Ink Machines sells the 'Dragonfly'. Neat little machine - even has a little contraption that keeps your needle in place so that you don't need a rubber band!

They ALSO sell a converter so that you can use rotaries if you own one of the new Eikon power supplies!

I know! There are 'so many' different colors to choose from, you almost want to get them all.... :P Some guys I know who use them really seem to like them.

I've never been this pleased with a tattoo machine before.

Everything feels smooth and solid, it runs great, and everything works as advertised.

Saving up for a 3rd.

So, I'm curious what you guys do to keep the ink from inching up the tube? Are you running them at low volts? Using thicker/thinner inks? I wonder what is making some people have problems with them?

I run between 3 & 6 volts & keep the needle bar tensioner good & tight. I havn't had any problems with the ink runnin' up the needle bar.

Interesting. I really want to try one but have been skeptical due to things other people have been telling me. Maybe I'll put the piggy bank towards one of them next... really want a pink one!

You can't go wrong. It's like comparing horsepower to weight ratio of dirtbikes etc. They weigh 80 grams & have as much or little torque as you want. The adjustability is there. Although I keep mine on the softest setting.
