This is more of a prerelease note than anything...

I have a new drop in system for the Vivace tattoo machines. It will be available in 3.5mm and a larger stroke, and will have a slow motor option. This new system does add some foward weight to the machine, but adds a smoothness and drive that I think artists will find very enjoyable.

Currently I have my 12 artists who test things for me....working with them..... my "control group" to say, plus about 8 others working with them too. The response has been very positive! I have seen stipling and dotting work that will blow you away. have an artist that is doing tight dotted lines, along with amazing shading.....with the same machine. I am very happy with the results!

Some of the artists do contribute to this forum, and may speak up about it.....don't know

Hope to have these soon, maybe by the Arizona Expo in May. Just trying to setup and learn my new 8 axis Tsugami machine.....so I can make the silly parts.
