I prefer the Hurricane HP-2/HP-3 over the CX-2/CX-3 personally. they are just designed much better, and work a lot smoother in my opinion

I actually just recently got a Danny Fowler Flatline liner lmao

The stingray is basically a beefed up Firefly. It’s your run of the mill linear action rotary machine. At 850$ i wouldnt buy it. Rotaries are rotaries, and that simple design linear action really isnt worth the price they are charging. If you’re going to shell out htat kind of money get a Cheyenne Hawk Thunder or Spirit.

well we are not going anywhere anytime soon and totally understand about being picky on the shop thing. We do not tolerate drug use and so have had many qualified artist turn down the booth because we don’t want them coming to work high. As such is our industry unfortunately. Booth still open for the right person….
