I am laughing that I literally just watched about two hours of your videos! I really enjoy how in-depth you go with tattoo machines and rotary machines! I’ve been tattooing for about 28 years and then making the move to go from coil machines to a rotary machine and I just wanted to explore what was available out there as opposed to how I’m actually tattooing to see what would be a better fit. I’ve landed on the Vlad Blad avenger two pro. I just want to thank you for going in depth about this and I’m super excited to Get to try this out on some new tattoos. I just want to say I appreciate you and your videos. Happy tattooing to you!
I use the critical shorty on mine, fits perfect and you can just turn it to the side and still see the display 🤙🏻. Overall solid machine I use it to pack black and line with liners 9rl and bigger. Blasted out a traditional piece with a 14rs yesterday and this machine just slams those lines in there
Good look on the review man. I have been intrigued to pick up a v.b for awhile now but no one in my shop has had one so i didnt get the usual " word of mouth" opinions so thanks again.
I've really struggled to get consistent lines with this, but I'm an apprentice of a couple months and this is my first machine. I'm finding I have more control with the cheyenne hawk being lighter and all- is there anything you can recommend in terms of usage? I'm following Vlad Blad's recs regarding recommended settings but still feel stagnant.
Hello Tyler, I have the Avenger 2 Pro for about 3 months now and one thing is really annoying me, the rubber bands that I put to hold the plunge bar breaks all the time, I’ve bought black rubber bands at painful pleasures specifically for tattoo machines, does this situation happens with you as well? If not what kind of rubber bands do you buy?
It has happened to me before, but you just have to figure out how to have it wrap. That’s one of my complaints about this machine is it’s easy to break rubber bands. Make sure it’s not grinding against the top of your tube that is coming out of the top of the vice. That was my problem.
I understand there is a spring system inside the machine. Does that mean the spring in a cartridge is going to take away some of the hitting power of the machine? I get the feeling this machine would perform better and hit harder with traditional needles because there wouldn’t be two spring systems working against one another? I’m an apprentice and am leaning towards this machine but this one aspect is holding me back. Any advice? What do you guys think? Will the lines come out crisp with cartridges? I would like to avoid traditional needles because if the rubber bands breaking. Cartridges don’t need a stabilizer do they?
I ended up buying this machine due the good recommendations on this video and it has stepped up my tattoo level. Thanks for responding to my comment and encouraging me to get it. No regrets whatsoever
Hey man, how do you like the machine for color packing? Also curious, moving from some of your pen style machines do you find the overall size/weight strenuous on your wrists or too bulky during long and repetitious shading sessions?
I’ve had this machine for 3 weeks and it’s absolutely the worse tattoo machine I’ve ever used by far if I could return it I would. It’s posted as no noise no vibrations but the vibrations are beyond any coil machine by far and it’s very heavy. Wouldn’t recommend
I haven't tried this machine yet.... But somehow I'm obsessed with it. Thanks for introducing me to this beast I think it's what I've been looking for 🤘
Best tattoo channel out there! Amazing and the review out there! Watched it about 10 times before ordering one for myself, and another 10 times while waiting for v.b to ship it 😅 How long was delivery for you on this? Would looove maybe a follow up vid on this amazing machine, like the one you did for the valhalla. Maybe a machine collection vid talking about what you have used in the past, and whats the rotation at the moment. Which one for what uses and what not. Best setups and stuff. Loving all of the content, but as a gear freak these reviews and the straight-forward info is hard to come by and much appreachiated. Sending love from Norway!
I like it its a kool machine i use it alot for dotwork but i like it with 4.7 and standard needles it hits kinda like a cut back liner coil machine its rad as fuck 4.2 really good for lines its an amazing shader but my only gripe it bust rubber bands had to order the thick ones from kingpin
I love it for dotwork and lining but geez does it destroy disposable tubes I'm using it now with stainless tubes that I had from the coil days and it's great I recommend stainless tubes
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial yeah that vice style will crush cheaper dispisabletubes but tatsoul and fk irons haven't been an issue but the kingpin ones got crushed u have to barely tighten it it's the vice style Dan kubins machines have done the same
Sounds so dreamy & I love how it kinda looks like the love child of a Microdial & a Bishop 😍. Is this still your fav/most versatile machine? Beautiful work in all styles. Great & super helpful review! Wow... down to 3 volts.🤩
Dear friend if you can get yur hand on the neuma 4 & compare it with this one and the bishop wand liner would be cool. Your are soo cool. Keep doing it💥💣
Got a question a got peak forge c battery pack for my vlad blad haven’t seen both yet since i just ordered them i was wondering if it was gonna fit it after watching this
I have found a used one with a little bit worn on the stroke adjustment (dont know if it natural to wear there...i mean where the pin goes to change the stroke)He sells it for 500 euros with an adjustable grip.Wpuld you buy it?
Hey.. thanks for the video.. a question i have see in the image video the tecnical drawing diference from avenger 1 and 2.. please were is this web site?i`m interesing please .. ! Thanks and good work bro
Which battery would you recommend for this maschine.? I want to try wireless with the Vlad Vlad a anger pro 2. I would really appreciate your advice xx
What do you use to clean the machine? I’ve been using either alcohol or the same disinfectant we use on our stations but I’m starting to see subtle signs of rust on one of the screws.. so I’m scared 😟
Thank you for sharing! I just ordered from the website and it takes three weeks to arrive to Spain also, thanks for showing the Critical battery combo, this is exactly the question in mind. It fits ! gonna get it now im a DK tattooer, been so get used to DK power, now its time to try this little one!
Hey man! I just got the Vlad blad myself! I tried to message you in instagram, I have a few questions.. I love the machine. Mine is acting weird! It’s like it revs up and down. Like the voltage is inconsistent. Or maybe something is binding up. Idk?! I am using a battery pack. Lightning bolt from black lab. Idk if that might be the issue??? HELPPPPP
How would you rate this machine compared to the dam kubin vr3 sidewinder!!! I’ll be honest I naught the kuban and never gave this machine a thought at the time because I thought it was just a knock off. Also how does it feel with a battery pack on the back?
I never tried a DK. I kinda steered clear of them because I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how they are annoying to deal with sometimes lol But over all I would say this is my number 1 fav machine of all time. Very Versatile. It’s not bad with a critical battery on it but that’s the only ones I’ve ever tried. I
Thank you for the review, right now I’m still running my edge x for lining, but I need something a little faster, would you say this machine a fast liner?
If one were to use disposable cartridge tube/grips with this machine, what length plungers would you recommend? Or is needle-on-bar just the way to go with this style of machine? TIA
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial I do think the axys Valhalla is a great machine for switching stroke lengths but the Neuma 4 takes it a step further and gives 4 different profiles on any of your preferred stroke lengths. Essentially you could have a liner/ shader / packer for any size stroke length. This avenger 2 pro will definitely be my next machine though!
So what all would I need to buy for this machine. I'm just getting into tattooing and I'm not sure what to buy. I would like this machine but navigating their website and figuring out what I need is overwhelming. If you could please help me with a list of things I should order I would be appreciative. I've looked for a list but I can't find anything. I don't want to order the wrong things and not be able to start practicing. Thank you for your help and suggestions
Ive never bought anything over seas i live in the US and would love to own this machine is there anywhere domestic that has this machine in stock. ps love your videos man keep up the good work
What’s up my bro Tyler. I bought the Avenger 2 Pro but I need to buy the plunger bar, which one do you recommend me to buy it? I will use it with cartridge grips. Thank you for the videos!
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial Thanks brother, I just watched your video about disposable grips and I figured everything out. I bought the Precision Grips and they don’t come with the plunger bars 🤦🏻♂️ my fault as a beginner because I didn’t know that lol. I will buy the TATSoul wrath ones since is the best that you’ve recommended in your video. Also I want to thank you again because your videos has been very helpful in my dream of becoming an artist.
Seems like a great machine, unfortunately I can't find it in stock. One question I have is on the needles... it looks like it uses traditional needles, but can it use cartridges as well?
hy, with what voltage does the machine run, and would you say that the avanger 2 pro is better for lines than the bishop wand liner. Thank you for your answer, greetings from Austria
Voltage runs from 2-10 volts. And it’s a toss up man. I think I’m actually going to make a video about comparing the 2. You can’t go wrong with either. Both very solid liners. The vlad blad is just much more versatile
Great choice ! They were on sale for Black Friday and I thought about buying another one just for back up ahah Did you get one of their weird colors ? Or just black?
Hey! I just bought this machine and noticed the instructions say nothing about recommended voltage. 0-10v is a broad range. Do you have any preferences?
I would say this machine. It can be a good beginning machine but then you will be able to grow with it and it’s super versatile so you won’t need a bunch of different machines
Hey bro what cartridges do you use with the bishop wand? My liner wand has been giving me issues with single pass lines and im trying to solve the problem. Online it says that it should lay some quick solid lines and hits hard but it's as if it just doesn't work fast enough for me.
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial ok the FK iron pen machine I have been learning on is great But doesn't line well especially bolder lines I want something more stable and for solid one shot lines if possible I watched your review like 3 times I'm just worried about how to set up this machine for carts and what grips ect
Hey man. I notices some time ago you really liked the axyz valhalla for lining. Do you like this machine better for lining??? And besides wand liner whats your "go 2" lining machine....????
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial ok cool. Thanx heaps for reply. I also noticed you didn't get a long with the neuma 4. Besides ur issues with it would you agree it's powerful and " punchy"?? Obviously I'm looking for a liner.
@@Max-dm3vg I didn’t like it as a liner, I honestly didn’t like it for anything really. I didn’t think it was punchy. I’ve heard great things about it but when I tested it I just wasn’t feeling it at all.
I am not at the shop right now so I’m not sure of the brand, but I brought it from an Instagram add actually. I think they are called continuous led bar lights or something like that? amzn.to/3iB3Hwc This is something similar but there are so many to choose from
Hey, question, i have the wand liner now but i am reallly impressed about this vladblad. Do you think it’s als good for like really really fine-line? With a 3RL for example. And I mean tattoo’s like 1 cm. Really hoping you could answer this because I am probably going to buy it then!!
I have this machine and I’ve been noticing that the power cuts out or dies down a bit while I’m tattooing. Does anyone else have this issue? I’m thinking it could be that I need a new rca cord. I run around 8-8.5 volts for lining and shading.
I have had that problem when my cable was dying. Hopefully it’s that and not your power supply. But I haven’t had any problem with power for this machine yet
That Tattoo Guy okay thanks I will try a new cord. My power supply is a critical XR and I’ve only had it approximately 6 months so I doubt it’s the power supply. When the power starts to dip, I pull my hand away from the tattoo, and kinda wiggle/shake the machine until the power increases. Ordering a new cord today. Thank you!
No I didn’t run it with traditional needles. I use cartridges. If it’s able to do well with carts and the resistance they have I assume it would prob run a little smoother with traditional needles to tell you the truth.
Great video mate ,question...how long took the delivery to you ?and the way they send the payment request and all the stuff seems a little different is this secure ?, I made a order and they said it will take about 10-25 days to manufacture and assemble my order before shipping it is right did you got the same message ? I just want to be sure before make any payment thanks 🙏
It was prob 2 weeks? And yeah I thought the payment request was weird too but it was through PayPal so they guarantee your money if someone where to rip you off.. which they won’t I don’t think. They have been selling machines for years.
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial Thanks buddy great info that gives me the green light to send the payment . keep the awesome videos teaching and sharing your knowledge
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial hey buddy so I order it and took 3 weeks for the shipping ,glad it’s already in the us , question did DHL request any info from you or did you had to pay extra fees to them? This message pop up in the DHL tracking page Further Detail DHL needs further information from the importer. Next Step A DHL representative shall attempt to contact the importer or please contact DHL Customer Service for further assistance. Customer should contact DHL Customer Service if not reached by DHL Thanks again man ! 🙏
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial amazing so in mexico i cant orden the avenger the goverment has some restrictions to do payments vía PayPal to russia .. is a way to take in this case the wand most of the time i Need it for lining and some stiple shadding and dot Work … whats the low voltage for work in the wand liner by Bishop ? I mean the start voltage for stipple shadding in the liner wand ?
I finally got my hands on mine ! BUT the little hold block that sits in the stroke length arm which the screw tightens into dropped out?!! Have you had any issues ? Thank you 🙏
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial somehow I must've but there's no clearance to get it back in? Bizarre! Found someone in the comments that it also happened to .. hoping they reply 😬
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial ok so, you slide a flat head screw driver under the arm and pop it up while the stroke setting is at its lowest, pop the block back in with the ridged side against the screw. Do not lose the spring! And pop back together.. ✅
It functions better. Its easier to line with and just for my style over all. I also like that I’m able to use disposables with it since axys stopped making the disposables a while ago(I’m not sure if they restarted making them again tho) It just made tattooing easier honestly.

Great review man, answered all my questions. Was deciding which avenger to buy as I wanted something more lining specific! 🤘🏽
Glad you liked it!
What do you prefer Vlad bald or the Axys Valhalla
The vlad blad. It’s just more versatile
I use the critical shorty on mine, fits perfect and you can just turn it to the side and still see the display 🤙🏻. Overall solid machine I use it to pack black and line with liners 9rl and bigger. Blasted out a traditional piece with a 14rs yesterday and this machine just slams those lines in there

Any fees there were were included in the amount I paid.
Idk if that’s different for places outside the US tho?
I ended up buying this machine due the good recommendations on this video and it has stepped up my tattoo level.
Thanks for responding to my comment and encouraging me to get it.
No regrets whatsoever
Good I’m glad you liked it! It’s definitely a machine that helped me grow!
What is a good power supply for the machine

Best on the market right now…..Almost perfect machine with the realistic price ….Highly recommending 👌
Absolutely! My favorite machine by far !

Great review! Would love to see your take on the dan kubin v7!
I’d love to try one of his machines I just haven’t gotten around to buying one just yet!
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial i just ordered a v3r. Getting it in a few days. Really looking forward to play around with it!
Does this machine come with its own bar plunger?
I haven't tried this machine yet.... But somehow I'm obsessed with it. Thanks for introducing me to this beast I think it's what I've been looking for 🤘

I do a lot of dot work, but also it works really well for it
I’ll have to look into those kingpin rubber bands. I have the first gen of the avenger and it does like to break them.
This machine is an absolute gamechanger for me.
Changed everything…in a realy positive direction👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Does anyone else have any issues with the tube tightener? Mine has broken twice now
I looks like if you put the inkclaw sidehang struktur on it could be a good match
hi which one do you think is better for lines, that one or the bishop wand, thanks 🙏🏼 🤘🏼
It’s close but if you are looking for a straight lining machine I would say the bishop.
Hey bro! How long you have been waiting for the machine? A ordered 10 days ago and still waiting.
I waited about 2 weeks I believe
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial thanks my man ! :)
Is it better than a dan kubin?
I love it for dotwork and lining but geez does it destroy disposable tubes I'm using it now with stainless tubes that I had from the coil days and it's great I recommend stainless tubes
You mean with the vice? Lol
That thing is powerful. I barely twist it and the tube is stuck
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial yeah that vice style will crush cheaper dispisabletubes but tatsoul and fk irons haven't been an issue but the kingpin ones got crushed u have to barely tighten it it's the vice style Dan kubins machines have done the same
Can you use the inkclaw battery grip w it?
Yes
Sounds so dreamy & I love how it kinda looks like the love child of a Microdial & a Bishop 😍.
Is this still your fav/most versatile machine?
Beautiful work in all styles.
Great & super helpful review!
Wow... down to 3 volts.🤩
Dear friend if you can get yur hand on the neuma 4 & compare it with this one and the bishop wand liner would be cool. Your are soo cool. Keep doing it💥💣
Thanks mate 😁
You’re welcome !
I Think you pay for the Brand.you can't buy a good tattoo pen for 200 Euros with a adjustable hit.this tattoo gun is good but its to much.
This IS a quality review!!! Thanks a lot !!!
Would you recommend this machine with the Inkclaw Phoenix 2.0 ?
Got a question a got peak forge c battery pack for my vlad blad haven’t seen both yet since i just ordered them i was wondering if it was gonna fit it after watching this
I have found a used one with a little bit worn on the stroke adjustment (dont know if it natural to wear there...i mean where the pin goes to change the stroke)He sells it for 500 euros with an adjustable grip.Wpuld you buy it?
I would buy the machine in general.. when it comes to a used machine idk what it went through or how it was treated. Thats up to you man.
Hey.. thanks for the video.. a question i have see in the image video the tecnical drawing diference from avenger 1 and 2.. please were is this web site?i`m interesing please .. ! Thanks and good work bro
Super cool machine. I’d buy it if I didnt have to deal with tubes and needle bars.
you can just put a cartidge grip..
@@dimjamz dude his comment scared me I thought I bought the wrong needles… I was like damn I was gonna use my go to cartridge :(
I’ve been trying to get this machine but I haven’t figured out how to order it. Where should I go and how do I place my order?
Hi! I’ve just bought this machine and I was wondering what stroke and voltage range to pack black/colour?!
Which battery would you recommend for this maschine.? I want to try wireless with the Vlad Vlad a anger pro 2. I would really appreciate your advice xx
I use the critical batteries. They work well on it.
What do you use to clean the machine? I’ve been using either alcohol or the same disinfectant we use on our stations but I’m starting to see subtle signs of rust on one of the screws.. so I’m scared 😟
Thank you for sharing! I just ordered from the website and it takes three weeks to arrive to Spain
also, thanks for showing the Critical battery combo, this is exactly the question in mind.
It fits ! gonna get it now
im a DK tattooer, been so get used to DK power, now its time to try this little one!
Let me know how it compares to the DK.
I’ve had people ask, and I’ve never tried his machines
Still waiting for the comparison, also dk user.
How it went then ?
Hey man! I just got the Vlad blad myself! I tried to message you in instagram, I have a few questions.. I love the machine. Mine is acting weird! It’s like it revs up and down. Like the voltage is inconsistent. Or maybe something is binding up. Idk?! I am using a battery pack. Lightning bolt from black lab. Idk if that might be the issue??? HELPPPPP
That’s a question for vlad blad. Maybe your battery pack is having an issue too? Try plugging it into a power supply too
How would you rate this machine compared to the dam kubin vr3 sidewinder!!! I’ll be honest I naught the kuban and never gave this machine a thought at the time because I thought it was just a knock off. Also how does it feel with a battery pack on the back?
I never tried a DK. I kinda steered clear of them because I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how they are annoying to deal with sometimes lol
But over all I would say this is my number 1 fav machine of all time. Very Versatile.
It’s not bad with a critical battery on it but that’s the only ones I’ve ever tried. I
I know it’s different for every tattooer and hand speed but what voltage do you use for lining with 7RL and 11RL?
that machine is coil or rotary?
Rotary
Thank you for the review, right now I’m still running my edge x for lining, but I need something a little faster, would you say this machine a fast liner?
For sure faster than the edge x
What voltage and stroke u use for 3,7,9 RL?
Thanks
Im curious what voltage you using when it comes to lining, anything above 5 RL for instance?
If one were to use disposable cartridge tube/grips with this machine, what length plungers would you recommend? Or is needle-on-bar just the way to go with this style of machine? TIA
I just use the bars that come with the disposable grips. Not sure of the size honestly.
What's a better liner VLAD BLAD or the Bishop liner in your opinion?
You should check out the Neuma 4, the stroke profile options are amazing!
People have suggested that! I’ll have to check it out
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial I do think the axys Valhalla is a great machine for switching stroke lengths but the Neuma 4 takes it a step further and gives 4 different profiles on any of your preferred stroke lengths. Essentially you could have a liner/ shader / packer for any size stroke length. This avenger 2 pro will definitely be my next machine though!
I want this so bad!!
It’s worth it!
Whats the official Page of vlad bad?
Do you think this machine IS easy to work for something Who IS tattooing only one year...excuse muy bad english
I think it’s good for someone that’s learning. I think you will be able to grow with it.
So what all would I need to buy for this machine. I'm just getting into tattooing and I'm not sure what to buy. I would like this machine but navigating their website and figuring out what I need is overwhelming. If you could please help me with a list of things I should order I would be appreciative. I've looked for a list but I can't find anything. I don't want to order the wrong things and not be able to start practicing. Thank you for your help and suggestions
Your mentor should be able to explain products. Make sure you get an apprenticeship!
Ive never bought anything over seas i live in the US and would love to own this machine is there anywhere domestic that has this machine in stock. ps love your videos man keep up the good work
I’ve seen domestic site carry it. Just Google it and you’ll be able to find places that carry it!
What’s up my bro Tyler. I bought the Avenger 2 Pro but I need to buy the plunger bar, which one do you recommend me to buy it? I will use it with cartridge grips. Thank you for the videos!
I just use the plunger bars that come with the disposable grips I buy. They should come with your grip as a single use bar
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial Thanks brother, I just watched your video about disposable grips and I figured everything out.

Seems like a great machine, unfortunately I can't find it in stock. One question I have is on the needles... it looks like it uses traditional needles, but can it use cartridges as well?
They are hard to come by unfortunately.. and yes they can use both
Hi! Very informative review, thank you. I am trying to find out… can it make the wrist feel sore after long use due to its weight? Thanks in advance!
It doesn’t for mine. Depends on who is using it tho I guess
Hello! is best a2pro or ultron pen of vlad blad?

I might be a bit late to the game but I just ordered the standard rca avenger 2 pro and IM SO STOKED
Great choice ! They were on sale for Black Friday and I thought about buying another one just for back up ahah
Did you get one of their weird colors ? Or just black?
Hey! I just bought this machine and noticed the instructions say nothing about recommended voltage. 0-10v is a broad range. Do you have any preferences?
love this question.
I’m a beginner and I’m torn between this machine or the Bishop Wand. What would you recommend?
I would say this machine. It can be a good beginning machine but then you will be able to grow with it and it’s super versatile so you won’t need a bunch of different machines
A quick question. How much did you have to pay in taxes to get it in to USA? thanks again :)
Nothing extraordinary that I remember honestly.
Hey, could you please do a Mast Flip review? It has the same adjustable stroke feature as Valhalla. Would love to see a comparison
That one does look interesting. I’ll try to get my hands on one !
No rubber band on these ?
Yes you use a rubber band
Nice review! What brand light is that in the background?
It was off of an instagram ad. It doesn’t have any branding on it
How easy is it to switch the stroke while in the bag? Or do you just switch the bag when you need to do that?
It’s easy only takes a few seconds
Hey bro what cartridges do you use with the bishop wand? My liner wand has been giving me issues with single pass lines and im trying to solve the problem. Online it says that it should lay some quick solid lines and hits hard but it's as if it just doesn't work fast enough for me.
I use mostly black claw carts!

Better liner than the FK Iron Flux?
@@vickturorteez I never tried the flux but it’s better than most pens I’ve used
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial ok the FK iron pen machine I have been learning on is great
But doesn't line well especially bolder lines I want something more stable and for solid one shot lines if possible
I watched your review like 3 times I'm just worried about how to set up this machine for carts and what grips ect
Is it compatible with non-disposable cartridge grips
If it has a stem for the vice to grab on to yes
Hey man. I notices some time ago you really liked the axyz valhalla for lining. Do you like this machine better for lining??? And besides wand liner whats your "go 2" lining machine....????
This is way better than the Valhalla for sure. Haven’t used it since I got the VB.
I’ve also been really enjoying the critical torque 4.2 stroke.
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial ok cool. Thanx heaps for reply. I also noticed you didn't get a long with the neuma 4. Besides ur issues with it would you agree it's powerful and " punchy"?? Obviously I'm looking for a liner.
@@Max-dm3vg I didn’t like it as a liner, I honestly didn’t like it for anything really. I didn’t think it was punchy.
I’ve heard great things about it but when I tested it I just wasn’t feeling it at all.
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial yeh right man. Again Thanx ...
Quick question not related to review. What brand is that led light in the background and where can I get it
I am not at the shop right now so I’m not sure of the brand, but I brought it from an Instagram add actually.
I think they are called continuous led bar lights or something like that?
amzn.to/3iB3Hwc
This is something similar but there are so many to choose from
Wireless hookup?
Hey, question, i have the wand liner now but i am reallly impressed about this vladblad.
Do you think it’s als good for like really really fine-line? With a 3RL for example. And I mean tattoo’s like 1 cm. Really hoping you could answer this because I am probably going to buy it then!!
The vlad blad is great with fine line for sure. It’s a great all around machine
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial thanks for responding!
Not a bad time to get into tattooing
I have a question. Does pineapple belong on pizza?
100% yes
I have this machine and I’ve been noticing that the power cuts out or dies down a bit while I’m tattooing. Does anyone else have this issue? I’m thinking it could be that I need a new rca cord. I run around 8-8.5 volts for lining and shading.
I have had that problem when my cable was dying. Hopefully it’s that and not your power supply. But I haven’t had any problem with power for this machine yet
That Tattoo Guy okay thanks I will try a new cord. My power supply is a critical XR and I’ve only had it approximately 6 months so I doubt it’s the power supply. When the power starts to dip, I pull my hand away from the tattoo, and kinda wiggle/shake the machine until the power increases. Ordering a new cord today. Thank you!
Where did you get that light in the background from?
Amazon ! Look up light strip lights on tripod or something like that. I forget what they are called
Can I ask you what's the difference between the one with binding post and just RCA? Also what was your experience buying from Blad Vlad like?
The difference is just more versatility. If your RCA craps out you can grab a clip cord.
@@LUXINK just versatility on top of versatility! If you have a rca battery just slap that bad boy on there 💪😻
Don’t know if I missed it. But did you try both carts and trad needles?? If so does it run both the same? Also, the pen they make next?
No I didn’t run it with traditional needles. I use cartridges.
If it’s able to do well with carts and the resistance they have I assume it would prob run a little smoother with traditional needles to tell you the truth.
And the pen I’ve been thinking about getting. Not too sure yet tho!
Thanks for the information.
Great video mate ,question...how long took the delivery to you ?and the way they send the payment request and all the stuff seems a little different is this secure ?, I made a order and they said it will take about 10-25 days to manufacture and assemble my order before shipping it is right did you got the same message ? I just want to be sure before make any payment thanks 🙏
It was prob 2 weeks?
And yeah I thought the payment request was weird too but it was through PayPal so they guarantee your money if someone where to rip you off.. which they won’t I don’t think. They have been selling machines for years.
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial
Thanks buddy great info that gives me the green light to send the payment . keep the awesome videos teaching and sharing your knowledge
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial hey buddy so I order it and took 3 weeks for the shipping ,glad it’s already in the us , question did DHL request any info from you or did you had to pay extra fees to them?
This message pop up in the DHL tracking page
Further Detail
DHL needs further information from the importer.
Next Step
A DHL representative shall attempt to contact the importer or please contact DHL Customer Service for further assistance. Customer should contact DHL Customer Service if not reached by DHL
Thanks again man ! 🙏
Do you need the rubber band if you’re using cartridges and a plunge bar?
Yes. Still don’t want it rattling around in there
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial awesome! I have it a shot and it did make my machine so much quieter. But my rubber bands kept breaking?
@@JacobGreen-v7d could be you have them too tight ?
How is their customer service?
I’ve never had to use it honestly.
They are very responsive on social media tho. So maybe that’s a good sign ?
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial thank you
Does it have replacement parts?I couldn't find any...
I have a question can you play some Pitbull
I have Spotify so sure ? Lol
great stuff thank you
How long did it take to get and are they in preorder right now?
It took about 2 weeks for mine. And they are on their website now. They were available when I last checked
Avenger 2 pro vs Bishop wand liner for lining and atiple shadding or whip shadding!! Which one you recomend?
I’m actually going to make a video on this but in short, if you want a liner the wand, if you want something to line and stipple the avenger.
If you are doing just dot shading where you are manual doing each dot then the wand is great but whip type of shading the avenger
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial i really want to see this video … so .. do it! Do you have Instagram?
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial amazing so in mexico i cant orden the avenger the goverment has some restrictions to do payments vía PayPal to russia .. is a way to take in this case the wand most of the time i Need it for lining and some stiple shadding and dot Work … whats the low voltage for work in the wand liner by Bishop ? I mean the start voltage for stipple shadding in the liner wand ?
I finally got my hands on mine ! BUT the little hold block that sits in the stroke length arm which the screw tightens into dropped out?!! Have you had any issues ? Thank you 🙏
I’ve never had a problem with that. I’m guessing you unscrewed it a little too far? Message vlad blad I’m sure they will be able to help!
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial somehow I must've but there's no clearance to get it back in? Bizarre! Found someone in the comments that it also happened to .. hoping they reply 😬
@@lilskullstattoos9372 I’m sure they will. If they don’t on instagram then look on their website
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial ok so, you slide a flat head screw driver under the arm and pop it up while the stroke setting is at its lowest, pop the block back in with the ridged side against the screw. Do not lose the spring! And pop back together.. ✅
@@lilskullstattoos9372 did you end up sorting out the problem ??
How can i buy rhis machine
There are a bunch of supply sites that offer it or from the vlad blad website
What makes you like the Vlad Bad more than the Valhalla?
It functions better. Its easier to line with and just for my style over all. I also like that I’m able to use disposables with it since axys stopped making the disposables a while ago(I’m not sure if they restarted making them again tho)
It just made tattooing easier honestly.
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial sweet thanks for the thorough answer!
they now have a wireless batery for this machine.
Vlad blad makes it?
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial sorry my mistake, I confused their regular batery from a wireless one!
do you try the Vlad Blad Pen
I have not
Can you review dragonhawk mast saber
I did one on the lancer. I’ll have to look into the saber
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficialthank you that will be helpful of you can
