Couple of New Dudes in the Hood...

[skinmech]

Been a busy week, buying and trading, so here is my latest line up....HM Santamaria-2.5mm Stroke.....Peter Tieg-4mm Stroke.....Hyper V2, adj Stroke.....Cranker 4mm adj Stroke....NeoTat 3.5 mm Stroke....Bazooka 4mm+ Stroke....and my trusty Zeiss-5mm Stroke...I will be running the HM, the Peter Tieg and the Hyper for the next few days, so expect, some reviews soon...P.;)9616

[Baldrick]

You not had a hyper before? Very good machine I dunno if it's because it's a swash system but I find it's packs colour as good if not better than any rotary I've got ;)
I'll look forward to your reviews as always

[Sinnersink]

Looking forward to it bro.

[Sage Oz]

May that's an amazing arsenal. Soooo jealous, I gotta buy more machines....

[Zapp]

Great! If you get rid of the cranker,i will take it :-)

[stickboie]

hows that Bazooka?

[skinmech]

hows that Bazooka?

Ahem http://www.rotarytattoo.com/showthread.php/4130-Dino-Cassarin-quot-Bazooka-quot-..Review...?highlight=bazooka

[aurelien]

I actually dreamt about this neotat and a santamaria last night. My pants were dry in the morning, but still a good dream.

[skinmech]

Well if the Santamaria, the NeoTat and a Hard Hitting Coil had a 3 Way, and they were all piping Rock, the result would be the Bazooka...

[The Limey]

Bugger the new dudes, I'm still coveting that funky lil Zeis ;)

[Sage Oz]

I'm really intrigued by the sound of bazooka, I like me a hard hitting kick ass machine. I can use a light touch and move around pretty quick with them. They work well on flabby trouble spots that are difficult to stretch on some people. I looked at his Facebook page and saw nothing about the machines, where did you order yours from and if I can ask how much did it cost?

Handspeed, volts and technique are your only friends, ;), so sounds like it would work well for you Sage...Got mine in a trade with throwhammers..

This might be a rotary forum but that brings a smile to my face!

The Tieg is a banging liner! In fact its a damned good all rounder too.

[skinmech]

I am doing the same as I done with my Coils, I check to see what a Rotary does best for me, ie Line, shade, pack or B&G. Then I keep it for that purpose, I prefer Machines dedicated to one task, rather than adjusting set-up whilst tattooing, don't get me wrong, I will Shade and Pack with some Machines, but others are one task only....I class them in 3 groups..Liners, Colour and B&G. Colour is the largest group, as it includes all aspects, Shading, Blending, Saturation or Packing, and I find most adjustable Rotaries can carry out most of these tasks,but, some of the more Punchier Rotaries with no-give, make the best Saturation or Packing Machines...Shit I sound so Anal...:o

Dude I follow the exact same guidelines... I find that if it can line it can probably do everything else pretty well, but yeah it's about finding the right machine for each use for your technique. That said I find most rotaries are a lot more versatile and user friendly than coils, and definitely more idiot-proof. It took a looooong time to understand what little I know about coils ;)

I found a vendor for the bazookas in Italy, 350€ + delivery. Not too bad a deal, looks like this might be next in line for me after I buy my next machine: a green centri that Mike is saving for me :D

Using a Centri is a real learning curve, one that you should enjoy, the physics of the machine is quite different.

[skinmech]

Yeah, I need a Centri, and a Spektra, and about 10 others in my sights,LOL

I like that machine Paul-very smooth little buzzer. Who made it?

[skinmech]

It was built for the 2009 Baltimore Convention, by Pittsburgh Builder Andrew Holmes. I bought it direct from Andrew in June 2011, where it had sat in a Drawer as he had forgot about it. Has a nice bit of history about it, and Mr Holmes builds some crazy Machines, think John Clark, and you are in the right direction, :)

[tugg]

Do they make a hyper with adjustable stroke or are we talking give.

[asA]

Yeah, I need a Centri, and a Spektra, and about 10 others in my sights,LOL haha only 10.... Sheesh too many cool machines and builders out there... It never ends the list of machines to get.

[aurelien]

@ Tugg it's give.
Yeah 10 sounds optimistic lol I keep trying new stuff thinking "woaw that's great at least now I don't have to worry about machines as I just found my new daily" ... 15 minutes later " gosh I'd like to try that one too"

[Sage Oz]

Yeah I could easily pick another 10 machines I don't have. And for the Spektra, the whole point is to have at least 2 :D

[skinmech]

I have a few surprises, in the forthcoming reviews.....I was blown away, with the versatility of the Hyper, and the (controllable) power of both the Roman HM, and the Peter Tieg. Also found a new use for the Bazooka...
