Re: TATTOO MACHINES...seeking recommendations

i took the plunge and went for seth cifferris..i got 4 machines on order....why change them if they work... im bored with the sharpz.simple...they are workhorse machines and they are good machines but after 15 yeers i wanna try something different.why not... i dont expect them to improve my work... maybe make it a little easier/quicker.... the thing is i hate change like the next person... but u gotta bite the bullett sometimes right... ive heard some great things about the seth machines from many many pros... not that your machine makes u anydifferent...they look dam good if u ask me too... ive had some probs with the sharpz machines i hate that vice grip i hate it
ive even had them re threaded twice
after years of use ill hang them up ...and if it goes boobs up ill get back with them...i decided against the kev shercliffe machines for now... i might not get on with these machines...if i dont ill try kevs.whats yur best black n grey machine?...i spose we are all using eikons here?...anyone fancy sharing some cycle readouts?...the seth machine was 5 volts at 150...thats some speed aint it!!!IM EXCITED ALREADY...

Good choice Chrissy.

Re: TATTOO MACHINES...seeking recommendations

I think you answered your own question, 15 years is a long time and you cannot complain about that. Are you just wanting a new toy like a lot of us want whatever it maybe, Its always good to buy ourselfs something new so do it but buy the one because I read so many time people going back to using Sharpz machines.

Re: TATTOO MACHINES...seeking recommendations

Love Mickey Sharpz! I have used them for years, for the B&W shading try a long soft stroke, also like the Soft touch M.S> provide oppose to other machines,,,I own a different types of Machine's by different Builders,you have to know what your buying, therefore knowing what Tuning too ask for helps a great deal! is you do not know how to tune or build or the history behind it then your ONLY Buying someones Name on Metal!!
Good Luck & God Bless...
