One of kind tattoo rotary machine - Black Tortoise 

Inspired by the cyberpunk style and feel of traditional coils tattoo machines, Inkclaw created this one-of-a-kind tattoo machine - Black Tortoise. This rotary tattoo machine features a large stroke adjustment range and different utilizes for needles on bar users as well as tattoo cartridge needle users, which can suit single needle work, all the way up to the largest liners and magnum shaders. With the backside rear-driven and spring-flapping transmission structure, this tattoo machine is very strong off the tip with great follow-through. Black Tortoise provides a strong puncture feeling meanwhile this structure can also provide a kind of kickback feeling, which easily allows you to do a strong, precise "one pass" line as well as smooth shading, and color blending. 

3 different ways of hitting (knocking)

This tattoo machine is designed with 2 different armature bars. In the first one, you can apply screw knocking or single rubber knocking, the other one is solid for duo rubber knocking. 

• Screw knocking - wild sounds feel more powerful, a bit shock 
• Rubber knocking - still powerful but quiet a bit, less shock
• Duo Rubber Knocking - Super silent, almost no shock feel

About the stroke

First and most important thing, the stroke of Black Tortoise is determined by the length of the push rod on the stroke cam wheel as well as the springs, which cannot be compared to other rotaries, or direct drives as the hit is completely different. Adjustable stroke range: 2.5-4.5mm recommended preset will be around 4mm. Moreover, for screw knocking type, there are 2 positions to adjust the stroke, 1 to adjust the length of the knocking screw. 2 to adjust the length of the trip of the push rod on the back side cam wheel. For Rubber knocking or duo rubber knocking, the stroke can only be adjusted through the length of the trip on the push rod on the back-side cam wheel.

How to avoid ink splitting issue

Many people face the ink-splitting issue when doing a tattoo, or the same situation that happens at this moment. Many different reasons lead to ink-splitting issues. It could be too large a stroke, high frequency or high voltage, damaged needle nipple, needle bar too bent, or the bad quality of the needles itself, leading to the needle not fitting the needle tip.
