DO you think there might even be a record for that? I just made up something that to me at least sounded ridiculous

[fatcashdaddy]

Thanks for this thread, I got a great big laugh out of it...it is a joke,right?

A tensioner that pushes on the front of the needle bar, would seem to definitely call for only as much as you need to keep it from flying off the armature. Any more and I'd be concerned that it would flex the needle tips off the tube, especially in the case of mags.

its really just common sense, you wouldnt put 10 rubber bands on a coil

I think the issue you are outlining is abuse of tension. Rubber bands will do the same thing if you exceed them.But I agree that no tensioner makes a cleaner machine. Rubber bands are disposables!

He might not be biased but some of his points are 100% subjective; if you are a European tattooist then the Dragonfly spares issue goes out of the window and "shock horror", as posted above you might even find yourself waiting on parts for the Bishop even in the US.

Also if anyone genuinely feels the need to use that much tension, rotary machine or not, they should put all their machines in the trash and go concentrate on something truly important like trying to break the world record for the largest hand rolled booger ...

Bingo!...as for breaking the record for a hand rolled booger, that title belongs to Margret Miller of Benton Indiana...who just last year rolled one with a length of 5.75 inches, and a girth of 7.88. (although it is being contested by other's in the booger rolling world due to suspected steroid use) Margret's daughter Constance seems to coming along rather nicely..and is expected to enter competition at a professional level as early as next year...if this picture of one of her practice runs give an indication of what she can do, the booger rolling world will be turned on it's heels!boogers.jpg
