The Best Tattoo Machine (Rating My Tattoo Machines) 

Thx for all the reviews

Good reviews. Very thorough.

Hit, thank uou, all I needed to know whas the hit and power and you explained it perfect

I will say this helps a lot. I’ve been new to the cart style machines and tried all kinds but I’m really glad I looked at this cause I was really debating on the bishop and I will say out of all the ones I tried, it was the best I’ve invested in. I had radical lux, mast, cnc were all crap. Now I finally feel that bishop is my fav

Oh man, you might be the final reason so to speak why I picked Avenger 2 pro as my go to machine. I love it, I do pretty much everything with Blad and I might go for a second one in the future and set it up with classic needles. Thanks man!

Mmmm dat feeling when the machine you just ordered is the last one left to rank😊😊😊

The paper machines 😂 love it, thanks for the vid.

Great review and vid as usual Ty! I'm personally a big fan of the neuma4 for lining it feels more like a coil without all the hangups that come with coils. Though I would recommend giving Inkmachines a look, their Scorpion and Scorpionx2 with the neo cart are amazing for black and gray as well as color blending. They are also apparently coming out with a wireless pen sometime in June, I believe it's called the Cobra. Anyway as always I appreciate all your hard work.

Solid choices dude, thank you for making this! I think you’re the only person I’ve heard say they’re not a fan of the inkjecta. I love them so much I have two of them setup with different cams and bars 😅

Still waiting on your new updated review for the nuema 4. Im having trouble also. Want to try the the bishop wand liner

I believe the Neuma 4 is truly one of the best rotaries out there. Especially when it comes to lining. With it's short duration in the skin it has less trauma to the skin and heals well. I believe a lot of people aren't doing it justice because of not enough time spent or experimenting with its different cams and stroke profiles. I have the bishop packer 4.2 and bishop wand shader 3.5. I love them both. I also have the stigma force 3.7 and flux max 4.5. All great machines but I always come back to the neuma. I recently purchased the Neuma 4 MACRO. It is a beast of a machine with 50 percent more power and torque from the motor. It feels a lot smoother for some reason. Carson Hill did an amazing job with this technology in his product.

impressive video brother! have you tried setting your vladblad avenger in between of each stroke? i.e between 4.7 and 4.2? so get somewhere 4.5mmstroke? do you think its doable?

Thanks for this video man. I love my Avenger 2 ! I just started to look at the Peak Solice Pro. Would you consider doing a review on it?

Thanks for making this - especially the callouts for bad companies/machines - as a newbie i can't ever be sure which reviews are genuine

Which tattoo machine could you recommend for begginers? I want to start learning dotwork on fake skin and was wondering if dragon hawk mast will be enough?

Didn't really enjoy the neuma 4 neither. Been using my boss's Bishop liner and I'm completely in love with it definitely going to buy the new machine they just pumped out can't wait

Thank you Tyler

I am trying to get back into tattooing and it has been a while. I'm looking for a good machine that can do both lining and shading. Aside from your #1 pick, do you have any other machines you recommend that would be good for both at a slightly lower price?

good info!

I’ve been using the Valhalla for about two years. Recently I got a battery pack for it going wireless is a game changer. I also wanted to check out the neuma

Im just beginning my tattoo artist "plotline" Thank you for the info 🙏

Thank you for this I have been wanting the Bishop for a while and almost got the Cnc2 because I was told it's a great dupe so you just saved me $200! Can you review the Spektra Flux? It's my go to machine that I use for everything and I would love your opinion on it! When I was apprenticing my mentor swore by the Flux and said he's tried almost everything and I've really only tried a few machines myself including some awful Dragonhawks trying to save money and I agree with everything you just said about those mast pens

I bought a bishop wand liner partly for the comparison you did with the avenger v2. I just completed with an ultron pen from vlad blad for shading and color packing. Thanks for your videos!

Try a Dan Kubin Sidewinder! V3R or the new V7's are super rad. Adjustable strokes and hits hard. Only machine I'll ever use for lining

Hey man, my sister is starting to learn about tattooing and I was wondering where can I get her supplies (ink, needless) online? Thanks

Can you make a review of the ultron 2 ? There is not that much videos on this one ! I have the first avenger, love it

Have you tried any of the vlad blad pens? I’m thinking about purchasing one of the ultron 2 customs.

Solid video 😃

sir can you do a review on the t2 tagteam2 tattoo pen

The inkjecta is slow and is a great “first color blending“ machine. It’s soft and delicate for layering but what you soon find is that it’s a little too soft. It’s for artists who don’t mind taking 10 to 12 hours on a hand sized realism tattoo. It’s great for people who don’t have a sense of needle control because it is almost impossible to overwork skin with it in my experience, but every time I use mine find myself wanting something more efficient about halfway through the tattoo.

what do you think is the best affordable machine for like black n grey and reliasm tattoos i have a 4mm mast machine what do tou recommend

Can you do a vid on the Discover Device Adjustable Stroke tattoo machine and the CNC P6 Adjustable Five Level Stroke? Maybe compare the Valhalla and the Cheyenne Unio

I just got the VB Avenger 2 based on your review and I have only used it once so far and I am impressed already. I have a pretty big tattoo to do today and I can't wait to use it some more. I've never been a big fan of rotaries for outlining but the Avenger might possibly change my mind. Thank you for the videos you do,..it's impossible to "try before you buy" tattoo machines so we have to rely on reviews like yours.

Also have the Avenger 2, bishop Magi (4.2 stroke setting), and just recently picked up the bishop liner. I loved my Magi while it lasted but retired it due to the cam frequently dropping out the drive bar and the clamp mechanism becoming worn out. I love my Avenger 2 and I will use it til it breaks (tat gods forbid) and buy another. That being said, the weight does make my hand uncomfortable after long sessions. It's just a powerhouse. My best friend went from coils to one recently and has mained it for every tattoo since. The Bishop liner is great. Just used it all day long for the 13th and really got to know it. You can run a bugpin mag backwards and still get some soft tones with it but I don't think I'll be using it for most soft black and grey. Thanks for another great vid man! I came to your channel first before my last two machine purchases and am still super pleased 🤙🤙🤙

hey man.regarding the neuma 4,at first i was having trouble with it.too strong for my liking .But it really has great potential thats why i stuck with it,tried the 28 and 33 percent and the machine won me over.

I got the Vlad Blad Avenger 2 pro and felt heavy vibration on 4.7 and 5.5 mm stroke

Where can I buy a good pen gun that does lines and shading from, what do you recommend?

Hey! thanks for the vid, has been very helpful. Im still torn on which machine to purchase, maybe you can help with your advice, when I first started, I wanted to purchase the axys Valhalla, but they asked for preview experience and I didn't have any. So I end up buying a stigma, which was good but broke during a tattoo session after less than 2 years of use. My current options is getting The avanger Pro2 from VB ort he Stigma Force, but NOW i just saw this video, and made me want to go back and try the Valhalla! I feel like going from a pen to the avanger might be hard to get used to and because of this I keep thinking I should stay with Pen style machines. If the advantages of the avanger are such a game changer, I shall choose it then.

Can you review the Ambition Soldier?

The neuma 4 usually comes with a 20% 3.6 cam for lining and I couldnt stand it. My ideal set up is the 20% 4.2 cam with a brass bearing arm.

We're is the blox 2.0 rotary pen machine? I researched it an it seemed like a good machine but now I'm not so sure an I already ordered it,can anyone tell me if they have used one before?

Try out the vlad blad pen. It’s really nice, using it with a muso tuko power supply and my work has never healed quicker. Fast and effective. Gonna have to get the avenger 2

What’s your opinion on a decent budget coil

Hey Tyler, could you tell me which grip and push-rod length you use with your Avenger 2? Thanks!

When talking about the bishop liner u said that you put in every dot manually sometimes. What do you mean by that? So you handpoke with it? Or you put the voltage very low?

Ayxs got the Disposables back in stock for the Valhalla I just ordered two packs

I got the vlad blad avanger 2 , its great machine and I'm love it but the vibration ot that like jackhammer and its a big issue, just curious if somebody else have the same thing?? Just to compare with fk Flux and injekta they smother and minor vibration

I like how you tell about hard hitting machines! I found myself liking them more too than soft hit. Bought VladBlad avanger 2 pro some time ago - legit best machine ever owned. Can't see any other machine that can upwin VladBlad

Finally someone who doesnt do the crap. And im so glad you told us about the 5 star reviews scam. I want another wireless one. I definitely want the ability to move 360. Is Mast worth it. Or do you know another brand for coloring and has a good re-supplying. Wand liner seems good, but at this moment, i want around 200 to 300.

give neuma more try, also try it with larger grouping needles

Have you ever tried the Killer Bee Type F?

We seem to have similar taste in machines 😊. Love my Axys pen, but a lil more umpf would be nice. Meh about the FKs & love the consistency of my cheaper direct drive. The Bishop pen sounds dreamy. Thank you for likely saving me a bunch of money. That was a great video! What are your favorite grips that work well with the Vlad? Thank you 💘

What is you opinion on the fk irons spektra xion

I am looking in to getting a new liner. It is between the neuma, the vlad blad and the bishop. I am keeping my coils for shading. I mainly do tradtional and blackwork. What would your recommendation be because I cant make up my mind and I can only afford one. Also how do the vladblad work with cartridges?

Because of your videos and reviews I decided to buy myself the Axis Valhalla, love the machine, would love to invest in the vlad blad or bishop

I would suggest taking a look at lithuanian irons machines, it’s a small company, but the quality is really good. used their Cronus for 3 years straight from fineline and small realism to bold blackwork, only reason why I tried anything else was because it was stolen lol.

Idk how to say this without sounding weird. But i missed you, thank you for the video. 😊

Im using mast flip. That's so smooth and really good. With that price mast flip really good. And we know above mast flip that will much better i think.

Whats up again Tyler. So I'm really considering the axis Valhalla for my next machine. My question for you is, what's the biggest cartridge liner and biggest mag you've used with the Valhalla. Does it have any problems pushing larg needle groupings at all? Thank you and as always much much respect.

The flute nano runs all the way up to 18v the misconception of power is the fact that people try to run it at too low a voltage. It’s mid point is higher than other machines that’s all

The avenger 2 is currently my favorite machine too. Dying to try a DK

Kinda shocked you said you weren’t happy with inkjecta/spectra, i still love those machines but they are not compatible with battery packs. (They are but it just looks clumsy) all in all good honest reviews. Saved me a lot of money buying/trying out machines. Thanks man! 🙏🏽

I know it’s a little late, but can you review the Dragonhawk Mast Archer? I’m looking to get it as a beginning artist.

Have you done a review in the spektra flux or flux max?

Check out my Chrysanthemum art short! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

I was able to look up the Vlad - Blad avenger 2 pro. That's a very different machine. I will send you the link where I found it. I remembered that you wanted a longer stroke. As I was looking at the machine I saw to my suprise a machine that says it has a stroke from 1 mm to 7 mm. Looked at it and at first thought yeah. I think I might know what you are going to say. I finally woke up and figured how the stroke is changed. But I did see another that I thought you might like to check out. It's a ; Tampax X5 direct drive, has 5 adjustable stroke. 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5.0 mm. Looked like one you might want to check out. I've been tattooing for a long time and saw the rotary machines when they first came out. You could see the needle going side to side, you could hear the machine bog down. Nothing was straight. I'll keep making my coil machines and that's where I stayed. Saw a comparison clip don't know who did and thought I need to play with one of those. Would like your thoughts on a WTK 148. I know you can find it. I wanted to try one that you don't care for. The Mast it's the first one of the three that you put down, red. No I don't remember all of the names and brands yet. Anyway I will figure out how to send you the link on those machines.

Have you ever heard of PEAK Solice Pro and what's your thought?

Awesome…I currently have two halo2 machines I like them but looking for sumthing just like you said more power

When you use the Bishop Wand Liner for individual dotwork, what voltage do you have it at? It's nice to know which machines you prefer. Thanks!

Hahaah no way I have same bishop liner and vladblad I could say that the best two machines that I have tried so far. and I bought them for your videos, thanks 🙏🏼

Thank you for the video i want to surprise my brother with a new tattoo machine i feel like his tattoos are really good but maybe his equipment is holding him back

Have you tried the sol nova machines?

Bros got the bobble head

What’s your go to machine now?

Hi, great informative video. What about FKIrons machines? I heard they're super expensive but their quality is questionable: lot of faulty motors (after operating just a couple of weeks!), batteries stopping charging or draining out quickly, cams broken, etc.

Have you tried the Acus M1?

Can you review dragonhawk mast saber tattoo machine

i know these are "rotary" machines.........but nothing will out do my mickey sharps 1998 iron coil machine model micro dial 10 wrap coils #64 hand made period....all original same spring ect...still lines color pack and the smoothest greys. i can hammer 3n tight liners-16 tight liners,5rm-27rm,8rs-14rs+ but awesome video! but i gotta 🤣🤣🤣 "NIKO RETADO?" its NIKO HURATDO.......LMFAO

Couple yrs ago I bought a gabe m1 rotary pen for 169.00. Adjustable stroke. I loved it. Someone stole it and now I see them priced really high. Can’t even get them on Amazon anymore. Hope whoever stole it enjoys it. Pos!!!

Wich cartridges gave you trouble in the cnc?

Really want to try the Vlad Blad, I had a vlad blad ultron pen which was awesome (until I accidentally threw it out with the trash!).

You have any machines you like to donate?

Cool video.

What you think about dankubin bro??

any reviews from your coils?

hardlife probably went out of business cause both of the omni v2s i bought, the motor siezed in, one of them seized the first time i hit the switch at 4v, and the other one locked up during my second time putting it to skin around 5v, i hated mine. if both mine broke im sure others did

No machine makes u a better artist.might make your work easier but never the less no machine will make u a great artist....but I do like how you rated them because alot of artists have similar styles to other artists.so if someone has a similar style to your style this is right up there ally.keeo these kinda videos comen man

Hi Do you have a discount code for the neuma four

I got caught off guard with tha paper tattoo machine gun

Nobody should write a review on a nuema4 until you’ve used it for a couple months, and have tried all the cams and different grips. That’s what really matters. Does everything under the sun

What about Sol Nova??

How do you not include the FK Spektra flux or flux max?...they are both better than any of these 🤔

Someone has tried the FK irons Spektra Flux ?

Used to use the old school machines and just recently got a tattoo pen, ambition storm wand and it's really different. Trying to find one that's good for lining and shading all in one, suggestions?

Hello I have a question I wanna buy a tattoo machine but I don't know which one to choose My budget is 600€ So Axys Valhalla or Ava Ep7+? Or if you have other suggestions please tell me Thank you.

Do you know the acus M1? A wireless pen. Interchangeable strokes with motor control. It's incredible. The best machine currently on the market🔥

I use a Bronc V9 for an all around machine, it’s small but does it all plugged in or w a good strong battery. I have a Neuma 4 which I don’t love I think for the same reason you state, it’s puzzling, and the Valhalla which I like a little more . Expensive is not always better, I’m finding, I can use a budget machine to its fullest potential so, hm. I do not have a bishop due to cannot find when I’m looking…😆

I bought that CNC a while back Its so underpowered don't get it lol

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍top

Axys Valhalla better be better than the flip since it's 3x the price
