Who Is This Machine For?

This machine should appeal to even the staunchest traditionalist as it has an armature bar like a coil setup that retains the sense of feel of a subject’s skin and out of the box it is tuned the day it leaves their factory used with tubes and tips or with an adaptor like the Ruthless brand push rod plunger to fit an armature bar and also push cartridge needles.

What’s Unique About this Machine?

It is an all-around machine that comes in offerings of 4 different stroke depths.

Brian Everett and Welker (an arm of Eternal Ink) are the visionaries behind this machine, one that they claim eliminates ALL vibrations with a patent-pending dual balancing plane. The goal and desired result of this undertaking is a machine void of all vibrations, something Welker has filed a patent on their dual-plane balancing system, yet another ground-breaking milestone in tattooing for the industry. With each and every turn of the cog, there is a counterbalance applied to minimize the vibrations to the extent they are negligible.
