grrrr cant wait for mine!!!
I tattooed a large skull on my roomate with the first one off the line and the machine lines and graywashes like no ones business. I was amazed how well they prototype runs and performs right out of the cnc. I am enjoying building and blueprinting each one for the individual artist. I am offering both fast and torque motors for the job at hand. liners and gray wash machines with the short stroke are zippy machines and the long stroke color machines are the high torque motors for power, power and more power.
Ready to buy!! I sent you a pic of the one I got today so maybe you can tell me what it is.
Kinda bummed, it was supposed to be a Rapier 2, but no fault to you. I just went by what I was told.

What I received was/is a Rapier 2. After sending the pic earlier it was/is confirmed.
Here's the start of the test piece the rest will be done when its done peeling. It was done Sunday and is already peeling. The machine is so easy on the skin it is crazy.

Not sure if correct place to post but...

Thanks.

Cary - your a legend, I used the treasure chest today, all day and wow it performs even better than my Rapier2. I cant upload the pics till monday, but i finished a backpiece that was lined with a Rapier2 2weeks ago, and its was great, light, well balanced, no bedding in period - perfoms straight away. My Rapier is still a little tight, but the Treasure Chest is perfect already.
I did a Black & Grey session ( 2.5 hours ) using a 9mag and it was perfect - my one and only "complaint" ......... its too quiet, seriously im gonna tape a coil machine sound track to play in the background so the customer knows i'm working behind him ;) no joke he couldn't hear it - but he could feel it ;)
Another guy in the studio who uses Stigmas was so impressed hes gonna order one - and i'm gonna take one more too ;)
Thanks Cary, your hard graft was worth it mate.
here the piece - not great photo and made black and white to loose the redness.
will get more in a few days

It is an evolution of all my machines in one. The performance is perfect and the longevity of the machine should be a long long time. There is'nt any metal on metal wear and the connecting rod is supported on both sides by the piston. I'm having the other 2 needle give springs made for the soft and the hard hit and will be ready next week. I am going to sell a 4 spring set for the artist for $25.00 to cover all 3 gives and a back up return spring to cover all the artists needs.
got mine today Thanks Cary!
