Stigma Amen V6 tattoo machine guns

Product Description

The AMEN features a new drive system, which allows the artist to change between strokers to determine the cycle of the stroke. This means the artist can choose exactly how much time the needle spends up or down on each cycle.

For example:

Black Stroker (Liner): 3.8mm Stroke Length needle spends *5% out of the tube (in the skin) vs. *5% inside the tube. The following video will clearly demonstrate how each cycle is performed when using the Black Stroker. Please note that the shape of the Black Stroker has been modified in the video, to clearly demonstrate the motion that is happening on each cycle. The actual Black Stroker you receive with the machine is a different shape to this:

Gray Stroker (All-Purpose): 3.5mm Stroke Length needle spends *5% out of the tube (in the skin) vs. *5% inside the tube.

Silver Stroker (Shader): 3.0mm Stroke Length needle spends *0% out of the tube (in the skin) vs. *0% inside the tube. The following video will clearly demonstrate how each cycle is performed when using the Silver Stroker:

Finally, we can clearly see when put side by side how using the different strokers affects how the machine operates, performing optimally depending on your desired needs:

Please note, the three demonstration videos above have been slowed down in super slow motion to enable you to see how the stroker system is working per cycle depending on what stroker is attached to the machine.

The strokers are very easily interchangeable and to distinguish between them, they are colour coded and laser marked with information.

The AMEN comes pre-loaded with the black stroker, as the AMEN has been designed to line like no other machine, whether be rotary OR coil! However, using any of the other strokers makes it fit for all purposes. The AMEN comes complete with all 3 strokers included.

With the 3.8mm lining stroker and with the 3.5mm all-purpose stroker, the needles spend more time in the tube and less time in the skin, causing less trauma and effortless penetration. When the needles move down and up to penetrate the skin, they move faster than on standard rotaries.

The AMEN functions like a standard rotary when the 3.0mm shading stroker is installed. The shading stroker is recommended for shading. It has a *0% down stroke action and a *0% up stroke action, making it optimal for shading.

The AMEN remains compatible with existing MotorPlugs; you will just need to replace the stroke excenter with the new hex spinner (which is provided with all AMEN purchases). Again, this is changed within a matter of seconds using the allen key provided. On the AMEN, the stroke-length (hub) changes automatically in combination with the give adjustment and with the speed (volts):

When you increase the speed (by volts) you get longer strokes.

When you decrease the speed (by volts) you get shorter strokes.

When adjusted for lining you get shorter but harder strokes.

When adjusted for shading you get longer but softer strokes.
