David here. Only been tattooing a few years; coils all the way. Amateur machine builder (don't sell 'em - just use 'em and give 'em away if they're worth it). I've lately been narrowing down the diversity of my machine functions and have gotten the best results with relatively quick, long throw (4mm) and hard hitting machines for everything. Just started considering simplifying my workstation with fewer all-purpose machines. I'm one of those "five machines for every tattoo" kind of people. Saw another local tattooist switch to the Hawk and she was all about just having one machine and a handful of tips to choose from. So I'm thinking of getting my hands on a versitile rotary and maybe using the T-tech grips and tips with it.

Is there a thread around here to console die-hard coil users that are ever-so-secretly beginning to entertain the use of rotaries and aren't quite ready to tell their families yet?
