Looks realy cool and lightweight i do think that a swashing type motion will prob be they way to go for more a painterly approach.If your into solid oldschool flat type work then a coil or crank style like a stealth would work best as they do tend to beat the ink in. I think evently you will see most artist useing machines like these are high end coil machine like goodys.Customers are demanding more relistic type work that has depth. Tattooers will just adjust the weight factor they want with barrel weight. Lately i been try 1 1/4 size aluminim barrels for shading/fillin, they have the big size & some weight but not to much so you can still move easy but you dont cramp up.
