Well again it's all opinion. I expected a lot more of a consistent machine. I did some solid work with when it worked well. I really liked it for bng. But when I buy a tattoo machine im thinking terms of a daily driver something I'll always want to pick up. It just wasn't my thing. As far as tattooing circles around Micky sharpz.... I doubt it. Those are the Most consistent "acting" machines I've bought other than my neo tat, stylus and the hawk I got. It's hard to feel good about a 600$ machine you don't want to pick up cause you never know how it's going to act. But I'm glad you like it and wish the builder the best
