name is nick and i am from the uk, i have been using Glyn Flew and j carlton, with te odd, Sharpz thrown in, I bought a Neuma Hybrid SS and liked it but hated the set up, and thought that my jun air is best used with the airbrush, but i liked the charicteristics of tattooing with it, so now i have a rotaryworks machine and love it! but the bug to try more is just itching at me.
Been here a while reading up n such, and thought it was time to say Hi!

Welcome to the forum punkangel!

If you haven't already, you could get an electric module for your hybrid although I found that mine really changed the weight distribution. Dale makes some lovely machines and they deliver a great bang for the buck too.

How do Glyns machines perform, they are really reasonably priced.

I have a sudden craving for a set of coils again (hush Gaston!) and he sells his machines at very reasonable prices and they are pretty light to boot.

Cool, that's good to know. I've actually just bought a pulse-matic set up (don't ask) maybe once I've played with that for a while I'll hit Glyn up for some custom machines too.

That's the issue mate I did ditch them... I have to say my rotaries will do anything my coils would but, I feel almost naked without a coil machine or two in the drawer!

Its been eons since I lived in Bristol, I forgot Les insisted it was in St Werburgh's although if it was, it was by a spit only! Is Danny still there or is he long gone? I used to drink with crazy Dave back in the day, although I heard he passed in a bike accident a couple of years ago which is a real shame.
