The Hummingbird Pen Wireless V12 is a rotary tattoo machine, pen-style, with wireless power from an internal 2100 mAh battery — designed for artists who want freedom of movement, without the classic power cord (clip cord). It has an adjustable stroke, fine voltage control in 0.1 V increments (control range 5.0 V-11.0 V, output 5.0 V-12.0 V) and a Swiss DC motor with a no-load speed of up to 11000 rpm and maximum efficiency of 95%. It is a versatile machine, suitable both for artists who work mobile and for those who want a single adjustable machine for different techniques.
How long does the battery last on a full charge?▾
According to manufacturer tests, the battery life is 6.0-10.0 hours of working time on a full charge, depending on the settings used. Full recharging takes 2-3 hours via a Type-C cable with fast charging.
What voltage should I use to start?▾
The manufacturer recommends a working range of 5.5 V-7.5 V, with fine adjustment in 0.1 V increments and output between 5.0 V and 12.0 V. Start from the recommended range and adjust gradually according to technique (lining vs. shading/color) and how the skin reacts during testing.
What needle cartridges are compatible?▾
The technical sheet in this listing does not explicitly detail the needle attachment system. We recommend checking directly on the product page or asking before ordering to ensure it is compatible with the needles/cartridges you already have in stock.
How do I sanitize and maintain the machine between sessions?▾
Cover the body with a disposable protective barrier for each client, use only sterile, disposable needles/cartridges, and finally disinfect the machine exterior according to the studio protocol. The internal battery and electronics are protected by avoiding moisture and mechanical shocks — do not submerge the machine in disinfectant liquids.
Is it suitable for beginners as well, or only for experienced artists?▾
Being a rotary machine with adjustable stroke and fine voltage control, it offers flexibility both for someone who wants a single versatile machine at the start and for artists who want to fine-tune behavior for different techniques. For a first purchase, it is useful to also ask for the opinion of an experienced artist when setting up the initial settings.
What advantage does the wireless version have over a classic wired machine?▾
Power comes from the internal 2100 mAh battery integrated into the body, so you no longer have the power cord (clip cord) that can get tangled or caught. However, you need to monitor the battery life (6.0-10.0 hours) and recharge the machine (2-3 hours) between sessions to avoid running out of battery during work.
