Review on πŸ–₯️ Wireless Cartridge Tattoo Kit: The Ultimate Choice for Beginner Tattoo Artists by Jennifer Bondy

Revainrating 3 out of 5

10 years testing

I wanted to try the new wireless trend before spending $1,000 on a professional install. I have to say I'm not a fan personally. Too much rear weight will completely ruin your ride if you're used to a Xion or any other middleweight machine. The machine itself worked well, hitting lines/hatches decently (comes with a 4.0 way switch, it might include 3.2 or 3.5 but I haven't tested it) and it comes with an RCA mount supplied, which you can change from the battery. Tried two 2+ hour tattoos, 1 with battery, 1 with RCA mount. The machine worked fine on both, there was no overheating. There was some stuttering on the RCA connection BUT it might have been my footswitch, I had to press a little harder than normal but no big deal. When I pressed harder, the RCA worked fine. FYI, it's "more powerful" than the Xion, so if you like a fatter car, that's a plus. What I don't like is the spin/cast/depth knob on this machine. On professional machines, the entire lower half is "turned" to change the needle depth. This machine ONLY HALF the bottom end rotates. It was a PAIN to wrap around switching between center tattoo depths. After noticing it, I had to remove the tape to only wrap up half of the floor with my tape. Is the engine idling? - when the car is not used, it runs very quietly - you can hear that - so that confused me for a moment, but that's okay. (I think Cheyenne does, too.) All in all, if you're looking to check out the wireless trend, you might want to check this out before spending $1,000+ on a pro setup. I'll be taking this on backup rotation with an RCA adapter.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Will do
