Description
This wireless pen-style tattoo machine combines cyberpunk aesthetics with the design principles of traditional coil machines, and features adjustable stroke.
The Black Tortoise Mark I is a wireless tattoo machine by Inkclaw. It employs a rear-drive design, engineered as a pen-style machine that delivers a kickback feel and output characteristics similar to a coil machine. The stroke is adjustable with three preset settings ranging from 2.5mm to 4.5mm, allowing you to switch based on your tattooing needs.
One of the key features of this machine is the choice of three different knocking (hitting) methods: screw-knocking, rubber-knocking, and duo-rubber. Each offers distinct characteristics in terms of impact, sound, and vibration. Grips are available for both cartridge needles and bar needles, allowing for configuration changes to suit your application. The machine uses commercially available 18350 flat-top batteries, which are not included with the unit.
Product Features
- Three knocking methods: Choose from screw-knocking (strong impact), rubber-knocking (balance of quietness and ease of use), and duo-rubber (smooth operation with suppressed vibration and sound).
- 2.5-4.5mm stroke with 3-stage preset adjustment: The recommended setting is 4.0mm, and presets can be switched according to your work. A reset operation is possible by simultaneously pressing the + and - buttons.
- Rear-drive design: Offers output characteristics with a kickback feel similar to coil machines, making it easier for artists accustomed to traditional coil machines to transition.
- Built-in needle roller: Features an internal structure that reduces ink splatter.
- Compatible with commercially available batteries: Uses generic 18350 flat-top batteries, allowing you to manage battery procurement and replacement yourself.
