Here is a video for now on the Centri and its funtions.

Watched the video, ...it's actually a little "deceiving" (not sure if that's the right word?), anyway...looking at the video you might get the feeling that the Centri hits too light, but it's not like that. The machine has a punch! I got something from Lyle Tuttle about machines..."a good machine should throw ink in the skin". That's what you're doing with the Centri, but without the trauma.

Well so far every machine that has been on a plane has arrived with a studder. With the help of our clients, together we discovered it has to be the extreme enviroment it travels through to its destination that is causing this issue as i singled out every other possibility. In the video i talk about running and loosining the internal components for a while if the machine has been sitting for a while. Specially over a week, like it does going over seas. So in the video i show you how to apply a oil to it. That is your answer to this issue. It solved every one of them. I must say that was a right hook i didnt see coming, But im glad we have found the issue, the reason, and the solution so i can focus on eliminating this factor all together. I wonder if any other types of machines from others builders have had simular issues do to this reason.

Growing pains, it happens. Glad you got these bugs addressed and worked out

Yes it was a important discovery, More positive then negative because now they are running much better at a lower voltage.

Simply raise or lower your voltage.

Got my first "complaint" about work that was done with the Centri yesterday...several months ago I started a tattoo(s) going up the backs of this chicks legs. This was my first time doing a tattoo on this woman. We did a session on Saturday, nothing major...just the building of some dark tones off the line work I had done in the first session, getting it ready for some color. So a few days ago I get a call from her saying that she was going to stop in and have me look at the tattoo because she thought it was healing "funky". As she was telling me this my heart starts racing...what the fuck? You could hear how apprehensive she was in her voice. I didn't even want to ask what she meant! Thought back to doing the tattoo and the work I had done? Everything seemed to have gone in sweet, smooth as glass when she left, but all I could think about was new machine just maybe there was something to this? I remembered hanging out a little more needle then I normally do, I had flew through session..REALLY pushing the amount of layers compared to what I normally lay in for just shadowing. She comes in yesterday and I pull her back to my room, fearing for the worse...she drops her pants and asks, "is it suppose to be doing this?'....Doing what was my thought? The tattoo was completely healed, not a flake one. Her "complaint" was that the tattoo never flaked, because there were no skin cells coming off the tattoo she was afraid that it was done "wrong". There were a few spots behind her knee that you could see still had some skin cells on the surface, but not even a hint of anything, any where! So after getting over the sudden overwhelming urge to start a game of 20 questions with her about her childhood, "Were you a crack baby?".."been dropped on her head a lot?"...anything that could explain her having an IQ that would have to borderline on the retarded...I just laughed it off and had her schedule another session.
