrible idea. Haha, nothing would ever get done.
If there were some way of having the petal suppressed, like a switch, and it just remained on, then you could flip it back when you wanted it turned off....

3 doctors diagnosed me with hysterical paralysis (weee!), 1 diagnosed an incomplete T7, another T2 and the last (and most accurate) T5. Trampolines are BAD. Sleep is unpredictable. And never kiss strangers. Life has moved on.

Think she's an "executive" artist! she owns the shop rather than applying the art herself, bet she would know about a solution though you're probably right about that!
Impossible only describes a problem that needs viewed from a different perspective

Now this might sound very off topic but my wife sews, she makes quilts. Anyhow i asked her recently how a para could use a machine cos of the foot pedal, she then demonstrated the fancy button gizmo that you press and then a second or two later (to let you get ready) the machine starts.
Some clever person could adapt that idea?

Strap the foot pedal to your chest, position it under the non-dominant arm, activate it by pressing it with the inside of your arm that is stretching the skin.
