Custom Defender Shader Power
A type of tattoo machine where each setting is personalized. The stroke, amperage and lines are manually adjustable. One of the inexpensive options that justify itself. A “good” tattoo machine with an average “Duty” indicator, which has a standard line and does not hit hard. With such parameters, it will be easier for beginners to learn to hold the device in a comfortable position and get used to the technique. Due to its simple and reliable design, the Defender Shader Power does an excellent job of creating smooth shadows and soft gradients when working with thin and medium spikes.
FK Iron Power Liner
The tattoo machine guarantees exceptionally precise application of the finest lines and impeccable quality of work. Thanks to a carefully thought-out design and high-quality balancing, such a cheap tattoo machine helps the master to achieve maximum accuracy in work. The special setting of the impact mechanism guarantees the clarity of contours without blurring and spreading - the striker works with optimal force at the end point of movement, which is especially important when performing small details and thin elements of the pattern.
Rotary Machine X2 + RCA Black
This is a classic of modern rotary tattoo machines with a simple mechanism. The device operates at a constant frequency due to the low-frequency Swiss Maxon motor. The machine body is made of aviation aluminum, which makes it light and durable. The machine is equipped with a needle impact force adjustment system, which allows you to adjust the depth and intensity of pigmentation. And a reliable built-in lock ensures secure fixation of the tattoo needle. Due to its characteristics, the machine is universal in use - suitable for painting large surfaces and creating shadows, as well as for clearly applying contours.
Cronus Black
Budget tattoo machines Cronus support constant voltage, do not heat up and have a soft stroke. Equipped with a licensed 6-watt motor. Operating range from 5 to 8 volts (maximum allowable - 9 volts). Connection is made via a DC connector. The device allows you to adjust the needle travel up to 3.5 mm using a rotary mechanism on the structure or a special regulator on the body (depending on the year of manufacture). A cheap tattoo machine of this type will be a good start, because it is easy to take with you and practice at any time and place.
MAST Space Aluminum
The modular MAST tattoo machine combines technical perfection and stylish design. Thanks to the well-thought-out rotor design, the device works almost silently and smoothly. The machine body is made of high-quality aviation aluminum, which ensures minimal weight - only 120 grams. The ergonomic design allows the master to work comfortably for a long time without hand fatigue. The universal system of the machine supports all types of cartridges. The fixed stroke is suitable for drawing lines, contours, small details and painting. The direct drive machine is ready to use right out of the box. Basic settings from the manufacturer make it easier for beginners.
