I have a medium stroke model arriving tomorrow (hopefully) so i'll spend a couple of days with it and get back to you with a review next week.

Oh good, I look forward to hearing about it. Although I wouldnt hesitate in buying any HM machine should I need another one.

So far so good for this little beauty! I went for the medium stroke model - 3.4mm, pretty good allrounder machine that came with an RCA cable. It's one of my smallest machines. Definitely the smallest linear machine i own. I've used it to pack and shade and it does both admirably. At £260 you can't go wrong!

Smaller than a dragonfly?

Dragonflys are probably bigger as they have the give screw at the back and the tube vice sticks up a little. The Invictus is more compact like a mini Neo Tat

yeah i reckon. It's a really nice machine all round. Light, quiet, powerful, reasonably priced. I'll be buying another for sure

It sounds as though it behaves like my La Santa Maria regarding noise and vibration, pretty much none at all. I only buy new machines when I need one (I'm far too tight to be a machine junky) but it's going to be another HM machine when I do. I have 3 and use them every day so can't recommend them enough.
I wonder if these have a slight "dampening" like the Santa Maria because I can't fault that machine.

I've just got the 3.4mm version, had a quick go with it to put some solid colour in, impressed so far. I'll be using it for 2 full day sessions today and tomorrow so I'll know more after then.

I just received a few machines from Roman I'm going to be trying out... The Invictus is a 3.4 and I'm going to see how it is for everything.

Ok so have used this 3.4mm machine on two large tattoos with a standard 9 mag, found it works best for me at 9.5-10v and did everything with it, solid black, soft black and grey, bit of colour shading, a few lines with a tight 7. It does everything as I expected it would. It's tiny, low vibration and noise but solid as fuck. Another great HM rotary.

Bottom half of this was all done with the 3.4mm version. Can't fault this machine really.
