Welcome! Color packing with rotories...for me it was just a matter of slowing my hand and using smaller more intentional movements. Could also be that you're using a cheapy knockoff, just like a crappy coil they tattoo like shit and are lots of trouble. Not worth the parts they're made from, that neotat should be a waaaaay better.

Welcome, and watch the switch to a better rotary be night and day.

ya im stoked like a little kid before christmas lol. ya i noticed i had to slow my hand speed down a little. i got a cheap one to give them another try before i spent 300 + bucks. and i noticed even with the cheap rotary i got "its a linear movement one " i tattoo diffrent in a good way they are alot more percise and i seam to focus more on the tattoo vs my machines. i also have some of them t-tech grips on the way i think that is going to same me so much time on larger tattoos. i have been looking around the forum lots of usefull info im new to the rotarys but if any one has any question on coil machines i know lots lol.

[chris higgins]
