Description
This is a pen-style tattoo machine with adjustable stroke, wirelessly replicating the kickback feel of a coil machine.
The Black Tortoise Mark I is a wireless tattoo machine by Inkclaw. It features a rear-drive design, offering a kickback feel and power output similar to a coil machine, yet in a pen-style wireless format. The stroke can be adjusted with three preset settings ranging from 2.5mm to 4.5mm, making it suitable for artists who want to change settings according to their work.
One of the key features of this machine is the choice of three knocking mechanisms. You can choose between screw-knock, rubber-knock, and duo-rubber knock, each offering different characteristics in terms of impact feel, sound, and vibration. The machine uses commercially available 18350 flat-top batteries, eliminating reliance on proprietary batteries. The grips come in two types, one for classic needles and one for cartridges, and are available in both aluminum and stainless steel. This product is the matte black version.
