How to use
- Fully charge the two 18500 batteries before first use — they are interchangeable, so you can have one spare ready for long sessions.
- Sanitize the work area and machine body, then apply a disposable protective barrier (film/sleeve) to the grip and the rest of the device before bringing it into the sterile area.
- Mount the compatible standard needle cartridge, ensuring it is properly fixed in the pen mechanism before starting.
- Adjust the stroke within the 2.6–4.0 mm range, depending on the technique: lower values for fine lines, higher values towards 4.0 mm for color packing.
- Set the voltage from the 4 levels displayed on the screen, starting from a lower value and gradually increasing, testing first on artificial skin.
- For wired work, use the included RCA adapter to connect the machine to the power source; for wireless mode, check the active battery level on the display.
- Navigate through the menu levels by pressing the '+' and '-' buttons simultaneously; for advanced settings, consult the user manual that accompanies the product.
- After each session, disassemble the components that come into contact with the skin, dispose of single-use consumables, and clean/disinfect the machine body according to the studio's hygiene protocol.
Tips from us
- Alternate the two 18500 batteries for very long sessions — the 15-20 hours of continuous autonomy is based precisely on their interchangeability.
- Monitor the display during work: the machine promptly signals overvoltages, current instability, or blockages — if a warning appears, stop and check the settings.
- For fine line, stay at the lower end of the stroke range (towards 2.6 mm), and for color packing, increase towards the 4.0 mm end.
- Always check the correct fixation of the standard cartridge before starting, for efficient transfer of motor movement to the needle.
- Keep the user manual handy for the three menu levels and customization options — not all settings are obvious just from the +/- buttons.
Warning: Needle cartridges and any consumables that come into direct contact with the skin are single-use — do not reuse between clients. Apply disposable protective barriers to the machine body before each session and replace them for each client. Disinfect machine surfaces after each use according to standard tattoo hygiene protocols (gloves, hand washing/disinfection, proper disposal of sharps waste). Follow the instructions in the user manual regarding charging the 18500 batteries to avoid overcharging or using unsuitable chargers.
