@@AndrueSOCAL Amazing! Still going strong.

@@RyanMethricArt awsome

@@Scoobieish I would start with about 5 drops. I’m constantly changing my white ratio. Sometimes I go light, and sometimes I go heavy on the white.

@@Inkiettoo777 Yes, very well rounded and solid machine.

@@RyanMethricArt thanks bro I got the 3.5

@@Inkiettoo777 Awesome! I hope you enjoy it.

@@RyanMethricArt I did

@@mephistosteiner8064 Yes

@@levig8236 They are two different techniques. Using water to dilute is how transparent grey washes are made. Using only black with different ratios of white make opaque grey tones, this is a monochromatic color tattoo. I often do both.

This comment is..

I don't worry about it. When I fill up my wash bottle it's 99% water with a few drops of Dial Gold soap. I don't feel like it makes any difference in the washes. Or maybe it does and it's my signature lol

Thank you!

I personally do around 6-8. Feel free to experiment though, there are no rules to this. You can even try drops of color.

I believe I used my Cheyenne Sol Nova Unlimited 4.0

@@RyanMethricArt looks sick!

@@jonathanjulius1903 thanks man!

🙌🏻

Thanks for the feedback man! 🙌🏻

They are very similar machines, I don’t think you could go wrong with either. I believe the Bishop has more stroke length options? I’m also not sure of the motor in the Bishop. I personally think it would come down to which one feels better in the hand, front ergonomics to weight.

The hit is softer, the swash drive plate in this simulates “give” in my opinion.

Hazel and/or glycerine always makes the skin red when I use it. I mainly use distilled water in my bottle, there’s literally a couple drops of Dial Gold soap mixed in. There’s not enough soap to affect the wash, and if it does well.. it works for me. 🙌🏻

The Critical Torque 4.2 hits way harder and seems specialized for color work. This machine hits a bit softer and is easier to use for blk n grey to me.

It’s solid for the $$

Naww, green soap could if it’s not diluted enough, but I use a very minimal amount of dial soap mixed with my water. Probably around a 1/8 teaspoon of soap for the whole bottle. I like where I just start to see soap suds in the bottle.

Hahaha it’s solid man, I use it everyday, in my rotation. Basically it makes me feel like other machines are overpriced for no reason.

The Cheyenne sol nova unlimited is a fixed stroke at $1,200, how is this not a value? This is a fully wireless tattoo machine, those others are not.

That’s up to you man, I personally only use the 4.2. If you have the $ to spend it’s always good to have a backup.

@@RyanMethricArtso I want to ask but since I saw someone ask why do you prefer the 4.2 then the 3.5 so I’m thinking of the 3.5 do you think that will work with shading and outline or is that why you prefer the 4.2

@@tony6655 The 3.5 will work great, that’s a very good well rounded stroke length. Personally for me, my hand speed is used to a 4.2 stroke. I like the slower travel distance and the punchier hit feel, but it’s something I switched to in the past couple years. I was using a 3.2-3.5 stroke for 10 years before that. (Basically I have an easier time packing color, lining, and solid black with the 4.2, so I practiced and made myself adjust to it for smooth black and grey so I didn’t need to use multiple machines.)

@@RyanMethricArt thanks I just got mine in today I went with a 3.5 the set…. The only thing is that they all out of tubes so yeah that sucks. I was ready to use this bad boy it came with one disposable tube so I’m going to run that for 1 lucky person till I get them in.

Hell yea! How’d that expo go man?

I honestly don’t care where it’s made, do you? For the price, the machine & motor paired with the Critical battery is great. I’m still doing my tattoos every day.

I would recommend the 3.5 stroke. It’s a good well rounded middle ground that’s capable of any style of work.

Awesome man! Thanks for the comment. I’m glad it worked out well for you!

Can I ask why you got the 3.5 over the 4 I’m in a delema of which to get, can the 3.5 put down solid lines

3.2-3.5 stroke is very well-rounded and capable of doing it all.

I think upgrading would be worth it if you’re currently unhappy with your results, or you’re having quality control issues with your machine. I would recommend getting the 3.5 maybe, it will be a good middle ground stroke length between the 3.0 and 4.0. Honestly though, I can use any stroke length and adjust to it, and still achieve smooth blk n grey, or solid color and line work. I think dedicated stroke lengths make certain jobs easier and quicker. Example: I can bold line with a 2.5, but it’s easier and quicker for me to use a 4.2

Good question! I’m not sure, I don’t have the wireless foot switch. I’m also wondering if the Critical Torque battery can power this machine, I know it fits. My guess is no for both, but I will test and update.

So I think I can answer your question on that yes those batteries are inner changeable which is awesome so you can use the bishop power wand batteries I believe the critical torque batteries work also!

@@gotink6tattoos561 That’s really awesome honestly, it makes everything super flexible!

Thanks for the comment man! Don’t get me wrong I definitely started with coils, and I respect the foundation of tattooing. I’m also not bashing old school tattoo artists who have used coils for 20 years and feel confident, and comfortable with them. I get annoyed by “new” artists that try to be trendy posers, and purposely shit on newer technology, and will only use coils. I’m a huge believer in progressing and evolving, as technology grows and pushes the industry forward, I wanna grow with it.

By all means, that’s your choice to support them. Feel free man.

I promise you cheap Chinese company’s have not done this before prime is a renowned needle brand who collaborated with two very quality brands and used really high quality components to put together a solid product that Amazon garbage comes with a triple a powered hot wheels motor with an aluminum can body that comes contaminated from the factory, please believe me when I say cheap Amazon machines allow to you about what voltage they actually run at they’re motors are too week to consistently penetrate the skin it will cost you more in the long run when you can’t pack solid color or pull solid lines

Dope man! If you ever have questions for me, or wanna talk tattoo stuff feel free to message me on my Insta.

​@@RyanMethricArthey man whats your insta? I just wanna ask abit about this machine, cheers

Swashdrive

Very solid for black and grey, I’ve honestly haven’t had any issues yet. The torque packed very well, especially for color, but the machine hits very hard and I had to watch myself from overworking the skin. The prime pen has been packing very smoothly and solid with minimal skin trauma. I’m very happy with it. It hits hard, but does seem like there’s some natural give.

How so?

So my primary machine for the last few years has been the Unlimited 4.0, I think the prime Pen pushes lines about the same. It feels very similar to that machine. It was a easy transition for me, where the Critical Torque felt very different. The Prime Pen hits hard, but does seem like there’s some natural give.

Thank you very much, I have now ordered the 4.2 version

@@tricArt7 That’s awesome man! Feel free to message me on Instagram if you ever have questions, or wanna talk about tattooing.

Thank you!

Thanks for your comment!

It really is a great machine! What volts are you running it at?
