Complete guide: Critical Tattoo Atom X Power Supply

The Critical Atom X power supply is a professional, ultracompact power unit for tattoo machines. Its role is to precisely regulate and maintain the voltage at which the machine operates, with fine adjustment in steps of 0.1 V and a digital display for reading the value. It is aimed at artists who want exact control and a small format, easy to use both in the studio and at conventions or guest spots.

How to use

  1. Place the power supply on a stable surface; the built-in neodymium magnets hold it firmly if the surface is metallic.
  2. Connect the included power cable to the mains. The input is universal (110–240 V, 50/60 Hz), so it can be used in any country with the appropriate plug adapter.
  3. Connect the tattoo machine to the output on the right side using a standard RCA cable (1/4” mono jack).
  4. If using a foot pedal, connect it to the input on the left side. It is not mandatory: the power supply has an override mode that starts the machine even without a pedal.
  5. Turn on the power supply using the central button.
  6. Adjust the voltage using the increase/decrease buttons and read the value on the display; save two favorite values in the two presets and switch quickly between them.
  7. For fine control, adjust in steps of 0.1 V; the indicator changes color depending on the voltage, as a quick visual reference.
  8. Choose the desired pedal mode (maintained or momentary) or activate the Jump Start function for machines that start harder.

Tips from us

  • Save in the two presets the settings for two different machines or techniques (e.g., lining and shading) to switch instantly.
  • Non-volatile memory retains the presets even if power is interrupted, so you don't have to adjust from scratch at every startup.
  • If you prefer to work without a pedal, rely on the override mode; the pedal remains useful when you want foot control.
  • Use Jump Start only for machines that start hard; for rotary machines that start smoothly it is not necessary.
  • Check the voltage on the display and test on artificial skin before the session to confirm the machine's behavior.
Warning: Being an electrical device used near the work area, protect it from cross-contamination: cover the power supply and buttons with hygienic film/barrier during the session and change the barrier between clients. Do not spray or pour disinfectant directly on the electronics or the display — disconnect the power supply from the mains and wipe the casing with a cloth slightly moistened with surface disinfectant. Do not use it with damaged cables or plugs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Atom and Atom X?

According to the description, Atom X brings an adjustment resolution of 0.1 V, two voltage presets for quick switching, stronger neodymium magnets, short-circuit protection, and a voltage range of 0–17 V (compared to 1.5–17 V on Atom). Both models retain the ultracompact format.

Is it compatible with my tattoo machine?

Yes. According to the specifications, Atom X is compatible with all tattoo machines, both coil and rotary. Connection is made with a standard RCA cable to the output on the right side of the power supply.

Do I need a pedal for it to work?

No. The power supply has an override mode (pedal override) that starts the machine without a pedal. If you prefer foot control, you can connect a pedal to the left input; you have two operating modes available — maintained and momentary.

How do I clean and maintain it properly?

Cover it with protective film/barrier during work and change the barrier between clients. For cleaning, disconnect it from the mains and wipe the aluminum casing with a cloth slightly moistened with surface disinfectant — do not pour or spray liquid directly on the buttons or the display.

What voltage should I use?

It depends on the machine and the working technique, so there is no universal value. Atom X allows adjustment from 0 to 17 V in fine steps of 0.1 V; start from a lower value, observe the machine's behavior on artificial skin, and increase gradually until you get the desired operation. The two presets help you remember the settings that work well.

Can I use it at conventions or abroad?

Yes. The input is universal (110–240 V, 50/60 Hz), so it works in most countries; you might only need a physical plug adapter for the local plug type. The ultracompact format and fixing magnets make it practical for guest spots and conventions.

Product description

Critical Tattoo Atom X Power Supply Critical Tattoo strives to provide tattoo artists with American-made products that are innovative, elegant, and above-all satisfactory. The Critical Tattoo® Atom X Power Supply is easy to operate, replacing the control knob from the former Atom Power Supply with the user-friendly buttons from the CX models. It has a center button to turn the machine on and off, two voltage preset buttons, and two buttons to increase or decrease voltage during operation. The Atom X also features the same unique voltage indicator as the Atom Power Supply, which changes color according to its voltage setting. It has a precision regulated set point voltage ranging from 0 up to 17dvc. This power supply also has a voltage readout display screen and a 0.1 adjustment resolution. The Atom X Power Supply has 1/4” mono jack inputs for standard RCA clipcords and foot pedals if desired (although a foot pedal is not required to operate, as this power supply has a pedal override mode). It has two foot pedal modes — maintained and momentary — as well as a jumpstart mode for hard starting tattoo machines. The Atom X Power Supply is compatible with all coil and rotary machines. It features one output for tattoo machines on the right side of the power supply; the left input is for hooking up your tattoo foot pedal.
