has anyone gotten the new Shagbuilt d20 ??????

That is AWESOME! It's my next machine to buy.

waiting on one right now. Kinda cool he will build it for you however you want it to look. I asked him to make it look as antique and crusty as he can(cant wait to see what it looks like). I use my blitz from time to time for bold outlines on difficult skin and i love it. I'm hoping the d20 has a new feel to it and that i can make it one of my daily workhorses. If not i will still be more than happy to have one of these machines either way.

that is a realy nice lookin machine flaco!

at the very least it does look lighter than the Blitz and a little more weight forward so it would be that little bit more user friendly.

I picked up a D20 at the Austin Convention this weekend. It is my 1st rotary. I did a small tattoo with it today. I was hoping...some of you with more rotary experience esp with the D20 can take some of the guess work out for me. I pretty much experimented with voltages from 6.6 up to 8. The shading went in OK...a little more trauma than I like. I felt I had the needle depth good (maybe even a hair shallow) and I felt my pressure was right in there. Where should I be seeing the best dark shading, light shading and color packing voltage wise? I know its different with everybody...
I wont be using it for a liner until I am more than comfortable with shading and coloring.

I was using an Eikon 7mag in a stainless tube with 3 Eikon rubber bands (3 was more quiet than 2)

I wish I would have taken a picture but I was frustrated knowing that i would have done a "better" tattoo with my coil machines...
Thanks for ANY help Gents.
