Ok, funny to me that these machines are of interest. As I seek out "tattoo machines". Most of these PM machines are limited in needle options to the artist. Most use a 1.3.5.7 round and maybe a 5 or 9 mag, and a couple flat options.
The posts form Slickstee reference a Chinese replica of a Noveau Contour machine and another handpiece by Nov. called a Simplicity.
The needle cartridges are about $10-$15 each. The German made machines are anywhere form $1500-$4,000!!! Permanent Makeup artists pay a lot for the "price of beauty".
Here's the interesting part: MT. Derm who makes the Cheyenne Hawk, Spirit and Thunder$$, also makes the Noveau Contour permanent makeup machine $$$$$.
Both accept cartridges and are adjustable for needle length with a twist.. Speed is adjusted with power supply.($350 verses $3000)
I can use my Nov. Cont. handpiece in my Cheyenne power supply but not vice versa. And of course China makes the cartridges, machines etc. at a fraction but you do suffer some quality. (if you know what your looking for and scrutinize needles).
