So Element Tattoo Supply got some new tattoo machines in so I wanted to see if they were up to par. Elite series tattoo machines is what they call them. Elite ? are they? so I put it to the test. The photo I have as my thumb nail is the exact elite tattoo machine I used for a back piece. I put a 23 magnum low profile tattoo needles and ran it for my tattoo test. At the start of the tattoo the machine was hitting very hard. So I tuned it up by letting it run for about 20 minutes “stand alone” Just like all tattoo machine you need to break it in. Once that was done I gave the tattoo machine another whirl So I adjusted the needle flush to the tip of my tattoo tube, turn it down and went for it. Just like how I do all my tattoos I did what in the tattoo world is call “choked it down”. You see when I tattoo I use the tip of the tube, rather than the tip of the tattoo needle. but that’s a whole new blog I will talk about later. To my surprise the freaking tattoo machine was an Elite Series. that machine along with the low pro needle 23 magnum flowed with ease. I wouldn’t recommend this tattoo machine for those light handed tattoo artist that like to work off the tip of the tattoo needle. Because this things I think its around 6 oz ,but for tattoo artist that like heavy hitting tattoo machine these would be it! Don’t get me wrong I still use my Mickey Sharpz, Work Horse Irons, and all the tattoo machines I’ve always been using for years had but I added Element Tattoo Supplies Elite tattoo machine to my collection.
Here is the link of the tattoo I was working on with this elite tattoo machine.
