ego is the first non coil machine I have ever used for black and grey that works really well for me. i like a solid black rubber on bottom to represent it hitting a coil top and the really soft yellow for the backing off u get on a coil, all at 8.5v, all other give roteries just dont quiet get it right for me.

Love my new ego... But it is noisy! I have been totally spoiled by neotats for the last 18 months..

just wanted to post my experience on the ego. yes i decided to get it soon after i posted this post. overall, it could b that i wanted it for so long, but i really can't find a problem with this machine. all the issues ppl stated about it just doesn't bother me. the noise, the nipple bar popping out with every needle change,the vice,etc. just don't bother me. the power of this lil machine is great. everyone of us tattoos in our own way. so what works for one person may not work for another. so theres no reason to say a machine sucks out right. it just may suck for u n the way u tattoo. I've learned that i gotta b the overall decision maker of a machine but I'm still interested n curious about the general opinions of others. i personally like a hard hitting machine. so i have been using the blue and red color configuration. i mainly use it for color. i have tried to use it for lining but for me, the rca in the back makes it a lil off center n difficult for me to get a clean line. i still use my swahdrives for lining n have yet found a machine to take its place. anyone who has a nicks machine, the power is similar to his machines. both great machines i find for color packing. the price is right and ordering from tattoomachinesnow.com was a great experience. they even did a follow up to see how i liked the machine n asked to send them pics of tattoos i have done with it to post on their site. really good customer service. plus, u can never beat free shipping. so, the ego is a great purchase n a great addition to any collection, in my opinion.

in comparison to the neo tat fluffs tattoos, i can totally understand on that opinion. those machines are literally silent. still in comparison to coils, every rotary is silent.haha. in my shop when two ppl are using their coils that sound like they are tattooing a rock, i can't even hear my customer talk let alone my machine.haha
