    Bro…I just happened to come across this machine/company back in late November/Early December 22…Literally sold my FK Exo, FK Flux Max, InkMachines Cobra, Neuma 4, and Axys Valhalla…just for this machine. I wanted to start over, and invested so much hope and faith into finally finding the perfect machine for me…and then it came. And then i was pumped. And then i loved it. And then i hated it. And loved it. And hated it. And now….I wouldn’t get rid of it for the world. Personally I think there is a fairly steep learning curve with, exactly like what you said about matching hand speed..and also pressure. It’s a fine line between unreal smoothness and oops went a hair too hard/long there….i think this is SUCH an artists machine that when finally understood and mastered, there isn’t anything else you need. I’ve hear people say its a good beginner machine, but honestly i dont agree..I think its one of those things that requires quite a bit of understanding and experience in order to run it, and yourself, in just the right way to get the most unbelievably best version of whatever you’re attempting to do. And color. Holy shit. This has sped and stepped my color game up so much.
    The only thing i wish was different was that it wasn’t completely round so it wouldn’t roll, potentially falling off station. Maybe a small notch.
    The attention to design and detail, and more importantly the total fulfillment of “function over form”…it couldn’t be more thought out…besides the micro usb plug instead of c, or a screen with slightly more info…maybe just session timer or something…but this gimmick free, and a grown up boys machine..
    Great vids man keep it up!

  • @bullsheeptattoo
    @bullsheeptattoo ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Great vid bro! I would rate them in a pretty similar way myself. Congrats for your honest videos. Just a small correction. The motor modes in Acus change the torque and not the give, which means that what changes is how hard the needle penetrates the skin and not the voltage. For example, you can lower the voltage a lot but keep a high torque, which for wip shading is very useful because you'll get strong but widely spaced dots. With give you can't do that, because by lower the voltage you also lower the torque . No other machine has this feature.

    Hi ! Thank you again for this video ! I already ask you on your last video which one is better to do fineline tattoos between Unlimited 3.5 and the Acus M1 but I think your choice is pretty clear :) I m just affraid to overthink the different mode with the Acus ahah
    And just to know, do you plan to make a review of the new Ultron 3 pen from Vlad Blad ?

    Hey there's some people saying that the Acus M1 lacks of power even on mode +2! I don't feel that in any way, I pull thick lines with mine with no issues at all.
    In terms of strengh how do you compare Acus M1 with the others?´ (Flux, Unlimited, etc...)

      Yes, a lot of black and grey ELITE artists are changing from 3.5 to 4.0. You have to adjust your technique but your saturation will be superior.
