anyone familiar with this machine?

Well it sure lives up to its name, paying £350 for a machine with no reputation will certainly leave you feeling the sting!

I'm thinking this machine belongs in your Shitbox

I agree but the thread needs to stay to save people from getting stung

hey thats the whole point. people will post things here and get the feedback to help them make a decision.nothing wrong with that at all. your post was detailed and specific and probably a great help to someone. (i never had an intentions of buying the machine, just posting it to see what everyone thought of it)

Noticed today some of the stingers had been reduced to £249....obviously not selling very well.

Not surprising-any tattooer with any knowledge wouldn't have one given, to hell with the price reduction. You've only to study the pictures as Gaston has pointed out.

I've kept an eye on this, it seems not a single one has been sold, it's going to be renamed "The Stinker"- TO THE SHIT BOX WITH THEE!

we have one on ebay now
http://cgi.ebay.com/Stinger-Rotary-T...item19c628108b
for only $400 and change BUT at least its 2 for the price of 1 since you get a 2 of everything
and after i read Gastons review i cant believe theyre using needle bars to adjust the stroke of the machine although it gives a good idea for if one breaks on a good machine and need something for a quick fix til you get REAL PARTS! lol

Hi guys, im new to the site but know many artist up here, i have to say that by far the most amazing machine The Stinger "rotary" that i have worked with so far< this weekend at the Doncaster UK tattoo expo, i was walking around and spotted the creators of this machine, and asked to try it, and after feeling the hit and strokes of the machine, i was blown away with the potential that this machine has, i have just invested about 2500EUROS in Stigma and to say the least, they dont come even close to this machine! beside the fact of being Esthetically nice. while working this weekend with my Fly, the engine desided to blow up, in the midle of a 8 hour tattoo!!!.......i was so pissed, but had to finish it. all Rotary's machines out here work under the same principal. but by far non can achieve the soft hit of a good tuned coil machine. i am currently investigating if they are Chinese made or if they are made as they say they are from this guy names NedZ form UK, motors and parts. i will post more information as i get them!!

There are two companies boasting a "stinger" machine currently. One is junk normally sold on ebay and the other looked a little more promising.
