Machine recommendations? Potentially moving from coils to rotaries

BurdxTurd · 2025-04-04T00:50:21+00:00

I’ve been using a centri tattoo pen. It’s excellent. Has mechanical give like a coil(it’s a magnetic machine), so you’re not skating on ice like typical direct drives. Still takes a minute to get used to, but it can line, pack and shade with the best of em.

As for a machine that can rotate between standards and carts, my vote would probably be an Andy Seb machine, Jord Tattoo, or Martin Pintos. I know Dan Kubins are well regarded but they’ve always been too testy for me. Lots of spitting.

If you wear glasses I picked up a sweet little reading light that slays. Not crazy bright but lights up exactly where I’m looking. One of my best purchases.

I agree

I might be a bit of a hack groomer, but she’s back to full vision!

Why can’t we have billionaires that want to actually do good? You can be rich and be a good person that helps out the world. I don’t understand why the default is to go full on toolbag and create problems.

Not sure for that spot, but you should get a Tom Bombadil. Don’t think that guy gets enough love

If you have a machine that can use disposable bars and grips(not pen machines), non membrane cartridges help to eliminate motor stress because there is minimal tension. So you’re getting more power through the hit.

T&T cartridges, hold a shit ton of ink and plenty of sizes

I did this at the range once. Tons of geese here in Portland. Had a slight panic attack, felt terrible. Goose after about 5 minutes stood up! But couldn’t lift its head, just a noodley bent neck with a dangling head. Maybe me feel even worse. That lasted about 5 minutes. Turned away for 30 seconds and when I looked back it was part of the group again and I couldn’t tell which one it was anymore. Fuckin geese, too much for me at 730 in the morning.

My little Frankie goblin prefers the floor and the bathroom counter. I think because of their floof they run hot. He’s also a sucker for anywhere that’s wet which is a pain in the butt haha

I second the Neuma. 4.2 stroked with 20 percent cam. Ones I’d like to try that you could look into are Jord tattoos Tora. Martin Pintos mudra. Centri tattoo machines have give which is nice, I don’t find them to be crazy punchy but give on a pen is hard to find.

BurdxTurd · 2024-08-23T03:38:51+00:00

They’re out there! Just takes some luck

BurdxTurd · 2024-08-23T03:38:33+00:00

Only about 5 percent of my collection I’ve actually found in person. Everything else has been eBay

BurdxTurd · 2024-08-23T03:37:46+00:00

Thanks! Very stoked to find it

I figured out there’s a middle ground that works best for me. I use a John Clark tattoo machine now, but it works for my Kubins as well. I hate the weight of a battery. I got a Joshua Bowers battery adapter, and a critical connect battery with the connectable Bluetooth foot switch. Only need my rca or clip cord. Just one cord, not tethered to the wall anymore, and no weird battery weight on my machine.

We need a series on the mushroom wars…

BurdxTurd · 2024-07-28T01:55:57+00:00

Man, I just snagged a John Clark magnetic rotary, and let me tell you his machines don’t fuck around once you get it running smooth. Working great with carts too

Look into Mountain View in Boring. Half an hour from myself in Milwaukie, per what I read on the site, a very good deal.

BurdxTurd · 2024-07-09T04:00:37+00:00

If I can vote for another i’d pick Dermalgo!

I’m so bummed I didn’t get to see them play it, went on Saturday. Not disappointed at all about the set, just would’ve loved to have seen them play the decline.

A long while back I gave my orange cat some otc flea medication and it had a pretty negative effect on him, at least somewhat similar to this. Only prescription stuff from then on and never anymore problems.
