    So should Aaron Cain quit carving machines? I have a bunch of one offs from him that have a lot more grooves than this.. Their is quite a few reviews on how well this guys machines run.. No reason to critique something when this is a for sale post.. Kinda like shitting on someone trying to sell something..

    Sorry, wasn't intending to shit on anyone..not my cup of tea but I'm not a machine builder, just an artist. Maybe there's good reasons for all that stuff and I just don't know it.

    if you are an artist than you should understand creativity..look at amaonebadesigns..look at special techniques,nicks rotary,dan kubins.all various creativity in machines.along with other machine builders..and the hand i believe is his tag for stating hand made..buy one of his machines it just mite give you a hand job...LMAO.....lol...

    I understand. Again, not trying to shit on it..if it runs well that's all that matters! I consider a machine a tool and what it looks like beyond function is totally unimportant to me..if I bought a circular saw I would not pick the one with gems encrusted on it and if I bought a paintbrush I wouldn't want it looking like a dragon. It's there to do a job, and that's that. Again, this is just my disposition/aspergers talking so forgive me if it sounds harsh..I respect anyone who can build a functioning tattoo machine and my concerns are only practical. Every little dip, divet or crack in a tattoo machine is a chance for bacteria to hide so to me the smoothest most self contained machines are the most appealing. If a mod would like to remove my comments from this thread please go ahead..I didn't mean to threadshit or cause any anger, it's just an opinion.

    I personnally think this is an incredibly beautiful machine, and looks to be for all reasons a solid well designed and running machine. Though I don't yet have one of his machines, any that I've used that are similar in platform and build quality are incredibly smooth workhorses. Sure, compared to a centri or spectra it looks antique but I don't see anything dangerously unnecessary that can't be taken care of with a decent madicide or similar decontaminant shower that is part of a regular breakdown. The surface has texture but is very nicely polished and they dont appear yo be very deep impressions. It's i would safely assume in the top 95% of any average machine in use today as far as artistic expression, cleanliness, performance and simplicity of design. It it a very nice balance and has the look of quality time consuming craftsmanship that is lacking among many things these days. Don't get me wrong, i love cutting edge high tech utilitarian stuff but a machine like this with a solid bit of weight is sometimes the perfect tool for a certain job. The heavier brass armature likely adds force to the stroke. The the hand I believe is a removable tag, or maybe one can use it to wrap around the RCA cord to keep it on anyways it's a very nice machine that would be gracing my stable if I could afford it.
