    the hawk is great and even better if you are a big name getting grips etc for a better price or even free!...i love the hawk but for the average tattooer working to pay the rent...well it aint user friendly....a great machine let down by the costs that come with it.

    Just wondering...don't you keep your receipts for taxes? As far as the Hawk problem, I ran with one for 8 months or so and never had the problem you're talking about....but I'd need more info on how you're handling it in set up, etc to be of any help
