Adjustable stroke tattoo machines are a game changer for tattoo artists everywhere, letting artists achieve their creative best with fewer machines and an easier tattooing experience. One of the primary advantages of adjustable stroke machines is their adaptability to various tattooing techniques. Whether you're working on fine linework, intricate shading, or bold color packing, these machines can effortlessly transition between different stroke lengths, giving you the versatility needed to bring your visions to life.
Adjustable stroke tattoo machines have revolutionized the tattooing game, giving artists unprecedented control and versatility with a single machine. But what exactly is an adjustable stroke tattoo machine?
Unlike traditional tattoo machines with fixed stroke lengths, adjustable stroke machines allow you to change the length of your needle stroke, often with just a few turns of a knob. This flexibility gives you the power to effortlessly line, shade, and color pack with a single machine. Whether you're an experienced tattoo artist or a newcomer to the industry, adjustable stroke machines offer a wealth of benefits that can enhance your art and elevate your business.
Need help choosing the best adjustable stroke tattoo machine for you? Here are some key factors to consider when making your choice:
Some adjustable stroke machines have a wider range of stroke lengths than others. Want to do tribal tattoos with your new machine? Make sure it can be adjusted to a heavy-hitting stroke length. Need it for detailed realism and portraits? Be sure to get one with short enough stroke lengths for details and shading.
Many adjustable stroke machines on the market are pen-style rotary machines, which artists love for the comfortable grip and easy setup. Some industry favorites include the Cheyenne Hawk Pen Unio, the Axys Valhalla Rotary Pen, and the Peak Proteus Pen, all of which boast a stroke range of around 2.4 to 4.2mm.
If you prefer a traditional tattoo machine, you still have some amazing options like the Spektra Edge X Rotary Tattoo Machine with Give, which features an impressive stroke range of 2.8 to 4.2mm.
If you truly want to change stroke length on the fly, go for a machine with a clickable adjustment system. These machines usually include a twistable component that you can twist even when your machine is bagged and wrapped.
Other adjustable stroke machines come with multiple cams of different stroke lengths. If you don’t mind switching out the cam, machines like the CA Rotary Pearl or the Peak Solice Mini Wireless Pen are great options.
