Machine weights?

Yeah those are a good option too, I bought some of those to counter how light the treasure is. I don't use them often but they feel like chrome plated cast iron.

Yes ,we joked about how if you didn't like them ,take a 12" section of rubber hose stuff the grip into one end ,and you have a lethal blackjack.

I made grips for years.....had one turning center devoted to only making grips day in and day out. ....back in the day of making supplies for one of the big companies.

When they first came to me wanting the 1 inch and bigger grips, my comment at the time to them was...."so are these things for the tattoo artist to deal with customers who won't pay their bill? Just wack em over the head!" I did, and got a chuckle from the GM.

So, you too like whittling in metal?

Hey Ray...just send them to me...I'll carve them up all fancy

[Amoebadesigns]

It's what I do...check out my machines...I carve almost anything I can carve on them, all one offs. It's therapy for me.

well ray I like the weight of the neo tat and it does feel solid. haven't used the new one yet so when I get one I will let you know!!

I think weight is personal preference, but I have a machine that is too light for me if I use my disposables it does feel like I have to push . I'm still getting used to the lightness of the rotary, compared to coils. The rotary machines are easier on my wrist , but when I'm lining I prefer a heavier machine, vs. The lighter the better if I am coloring or shading. The shape of the machine means more to me. This last machine that I'm getting rid of the only reason I'm parting with a this because of the shape. It sits ackward when I'm trying to turn my tube to get to certain areas of the tattoo. I prefer the tighter shaped machines ie. Neotat, rapier 2 , Swiss to the elongated ones that barely can even be bagged.

Hey that would look slick for sure! carved up brass would be sure to attract coil lovers.

Cable company working on the fiber and we may not have service....any time.

I think the original neotatt with disposable tubes feels the best.
