Dragonhawk Extreme Rotary Tattoo Machine Carbon Steel Machine for Tattoo Artists (Black)

So I've been on the regular machines so far and before going on the high-end rotarys, I wanted to try out a cheaper one first. Found this cool specimen on the wide web. I had some serious doubts. So I read the reviews and as majority of them suggested it, especially if you're the first-timer with rotary machines, I went with it.They were right. I can't compare it with high-end ones because I haven't tried them, but for a rotary-virgin --- here's the one for you. Looks professional, decent packaging, good stability, clip cord grips tightly, perfect tightener for the tube, needle stops at inwards position majority of the times, not too loud.For this price, definitely a good buy.

I've been "loyal to the coil" for over 30 years. I decided to try something "new" and ordered this machine. I went over an old outline on my shin to test it out....It's amazing! It being so quiet and light was weird for me at first (felt like I was cheating) but I'm totally impressed. It doesn't splatter ink, don't have to refill my tube as often, and the line work is super steady! I even think it hurt less! I can't wait for my next client to get here so I can really play!

I loved the machine absolutely amazing for the price I’ve just started doing tattoos regularly but I have to say this was a nice shock for the price I was expecting something like the dragon fly clones I had but was highly shocked at how well and quiet this machine was other reviews about sound I could barley hear mine … color packing was amazing and line work was on point .. only issue I have is I with there was better areas to put the lubricant on the machine because I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly .. other than that I can’t complain at all about this one tip I will say is when adjusting your needle depth it’s little difficult to figure out at first run the machine and set it so you can see the whole stroke depth because you can’t push it down by hand easily I plan to use cartridges soon and will update but bar needles spot on !!

This is my first review for any tattoo equipment here on Amazon. I was looking for a rotary that wasn't small and seemed like a toy like some of the firefly clones are. There was not a lot of information about this machine on the web except from people selling it. I took a chance. I am really glad I did. It came in a nice box. Inside the box there was a baggy with an extra spring and an allen wrench. On top of that, there was a little bottle of super lube. Ok, so the presentation seemed legit. I hoped the machine could live up to that. I clipped my cord on and started a 5v. Ran super quiet and smooth as silk. I turned the Eikon power supply up to 10v and it was still quiet and running smooth. Well the proof is in the pudding as they say, so I loaded it up with a liner. Brought out my liner ink and went over some older line work on my leg. I gotta say, this thing laid ink at 8v better than some coils I have used. I am impressed. What about packing color or shading. Well I hooked it up with a medium sized mag and it packed color like a champ. No trauma to the skin and efficient too. Now for the critical test of shading. Could it create smooth transitions and keep the trauma to a bear minimum? Well the answer is hell yeah!In conclusion, this machine is a nice machine for lining, shading and packing in the color. The tube grip worked well, the needle bar clip holds the needles right where they need to be. If you are looking for a rotary, this is a great choice.

Alright everything worked smooth . Good rig . But i can’t see my cps , cycles per second , or my duty on my bronc tattooing power supply. But all and all it works good . Simple to use . Sorry I don’t have a pic I don’t have my equipment set up . It’s all put away right now .

It's a solid machine for lining and shading except for the cheap compression spring for the slider. First one snapped in half after only using it 4 or 5 times then put the replacement spring in only to have it snap in half the very next session!! Now I can't find the same size/gauge replacement spring so I pulled the flint spring out of a Bic lighter (relatively similar size) cut it to length and Jimmy-rigged it onto the base of the slider but sad to say that proved only to be a very temporary and knowingly jenky fix.Company doesn't seem to offer replacements for purchase and locating one with the same specs elsewhere has been a lost cause as well.......so now it's just a disappointing paperweight and a vivid reminder that life will bring your spirits up higher than ever before thanks to a new promising piece of machinery for your craft but then suddenly flip that happy little ascension on ya by taking a vigorously swift yet hefty dump directly on your hopes and dreams.That's my take on this machine anyway. Cheers

So far... after about 20 hours of work. This machine is turning out to be a stable solid machine. I have been running it on 6.2 volts and I feel this is where it runs the best. These rotaries were origanlly designed to be color packers and running it slower seems like the trick. So for those of you who have written reviews about it...try turning it down. Now if you run fast line and have a fast hand speed then this would not be the perfect machine for you. Could you make it work by slowing down your hand speed. Yes.... but... for coloring packing it ok, Not a good choice for grey shading . If your starting out... and are not comfortable with a coil, as far as speed and tuning. Then this is a good choice. Run it with the adjustable cartridge grip and some good cartridges and your progress should move forward. It is not a RCA. So. Good clip cord and power supply, keep the voltages down and all should be good. Has good weight in the hand if your accustomed to a heavier coil.THE SPRINGS SEEM TO LET GO AFTER ABOUT 30 HOURS OF USE. THIS IS HAPPENED TO BOTH THE ORIGINAL AND THE REPLACEMENT SPRING. Unless you keep it the voltage down the spring will fail. Not good choice for grey shading.

great tattoo machine and pretty fast shipping

I purchased this green extreme Dragonhawk because the color looked good. I have the black one and both are great power horses. Dragonhawk rotaries have not been disappointing. Will definitely be coming back for more items.

Good feedback
