Franco Vescovi Bishop Rotary Tattoo Machines

This wonderfully made tattoo machine weighs 4 ounces and has a balanced designed to flow with the weight of the tube, thus giving an overall feel of virtual weightlessness. The Bishop Rotary tattoo machine has helped many artists with wrist pain issues and carpal tunnel syndrome cramps, allowing them to work hours longer than they could have previously.

The Bishop Rotary is machined using billet aircraft aluminum on state of the art CNC machines, then hand polished, insuring tight tolerances and excellent finishes. Each tattoo machine is hand assembled to insure precise fit and function. Each Bishop Rotary Tattoo Machine is anodized to aircraft industry standards, both for finish and ware resistance in friction areas. We use Swiss made motors to generate a linear motion of the needle. The Bishop utilizes a "Needle Clip" eliminating the old standard rubber band to create the down force on the needle. The clip holds the needle in place and eliminates any lateral motion in the needle. This allows the artist to pick away at those ultra fine details.




All of our Bishops have the new SWISS MAXON Motor and will run one volt lower than the older Mabuchi Motors in our previous machines.
For color packing and shading, run the machine between 7.5 - 8.5 volts depending on your hand speed and style. For lining, run the machines between 8 - 9 volts depending on your hand speed and style.
Determine what feels right to you as the artist and remember with anything, its going to take a few tattoos to get used to, so certainly remain using the machine, and like tons of artists you will agree this machine hands down gets tattooing done up to 30% faster due to consistent punctures per second as well as healing 30% faster. Each machine has the only lifetime guarantee offered in the industry and we will warranty any part anytime. We are serious about our reputation and we back up this machine with the lifetime warranty.
Other rotary companies offer adjustable give, but we don't believe this is best for rotaries. We have a spring that offers just the right amount of give and at that point, you use your hand speed and hand pressure to adjust your give. This wa, its more natural and a better way to learn rotaries. I have called this term "Organic Give".

Stigma Hyper V2

The Hyper V2 is a semi-rotary machine using swashplate technology and a vertically placed motor for low vibration and quiet operation. Perfectly CNC machined from a solid block of aircraft aluminum (alloy 7075) and weighing only 115 grams (3.7 oz.), the Hyper V2 rotary tattoo machine is ergonomic and well balanced allowing for easy handling and flexibility. The Hyper V2 features an adjustable “give” screw on the top of the armature. This screw allows for the machine to be fine tuned for lining, shading and coloring applications. To adjust the machine on the fly, simply turn the control screw clockwise for less give and counterclockwise for more give. Less give will provide a firmer hit, preferable for lining and single pass applications. More give will provide a softer hit, making it perfect for shading and multi-pass applications. The available stroke length of the Stigma Hyper V2 tattoo machine is also determined by the position of the “give” screw. When the adjustment screw is turned all the way out to its softest setting, the machine has a 4.7mm stroke length. When the adjustment screw is turned all the way in to its firmest setting, stroke length is 3.5mm. Machine speed is set by increasing or decreasing the voltage at the power supply. The Hyper V2’s operational voltage range is 7-12 volts, providing an approximate speed range of 50 to 166 cycles per second (CPS). Note: the speed and duty cycle of electric motor powered machines is not currently measurable with an Eikon EMS Power Supply. With the technology behind Stigma rotary tattoo machines, you can work much longer, with more comfort and less noise. Switching to a Hyper V2 is easy – they come standard with connections for either a clipcord or a RCA connector cord. They are also designed to use all the same needles, tubes, grips and other accessories as coil machines. The Hyper V2 is compatible with the EMS300 (using rotary mode) and ES 200 tattoo power supplies. Please note that the tube, tip, and other  accessories shown in the photo are sold separately and do not come with the machine.
