I have been intrigued by these for a while now and while i dont want to spend a fortune on a machine I may or may not even like I am willing to drop some cash with Hildebrandt just becaue they are good to deal with and i actually like their equipment. I bought my first set from them and am still using it with absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Anybody who has never tried one of their machines really ought to check them out, for the money you get a really nice piece of machinery. OH...those that want to argue the point? Feel free, Ive put the Hildy up against name brand equpment and it held its own. NO I am Not affiliated with the company in any way, shape or form.
I would also consider a Stealth machine, or one of the rotary Hammer machines. Ive done a bit of looking around and found some that i would at least like to try and see how they operate in real life. I know a quality machine is essential but Im not at a level where I want to drop a dime on a Neuma and i sure dont have the skills Mike DeVries has...by the way Neuma pretty much hands him machines he is so good, he posted the other day about receiving one.
If you want to try out a rotary, seriously, take a look at the Hildebrant page and see for yourself, dollar for dollar its about the best deal around.
Peace...........
Hello Viper, it's good that you open up the topic. I'd been researching from site to sites for the best machines available on the net at a good price for about 6 months now. But all my querries end up at http://www.tattoomachineequipment.com which is one of the distributor of the authentic Hildbrandt machines. I decided to purchase one set of the coil type which come with 3 machines and 1 set of the rotary type which comes with 2 machines within this week. The machines is branded and already tested for years. Just by the look of it, you can see the durability of the machine at a decent price. I also ask Lenny Welch's opinion about the Hildbrandt machines and it's performance. I also got a positive feedback from Lenny Welch as she herself is a Hildbrandt user. She's the owner of Addicted 2 Tattoos in Tampa Florida. Thanks I'll be in touch when i have the machines.
Personally, i think your gonna love em. I really like my coil set ups, I got the .444 and the .357? I dunno, they did some changes and the kit i have isnt whats in the kits any longer, they made my liner into a shader now with the new kits. As i understand it you can specify what machines you want when ordering, i hope you kept that in mind. when i get the rotary kit which comes with the executioner and asassin im going to swap one out for one of the lighter machines they sell. I also will pick up the Valsturd which closely resembles a stealth machine just to see how well it operates. If i like them ill move on to other stuff but first i want to try them out. Your dealing with a reallly good company and good customer service..always been good to me anyway!!!
