Hey Mike, so i'm making the upgrade to Neumas, But i got a couple Questions to throw at ya..

1. Is there a substantial difference between the gen 1 neumas and the gen 2? (I-neuma/Holo Neuma) Would you recomend spendin the extra ~60 bucks for the gen 2's?

2. Do you use the footswitch? I worked with a guy who used Neumas and he never used a foot switch, just flipped the valve on the regulator and went to work.. By letting the machine run for the most entirety of the tattoo, don't you have to worry about cross mixing inks (dipping into different colors, diluting them, etc?) which i know can work in your favor at times to work subtle blends and transition colors.. but what are your thoughts?

3. Do you run both your liner and shader at the same PSI? And i know you can use any neuma for a liner or a shader and you just adjust the depth you set the needle as well as work alot by feel, was it hard to transition to this technique from adjusting the speed of a standard electric machine?

I could probably go on all day picking your brain about these things, but then where would the fun be about learning it on my own, haha..

Thanks for the help Mike, keep up the kickass work
