very important! each rotary have their own sound, for example, one rotary can make a sound of a lawnmower and it´s only 70cps for example, and the other at the same volts can be silent and moves at 100 cps, so in ROTARY i think it´s essencial...

17.) What do you think of rotary tattoo machines? Needle cartridges?
what do i think? It´s crack. you start with only one and when you see you are spending a good part of your money to buy more. Hell, i love it!(not the part of spending). never used needle cartridges, here in jungle it´s impossible to find and very difficult to import.

18.) How much would you pay for a tattoo machine that would eliminate the need for several tattoo machines and be adjusted by the push of a button rather than turning a knob or screw?
I don´t believe in santa or easter bunny, there´s no such thing.
