Stingray X2 Rotary Tattoo Machine by Ink Machines Sweden

Ink Machines took what they’ve learned from building machines for years and improved on the original Stingray rotary tattoo machine to bring artists the Stingray X2. The X2 model features aircraft quality 7075 aluminum construction likes its predecessor. It is incredibly lightweight at only 90g and ergonomically designed with reduced vibrations.

The Stingray X2 has an all new high energy efficient Swiss motor with a 6W mechanical output. This new motor was exclusively designed for the X2 models, making this Stingray more powerful than ever. The Stingray X2 features more advantages than other machine types for easier and more absolute control, one of them being the new patent pending Desmodromic roller cam system. This system gives the artist full linear control at variable speeds while still being able to produce a defined needle motion. This ability makes the Stingray X2 ideal for lining and color packing work. The Stingray X2 comes with a new stainless steel 4mm stroke cam that is designed to be more durable and have improved performance. The new Desmodromic system allows the artist to control the characteristics and behavior of the machine and needle speed with changing the cam. The Stingray X2 also features an improved stable give adjustment with an all new cap and built-in damper.

Most power supplies can be used with the Stingray X2, which has both an RCA and clip cord connection. The Stingray X2 is also wireless ready and compatible with the Ink Machines RPS-600 Wireless Power SupplyOpens a new window. It accepts standard grips, tubes, and needles, but with quick access to the stay up spring, the Stingray X2 can be easily converted to use cartridge needles.

The Stingray X2 is available in four unique colors: Blazing Gold, Cyanide Cyan, Evil Black, and Slime Green. Each machine comes with an oil lubricant and Allen key kit.

Please Note: Before using cartridge needles with this machine, the stay-up spring must be removed to prevent strain on the motor. The Stingray X2 model features a lid in the frame, which permits convenient access to the stay-up spring. Thus, artists can easily remove the spring and switch between standard and cartridge needles.
