Complete guide: Inkmachines nr. 270 – Regular to Neo Kit
Part no. 270 is the original InkMachines conversion kit for tattoo machines from the Cobra and Scorpion X2 families, from the standard cartridge system to the Neo system, with magnetic actuation without direct mechanical contact between the mechanism and the needle. It is intended for tattoo artists who already own such a machine and want access to Neo technology without buying new equipment. If your machine is in the standard configuration, in addition to this kit you also need a grip dedicated to Neo cartridges.
How to use
- First check compatibility: the kit is designed for InkMachines machines from the Cobra and Scorpion X2 ranges, in the standard cartridge configuration.
- If your machine is the regular version, also get a grip dedicated to Neo cartridges — without it the conversion cannot be completed.
- Turn off the machine and completely remove the needle/cartridge before any intervention on the mechanism.
- Replace the components indicated in the kit (black magnet, blue magnet, counterweight) in the corresponding positions, following the manufacturer's instructions included with the part or available on the InkMachines website.
- Mount the Neo grip and a compatible Neo cartridge on the converted machine.
- Test the needle movement in the air (no skin, no client) to confirm that the magnetic mechanism operates smoothly, without friction or unusual noises.
- If at any point you want to return to the standard system, reassemble the original parts — the conversion is reversible in both directions.
Tips from us
- Keep the disassembled parts from the standard configuration in a labeled bag, so you can return to the original version at any time.
- After conversion, use only compatible InkMachines Neo cartridges — standard cartridges do not work properly with the magnetic mechanism.
- If you have no experience with disassembling the machine mechanism, seek help from a technician or first consult the manufacturer's instructions.
- Test the machine in the air after each conversion (standard → Neo or reverse) before the first client session.
- Periodically check the tightness of the magnetic components, especially if you frequently alternate between the two configurations.
Warning: Any intervention on the tattoo machine mechanism must be done with the equipment turned off and without a needle or cartridge mounted. After conversion, clean and disinfect the components that come into contact with the grip or work area, according to the studio's standard hygiene protocol. Use only the original InkMachines part no. 270 for conversion — improvised or incompatible parts may affect the machine's operation and safety.
