hello there all rotary fans

i mostly do traditional american art and mix it up with japanese traditional stuff


well thats a little about me

....Paul

Tell us about the machines you are using Paul. Some of the Rotaries are amazing liners, if you get the right one you'll not go back to coils mate.

Yup, I feel like my line work improved and got easier using a rotary especially pushing the big needles.

greetings! i only use them for shading and coloring as well. i've finally got decent linework after almost 5 years and don't wanna mess that up. to be honest i've never seen linework done with a rotary that compares to perfect solid linework with a coil machine especially in traditional work where the linework is bold and obvious...but thats just my opinion. i'm sure it can be done just like when someone with experience puts in a solid tattoo with the shittiest of machines

I like rotarys for fineline ,coils for large scale work.

Welcome to the forum Paul.

well thank you all for the greetings ( excuse my poor english ) .

im now using today an early shagbuilt machines that i got hold on when i was down in denmark for a visit heh .
and i bought my self a stealth machine a couple of years ago . i also had the jackhammer for a while wasnt my cup of tea . ...

and now im buying a machine from dan kubrik i think hes name was a springer machine for peppershading and hard color packing

ive been quite afraid of using a rotary for lining just because i think it must be easier to get blowouts with them ?
and i really like the coil machines for lining , mostly the sound of coil machines sounds like a "tattoo" you know what im saying ?
and ofcourse i really like to have heavy machines my grips are between 35-40 mm thick and wheigs about 280-320 grams . and that wheight + the weight of some of my machines the combined wheight is about 500grams heh . i can even say that im using 9-14 round liners and rs to do my lines hehe .
