My top drawer for the year.

It's a pretty wide variety but I do try and use 'em all as much as possible. At the moment, I'm loving the flite, spirit and stylus' the most. I'm done collecting for the rest of the year... maybe.

Bigger picture please!

Sorry. I'm on my phone. Hopefully, this ones better.

[Patrick]

Shit. I'll post a better pic tomorrow.

How you liking the flite so far. Mine only gets used when I need to push 14 round liners.

[Patrick]

Just got it yesterday, asA. Used it on some color detail. 3.5wheel with medium flex bar. 7mag blending was almost effortless! Feels a lot like my spirit, with a bit more oomph. I'll update as soon as I get some more time with it.

Better Pic...

[eric03]

ridiculous collection. how do u even decide what to use?lol. very jelly.

[Patrick]

I try to keep them all in rotation. I feel kind of guilty if any of them sit for too long.
But the flite, stylus and spirit do get used the most.

[Patrick]

And, yes, it is totally ridiculous!
I may have a problem. Luckily, I have a very understanding wife. :)

[punisher]

Lucky, lol

That's too funny...mine never even notices or asks. And lately I've gotten a new coil every 6 months or so via trade or something. I think she just doesn't care enough lol

[Heath]

What do you line with OP?

[bigblaze1006]

Need two towels man two! lol

[Patrick]

Heath, My go to liners are the mini crankers, by far. The stylus H is pretty awesome at lining, as well. I still have my rapier II (which is a fantastic liner) but it doesn't get used as much.

[Patrick]

Thanks, Greg. They are in good hands. I can't say enough good things about Dan's machines.

[Heath]

I just now saw all the responses here. And today I received a 3.5 and a 4.0 mini Cranker. Being a coil liner guy, I feel like I almost need to "adjust" my style some to get used to them...but they are awesome machines so far. (only did 2 small tattoos today with them)

[sacredsouls]

My wife is the same way. Everytime I get a ups delivery she calls me and says did you get another new machine??? How does she know? Lol. Great collection dude. Hoping to get a halo soon.

[Patrick]

Heath, the crankers are a little different than coils. But, when you get used to them, they're very precise and punchy. I think you'll dig 'em!

[asA]

How ya going on not buying anymore machines?

[serial1313]

Haha! I was wondering the same thing.

[Patrick]

Weeeellll.... I did trade a halo for a 3.5 og neotat and an ego. But I haven't "bought" any new ones yet. The inkjecta specific 3 combo looks pretty cool, though...hmm.
Shit! I almost forgot... I did buy a used thunder, as well... But it wasn't new, so it doesn't count.....:)

[Patrick]

Actually, I decided to be brutally honest with myself. I came to the conclusion that, while new toys are always nice, I'd better serve myself and my career by investing more time and money into further educating and developing myself. I'm currently taking painting classes, signed up for 8 seminars at the paradise gathering in September and trying to get my hands on as many DVDs and online tutorials as possible.
We'll see if they make a difference. :)

[asA]

I really wanna do a bunch a seminars at paradise also. We will see if money permits after the baby.

[Patrick]

Sweet! I'd love to hang out a bit. Congratulations again on the new baby!

[joelhague]

Stylus FTW! are they both H or is one S

[joelhague]

True that u want a plug and play rotary that will make you forget about coils for lining alltogether get a mc2

[joelhague]

They also push t tech carts effortlessly at 6v if u wanna crank it super low its the easiest style of machine to bump start hit it anywhere on the top :)

[Patrick]

Hey Joel, I've got one each of the stylus. The H is fantastic for lining and color packing and the S does really nice blending and soft shading. I dig 'em both a lot!

[joelhague]

Awesome bro i had a H traded it but have a brand new one on the way with extra 5mm total grip adjustment for long hang lining :) now i want a S too
