Among the four basic categories of tattoo machines, wireless models deserve special attention. Yes, they are quite expensive, but in this case, the higher price is fully justified. A wireless tattoo machine guarantees very high comfort of work, among other things, by eliminating the problem of constantly tangled cables. What makes such a machine a good choice? Which models from Ars Tattoo's offer are worth considering? Be sure to check out our guide. Brief characteristics of wireless tattoo machines Wireless tattoo machines are nothing more than rotary machines or pen-type machines that have been equipped with batteries, allowing them to work without the need to connect to a power supply. This opens up entirely new possibilities for the tattoo artist, providing them with complete freedom of movement during the session. Although at Ars Tattoo we generally recommend wireless machines to experienced tattoo artists, especially those working on commercial projects (freelancers, professional studios, etc.), the advantages of mobile models will also be appreciated by beginner artists. We are referring primarily to: Freedom of work - the absence of cables greatly facilitates work, especially when tattooing hard-to-reach areas, allowing for any position, even acrobatic ones. Long battery life - branded wireless tattoo machines have efficient cells allowing up to 6-8 hours of uninterrupted work. This makes such models perfect for large, complex projects, without the need for charging during the session. Ergonomics - especially wireless pen-type machines fit perfectly in the hand, are light and great to work with, which directly translates into the quality of project execution. Advanced functions - some wireless machines, such as those from the FK Irons Flux Max line, have a function of "learning" the tattoo artist's style and optimizing work according to the artist's individual preferences. Types of batteries When choosing a wireless tattoo machine, it is worth paying attention to the type of battery used. We distinguish here models with: Built-in battery - the advantage is a large battery capacity, which allows for long sessions on a single charge, but later battery replacement can be quite problematic. Replaceable battery modules - this is a popular choice due to the possibility of quick battery replacement without a long break in work. Replaceable batteries - such machines use standard "AA" type rechargeable batteries, which has the advantage that the cells are easily accessible, relatively inexpensive, and you can always have them in reserve. Although the operating time on a single charge is of secondary importance for beginner artists, tattoo machines - especially from this price range - are not bought for a short time. Consider that over time you will acquire better and better skills, and your sessions will start to lengthen - so it is worth investing in a machine that will guarantee the longest possible battery life right away. Ars Tattoo Expert Advice: Wireless tattoo machines also differ in the control system used: classic button, touch screen, one-button control with hand movement (such a solution is offered by, among others, the Zenith Infinite 2 machine).
