Has anyone tried the Invictus HM micro slider?
I have a medium stroke model arriving tomorrow (hopefully) so i'll spend a couple of days with it and get back to you with a review next week.
Oh good, I look forward to hearing about it. Although I wouldnt hesitate in buying any HM machine should I need another one.
yeah they're probably one of the most reliable companys out there and there customer service is awesome tooQuote:

Definitely the smallest linear machine i own. I've used it to pack and shade and it does both admirably. At £260 you can't go wrong!
Smaller than a dragonfly?
Dragonflys are probably bigger as they have the give screw at the back and the tube vice sticks up a little. The Invictus is more compact like a mini Neo Tat
is it as quiet as a neotat ?Quote:

I wonder if these have a slight "dampening" like the Santa Maria because I can't fault that machine.
Any stateside yet?
I've just got the 3.4mm version, had a quick go with it to put some solid colour in, impressed so far. I'll be using it for 2 full day sessions today and tomorrow so I'll know more after then.
I just received a few machines from Roman I'm going to be trying out... The Invictus is a 3.4 and I'm going to see how it is for everything.

Ok so have used this 3.4mm machine on two large tattoos with a standard 9 mag, found it works best for me at 9.5-10v and did everything with it, solid black, soft black and grey, bit of colour shading, a few lines with a tight 7. It does everything as I expected it would. It's tiny, low vibration and noise but solid as fuck. Another great HM rotary.
Bottom half of this was all done with the 3.4mm version. Can't fault this machine really.
