My top drawer for the year.

Thanks, Greg. They are in good hands. I can't say enough good things about Dan's machines.

I just now saw all the responses here. And today I received a 3.5 and a 4.0 mini Cranker. Being a coil liner guy, I feel like I almost need to "adjust" my style some to get used to them...but they are awesome machines so far. (only did 2 small tattoos today with them)

My wife is the same way. Everytime I get a ups delivery she calls me and says did you get another new machine??? How does she know? Lol. Great collection dude. Hoping to get a halo soon.

[Patrick]

Heath, the crankers are a little different than coils. But, when you get used to them, they're very precise and punchy. I think you'll dig 'em!

How ya going on not buying anymore machines?

[serial1313]

Haha! I was wondering the same thing.

[Patrick]

Weeeellll.... I did trade a halo for a 3.5 og neotat and an ego. But I haven't "bought" any new ones yet. The inkjecta specific 3 combo looks pretty cool, though...hmm.
Shit! I almost forgot... I did buy a used thunder, as well... But it wasn't new, so it doesn't count.....

[Patrick]

Actually, I decided to be brutally honest with myself. I came to the conclusion that, while new toys are always nice, I'd better serve myself and my career by investing more time and money into further educating and developing myself. I'm currently taking painting classes, signed up for 8 seminars at the paradise gathering in September and trying to get my hands on as many DVDs and online tutorials as possible.
We'll see if they make a difference.

I really wanna do a bunch a seminars at paradise also. We will see if money permits after the baby.

Sweet! I'd love to hang out a bit. Congratulations again on the new baby!
