I started researching them when they first came out; bought one within a year (the second generation, called N2's, which looked quite a lot different and did not sport a logo for the first year or two. The new hybrid machines, which you see pictured above, are the latest breed, on sale for about two years now. So could it have been that you saw the older machines and didn't recognize that they were all made by Neuma? At any rate, if you prefer the traditional coil machines, by all means, if you trust what you are working with, and like the weight, it's not as if you can't do an amazing tattoo with whatever equipment you trust! :) The Neuma has been around for over 6 years.

I agree. I needed to find something to ease my wrist/hand fatigue; the Neuma machines are almost too good to be true and I would have missed out on all the benefits (which are many) if I had not tried them for myself. To judge fairly, one must actually try them! Well said, Dan!

It actually still has a bit of weight to it, but the balance, though lighter, is perfect; since I've been using them for 5 years I am used to the lighter weight and can achieve amazing things that with the heavier electric coil machines I could not do simply because my wrist and hand hurt so much. I get much better control with the Neuma machines. Period. the lighter weight means you don’t have to counterbalance with a heavy grip.

The machine does not have a motor on it, therefore it does NOT cause as much vibration. The oldschool electric machines have coils (motor) attached to the actual machine. This causes a LOT of vibrations - trust me, I've used the electric coil machines for most of my tattoo career. The Neuma Hybrid (or the original Neumas) do not use coils, in fact, their power source is not attached to the machine, and so it does not vibrate hardly at all - thus, the vibrations do not travel down the needle, into the customer's skin, causing a lot of damage to the tissues in order to get the ink in there. Same needles, same tips, tubes and grips - yes - but vibrations are cut literally 90% so not only does your client not suffer so much for their ink, the artist's hand and wrist does not suffer at all!!! And another thing - because of less vibrations from the machine itself, that little liner needle you use? Can get MORE FINE DETAIL than with the electric coil machines. If you have not tried them, you will never know! I've been using the Neumas since they were invented about six years ago; in fact I have had a lot of other tattoo artists sneer at the machines, because they refuse to try them - which also means they will never know the amazing differences!
