Choosing the Right Kind of Professional Tattoo Equipment

 

Professional tattoo equipment is essential for any artist looking to maximize their skills and produce high-quality art. Various machines are available; you must select one suitable for your needs.

Rotary and Coil Machines

Rotary and coil machines are among the most commonly used devices. Rotary machines tend to be lighter, quieter, and less likely to cause hand or finger cramping than their coil counterparts.

Cheyenne SOL Terra Professional Tattoo Equipment

The Cheyenne SOL Terra professional tattoo equipment piece allows tattooists to produce flawless lines and color packings with its SensiDrive(r) technology, providing users a new experience. The SOL Terra can be run in either its “Hard” or “Sensi” modes depending on an artist’s needs. When in its Sensi setting, it operates more like a traditional coil machine, while when set to “Hard,” more similar to a conventional pen-style rotary. The Cheyenne SOL Terra utilizes a brushless DC motor, providing quieter operation with reduced vibrations for a gentle work experience and higher-intensity work output.

FK Irons Spectra Direkt2

FK Irons’ Spectra Direkt2 is one of the most reliable rotary tattoo machines manufactured and engineered in the US with a 1-year limited motor warranty. Its body is precision CNC-crafted from one solid rod of aircraft grade 6061 T6 aluminum, mirror polished, and anodized for ultimate durability. Additionally, this device comes equipped with interchangeable stroke caps in sizes of 2.8mm, 3.4mm, and 4mm – suitable for both standard needles and cartridges. Spektra Direkt 2 combines the benefits of direct drive and crossover design into one powerful machine ideal for line or shader work. Its innovative Spektra MultiVise System accepts conventional back stem and screw-on style cartridge grips without necessary adaptors – an advantage over competing machines that may only get rear stem grips.

Hawink Dragonhawk Mast

The Hawink Dragonhawk Mast is an excellent piece of professional tattoo equipment. Perfect for any tattoo artist looking for lightweight and comfortable use, this equipment makes a beautiful addition to your tool kit. This machine boasts a powerful motor with quiet operation and superior control. Furthermore, its custom mast motor delivers vibration-free inking. It’s the ideal tool for liner, shading, and color packing applications – quickly turning on and off with one button! The operating voltage should remain between 7.5 to 11 volts to prevent an electronic device from overheating. Any voltage exceeding this could result in its malfunction.
