This photo was taken by a friend of mine while at the Tattoo Hollywood convention last year. Said he overheard the builder say it was not for sale but could in fact tattoo with it. Hand made and totally different then any other Rotary machine I have seen before, anyone know who the builder is?

I watched this run in person, the spring is there as a timing spring to keep the armature bar pivoting up and down as the horizontal cam in the back... (i guess you could call it a cam?) drives the bar as it as it spins. confused yet? it even looks confused when it runs. The contact screw is just to keep the spring holding its tension making sure the armature bar snaps back into position. Fun to watch the guy said they have tattooed with it before but it was not for sale just made it cause he could.

Crap, the site that hosted the photo appears to be down. I will look for it elsewhere and post it again, this time as an attachment.

mmmmm i like this its kinda the sam as a swash drive where the circle is thicker at one side than the other so it makes the arm bar go up and down 4/5 mm i bet .. i bet it was amazing to watch ........this is such a cool idea to soften up a rotary .......but why i ask myself a rotary is made to hit hard an perfectly straight why soften it mmmmmmmmmm.....nothing like the solid punch of a rotary machine gives me ................goose bumps
