Frequently asked questions

• Should I choose a wireless or corded machine?

  Wireless models offer excellent mobility and eliminate cord tangling, making them perfect for artists who value freedom of movement. However, they require regular charging. Corded machines provide continuous power without interruption, ideal for long sessions. Many professionals own both types for different situations.

• What does adjustable stroke mean and do I need it?

  Adjustable stroke allows you to customize the needle's travel distance, giving you control over how deep and fast the needle moves. This versatility is valuable for different techniques—shorter strokes for detailed line work and longer strokes for shading or color packing. It's especially useful if you work across various styles.

• How do I maintain my tattoo machine?

  Regular maintenance includes cleaning after each use with appropriate disinfectant solutions, checking for loose connections, and applying proper lubrication to moving parts periodically. For wireless models, maintain battery health by avoiding complete discharge. Proper care extends your equipment's lifespan significantly.

• Can I use the same machine for lining and shading?

  Yes, rotary machines are versatile enough for both techniques. You can adjust your needle configuration and stroke settings (if you have an adjustable stroke machine) to optimize performance for different applications. Many artists successfully use a single quality machine for all their work.

• How long does a wireless machine battery last?

  Battery life varies by model and usage intensity but typically ranges from 2-8 hours per charge. Higher-end models often feature longer battery life and faster charging times. Our wireless tattoo machines typically come with two batteries, providing more than enough power to handle your tattooing needs throughout the day.
