Hi David, we expect to receive and deliver the machines in the middle of this month (May). We will keep you updated on our social media channels and via our newsletter and let you know as soon as we can give an exact date.

Hi Jessica, tattooing is art and every artist has their own style and techniques to transfer colour onto their work surface. Tattooing can often look like painting a picture, but the tattoo artist has to concentrate better than a painter, as careless work cannot be revised. In addition, the tattoo artist has to find the right depth to get the ink into the skin effectively. Pain is completely norma....

Hi Jessica, yellow scabs on your tattoo do not sound like a healthy healing process - unless the colours in your tattoo create the yellow colour. It is normal that a light scab forms over the fresh tattoo after a few days, but the yellow colour indicates inflammation, which the tattoo artist and possibly a doctor should take a closer look at. Please consult your tattoo artist to find a appropriate....

Hello, that entirely depends on your machine. In general, machines with more power are better suited for large needle configurations than machines with less powerful motors.

Hi Amy, of course you can create small, detailed tattoos with this combination. PMU hairstrokes are done with a different technique than tattoos, but they are basically micro tattoos. However, we would recommend practising on fake skin or something similar for your first tattoo on skin. Also, if you are doing your first tattoo on someone else's skin, you should ask an experienced tattoo artist to ....

Hi Abigail, the safest and longest tried and tested is certainly black tattoo ink. We recommend that you contact the ink manufacturer before the tattoo appointment to check that there is no nickel in the ink used. It is best to start with a small tattoo to see how your body reacts to the substances. If you do not notice any allergic reactions, you can slowly increase the size of the tattooed area.

Hi Mathilde, first and foremost it is important that your tattoos are done under hygienic conditions. A disposable grip makes it easier to work hygienically because it is already sterilised and the machine bag can be clamped underneath very easily and quickly. Cheyenne introduced the D-Grips long after the HAWK PEN to make work easier for the artist. Of course, you can also wrap your machine hygie....

Hi Sean, round liners (RL) are mostly used for line work. However, it is also possible to make lines with round shaders (RS). Magnums can also be used to tattoo special lines.If you don't know which needles to use for which purpose, we recommend that you train with a professional tattoo artist who will teach you all aspects of tattooing. Tattooing is not only an art, but also a craft. To learn....

Hi Tina, we recommend that you train with a professional tattoo artist who will teach you all aspects of tattooing. Tattooing is not only an art, but also a craft. To practice tattooing you can tattoo on artificial skin or oranges. You can use cheap needles for this. When working on human skin, you should use sterilised high-quality needles that are sharp and cause as little trauma to the skin as ....

Hi Adam, a 1209 Round Magnum can definitely be used for colourpacking. If you want to fill larger areas, you can also use a normal Magnum and choose larger configurations. However, you should know your equipment and hygiene regulations very well before tattooing on human skin. It is best to have a professional and experienced tattoo artist teach you how to tattoo and how to choose and use the righ....

Hi William, we have an article on this topic that will certainly help you: Tattoo Needle Guide

Hi Stephen, you raise two different issues.If the tattoo artist you choose mentions that he uses drugs, this can of course be disturbing for you. Many artists use and have used substances to expand their consciousness and enhance their creativity. This is up to each person and a very personal thing. However, it should not affect the professional practice of his craft. For this reason, it is a....

Hi Nathan, it depends on the size of the area to be tattooed. In general, large magnums are preferable, as they can be used to ink a larger area in a short time. However, the configuration must fit the body part so that all needles can really penetrate the skin. If you want to learn more about needles, you should read our "Tatt....
