It is my first ever tattoo machine i got. Bought it bc it has very good reviews online. And i do not have any problems with it. Have tattooed with it twice now, and lovin it, feels great in hand, not too heavy, easy to use, easy enough to wrap it, clean it, change grips, to mantain, to regulate voltage and all an all easy enough to learn machine, and i also discovered that this machine goes up to 12 not 8voltage, which is a huge plus, bc i didnt know that before buying it and was pleasanlty surprised, it comes with tons and tons of needles, which is also a big plus. Im happy with it , its my first born. 🙂😍
