    Those are beautiful. I love the silver lines on black. He's a good evgraver, Ive done a bit of that and it's not as easy as tattooing lol

    I've never used a stealth so I can't compare. I've read that some people don't like the "mantis" (or whatever its called) but I haven't had any problems with mine. Its true that the adjustment only really changes the needle depth and doesn't really have any thing to do with "give"

    I did this tattoo with the mantis (outline and shading)..its on a girls lower back...

    Beautiful engraving. Did he do something to seal the Mantis so it doesn't oxidize? Well I guess that they are both aluminum. That wouldn't have to be sealed.

    very nice!! quick question fatcash, the mantis machine??, is it as standard as you bought it, i mean did ya replace any parts, or is it straight outta the box? just heard some real mixed reviews, i guess cos of the price really, and others have replaced motors and other components, basically pimped it and are really happy with it. is it me or does it resemble the original bizzare lol??
    if goods on the left, then im sticking to the right
