When you see each of the five lights, it will indicate that the tattoo machine functions at its highest voltage level. At that level, it should last 3 hours, give or take.
Please note that you are strictly advised to run the device at more than its maximum working voltage (12V) for the sake of the tattoo machine itself and its power supply.
Here’s my favorite thing about the Stigma tattoo machine: it has TWO batteries! That means you can work with one of them while recharging another. The indicator lights will also tell you when you should switch them. Impressive, right?

5. Hawink’s Corn Rotary Wireless Tattoo Machine Kit (EM136)
The Corn Tattoo Kit is one of the recent innovations of Hawink. I am sure you are wondering about the name. It came from the machine’s barrel that has a shape like a corncob. And the kit includes wireless tattoo machines, a battery, needles, and grip tape wraps. Let’s have a look at its review now.
Motor
The motor system of the Corn machine is quite impressive; I can tell you that. Its shaft rotation is smooth, and its torque is vigorous.
Battery
The Corn Pen has a rechargeable battery with an RCA cord connection. The capacity of the battery is 1500mAh. Depending on what the voltage level is, the battery can work for approximately 3 hours.
Performance
Following a much more precise tattooing procedure than the conventional ones, the machine performs perfectly. You will be amazed at its color packing.
It offers a lot more than it is supposed to in its price. Beginners looking for a piece of sturdy equipment to polish their skill should go for it without thinking twice.
Other Features
The Corn Pen is not heavy and is easy to manage. It goes with every cartridge. Its lowest operating voltage is 7v, and its highest is 11v. If you operate it at more than its highest voltage level, you will cause mechanical wear and motor overheat. Therefore, be careful about the machine’s operating voltage level.
Many buyers complain about getting products with damaged packaging and become upset when the producer does not do anything about it. But Hawink is different here. If you, by any chance, see that the tattoo kit delivered to you has damaged packaging, contact them ASAP. They will make the arrangements to replace your product.
- Sturdy and user-friendly
- Great value for money
- Flexible replacement policy
- You cannot expect to do well using the given battery, especially if you have to travel a lot. The battery does not last much longer. It will cause troubles during your long sessions abruptly if you do not have backup batteries.
6. Hawink Rotary Wireless Tattoo Machine Kit
It is again a Hawink product. Yes, Hawink is that good!
This Hawink product has fantastic specs that you will love. To see if it fits your requirements, check out the review below.
Battery
The wireless tattoo machine comes with two batteries. It lets you travel and work in longer tattoo sessions without having to worry about the battery charge. You can always switch to the other machine when one needs to gain its full power back.
Motor
The coreless motor makes the machine as amazing as it is. Tattoo artists love this machine mostly because of its motor.
Performance
You can use the pen to make lines, shades, and colors. It will flawlessly do all of that. The pen, while super quiet and highly adjustable, hits the exact amount and makes lovely tattoos.
The pen transcends many other machines when it comes to doing small and intricate tattoo designs.
Professionals have a liking to the product. For beginners, it is nothing less than a treasure. It is everything they’d need to become a pro.
Operating Voltage
The operating voltage of the corn pen starts from 5V. It can run at a voltage level as high as 14v. That’s a unique thing about this machine. You will find very few devices that can work at 14v.
However, note that just because it can handle 14v doesn’t mean you can try an even higher voltage level. That will end up in unwanted circumstances.
Other Features
Although this Corn Pen has a simple setup, it weighs 168g. If you are used to using lesser-weight devices, you should not go for it. But if you are okay with giving it some time to become easy with it, you are more than welcome. It will not disappoint you in the long run.
- Incredible performance
- Suitable for beginners and professionals both
- Two batteries
- A motor with high power
- Its weight may be a disadvantage for many tattooists.
- The batteries are heavy too. When it is onboard with the wireless tattoo machine, users may fail to keep a balance while working.
7. HAWINK WE Wireless Tattoo Machine
Hello from Hawink again. The CNC-M-WE is the first wireless tattoo machine made by Hawink. Many tattooists do not want to risk buying a cheap machine fearing it will provide disappointing service. The Hawink WE is here to prove them wrong. And here is how.
Battery
The wireless pen has a striking battery pack. It has rainbow LEDs that tell you the amount of charge left.
Unfortunately, its capacity is 900 mAh only. So, you can have it running for 3 hours, probably 3.5 hours at max. But if you look at the bright side, the pen has two batteries. That’s a huge relief.
Another advantage is that the batteries take approximately 1.5 hours to be recharged. According to Hawink, the efficiency rate of the batter is around 85%. That’s quite a lot, no?
Motor
The WE machine has a motor named WE. Hawink itself made the motor, and it is the shortest one they have made so far.
The energy consumption of the motor is much low. It is an energy saver that is meant to align with the green concept WE.
It is also helpful that the drive motor requires nothing much to function with almost no vibration. But there will be punches in plenty.
Performance
I would be overstating if I said it is the best machine of all. But it is not a poor-performing tattoo device either.
When you get something at a low price, there is a limit to what it will give you in return. And the WE device makes sure that whatever it gives you is worthy and more than what any other device would offer within the price range. I guess that that is something to settle for happily.
Other Features
Apart from one rotary pen and two pieces of batteries, the package also has a Type-C cord and a professional manual. The manual will come in handy for professionals, apprentices, and starters altogether.
With the battery on it, the machine weighs about 6.2 ounces (almost 176 grams). I usually don’t recommend heavy machines. But I would vouch for this one. I highly appreciate how Hawink managed to introduce a product like this at this price. Also, Hawink frequently offers discounts on its products. Take note of that.
Even after that, Hawink gives the buyers a twelve-month warranty. Often tattoo artists who have a tight purse wish for something that wouldn’t lack in quality. It seems like Hawink got their wish fulfilled.
- Cheap in price yet standard in quality
- Suitable for all types of tattoo artists
- Two batteries with LEDs and a high rate of efficiency
- An energy-saving motor
- Not every user will find it comfortable to use because of its weight.
- The lifespan of the batteries is not as long as one would have expected.
8. Ambition Rotary Tattoo Pen – Best Cordless Tattoo Machine

The machine package includes a tattoo pen, a battery, a USB cable, and a box.
Battery
The capacity of the battery is 1800 mAh. It is the most powerful battery we have discussed so far. It is capable of working for 6 hours at most if you run it under 8v. Therefore, it should easily do the daily work. In addition to that, it does not take more than 2 hours to be fully recharged.
It has a visible LED gear screen that displays the charge level and the voltage level. It is pretty simple to view and adjust.
Motor
The wireless tattoo pen features a 9w brushless motor that is built in it. Its maximum speed is 10800 rpm. It will not bother you with a loud noise, nor will it start overheating during a long shift. Overall, it is steady, and you can count on it.

The Ambition weighs more than 200 grams. But before you cancel your decision to buy it, know that it is very flexible to use. You can use the rotary pen to work on every tattoo style. If you are not terrible at using heavy devices, you should think about it.
- Flexible
- A battery with tremendous capacity
- Admirable performance

9. Solong Tattoo Kit Rotary Tattoo Machine Pen
We already have introduced Solong to you folks. It is time we got another Solong product out of my collection. The Solong Rotary Machine Kit includes one piece of tattoo pen, two pieces of tattoo batteries, a base of tattoo pen, a USB cable, and a USB charging cable.
Battery
Machines that come with a pair of batteries have my extra attention, no wonder. This one is one of those machines.
Both of its lithium batteries are 760mAh in terms of capacity. They take only an hour to be recharged. They run at 6.4v-8.2v. Depending on the voltage level, they can operate for 2 to 3 hours.
They weigh 45 grams each, and their weight distribution balances well with the machine.
Pen Base
The wireless rotary machine has a pen base. The base is controlled magnetically. There is a magnetron switch in that base on which if you put the pen, the motor will stop working. When you pick that up, the motor will start again.
Motor And Performance
The device runs with a Japanese coreless motor with a sophisticated gear system that will ensure a noiseless and stable performance from the machine. It runs at a voltage control of level 9 from 6.4v to 8.2v.
The device is both a liner and a shader. It demonstrates superior performance at both types of works. While you make tattoos with it, your creativity will start to spark differently.
Other Features
Solong made sure of the quality of the machine from its top to bottom. Its frame is made with Aircraft Aluminum Alloy Enclosure. That makes the machine durable and flexible. You will feel very cozy while using it.
However, here is something you should seriously consider. Do not use different voltage adapters for this device. It comes with one for its own. Using other adapters may shorten the lifespan of the battery.
Also, have the battery charged and discharged each month. It is better if you can do it more than once. But once is a must.
- Two batteries
- Hi-tech motor and gear system
- Quality materials
- Long-lasting
- The battery capacity is not much, so the batteries cannot operate for more than 3 hours.

It works stably between 6v and 9v. You can increase the voltage level by turning up per 0.1v clockwise or turning down per 0.1v.
To adjust the foot pedal, you will have to press the voltage button. If the light is on, it means the continuous mode is on. If otherwise, it indicates that the device is working under the switch mode.

How To Choose The Best Wireless Tattoo Machine?
It is always challenging to choose one thing among many. It is even more challenging when you have the best options in front of you. So, before you begin to feel overwhelmed after reading 13 reviews (a big kudos to you for that), look at the guidelines below.
Read all of them carefully. They will help you a lot in setting your requirements. And once you realize what you want, you will be halfway through choosing the best wireless tattoo machine for yourself.
Battery Range
Before anything else, remember to always, ALWAYS consider the battery range while checking out a wireless tattoo machine. That requires to look into three criteria: the battery’s running time while working, its charging time, and its lifespan or durability.
Among those three criteria, the most crucial thing is the battery’s running time, I think. That only includes its functioning time, not its charging time.
It is of grave importance that you monitor any change occurring in power when you make tattoos. It could be a red flag that the battery is malfunctioning.
If that happens, I highly recommend you replace the battery with a fresh and fully charged one as early as you can.
Overall Weight
A wireless machine displays flexible usage and increased productivity as you do not have to handle bulky cords anymore.
However, since the battery takes the place of cords, it will add some weight to the machine. But if it is heavy, it will make the device feel heavy. As a consequence, it will become difficult for you to work with the machine.
Keep in your mind that you are buying a wireless tattoo machine to get rid of cords. But, to solve that, if getting a wireless device brings in another trouble, it will not be worth spending extra bucks.
So, do not consider the machine’s weight only. Do check out the machine’s overall weight when its battery and other stuff are attached to it.
Compatibility Of The Needle
Usually, sellers sell needles separately. Most of the tattoo devices have particular dimensions of needle protrusion. That is why they are not compatible with other needles.
The same applies to wireless tattoo machines. So, if you end up getting a device that requires no cord connections, I suggest you get some needles that are compatible with your device.
Also, you can ask your provider about tattoo needles that would adjust with your wireless device.
Compatibility Of The Machine
The compatibility of the machine comes after the compatibility of the needles. Some specifications only comply with wireless features.
For example, you will be surprised (if not frustrated) if you test a coil machine with the battery of a wireless device. The coil machine won’t be able to respond well because of the mismatch.
The tattoo companies emphasize modifying their tattoo device models and creating wireless configurations with their rotary devices.
If you want to test your device, take into consideration that it must have an RCA connection.
Comfort
I have always put importance on comfort when it comes to the tattoo machine. I insist that you care about comfort when you think of buying a wireless tattoo machine. You will have spent your money on the right equipment only when it is more comfortable than its wired competitors.
Get a device that is easy to handle, one that will fit your style and will not compromise with your hand’s speed. A device designed ergonomically with a good grip will provide you with a better and more comfortable user experience.
Machine Kit
Wireless Tattoo machines mostly come with a kit including batteries, foot pedal, adapters, charging lines, compatible needles, and tattoo guns. Their prices vary based on the additional parts as well as their quality.
It is a tradeoff that you have to make while selecting a wireless tattoo machine. A higher price will give you more functionality, and a lower price will contain essential features alone.
Buy whichever works for you. But do not do that at the cost of quality for some extra dollars.
The Power Supply
I’ve already mentioned that wireless devices are still in the stage of evolving. Thus, many models vary depending on the connections with their power supplies.
As they use battery packs, their power supply systems are more compliant and easier to use.
See how your wireless device connects to its adapters and whether plugging it in and using it with the battery are simple or not.
The most popular device models are those whose battery has the feature to adjust the voltage level. That is a pretty helpful feature.
On the contrary, other devices will allow you to use the same feature but with a different battery pack. It will be calibrated to run at your chosen voltage level.
The cordless system will identify which battery to use, and its controller will provide you with real-time voltage readings while running.
Frequently Asked Questions

Final Verdict
Well, the end is here. I find it extremely hard to give my final verdict based on this many products. Every wireless tattoo gun I have reviewed today is worth trying. They have their uniqueness. And their price backs up their service rightly.
If you want a top-quality wireless tattoo machine from an overall aspect, the best ones for you would be Mast Tour, Mast Archer, Ambition, and Solong EM128 kit. You will not have to worry about their service. For permanent makeup, Charme Princesse is my first favorite, followed by Pinkiou.
If you prefer a kit that would bring you more than a machine and its battery, you’ll surely like the BMX tattoo kit.
If battery capacity or battery number is your chief concern, Stigma EM125, Hawink WE, Solong EM128, and Ambition should be in your consideration. Mast Archer is mention-worthy too. They should be within your budget range.
For beginners, I would again recommend Mast Archer. You can also try Solong kit, Pinkiou, and Hawink Corn.
That’s all for today. Hopefully, I was of assistance. Thanks for keeping up.
Happy purchasing and good luck making tattoos!
