Top 10 Best Tattoo Machines To Serve All Your Requirements [Reviews & Buyer’s Guide]

Motor

The most important part of the machine is its motor – a German Faulhaber motor. The motor alone separates the CNC-Q1 from many other ordinary machines in the market.

Frame And Design

Hawink uses the aircraft aluminum alloy enclosure to make the frame of the pen. It adds up to the powerful appearance of the tattoo pen. Besides, Hawink designed the tattoo pen in ergonomic design to make you feel like you are holding a pen when you use the CNC-Q1. That makes it almost effortless to handle it. As a result, you can work hours without any exhaustion.

Performance

The CNC-Q1 is a silent worker. It makes no noise yet does excellent work. But notice that its operating voltage ranges from 5V to 10V. It will function properly as long as you run it within its operating range. If you go higher, there will be motor overheat as well as mechanical wear.

But do not take it the wrong way. The machine is highly efficient at what it does. It is equally good at lining, shading, and coloring.

What’s more, you can use any needle cartridge with it and adjust the needle depth.

Skin Suitableness

A unique thing about the Hawink CNC-Q1 is its unique feature of irritating and hurting the skin a lot less, resulting in quicker healing. Therefore, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration if I said that this pen guarantees your clients’ satisfaction.

Users

Professional tattoo artists widely use the rotary pen. But if you are a serious enthusiast who wants to become a great tattoo artist someday, you are good to go for it.

Motor

The Bronc tattoo pen has a Swiss-made nanotechnology motor. The motor ensures that the pen delivers smooth performance and lasts long.

Frame And Design

With the body of aircraft aluminum and the ergonomic design, the pen gives off a fountain pen vibe. So, it will be almost like you are using a chunky fountain pen. And it won’t cause you any discomfort during longer sessions.

However, while it weighs 154g and is easy to manage, I wouldn’t exactly call it lightweight. It is a little weightier than a lot of other tattoo pens. Despite that, you will be able to have enough control over the machine.

Performance

Bronc is also a 3-in-1 package. You can do all the lining, shading, and coloring with it. It also stays quiet while working.

Its needle depth is adjustable and is compatible with most of the needle cartridges.

Users

Tattoo Artists who are in the industry for a long time use the Bronc pen frequently. But that should in no way mean that it is only for professionals.

Give it a shot if you are a newbie. The machine has an easy setup. Usually, one needs to take some time to get used to a tattoo pen. But this one is different. You’ll feel it the moment you start using it.

Additional Accessories

I have saved the best part for the last. So, here it is. The tattoo machine does not come alone. It brings you ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES too!

Accessories like needle bars, O-rings, lubricants, a footswitch, a pencil tray, cartridge needles, etc., are included with the machine for the users’ convenience. These are the other things that you need for using a tattoo pen.

This one is the first tattoo machine I have seen paired with a pile of different stuff. I am trying my hardest not to be biased, but isn’t it fantastic?!?

Motor

This Dragonfly has an exclusive Swiss X2 motor which promises you high performance with a mechanical output of 6W. And that’s not the end. It is incredibly energy efficient. Using the machine will cause an electricity reduction of 80%.

Frame And Design

Designed ergonomically, the frame of the rotary tattoo machine has a finishing of anodized aircraft aluminum. The most brilliant minds make this material in the field of science. Not every company uses this kind of material to make their devices.

Performance

The machine is a tremendous performer. You can be doubtless that it will serve your needs properly.

It has a cap with a built-in damper that keeps it from making a loud noise. That gives its adjustments more stability.

If you wonder if it is manageable or not, here’s a fact for you: it is as weighty as 80 grams only!

Stroke Length

I am making an individual para about it because this rotary tattoo machine is different when it comes to stroke length. Because Dragonfly, being as cool as it gets, lets you customize the size by choosing from 3 given options: 2.6mm, 3.7mm, and 4.5mm.

What is even more convenient is that the lengths share only one eccenter. So, when you want to shift from one stroke length to another, just loosen a screw, twirl the eccenter, and select whichever option you want.

Needle Conversion

Since the machine can work with both cartridge needles and standard needles, you will need to convert from one to another. The process is pretty simple.

While using cartridge needles, look for a stay-up spring that you MUST remove to avoid any strain on the machine’s motor so that it functions correctly. The frame has a lid that lets you access the spring very conveniently. Remove it and convert from cartridge to standard and vice versa.

Oil Lubricants

The Authentic X2 includes oil lubricants. It is the most effective anointing agent to maintain the fluidity of the machine’s moving parts. You can take the needles out if you decide to use other ones. Just rotate them, and they will come out.

Frame And Design

A CNC billet brass frame has been used to carve the frames of both machines. This material is quite impressive and ensures you that you can depend on them.

Performance

There are a straight circle liner and a straight shader in the Dragonhawk package. The liner has ten wrap coils, and the shader has eight wrap coils. They will help you make the smoothest tattoo designs.

Another mention-worthy fact is its price. You can get the machines at a very affordable price. Besides, if you buy the machines and do not like their performance, you can give them back. The manufacturers will give you your money back.

I hope that gives you a valid reason not to miss out on this must-have.

Users

The brass coil machines are highly suggested for beginners and apprentices. But a friendly heads-up: you may find it challenging to use them at first. So, a little mental preparation will help you go the extra mile. On the other hand, professionals will also find it worth buying.

Coil

The brand new machine has a manual of 10 laps made from a solenoid valve. And the coil has been made with the latest and most sophisticated technology. It has a robust rear magnetic and a steady bouncing.

Frame And Design

Low-carbon steel is the material used to make the machine’s frame. The device is hand-assembled, yet it is just perfect.

It has a spring made with highly elastic composite material. That helps you stay unfatigued during long sessions. Furthermore, it also does not heat much when you use it for a long time.

Performance

It is a pro device with a running speed of 2500 R/minute. It will give your tattoos a professional look, be it lining or shading.

If you want a standard quality coil tattoo machine, give it a shot.

User-Friendly

The machine’s weight is more than 200 grams. If you think you can handle it well, it is a friendly match for you because comfort is a critical matter for tattoo machines. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Motor

A significant feature of the Mast pen is its supreme Mast motor.

The gear system of the machine is very reliable. Both of these contribute to the silent and splendid functioning of the tattoo pen.

Frame And Design

If you have already checked out the product, I am sure you have been amazed by its eye-catching appearance. The credit goes to space aluminum for that.

The pen of 12 centimeters is only 120 grams. You won’t feel tired at all tattooing with it.

The company has designed the pen to imitate the grip and feel of an original pen. That makes the process of making tattoos way less exhausting, if not fun.

Performance

The performance of the Mast pen is topnotch. It gives you maximum control and accuracy and makes fantastic tattoo designs. Furthermore, you can try out different tattoo styles and tattoo techniques with it.

Adjustment

This rotary tattoo machine contains a tool to make a hard and soft adjustment. Just insert it into the needle’s hole, rotate it, and adjust.

Remember that there is a top limit line. Crossing it might create undesired circumstances.

What It Includes

The tattoo kit package has a power supply, a carrying case, a foot pedal, etc.

The service of the power supply is decent. Connecting it won’t sweat you at all. It will also keep the pen running at full pace.

The foot pedal and the carrying case are very helpful in transitioning.

The kit also brings you 50 cartridge needles of different sizes. The over-mold of the needle and plunger provides maximum control and stability. And the tip and membrane of the needles let you enjoy a fluid tattoo-making process.

Users

The kit is recommended chiefly for starter tattoo artists. They can practice with it to hone their tattooing skills.

Frame And Design

Even at a low price, the company did not compromise with quality. They used anodized aluminum to make the frame of the machine. With a weight of only 135g, the pen will feel like a real pen to you. Besides, there will be less noise and vibration when you operate it.

Performance

Don’t idle yourself with the idea that the pen vibrating less means it does not have enough power. Both the frequency and the puncturing power of the machine are high. It hits with power perfectly, and thus, it gives you unique colors and shades.

However, the rotary tattoo machine works with most of the cartridges. So, you won’t have to change devices when you switch needles.

Needle Depth Adjustment

The needle depth of the Dragonhawk Atom pen is adjustable. That allows you to adjust it according to your convenience. You can change it from 0mm to a maximum of 4.5mm.

What The Kit Includes

The rotary tattoo machine kit comes with a power supply, a carrying case, some artificial skin to practice, transfer papers, gloves, etc. If you are a beginner tattoo artist, it will be a true companion that will guide you towards the next level of your preparation. You can make long strokes at 3.5mm and get done with the task within a short time.

Coils And Spring

The tattoo kit has a couple of pro coil machines: one to do lining and another to do shading. Each of the machines has ten wrap coils.

The materials of the machines are high-caliber composite materials. It is anti-fatigue and high-elastic. Therefore, you can spontaneously continue long-time tattoo sessions without worrying about getting tired and stopping in the middle.
