    Gaston, fk irons, spektra halo.. Enough said

    How good are these machines...

    i was always interested in fk irons but never invested in any before,
    anyway 2 weeks ago i purchased a 2.5 spektra halo off zapp (great transaction) and then got a 4mm motor too, and then 4 days after that a 2nd spektra off zapp also, and now getting a pyro liner and galaxy shader... Im considering selling everything else and just having fk machine they have suited my tattooing so well and i am super happy with the halos cant wait to try the coils.. And i dont own a coil at the moment so fk will be the only coils too.. Great job everyone at fk irons and great job gaston

    Honestly, if I was a total rotary user only.. I wouldn't even waste my time with coils... what's the point. . .

    The point is they can be set to run different and do different types of work. Just one more tool to add to the arsenal. Also some customers like the feel of one over the other and the way the work tends to look.

    i have ran the obstacle course for rotaries and lining...probably tried out 15-20 different ones....i have decided to go back to coils for lining

    yes....i have been so impressed with the customer service on my halos that when i went to pick up a coil for lining it could only be an fkirons.....

    for color and black and grey work....a solid rotary just cant be beat

    have you ever seen those electric sport cars that run as fast as a muscle car ,have high torque as a muscle car, run smoother and with no vibrations as a muscle car and dont produce the noise that muscle cars do?i bet you did.thats how i can compare a rotary and a coil machine.i want to see in my garage both cars and drive them at any chance

    sometimes I just miss the feel and sound of a coil. I had a customer three days ago insist I use a coil, "because the sound is therapeutic" she said. I didn't mind though it was cool running them again
