Coil vs Rotary Tattoo Machines (pt2)

[@tat2munky13]

The thing is as a tattooist, you have to know and understand the coil machine, break them down and rebuild them, understand the timing spring and tension spring, size of coils , capacitor size, they hit harder and in my opinion run faster, rotary don't, coils when you line you kind lift and guide, rotary you push down and pull, with rotary when you push down and pull you are on the line between good line or a blow out line plus you have to slow down your hand speed, coils as soon. As you touch the skin your hand speed has to move fast. The only 2 things rotary has over the coil is needle swap and soft hit, I and suggested you learn how to rebuild a tattoo machine and learn the mechanics

It’s been about 4-5yrs since I used a coil machine. I will absolutely never go back. But yes I agree and I even say it in the video, There is a lot to be learned from a coil machine. Just giving my personal experience with the machines. I think coil machines are amazing I just personally prefer the pen style rotary for my work.
