I just signed up and I know next to nothing about rotary machines.
I've been tattooing and building coil machines for about twenty years. In recent history I've realized that rotaries have come a long way and I'm getting more and more interested.
The Swash Drive was the first to peak my interest but I never got around to trying one. The Stigma Hyper also caught my attention but it always seems to be out of stock.

The Tattooed Pirate Rapier machines have recently sparked a new interest and that guy seems to be on the ball. He is answering my questions promptly and I'm getting close to trying one out. It's a big move for a 20 year Tattooer/(coil) machine builder.

I'm looking forward to hearing input from the rest of you.
