It is damn pretty! What was the cost on that? 250€? If so I am sure it is worth every cent.

Fancy! Ingenious spring setup, that's the type of innovation that sets a cool machine apart from the copycats.

It kinda is... Thats a good thing to me at least. I always wanted a Swiss thats adjustable... And its built pretty pretty good. The spring system works excellent. Im gonna tattoo with it in an hour from now its set up and ready to go with a 13 mag

Absolutely love it! Its so smooth for colouring and my client told me it doesnt hurt too bad. Im using it with a relatively soft setting the machine can be tuned from super soft shader to hard almost no give hitter.

If the Swiss company would build an adjustable version I would buy it for sure but right now I cant thank Slava enough for this machine its exactley what I wanted in a machine. Lightweight design of my choice and adjustable. I will get another one of this model for sure!

I'm sorry to piss on your bonfire a bit but scratchers have been making these for sum time I found this pic over a year ago and kept it for reference http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k492/albionwolf/b80f40c2.jpg

It has a similar design but maybe it does work really well

-that needle tensioner is pretty clever

Andythetemple

That might be the one . there is so many now it's hard to keep tabs but if I see something different I always keep a pic or mental note pretty clever stuff all the same . I've never used these types of rotary but they look like they should work well in theory .

I will post a full review of the machine soon I think by end of the next week. I used it for lining yesterday it totally blew my mind...

I can't wait to read it.

I took 2 short videos using Slavas machine as a liner hope you guys can get a better idea of the machine in general. A full review will follow soon I have too many new machines Im playing around with at the moment.

It isn't at all, just the way the small condenser microphones work. It is really one of the quietest machines with give. I got to play with it some ( not tattoo with it ) and it is really a genius system. You have to see it in person to fully appreciate how good it is.

Looks cool sweet machine. since posting that pic of the other version with the needle tensioner I've been in contact with an old friend who has the same mods on his on another forum. he bought the parts off a pro from England for £40 which is a pretty good deal considering the savings u would make he said he makes em for most machines of this type stealth , Swiss whatever I'll email the guy see what the story is I'm pretty Interested to give them a try as I have a cheap stealth rotting away could be a good setup like I said I'll see how it goes when I email this guy from England . Will keep everyone posted and find out more about it

I don't think that comparing it to stealth anything is veryfair. Slava builds every part of the machine.

Please do me a favour and open another thread for the Stealth mods I think people might get confused a bit. My thread was meant to give an idea of Slavas machine and like OwlsDen stated already its a handmade machine not a 2$ cheap ass Swiss knockoff.

If you could edit the postings from the tat scratchers forum would be much appreciated also...

Yep thanks for taking time for the post..Can I ask, what size needle grouping were you running.

wildboy
03-28-2012, 05:18 PM
5 round 0.30 textured liner. Thats the needle Im using on almost everything lately

Were you sculpting/building up the Lines.....Nice running Machine,no ink Splutter......It's not other peoples opinions that matter, it's what you do with the Machine, and if you are happy, then all is well, and I think you are very Happy with it....... I think, we all prefer, different machines for different jobs. If I was going to Sculpt Lines, I wouldn't use my Mini Cranker, I would use my Neo-tat..And if I was infilling a large piece, I would grab my RW, or Swash...Each to their own...Once more thanks for the Vids, makes a big difference to see it in action.

No I didnt sculpt the lines. I can say that they were all solid single pass I love the give on this machine but the textured needles are helping a lot too. The give system is perfect for filling in small spots without changing anything.

Youre right everybody has different preferences this one is kinda made for my needs. You can see and feel the time and effort that Slava put in every build. This is the 2nd one I got from him (this is the 1st one http://www.rotarytattoo.com/album.php?albumid=54&attachmentid=5408) and I have a 3rd Swiss inspired one on the way. Slava will make a machine for you any way you want it with a design of your choice. That doesnt even matter to me anymore for the next one I didnt ask for a special design I just want it to be like the one I got.

Im not getting my next machine for 10% less or anything Im just really satisfied with the machines I got from Slava.

Yeah I have ordered one after seeing yours, I asked for a Jensen side wheeler. I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Well to be fair I asked for a jonesy square back and maybe a Swiss too. Can't hurt to have a few machines ^^. I will say that he did mention that he has a lot if orders right now, so I am willing to wait.
