Brushed motors designed for tattoo machines
Tattoo artists hold a lot of responsibility. While a bad tattoo can be covered up or removed, these aren’t easy fixes — and a client who’s sat painfully through a session won’t be pleased at a bad result. To help tattooists deliver the best experience to their customers, investing in the right equipment is key. In this case study, we’ll explore how the EGO Vertex V3 Plus tattoo machine, driven by DC motors from FAULHABER, is the ideal solution for tattooists looking for a lightweight, accurate machine.
Introducing the EGO Vertex V3 Plus
Regarded as one of the best all round rotary tattoo machines on the market, the EGO Vertex V3 Plus has progressed from its earlier ancestors into a superb, lightweight, robust and reliable day to day runner, partly thanks to the inclusion of high-performance DC motors from FAULHABER.
EGO’s rotary tattoo machine has been designed and made by world renowned tattoo artist Bez of Triplesix Studios, Sunderland. Bez invented EGO’s patented “power triangle” system designed to replicate the movement of a coil machine. These “power triangles” are coloured triangular pieces of rubber. Each triangle has a different colour denoting its density and hardness.
Yellow triangles are the softest in the range, gradually becoming harder with green, purple, red and blue and finally black. By combining these triangles in a variety of patterns, tattooists can configure the machine exactly the way they want it in terms of give and throw. Essentially, this triangle system helps to replicate the front and back spring system from coil machines, without the heavy weight and noise associated with a coil machine. It also makes the EGO highly customisable for different techniques such as lining and shading.
