Centri Machines

[Inkslingers]

"I could really care less about the average tattooer in a street shop,"
Nice inkslingers...sounds like in that post you pretty much don't care about anything nor anyone or what their opinions are. Then why join a forum?? Is it not so we ALL can voice our opinion and help each other out? AND to discuss our views of the pros and cons of a product?
I for one have personal reasons I don't use certain machines, but never look down nor rip someone that uses it or gives alot of praise to a machine.
JMHP.
Thanks,
Russ

Here we go again...I swear some of you talk just to talk....but I'll try to be cool and explain my comment, which fyi, you totally misunderstood. Another member made a post (which was deleted) that included a statement that the Centri was not worth $600 because it had yet to be proven by the average tattooer in a street shop...I simply said that I could care less about that, because I've had the opprotunity to check out the Centri and was very impressed with it. As it seems that everyone that has ACTUALLY had one in their hands has been!

If you are refering to me I deleted my posts because as a after thought i realised i was being a little unfair to the builder...i still believe its not worth $600,i still believe its unproven...i still 100% dont think i will buy one...I really think $600 for a machine that has only tickled the balls of the tattoo user world is too much...man the nuema,stigma,neotat werent nothing like that when they were trying for the market.,yeh the builder might be a shit hot tattooist! dont mean hes a engineer or understands what makes a machine work or work for the man in the street....look at the billions of coil frames and coil wrap bullshit....but in the end they all refer to the jenson,p rogers,walker,coleman and many others...others who proved themselves...man i wasnt putting anyone down....just seeing it from my view....So chill a little Russ or pm me to let it all out..

I have been using the Centri in fact two of them for over two months now wouldn't trade them for the world these machines are amazing..... And all this bitching about them being unproven for 600 bucks is a joke..... Heard of stigma 600 plus..... dragonfly 650 when unproven and the hawk 450 plus there needles almost every rotary coming out of Europe is at least 600 don't hear you bitching about them..... This machine is worth every bit of 600 I will have 3new ones in two weeks and the rest of you will be wondering what you missed out on"....... I will be rockin these machines at the Wilkes Barre tattoo convention in Nov. If your in the area come check them out....... You can put a price limit on your tools this is the future of machines.... So get on board or get left behind

I believe the Centri is a great machine...and yep the stigmas are alot of money for a machine that dont seem to last and as ive said in previous posts the stigmas arent proven to be reliable...the dragonfly had lots of testing and yeh it was expensive but from what i found when i looked into them they were tested for a long period before being marketed and i know guys who have been running them for a year plus which to me says the dragofly is proven...I think the hawk has proved itself as long as you forget the dodgey grip and they expensive cartridges...if the hawk didnt have the grip problem(with cleaning and seizing)and the cartridges were cheaper it would be a great machine in my opinion! ive not heard of any problems at the motor end! But lets remember its not $600....I never once said the centri is a crap machine,just in my opinion if it was $500 it would be more of a option for guys who are thinking of trying one...theres alot of tasty great working rotarys out there for $400 or less and they will do the job asked of them....Hey once you guys have run your Centris for a year and alls been well i might buy one....I wasnt bitching...just giving my opinion...which is what i thought this forum was for?...

I also know the rapiers have proven themselves and are running strong after 2 years of inking.
