Choosing the Right Tattoo Machine

The choice between a rotary and a coil tattoo machine depends on the artist’s personal preference and the type of work being performed. Both types have distinct advantages:

Rotary Tattoo Machines

• Smooth & Precise: Less vibration, gentler on the skin, reducing trauma and aiding healing.
• Versatility: Suitable for lining, shading, and filling, making them highly adaptable.
• Lightweight & Quiet: Simpler construction makes them lighter and less noisy, improving comfort for both artist and client.
• Low Maintenance: Fewer mechanical components mean less maintenance compared to coil machines.

Coil Tattoo Machines

• Control & Traditional Feel: Many artists prefer the feel and response of coil machines for enhanced control.
• Effective for Different Styles: Ideal for creating deep, sharp lines and precise details.
• Customisation: Adjustable settings for different tattoo styles and techniques.
• Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than rotary machines.

Which Tattoo Machine is Best for Lining?

For crisp and precise lines, many artists prefer coil tattoo machines specifically designed for outlining. These machines offer enhanced stability and control, which is crucial for linework.

Coil Machines for Lining

• Superior Stability: Ensures straight and clean lines.
• Precise Control: Allows better management of depth and pressure for defined, consistent lines.
• Custom Adjustments: Artists can fine-tune settings for personalised tattooing.

While rotary machines are also capable of producing fine lines, coil machines remain the preferred choice for highly detailed and controlled linework.

What Voltage Should a Tattoo Machine Have?

The ideal voltage for a tattoo machine depends on multiple factors, including the machine type, tattooing technique, and artist’s preference. There is no universal voltage setting, but general recommendations include:

• Rotary Machines: Around 7V for filling and 5-7V for shading, depending on the required delicacy.
• Coil Machines: Typically lower voltages, starting at 4V for filling and 4.5-6V for shading and dot work.

Adjusting voltage based on machine response and skin reaction is crucial. Experience and experimentation help artists find the optimal setting for each tattooing task.

Best Tattoo Machine for Beginners

Choosing the right tattoo machine is essential for beginners. Here are the two main options:

Rotary Tattoo Machines

Known for their versatility and ease of use, rotary machines are ideal for beginners. They are lighter, quieter, and cause less trauma to the skin, making them a great option for learning.

Coil Tattoo Machines

While traditionally favoured by experienced artists due to their precision and control, coil machines can be more challenging for beginners. However, mastering a coil machine early on can help develop strong technical skills.

For beginners, rotary machines are generally recommended due to their ease of use and lower learning curve. However, experimenting with both types can help artists determine which suits their style best.
