Ok so, my lod lost full stroke during a tattoo the other week... I hit up dmitry and after a bit of talking back and forth he sent me a full replacement. It should be here any day. I was a little concerned getting this machine and having it break and just being out of luck getting it repaired, but dmitry is a stand up guy and backs his product. After being out my lod for almost 3 weeks now I've been bouncing around using different machines stylus, thunder/spirit/hawk, flite and even my hyper v3 a bit... Alls I can is I miss my lod and I can't wait to get it back. It's hands down the most versatile machine out. Suits the way I tattoo perfect.
