I think you are right about the r.shaders michael,and about the video don t know,i consider that i still have a lot to learn in both areas, but hey , thanks for the nice words anyway.

I like the no-give rotarys personally...I switched to rotary because i wanted a very consistent machine that didn't need tinkering with. I get exactly that with the neo-tat. I think once you start adding all of the extra features to control hit strength etc. you kind of go back to the whole tinkering approach to get the machine to match your tattooing...which may or may not reinforce any bad habits we've developed over time. The neo-tat has no adjustment other than the voltage on your power unit....this lets me forget about the machine and focus completely on actual technical application of the tattoo...this is a good thing to me...
Hey Joshua, have you used the "Hawk" yet? I've just recently purchased one and I could see you getting the feel for it really fast. Just a thought.
I like machines with no give too. In fact I wish the give wasn't a must these days! lol
You can always reverse the effect and use your skin as give, less hand pressure, more feel for the skin. I think where is when light rotaries come to play. The steadier the machine, the more feel you get for the skin.
This is a general comment not directed to you Josh, there is nothing I can teach you! :D
I have used it once and really like it, I have actually been thinking about trying it again. I take forever to set up. It would be nice to set up so quickly! I just remember the magnums being caught up on the tip guides, Hopefully they have fixed this.Quote:

For the price, the quality difference isn't really obvious at least not where it counts, needles have all looked precise and worked beautifully.Quote:

Ok, now i'm sounding like a salesman, i'm going to shut it now.
Exactly,since i switch to t-tech system i use almost only my Rotary Works ali machine !Quote:

I wonder if I used t tech in say a bishop machine if it run just like the hawk. seems logical.
Don't have a Bishop but the Neotat is pretty similar and you just need to up the voltage a little to compensate for the extra drag/friction caused by the T-Tech system...Quote:

I know the hawk people claim their motor is precisely geared and tuned to run a certain way. If that is true then there would/could be a difference. I'd bargain it's a heck of a slight difference though if at all. Hell it's worth a try, with t-tech you can't lose.
