After trying the stigma rotary chroma the acus is wack!!! Here’s the thing, at this point in tattooing! Any machine that requires you to remove the grip and remove parts to access the drive system to adjust the cam in my opinion is a waste of time. Mind you the Acus m1 is a great machine, but did I ever find myself swapping cams during tattooing? Nope never happened same thing with the Neuma I set it up with either the 28% cam or the 33% cam and I would never swap cams during tattooing. Stigma Rotary saw what everyone was doing and just did it right dude!!! The chroma in my opinion is the best machine out now. Adjusting the stroke is easy and works seamless the give options and boost option just work phenomenally. The response of this machine is fantastic and there is nothing on the market like it right now.
@@tattootheory With all the love brother, Acus is not wack FOR ME. It is hands down the FINEST machine I’ve used in 13yrs. Now, we all have our favorites, I can relate. However, I took a a peek at your review of the Chroma and I see an adjustable stroke machine. Why, in the middle of a piece, does one find the need to adjust the whole ass stroke? With my Acus, all I need to adjust is the m+ and it’s liked 3 different machines. 🙏
Coil machines are the best tattoo machines, end of sentence, period. That’s why rotary machines try so hard to get their machines to run like a coil. There really isn’t a machine out there that can line\color pack like a coil. A direct drive machine just will never be able to work as well. But the centri mp5 tactical and the acus m1 rotary and the Neuma 5 all have unique drive systems that get close and they keep pushing the envelope forward. The consistency, reliability, lightness, machine balance and plug and play aspects of a rotary are all reasons why the rotaries have taken over. When they finally create a machine that runs exactly like a coil and is as user friendly as a rotary, the angels will sing, trumpets will ring out and Jesus will glide down from the heavens to heal all men’s hearts. Because there will finally be one to rule them all!😁
I bought the Neuma 4 modus last year and really looked forward to use it as a liner（for 9-18Rl）. Not sure why but lining with the 20%(most ppl recommended) seems create more damage to the skin, my clients and myself tend to have a longer healing process. Maybe theres issue with my technique （slow hand speed） or using the wrong bearing arm, i ended up back to my old machine sadly. Any advice from the neuma user would be appreciated
I believe the lower the % you use the faster hand speed you want. Try lining with the 33% it’s perfect for lining with 7rl and up. I’m running around 6.5-7v and I line pretty slow compared to most people
Adjusting the stroke allows you to see your needle’s travel from shorter to longer. The M adjustments in the acus are only adjusting the speed of the motor. A longer stroke will hit harder and a shorter stroke will hit softer or so we assume. Every artist tattoos differently unfortunately the acus was not for me and only slowed me down. But being able to adjust stroke on the fly and adjust give on the fly in the stigma rotary chroma is great. If you like the acus then stick with it. I personally prefer to be able to switch my stroke in half a second and keep on tattooing. Remember that different areas of the body have different skin resistance to penetration of needles. If I’m working with a shorter stroke in the acus, for example the 3mm stroke and I am tattooing the chest heading into the arm pit. The skin in the arm pit is allot more sensitive and stretchy than the chest so in order to reduce needle drag one would want to switch to a longer stroke. The chroma allows me to do this on the fly without taking apart a machine and putting it back together. I used the acus for a while and honestly I didn’t find it any better than the any of the Cheyenne unlimited machines. I also reviewed the acus and was really hyped about it until I used it for a year and realized I was taking longer to tattoo my normal sessions. Either way the acus is a fantastic machine for some but for me it is unfortunately not. After 31 years of tattooing and watching technology progress I still love my coils still but the stigma rotary chroma just hits all the spots!!!
@@phirumyin3825 if you like lining with a coil then the Neuma or kubin is for you. The chroma is a rotary with advanced features for me it lines great. It is very quiet and smooth as well. But if your looking for the best liner get a Neuma
I think that traditional rotary machines are 45% in the skin and 45% out of the skin. And then theres 10% pause on both ends called the dwell. All cams from neuma solves the dwell issue. Dont quote me, i have to check my notes, but this is what i have thought. Also based on josh bowers notes on his site. With that being said, i find the 40% cam is the closest to a traditional rotary. But you are right, the 33% is the best for color. You can do so much layering and still get great heals. No other machine can compete with what it lets you get away with.
hello, a very good review, interesting machine, sorry I'm straying from the main subject, but do you have any information on the new adjustable stroke pen from the company Emillion? The Pen looks pretty good but no test or review information on it yet...? Thank you in advance for your answer
I use the inkclaw battery grip with classic direct drive machines, it can go down to 3v. I wish musotoku would make their extended range battery with the power wand connector that would be cool
Hello, I'm a tattooist from Korea who is watching your videos well. Excuse me, but may I ask you a few questions? I would really appreciate it if you could answer these questions. I was going to buy an EZ p3 Pro Turbo, but would it be worth paying a lot more to buy this machine? And I work on all genres, which do you recommend, 3.6 or 4.2? The questions can be difficult because I use a translator. Sorry
I like the Neuma 5 Flex more than the Turbo, and I’d recommend getting the 4.2 cams in the Neuma. The Turbo is still the best bang for your buck machine compared to anything else but the Neuma is a engineering masterpiece
@@adamdarklord Thank you! Lastly, this machine is a little difficult because it's too different from the existing machine. So even if I buy 4.2, if I buy 3.6 cams separately, will I get Stroke 3.6?
@@Woon_tat yes, if you order the machine in 4.2 stroke you will receive all the 4.2 stroke cams and if you would like you can also order the 3.6 cams separately. I got the machine in 4.2 stroke and I ended up buying all the 3.6 cams separately so I could try them all

It’s under priced in my opinion…. It might be the best tattoo machine on the market in terms of performance and engineering. It’s between this and the Acus… I’m still running tests
Nice review, I wish you would include more real details about the company and their politics .like the fact that they offer NO WARRANTY what so ever, that is a big issue to begin with. I bought a machine in march and used for a couple of weeks and then the motor broke down. Then I found out how difficult it is to deal with the company and the fact that they offer no actual warranty to any of the parts of the machine, LIKE NONE! The repair time its super long and expensive. Machine is okay but I would never buy from Neuma again! I did read that others had bad experiences with the company in the past but I thought they are exaggerating, so the mistake is on my part I guess by ignoring them.
Твои обзоры хорошие, но хорошего в этой тачке только блок питания. Больше я не вижу, за что платить за эту тачку, система не внушает доверия,по сравнению с другими производителями.
They have probably spent more time and money working on the Neuma system and development on this machine than Ambition has with its entire company… I just can’t agree man, it’s worth more money!
yeah i run an ambition lutin and i had a bishop packer wand before. it’s not in the same room as far as build quality goes. or support, because they refuse to fix my lutin which after 4 months just randomly stops mid tattoo. luckily i can still use it it does turn back on, but stopping while needle is in the skin is whack. also i’m not gonna ignore that the only reason they can charge is little is by just ripping off existing designs. they are just chinese copies. and no chinese machine can match anything the neuma does. or the sidewinder. both built by dudes in the industry working hard to advance their products. i’m saying up for both, never settling for another trash machine like i have now
Ambition is trash. All of those Chinese rip off companies are trash, and I say that from experience, spend the money on real products if you’re going to be tattooing clients for money in a professional setting
@@jakecremean9533I’m currently using the same machine. The Lutin. It’s ok so far, just got it to see how or if it would perform like a bishop. But it’s not bad, had it for a couple months now and did some big nice pieces with it. It gets the job done. I’m lining with this at 8.5-8.7 & shading at 7.5-7.9 with the 4.0 Cam in. What are you lining and shading at in voltage? Curious. Also what cam you using? I do black n grey realism. I would say for the price and how long I’ve been using it it’s decent. What’s your opinion so far
Neuma vs Acus at 300 likes 👀
Can’t wait! Could be close though

I was thinking to buy the vlad blad ultron 3 or the neuma 5 for lining 5-11RL and peppershading, any opinion to this comparison what could be better?
Oh yeah! Neuma vs Acus would be great for sure.

All i use is the 28% and 33% cams and i still love my neuma 4 macro. But ill say that the new Stigma Rotary Chroma is in a league of its own bruh!!!
I’ll be waiting for a review!

How is the Chroma when lining compared to a Dankubin or Neuma

I thought hz stayed consistent regardless of the M mode?
Says a guy who has Ai Generated images all over his Instagram claiming as those are his works.
The new critical torque terror edition looks awesome

OK, it's expensive but less than some machines... I'm curious to see the neuma vs acus test!
@@foumentrauxalexis7575 is it $800 or was I looking at the wrong machine? Just double checking.
Yeah Neuma vs Acus video is going to be awesome 😎
@@adamdarklord yes the pen with adjustable stroke from 2.6 to 4 and from 5 to 12v
Neuma 5 or Critical Torque?
Neuma 5
Does it run slower than the bishop wand? Those power packs don’t go low enough for me.
I can go pretty slow hard to say it might go a little more slow than the bishops. A wired power supply might be better for you!
I use the inkclaw battery grip with classic direct drive machines, it can go down to 3v. I wish musotoku would make their extended range battery with the power wand connector that would be cool
