Random but I was curious

Does anyone know what actually happened to Neuma? Are they going to still be in business? Just curious lol. I dont know why I even thought to ask but I noticed there website hasnt changed.

I think the rotary explosion is what happened to Neuma. Rotaries have the same movement, weight, & no need to tune but without an air regulator & compressor to buy to make them work. That was the dis-avantage that I saw when they came out. When they came out, I had coil machines that did the same job already. If I wanted to get a Neuma set up I would be out @ least $1,000 & for machines that didn't really have any real advantages to a coil as far as a finished tattoo. They didn't make you tattoo better, they were just a different road to get to the same place. Rotaries on the other hand run the same power supply that you run coils on.

yeah i know, I remeber when they first came out, i was lucky enough to grap a prototype off them. Just was going through some older photos and thought ((hmmm, whatever happened to there machines)) lol. I would however like to see some new innovations if they decided to come back on the market.

I would just think that it would be an added pain in the ass for you to have to start messing w/ hoses & a compressor again.

oh yeah i know. haha I wasnt talking about the compressed air machines. just machines in general lol

although with the hybrid you can get an electric motor which clips on the back, still lighter than coils and works almost the same as the air. its a magnet moving the prop inside rather than air. pretty cool but in terms of marketing it was slightly too late, the rotary explosion kinda dampened it.
