They aren't that small, Hawk cartridges are approx 2 1/2" X 1/2" and the T-Tech are are hair bigger. If things roll around you could get yourself a stainless steel tray to go on top of your box Alie.

Zapp, my coworker now gets his cartridges from t-tech and is VERY pleased with them. He has no issues with quality.

This is realy unbelieable what a big price range is between the hawk and t-tech !
And from the original module you have sometimes ones you have to collect, and then send it back to the builder to replace it !
Its a shame !!!!
I realy cant wait to check it out !

So whats the difference between the hawk and spirit?

I have both machines. The Spirit does the same with big needles as the old one. if i have a big needle around 23 i think, the needle was with the machines. You have to bump the volts up befor its starts, but when you have started it it tattooes with the big needles okay but its a pain in the ass to turn volts up and down when you tattoo.Else i can only see its the design and collor there is the differense, but a good machines in my opinion but i have only tattooed with them a couple of times each. The Hawk snak a little when lining with long stroke , the Spirit i have not notest that but as i say i have only use for short time. The Stroke is more or less the same when eye balling it. Jan LI

The prices are higher on the Cheyenne carts because they had to do alot of R&D first before T-tech. T-tech took it one step further and bounced of there ideas. T-tech are well made and i am sure the cheyenne ones are to.They look to both have certain advantages.
