Hey man. I appreciate all the work you put in reviewing all these machines! I’d love to see a review of the new Axys Valhalla pen. All the reviews I’ve seen so far seem sponsored. Maybe a comparison video of all the pen style rotaries? Thanks again.

So I just got my stigma thorn and my first impression is very good. It is so small, it's just amazing how small it is. :D I was worried about the cons that you mentioned but the sound is not that loud. I used to have cheyenne thunder and compared to spirit, sure it is loud but in reality it's not by much. It is a little bit louder than thunder though. I have yet to test it in a full day session and see how it feels with vibration because it is noticeable. It should be fine though, it's not an earthquake unlike from some coils. P.s. I used to work with 2cm grip so this one is a bit bigger and with no way to change it though it is very ergonomic so I feel like I could get used to it.

Hi Anthony, first of all, wonderful tattoos and master piece! Few, questions, i made "engraving" tattoo, grapic only with lines and dots and wip(like wip so much!!). i really want to buy a pen witch big grips….but witch one?! :) i use cheyenne since many years, i really appreciate powerful and strong machines like new thunder and so, i'am hesitating beetween lot of them.. which machines too choose, according to you? Sol Nova? Stigma Thorn? Or….Something else?

Thank you for the review! So this would be a good complement to push lines on more elastic skin - stomach/ribs? Mostly working with Rotary Works (UK) cart machine at the moment. Love it, but feeling I would need something with more punch sometimes. Mainly doing linework. Many are into DK but I find them super loud, dubbel the price and hard to get! Maybe this would be something in between? :) Thanks

Great review! Thank you

Thanks for the review im not worried about how loud it is as long as it can pull solid lines without feeling like its to slow i dont like going over the same line multiple times

Thanks for the review. Besides the loud noise which machine do you like best , the Thorn or the classic Cheyenne Pen?

Roberto Talavera hey! That’s actually a really tough question! I’d probably have to give a slight edge to the Hawkpen, aside from the noise difference the hawkpen is a long proven machine with a robust warranty so it’s safer, in terms of performance they’re quite similar with the hawkpen being a little more comfortable to work with because of the lack of vibration. Both are great machines but if I could only pick one it’d be the hawkpen

Hey. Can you tell how machine works after few months? You still have it? Motor still running smooth?

Any chance of you doing a review on axys valhalla? Love your reviews.

Axys Valhalla is amazing mashine, I loved to work with it, but it got broken after few months. It had very common issue, when it randomly has weird sound in motor like there would be some liquid there. I sent it to fix, and it cost me £60 to send it to USA which they didn't want to cover. My coworkers also had same issue with this machine.

I received my thorn that I ordered based off this review! Noticed one of the two springs are missing. It is supposed to have two inner springs?

Thank you very much for all your videos, I'm really thinking about moving to a pen machine and I was looking for the best options and you have them all, maybe you have some comment for the Stigma Spear? It would be nice to know something more about that machine too. Thanks again and all the best for you.

Alex Sánchez thanks for watching man, I probably won’t be doing anything with the spear, I tend to not like machines with adjustable give, they don’t hit hard enough for me and they’re generally slower than their no give counterparts.

Intrepid Tattoo Thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it, you´re giving us always the truth in this business and the best way to choose between the products. Regards.

How loud would you say this machine is compared to others? would you say its louder (or shakier) than other pen style machines you have seen? I just got one and it seems a little louder than expected. Also noticed the vibration from this one is a little more noticeable than others I have.

Does this vibrate more then the nuema four and would you recommend this over nuema four

Hello , i am a begginer at tattoing, just bought my first machine stigma thorn. I would like to ask you whats the best voltage for doing lines and shading? Thank you !

Ivana Mladenovska sorry I don’t do instructional or “how to” tattoo videos, that’s what proper apprenticeships are for. I always recommend anyone wanting to learn the proper way to tattoo seek out an apprenticeship.

Hey, thanks for the reviews, what Do you think about the stigma Stylist and ez filter v2 pen?

Is it more comfortable than bishop wand ?

Hey, awesome review! Just like i thoght, Stigma pen style machines tend to vibrate to much for my liking. Had the spear and the stylist. So thanks for helping decide not to buy this machine. I really hope you could do a review on the Ego Polygon. Kind of a cool machine and I would really like to know your opinion on it.

@@ivostankovartWell, I would say that I do not care for the "give" but that's something I don't care about in any machine. The vibration and sound on the spear is in my opinion basically the same as the stylist and obviously on the Thorn. I mean they are good machines, they do what their supposed to, but for me there are better choices, but for some more 💰

Tough call, Valhalla for the adjustability options but I’d definitely choose the stigma force over either of the others, it’s just a better machine all around.

Blabla Bla it’s actually great for shading! It’s definitely not the softest hitting machine on the market but the speed really makes it ideal for nice smooth shading

It used to be listed as a maxon, if it’s not now they may have changed supplier for this one, it wouldn’t be the first time covid has disrupted a production factory I’d suspect that’d be a cause for change.

Ian J Watson I just reread my response, it’s wasn’t meant to be as douchey as it came out I apologize! I was laughing about your “wiggly needle be no good” comment, that shits hilarious! I was in the middle of a tattoo when I replied and I read the rest of it wrong my bad. I did coil for lining and rotary for shading for years too it took me a while to find a fast enough rotary and I preferred regular needles at the time too but once I got used to carts it’s hard to go back. I really like DaVinci cartridges form Bishop, super consistent and nice and stable even at crazy speeds but to be honest very little beats the Cheyenne carts for being basically perfect in every way, I just hate the price of them!

Sounds like piece of junk
