[slicksteel]

[joelhague]

can you post some more pics of different angles , looking forward to your review on it , its on my christmas list :P

[Killum]

I know he's building now and they are for sale. Last time I talked to time he said he that he had some more for sale. Go to his Facebook Clark tattoo machines and message him. Very nice guy.

[GregM]

ive seen the short video he has on youtube of him with explaining and showing it..very impressive stuff!

[Killum]

So I have been tweeking with this thing and it's a scary hard hitting rotary! But you can soften up the hit alot. First I tried it on some lettering on the arm and it put in a very clean line but with it being so different I was nervous to continue with the rest. So now I have it set up for soft shading and ran it on my shin bone with a&d and green soap and it
was very soft I felt more soft impact than sharp stinging. I need to mess with the settings more before actually doing a piece with it.

[Killum]

So I called John a few days ago and talked about how the adjustments work and what volts the machine runs at. So I set up a 13mag and started to adjust it. Next day go into work and it's slow so I asked my homie if I could try it out on him he has some traditional on his arm and flames that needed to be colored in so we bang in a small area with this rotary and it is the best machine I have ever used for color hands down! It feels awesome in the hand weight was not a issue. I used a 7mag, Fusion ink, and ran it at 7.6 volts. I feel this rotary can do it all and is 1000 times better than my whip. this machine can color pack and blend with great results very quickly. Out of 10 stars I give it 15 stars for color work. It's that bad ass! here's a pic of the section we worked on today.14877

ill be sure and try mine for some shading, i used it for heavy line work. but since it easy to soften/harden the hit i can go ahead and alternate it as a liner.shader...looks good killum...

Im sure you'll like it for color/shading. Will be buying another one end of January!

It's no surprise that Johns' machine is a winner, he is a master builder who leaves no stones unturned.

I love mine fore loose 9 lining. Fast as shit and hit is solid as fuck. Its one of those machines you can get to do anything if youre willing to take some time and play with the adjustments. Its defiantly not a change on the fly kinda thing. At least not on the one I got, #5.

Your right. It took me almost 2 weeks of fuckin with it before I felt comfortable. Has anyone else tried this machine other than a liner?

[Bobby Tinker]

How heavy is it? Id love to try it, such a innovative idea!!!!

[QUOTE=Bobby Tinker;62904]How heavy is it? Id love to try it, such a innovative idea!!!!

Not sure? Weight is not a problem for me. It's machined out of aluminum so it can't be that heavy.

[jonpiper]

Looks so sweet! Can't wait to try one out myself!!

[feedtheworm]

I just ordered one of these. I'm very excited.

About 6.6 oz

Used mine today, tuned it for a color packer and it is a great running machine. Think I have a new favorite.

I use mine for color packing and blending @ 7-7.6 volts. What volts are you use it for color?

[John]

About 6-7.5 volts, I used it today just a little over 6 volts for color blending/solid color. (13 mag)

[feedtheworm]

I got mine today. I played around with settings for a bit until it felt good. When I set it up with a tube, needle, and rubber band it didn't run very well anymore.
I imagine I'll have to make the adjustments with a load on it.
Any tips from others who have already done this? Do I need a different size rubberband or is there a good way to make a standard size work?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Johnny

[evlink2006]

I use 3 bands, standard size I use on everything. You should always adjust a machine under load. This thing just takes some playing with to get it to where it feels right for you. But once its there its a beast.

I run mine at 10 volts for big group lining.

[Killum]

Alright guys here is two pieces I did with Johns machine.

Nice work, good, solid, no nonsense tattooing.

[Killum]

Right on! thanks for the kind words.

[flatline]

I'm just now seeing this. Wow, what an inventor. Has it all in one piece. hit length stroke, and done with energy. I wonder if the magnets remain consistent over time? Would like to see a lighter, easier adjustable version with it though. Something on the fly. I hope he makes his money for laying down a new foundation like this.

[flatline]

Very nice tatoo's to Killum.

Thanks!

[mikebeecherart]

So awesome.

[f3lix]

have anybody used it for dotwork? or would anybody recommend it for dot work?

[artoftatt2]

Yes and yes for everything as long as you know how to tune the machine.. I've used it for lining all the way to bng

[f3lix]

thanks for the info

[feedtheworm]

I've been using mine for everything. It is (with out a doubt) the best machine I've ever used.
