$50 FAKE Bishop Wand Vs. The Real Thing! What Tattoo Machine Is Best? 

Really appreciate the honesty on the review. A lot of RU-vidrs would just say it’s garbage because it’s a knock off👍

In the video you said that you would try to update as to how it’s holding up after some time. I hope that you do this would be great to see. I appreciate your honesty with the review. Always enjoy your videos.

I’m so grateful for this video. My partner uses a regular machine and does single needle black and grey for the last 25 years. So he’s been hesitant to change to a rotary. We were going to buy the bishop until I found this. And he loves it! It actually works great for what he does! For $50 we are in shock! Thank you so much!

been waiting for this one for a minute, hyped to get it, appreciate the man hours & resource you put in big dog

Love you honest attitude😊

Was waiting to see this review, you did not disappoint, love ur videos bro, every video you make is a banger!

i have a packer and got a different ambition vibe knockoff and honestly it’s a solid little machine, just too top heavy for me to enjoy it as much as the super short packer with critical shorty battery. it tattoos fine though for a tiny price. glad to have it as a backup!

Thinking of picking this up as a back up or even just to test out ! Thank you for the review ! Very helpful as always! 🙌🏼

Thanx for your great reviews

Awesome review thank you for that and man you are a amazing tattoo artist

Always a lovely review

Awesome vid bro!! Thank you for ur honesty!!!😎👍🏻

Great review! Thanks

Thanks for the honesty! What voltages did you use? Lining, color packing, shading, and stipple...

Great review!! Patiently waiting for the Ava EP10 review 🙌🙌

Thank you for this video. I want to buy the Ali”hello” one or the Ambition torped.

Tried the Rotaryworks machines? so smooth. more traditional rotarystyle, but the prices and quality is hard to beat

I just got one and it is an amazing litle thing. Probably the best liner I have at the moment! Sometimes 60$ is what it gets!

This is the videos we want man!!!! Most of us are just starting out with less than %50 to even try this hobby. Sooo many $500 machine videos that doesn't even resonate with viewers

what do you use in between tattooing. to get the ink off and whipe the area just did work on.

Thanks ❤

Need to try the Mummy Anubis Wireless Tattoo Pen Machine with Adjustable Stroke Length

Got mine in the mail today excited to try it out after watchin this If its any good ill buy another one and keep em as backups

Nice video I have an Ambition Solider, its actually very solid as well

If you can't use the disposible grips is your only choice to autoclave it?

Thank you very much for the video! Does anyone now what are the differences between a coreless motor and a brushless motor? Which one ist beter? Which one is stronger? Which one more durable?

Anybody knows if any disposable grip would fit this machine and if so, which? Thanks

I just ordered mine 😅😅😅 I’ve been wanting a dedicated liner so might as well get this one

Thanks for the honest review ✊🏼🥸👍🏼

Yo Tyler thanks for the honest opinion on these machines, I recently bought a wjx w500 rotary because it’s a 4mm stroke machine and after spending a few years on the 3.2-3.5 I decided to make the move up, I have been having some trouble with it thow think it’s my power supply which isn’t really making it run smooth, would really appreciate some feedback if you have any knowledge on these machines or a review, bought this machine for larger needle grouping and color packing

I have always heard you talk about large round shaders I’ve never seen larger than 18rs and even that is hard to find can you please review some large rs cartridges and tell us where to buy

I definetley didnt expect this 😂..just got the packer a few weeks ago...your Video is a little late 😅...thanks Tyler,always appreciate your honest opinion and you are the reason why i got two amazing machines because of your recommendation and absolutely love them...the avenger 2 pro and the wand Packer. Looking forward to all your upcoming content!

Español _ responde en inglés yo lo tradusco, la máquina pen hello (fake) es recomendable ?

How many rpm does the real liner have?

This was a fun video. I was sure you were gonna rip the knock off to pieces but your review surprised me! I still wouldn't buy it just because of the uncertainties of the motor but it's good to know!

Does anyone have any cartridges to recommend for single needle tattoos?

Hey hope you having a good day an chance you could you do a review on the new tatsoul Enso cartridges they just came out with

Thanks for that.

What needles should i use for the fake machine?

What voltage do you run on the real wand for lining

$50 vs $650 hmmm + what this man said about it... id honestly try it. I have a dragonhawk raven 2 and i like it despite my first one needing replaced butdragonhawk did replaceit for free and let me keep the original

Its funny because the actual bishop liner has different working volts on every website as well. Some say 5.5-7 some say 6-8

Do you know any good "classic" rotary machines that is good from aliexpress?

is the knock off still working now?

It's a shame that the original Bishop motor wouldn't fit into the clone body. It would had been a great combo. = )

Tyler I just bought both of these based on your video. I know you recommend the EP7 but have you ever tried the 3.5 stroke. If so how do you feel towards it? I’m on the market for a good shader. Any suggestions?

Hey man, I was just wondering if you ever found a disposable grip that fits this machine. Love your videos btw

First off thanks for your awesome videos. Just got mine and I'm about to test it out on some fake skin. This is my first time ever with a tattoo machine in my hand. What voltage would you recommend with a 5RL & 11RL for lining, and an 11CM & 15CM for shading and such?

why does it say plug type is EU ? not american standard ?

I will be purchasing this machine next

Would you say this knock of is a reasonable liner to have? I'm feeling the need of having a liner but I honestly don't want to spend a fortune

Can you use it with a power supply intead of a battery

Did you have any trouble with needle cartridges or they all fit good?

Hey Tyler Has the inkclaw code expired now? Didn’t work on the website. Great new video.

Hey! Does the machine (from the link you've linked in description) come with battery (yk, this upper part) ?

You should really try the ambition torped. Brushless motor, direct drive, changeable cams.

Maybe do a one year later review ??? V interested in how it held up if u used it again

My ambition machine is like a bishop you should check them they aren’t that cheap but still cheaper n you can change your strokes from a 3.5 to a 4 I love it comes with two batteries n they last a few long days check them out you won’t be disappointed thanks for sharing bro 😎

Just got this lil knock off, did yours have some sort of cream goo stuff where the cartridges are supposed to go when you got it??

Ali Express sells a Vlad Blad Avengers pro knock off just like they do that bishop wand knock off. Would be interested to see how it compares, more so how it compares to this knock off as I figure wouldn’t be much of a comparison to the actual Vlad Blad

Can the bishop motor fit if unscrewed and screwed in fake ? Will it fit in the motor slot or is it too thick ????????

excellent...

UPDATE ON THIS MACHINE?!?!?!?

My partner is currently going to tattoo school and has been trying a variety of machines. On Tuesday she did a tattoo a black and white tattoo with a Bishop packer, her 3rd tattoo with it. Yesterday she did an identical tattoo on the friend's other arm with a FK Irons Spectra Xion and couldn't get nearly the same quality of small line work with a 3RL, like there was a lot more play on the needle. Ultimately she wasn't able to finish the design in a day and felt like the other machine was tearing up the clients skin way more, especially finding that she had to do 2 passes to achieve the same color packing. It was a frustrating experience for her. She's looking into getting her own machine since the ones at her school are shared and made available for trying a variety of styles. If she could she'd throw down on the packer right now, but $800 is too steep. I just ordered her 2 of these 'Hello' brands based on this video and will report back in later once she's gotten a chance to use them. Much appreciated for your honesty on this, That Tattoo Guy.

Anyone know what brand of cartridges fit this wand?

Have you ever used Enzo Abyss???

Man , You're Master. Cheers. For now I've just stop using this fake bishop, My daughter uses on fake skin. PS.For Stippling, I've make my own Tattoo machines.Rottary on Brass Frame.

Just wondering if knock off is still banging ? And do you still have same opinions now? Since video is 3 plus months old

Can it be bought on Amazon?

Very interesting video, I’d always recommend buying and supporting professional/credible tattoo brands. As far as the tattoo you did was that an original design? Just seemed like sketchy line work, maybe a better tattoo example would be more ideal for promoting a knock off.

This is not what I expected you to say. Good to know there are alternatives. Time and time again cheep rotary proves well. I must say name brand really matters when it comes to coils. Wouldn’t want to be seen at a convention with “hello” machine lol

How is that machine,is it still good after a year?

Hey brother I have the knock off machine what fo you set it at when lining

You should compare it to ambition torped

They aren’t different strokes each color is different motor the black I received was 2710 the gold was a 2707 same stroke different power 👌🏻

Thanks man. I just ordered one of these. What carts were you using in these tests and is that the shorty critical? I’ve been wanting to try criticals.

Is this the ambition soldier?

this machine better then peak solice pro..

Click grips a better by far ,they dont move

Interesting, I’ve been tattooing for 37years and use coil machines. I buy the cheap Chinese machines 10 for $50. They might need some tuning but hey. At $5 each 🎉😂😂😂. I’ve tried a few rotary’s over the years but haven’t been happy. Probably wasted $2000. I’ve bought expensive coil machines too but the cheapies do just as good a job if set up properly and last just as long. My hands are feeling it now though and I’m thinking I might try again. Perhaps I’ll give this a go.

I bought it after your rewiev. Made so far one tattoo, machine is really good! Now i'm starting to regret buyingoriginal Bishop machine xD

If you put a FAULHABER SR2607 motor in this machine, you would have a wand machine because that’s your motor, for $65 and the price of the machine 😉. The machine have the space for this motor

I feel like just because it works well now is not a great metric to go by for what constitutes a good machine. The cheapness shows not as much when it’s brand new but when it’s been used for years and years. There’s no quality control with those machines so who knows if you get one that works or doesn’t, and if it doesn’t work, then you just have to throw it away bc you can’t send it in for repairs. I feel like that’s a very cheap and wasteful approach to take, and it’s much more efficient to buy something that you know will last. Machines aren’t meant to be gone thru every single year, they should last you years and years and be serviceable. I’d rather buy a machine made by people in the industry who care about the industry, not some fast fashion cash grab repo, that just doesn’t sit right with me.. I get that money is a factor but a bishop machine isn’t even that expensive for a tattoo artists wages, why not invest in yourself and your own industry?

I think they have build a new version of it called the ambition torped. Its brushless now and you can get it with 4,5 and 5mm.

Had one of these about 6 months now - bought it on a whim just to see how it compares. I use it regularly, and it is awesome. Better than some machines I've spent way more on. Really love the recessed RCA.

Where’s the link to the machine

The ambition torped on Amazon is the same one but it comes in 4, 4.5, 5mm stroke it’s $70 or $80

The 50 dollar wins 😂

Hope you'll have a flux max knock off reviews..

Dont be a brand baby. Ambition has some of the best customer service i have ever worked with. Stop paying over a thousand dollars for a very, very simple machine. Unless you make 200 to 300 k a year tattoong, getting a bishop or critical or a flux should be an after thought. Tattoo equipment is changing big time more afforable options than ever before that are fantastic.

Anybody knows if any disposable grip would fit this machine and if so, which? Thanks
