I like a light machine, lighter the better but with a heavy grip for lining.
a mid weight one around 4-7oz would be great not to heavy or light;)
I personally prefer a little bit of weight when lining, nice and light when shading. Get fancy and have adjustable weight?!
i wish i could actually just tattoo with a real pencil...
Yeh so do I- a pencil has a drag factor. But I work off the tip, and the needle is sort of floating above the skin, with no feedback like a pencil has. Thats why I prefer heavier esp for lining, because heavier has some relationship with surface i'm doing.Quote:

Ligher the better with a rotary... With a coils I need a heavy machine to off set the force of the spring pulling back.
Light as possible with a shader, 4-5 ounces for lining to help keep things smooth and steady...

I'm thinking aluminum frame with a large bronze thumb screw to counterweight the weight forward. As well as different a thick bronze tube vise clamp also bronze to add weight for balance and vibration dampening. Two piece compisition frame with the thumb screw straight out so it's right or lefty.
3.5 -4.5 oz are good weight.
