Ciao, I have one from two weeks. I used coils tattoo machines for 11 years, from two weeks I use only the stealth. Is very nice. You need experience for to understand the skin, but.... no problem. I don't have pics of recent work in my site, but you can see the site of my friend Max, that use only rotary machine . http://www.myspace.com/maximolutztattoo Sorry for my enghlish and I hope to help you with my experience.

I picked up one about a week ago, and I gotta say that I really like them. I would recommend the short stroke machine for both lining and shading. the long stroke machine is too slappy and has to be run really high to produce good results. I also had to make a small adjustment to the machine to make it as efficient as possible. If you know your way around a standard machine and know how to tune one, you will see the flaw pretty quickly, and be able to fix it really easily. well worth the cost of the machine, and It wasnt that expensive to begin with. One coworker of mine, that uses very sketchy hand motions to tattoo, didn't like it. I think they are only productive if your technique suits the machine. they are very airbrushy.
