got one of these earlier this week, haven't stopped using it since! I've got/tried tons of rotaries, always ended up goin back to the gen 7, but this one as now taken top spot! Interestingly enough, I used it on my buddies stomach the other day, and just for comparsion used my gen 7 with the same size needle, on the same area, to compare the feeling, he found this machine much easier on him then the gen 7. Highly recomended. I'll post a pic of that tattoo in the tattoos done with rotaries section soon. I was shocked by how tiny and compact it was in person too, the pic doesn't do the tiny size any justice. ALso has a good "proper tattoo machine" weight to it, which is ideal for us traditional guys.
