More new Rotaries in the pipeline?

[fkirons]

First off, this is not a straight accusation to the people mentioned here, but instead, a general statement.
Here is my take about it:
It's good to see people come out with new stuff. The more options we have the more we get inspired but at the same time, I see a lot of rushed products lately (non of those builders are members of this site!). Like if certain builders have the need to come out with something quick to bank out some dollars out of the hype.

A rotary or coil tattoo machines are just tools.
I love to work with variety. I think rotaries suit very well for certain stuff just like coils do.
Swearing by one machine style only is limiting yourself to other great tools.

Gaston, I have to give you a lot of credit. Rotaries aside its nice to see EVERYTHING new you make. You swim up stream with your ideas and work. I look forward to seeing what you debut in regards to a rotary machine and hope it does function as a good companion to the rest of your lineup. I guess the rushed stuff with many of these companies will all come out in the wash. The hope is the majority of professionals purchasing this stuff will gravitate towards well thought out well executed design and good quality/craftsmanship the same way they hopefully would when choosing a good coil machine.

Well said indeed.

but with all the so called different ones, it can make it more confusing on which one to at least start out with.
Like myself is a good case in point, one reason why I came here and two asked the question on differences.
and I really don't care for the 'celebrity' named items. It's becoming a bunch of infomercials.

I intend on buying a couple from some people, at least two if not three of the builders are right here, and
I'd like to build some for my own pleasure, not for production sales.

There are alot of nice rotarys coming out and its tough to decide which ones to buy, thanks to this site i feel more comfortable purchasing new euipment. I think customer service should be on the top of the list when buying anything new, hopefully Gatson will be making a rotary soon, this dude's customer service is excellent.

Nothing ever wrong with some well made one offs. Sometimes the little guys who do this stuff do the best job of keeping the big guys on their toes.

There seem to be some nice ones now and ones that have been around. I do agree that the more being developed the better some aspects can come from it.
And yes, the 'little builders' do keep the bigger boys on their toes. Just got to love trends though, Rotaries have been talked down on for so long here in the states and now...explosion!

Customer service is a selling point, so it the construction, materials, and how it handles for your style.

I can't wait to see what some of these people have in the works, like Neo, Rapier, Bishop's fineliner, what Gaston has up his sleeves but I also like what the little hand builders have going to. I'd like to pick up a Rotaryworks and after holding a Uncle Roy machine, I want one just because it's a beautiful piece of functional art. Exciting times people, Exciting times.
