I’ve been an artist for 10 years now and I’m planning on being a tattoo artist but I gotta save up to buy all the materials to start practicing and get started you’ve been so helpful
Cnc q2 is getting me started! I know nothing! It seems like a decent unit, good beginner gun. Granted I've only just did my 8th tat. Easy to use and seems comfortable.
Great to hear the Q2 is treating you well. And I agree its a great machine for those looking to get into tattooing or for those who want to try a rotary pen machine but dont want to brake the bank.
I just bought one based on your use and review of it. I love!! I've been using Dragon Hawk machines for the first year I've been tattooing. The Q2 gets ink in the skin so much faster, lines and packs black so well. Thank you
Thats awesome to hear Rhyno, really glad your enjoying the machine! I agree it does a great job of lining, packing and shading all for under 200 dollars, so in my opinion you cant go wrong. I wish you the best of luck as you continue with the Q2!! ANd Keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘🤘
I ordered the CNC Q2 and my lines are so much better. It’s so light. Lol. I did order a battery but ordered the wrong one so I have to return the battery and get the right one. Got the wrong type of plug on it. But it’s so cute and light. It’s crazy. There’s like no crazy vibration like the coil machine I have. It’s awesome. Thanks for doing a review and keep up the awesome work. Thanks again.
Thats great to hear Athul!! And I wish you the very best of luck as you continue down this awesome journey!! And im happy to know the channel is helping you out!! Keep at it and Keep Rocking!! 🤘🤘
I started last year. Unfortunately bought a $70 wish kit with bad fake ink, (tried to use 1x ) never tattooed with it.I bought the Dragonhawk Mast Tour kit on amazon. $130.00. I've done 1 really good tattoo and the rest not so much. I'm hoping the CNC Q2 will give me the stability and quality for me to start producing great quality tattoos even though having quality tattoo equipment is just one element to giving a good quality tatt.Time will tell. Ty for your advice Art Something as you help me through my tattoo journey.Much Respect.😊😊😌💯💯💯
As a beginner tattoo artist, your videos have helped me so much. I have gone so well on stippling and lining all thanks to you :D You have taught me so much and I hope to learn more from you in the other videos you make! You're my literal inspiration right now for wanting to keep tattooing, so thank you. Keep rocking! :D :D
Hahah right it feels very similar in that there are tons of options, they all do different things yet they all still do the same thing LOL!! So yeah pretty similar for sure. Thanks again RELLIK really really cant thank you enough for being such a big support for so long. Respect!! 🤘🙏💪🤘
I can second the cartridges not fitting 100% sometimes, I thought it was my cartridges but hearing it from you too I think it may be the machine. I never feel unsafe using it but it just doesn’t have that super satisfying click occasionally. That being said, it works so well I have no reason to stop using it for the level of tattooing I’m doing
You have been having me want one of cnc q2 for a long time. Good luck to the lucky one. I’m going to get one when I get my taxes back.love your videos. Your awesome. Thank you so much. Have a amazing day. Looking forward to more videos.
Yeah the Q2 is a great machine for the price and a solid machine for those looking to get into tattooing without braking the bank. And I look forward to hearing how you like the Q2. Thanks for the support Holly we really appreciate it and you have an amazing day as well!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I’m new to tattooing and I absolutely love it. I’ve been drawing tattoos for my family and friends for years. I love your channel and your videos. Keep up the great content !
I just got mine and did a thigh Tattoo and it was a great experience with it no problems. Love the information you give on your channel I look forward to everyone of them keep up the great content
Thats awesome to hear Michael!! Glad it was a great experience. And thank you so much for the support really appreciate it. Keep working hard and keep rocking my friend!! 🤘🤘
Cool to hear the Q1 is a solid running machine as well. I have not used the Valhalla but I hear its a great machine with a lot of adjustability. And thanks again for the support my friend!! 🤘🤘🤘
Just bought a ton of supplies from the links in your bio the other day, hopefully you get some good commission! Definitely the least I could do for all the invaluable information.
Thank you Jordyn I appreciate you supporting the channel like that. And im happy to hear the channel is helping you out and providing solid information! Keep Rocking and Thanks again for the support!! 🤘🤘
I started to learn to tattoo in 2017 but i was not financially stable to continue and left it in the end of 2017 until i started again last year August 2020 and i am learning so much at a fast rate and your videos are a big help for me as well as i continue my journey to be come a great tattoo artist thank you 💉💪🏼🤘🏼💯
Also might add the sol nova disposable grips fit this pen. They're a lil loose and you lose the "click" grip but they do work fine. You can add a thicker o ring to make them fit more snug.
Needed this positivity today. Im in the Midwest and we have had -20 to -30 Temps. I had a pipe burst in my shop last night and all my supplies were unsalvageable. Its been a hard day. Thinking about getting a CNC-Q2 to replace my cheyenne that was lost in the water ♡
OH WOW sooo Sorry to hear about that.... 🤔. I'm from the midwest as well and I know how bad those cold temps can get and its just really sad to hear everything is unsalvageable. With that said the CNC-Q2 is a great option at a decent price. It runs differently then the Cheyenne as its more punchy due to it being a direct drive, but I think you should really enjoy it. Again really sorry to hear about your day Mandii, I sure hope things start to look up.
JUST BOUGHT DRAGON HAWK MAST TO TRY SOMETHING BETTER THAN $10 GUN'S CHEAPEST BEST FROM WHAT I HAVE LOOKED AT AND COULD TELL DIFFERENCE RIGHT OUT OF GATE ON LINE'S AND PERFORMANCE...MAYBE ONE DAY I CAN PONY UP FOR A BETTER ONE........ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO KEEP IT UP MY MAN
No problem Marylee. I think for the money this machine is a really solid machine. Sure there are other machines that do it better but again for the price its hard to beat. 🤘
I started tattooing 6 years ago, I began with coils machine, 2 years ago I bought the cncq2 for trying pen style and I loved it. It was just the begenning, now I run with the cheyenne hawk pen, the cheyenne hawk thunder and spirit, few month ago I bought a wireless pen I loved it too and now my go to set up are cheyenne hawk pen, EZ filter V2 and a new brand AMBITION how product some very good pen and wireless battery. Thank's for your video it's very informative
Watching you over the last months working with the CNC Q2 made me think quite a bit about picking up a pen aswell man. I usally use Coil Machines as my go to but got myself a semi direct drive one last year. From what you said about the machine and what you like, that could maybe suit you too, if you are interested I use the Stigma-Rotary® Hyper V3 as my go to Rotary. (They also got the V4 now but that one sucks). Can only recommand it. Great video as always and already congrats in advance to the 100k man, you deserve it for sure !
*Quick edit: they will ask for a video or picture of any broken part so don't try to fix it without taking pictures first. I was able to fix mine with a dab of JB Weld* With customer service, I wrote Solongtattoo.com & they sent me the part I needed. I also wrote CNCtattoo.com & as soon as I mentioned "broken" they didn't reply back, so I suggest writing their mother company, Solong. With being a Chinese company, 99% of every machine you buy will have SOMETHING to do with China! same with tattoo ink.. the bottles are made in China. There's very little you can get nowadays that doesn't have anything to do with a country in Asia. That being said, I have every Hawink Q-series machine EXCEPT for the Q2. I think the Q1 is pretty close. The Q3 (pill) is similar & also has the Faulhaber & the Q5 (grenade) is a little bulkier & has the japanese motor. All direct drive & all work great. The only things I had a problem with is the drive bar breaking off the eccentric wheel- don't get me wrong, I was pissed because it broke right away, but they sent me a new one quickly after I emailed Solong tattoo, so customer service is good, and to me that is HUGE because ALOT of those chinese companies will give two shits about your complaint. I also ordered a 4mm eccentric wheel from the machine company Xnet & made it fit in my Q1 for a 4mm stroke. I would also highly recommend these machines. Congratulations on 100k subscribers! You blew up quick!
Wow great info brother. I hope others see this if they are having problems with customer service. smart idea to email Solong directly. And im sure the Q2 is super similar to the Q1,3 and 5 as they are all direct drive and about the same size with similar motors. I also like the idea of switching out the cams for a longer stroke. I could see how you could almost build your own liner, and shader. Again I hope people give your comment a read as there is a lot of good info here that could really help someone out. Thank you again Brother really appreciate the consistent support and info you provide to both me and everyone else here. Keep being awesome and Keep ROcking!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The only problem with ordering the eccentric wheels is the only place I've found them so far is AliExpress. You can buy the original CNC Q-series one for $20 if you click on the machines on there they give you the option to buy it or the Xnet/Ambition one is around $12 but I had to bend my own push bar to fit it with needle nose plyers & standard needle bars. It took a few tries but I was able to make a few with some practice.
Thank you so much Korri!! I really appreciate the support and im happy to hear the channel has been able to help you out along the way! Keep working hard and KEEP ROCKING!! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Bostjan! And yeah I would rather see these machines get used and appreciated then just sit in a drawer in my desk. As far as what machine I got.... I think your on to something. 🤘🤘🤘
I plan to buy one of those after I get a little money coming in again. Right now I use the dragon hawk mast and it’s pretty smooth I also have a solong machine that works just as good and I prefer because the depth is clicked in as opposed to the mast which is just one smooth turn. I’ve been following you for a while and have watched a lot of your videos, thank you for being so open with all the info you provide and not being a “tattoo snob. 😂
Yeah I think the last one was a xion knock off as it look identical to it only its not a xion. But im sure someone will make great use out of it. I would rather see the machines being used then just sitting on my desk. And im glad to hear your enjoying the mast pro. I have heard good things but yet to try it out.
The research available was perfect timing for those of us looking for something different. I used the Xion Spektra from FK Irons. Very nice pen machine with adjustable options. I bought the CNC-Q2 due to the research and the motor. I did unfortunately have some issues with my machine after a busy Friday The 13th. Sent the machine to the manufacturer and bought a new one whole I waited. So I now own multiple CNC-Q2 machines. They hit so hard and the lines work is crispy. I'd like to see a version with adjustable stroke. I know there are new lines of machines that come work that. The CNC-Q2 model is great and I highly recommend it.
Thanx so much for your videos, i am not an english native speaker but i understand everything and your videos are so helpful and motivating so far. I totally stand at the beginning and there is still much to learn. I can only afford an old coilmaschine yet. Did you give the cncq2 already away? Go on with your videos, your great and funny, too
Thats cool to hear Luke and I look forward to hearing how you like it in comparison to coils. I think you will love it and find yourself never wanting to go back.... but hey thats just my biased opinion lol. But again look forward to hearing how you like it and thanks again Luke always great to hear from you my friend!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
It's difficoult to get the CNC Q2 in Poland ;(. I'm waithing now to go for a tatto course and than for an aprenticeship in one of the studios in Warsaw. Love your vids they are the most packed in knowledge and helped me a lot
It would be dope to use, I love how short it looks even with the power adapter. Im using a dragon hawk machine with the cord.. Its nice but I'd love to compare the 2 specially if you have nothing but love for that. Congrats on 100k brotha keep up those positive vibes, loving it!
Thanks for the info man, I've been using the Cheyenne Spirit for years and just recently bought the Thunder since my lining was having trouble on thicker skin.. but now I want a pen style machine for the convenience of wrapping it easier. I checked out your bishops review which ive been thinking about getting but with this recent purchase ( about a month ago) i might save the cash and go with this one
I just started getting back into tattooing after a 6 year hiatus due to many things but my old coil machines aren't working anymore (imagine that) so I'm glad I found your videos but I can't find the CNC- Q2 and was wondering if you knew anything about the CNC-Q3? I dont know if I should get the Q3 or continue searching for the Q2 would love to hear your thoughts. Also I'm blown away by how much more info there is out there than there used to be, I'm currently binge watching your channel, you make everything so easy and informative and I really appreciate it!
Man I would love to have one of those machines, I just had to go with a $70 model and it's been running ok but I know those machines will be smoother. Love the show and your info! You've helped me a lot bud
Got this machine on Amazon for $118, cyber Monday deal, excited to try it. Your videos are my guide to tattooing, super helpful thank you! Do you have a video though or maybe if you could go over the steps and how to lubricate the machine? I have no idea what supply I would use nor have I heard of doing that tbh, I’m afraid I’ll be missing out lol
Currently using a hawkin, as my first pen style, never used any thing other then coils up untill a month ago when i statted my apprentiship....youve been quite the inspirayion as im learning id realy love to get in on the give away.
i missed the giveaway ?! ok i guess ill buy it myself then... that barely audible hum is a huge selling point for me tbh and your video really sells the product! still sad i missed the giveaway
I felt a little hesitant switching to wireless at first as well. I guess we just get really use to the foot pedal and cord that moving to wireless just seems strange. However I am very happy that I went wireless and can not see going back from here. I guess its not for everyone but its deff for me!
As a new artist brother I love your content. I have this machine trying to find the perfect machine for me. Looking forward to the give away. Much love from fr bragg Nc
Thank you Crown I really appreciate the support!! I too am looking forward to the giveaway and I hope to have that video out in the next week or so. Much love back at your Crown and thanks for the support from Bragg NC!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Not a problem keep it up, and if I ever was interested in sending you fake skin for your fake skin submissions do you take parcels from Canada? I'm not great yet but getting there and just picking a machine up again my self like a month ago after not tattooing for almost 5 years just felt right.
I think ima buy this like 3 years later or idk honestly there’s a few that are about 50-65$ that are dope and look so simple and good like the ambition torp, and there 2 other small models then the cnc machines
My friend, first of all, thank you very much for all your videos, you help us many and if you recommend this machine for thick lines but I want to give it the 4 mm stroke, I don't know what you think, thank you very much🙏🏼❤️🔥
Also you can use the bishop fantom cams (3.5mm and 4.2mm) and is a straight cam swap( the change in noise and vibration on the machine is incredible!!!)
Wow thank you so much for that info. I had no idea that the ergo cheyenne grips work with the Q2. And I had heard that you can switch the cams out as well, but I have never tried it myself. It always great to hear what others are doing and learn something new so thanks you again Ignacio!!🤘🤘
Love the whole channel! I’ve been practicing for 3 weeks from watching your videos and tattooed myself yesterday! Would love to send you the tat see what you think
YES! the direct drive motor where the bar that hits the needle cartridges..... this came off the pin inside mine. How can I fix that?????? This is exactly what my issues were
I bought the cnc q2 after watching your videos on it and I do love how it feels but wonder, would it be worth buying the 4mm cam for the q2 to get better lines and stipple shading? Also bought the wand shader to have a solid shading piece but since both are 3.5 wondering if I should invest in the cam or new lining machine altogether. Thanks for the videos!
I'm not very educated on the lubrication process and I have the mast tour pen it would be great if you did a video on that I've had mine for a couple months
Great review doode, you rock I wondering if i won something from ya it would be posible to send it to Ireland? I really wish to try this machine. Peace doode Nice haul again Ps: i can pay the delivery hehe🤣
I've used a huckspaulding machine for years but watched your videos and decided to purchase the cnc my first tattoo with it was smooth. I do want to explore more Wireless machines as well do you have a recommendation on one that's $1000 or under?
I bought a cncq2 on your recommendation but haven’t used it yet. I’ve been using a Bronc short pen which I’m just so used to, it has all the same pluses you mentioned about the Q2, but seeing this video I will probably give it a spin soon. So, what is your new machine? I have trouble trying new things when what I’m using works. 😂
Hey I just started watching your videos I want to become a tattoo artist but idk the proper way to start or the proper equipment to get I was wondering if you can help me down this path?
I have not tried the Mast tour pen. I have heard its a pretty decent machine but again I have not tried it for myself. But its great to hear its running solid for you and that your loving it cause thats what matters most. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel Diana we really appreciate it! 🤘🤘
Currently have this in my cart because you’re honestly the only reputable source I can find and so much more informative.
Same here lmao. Jono Smith is good too. But I did grab this machine simply because of this man lol
@@treehouseconstituents6402 I’ll definitely check them out!
The tattoo guy is good
Did any of you get them and did they have the updated motor housing
I’ve been an artist for 10 years now and I’m planning on being a tattoo artist but I gotta save up to buy all the materials to start practicing and get started you’ve been so helpful
Awesome good to see real artists are interested in joining the industry, with you best of luck!
@@yordanovarts.3442 thank youuu so much
YES MAN! YES!

No problem Marylee. I think for the money this machine is a really solid machine. Sure there are other machines that do it better but again for the price its hard to beat. 🤘
If u ever get a chance to use the master Archer, its a great machine....I think you'd like it as well.
Thanks for the info Moto! I will have to look into that machine as I have never used or heard of it...

I’ve been following you for a while and have watched a lot of your videos, thank you for being so open with all the info you provide and not being a “tattoo snob. 😂
That last machine for the giveaway looks like a Mast Pro. That's what I use. I like the way it works.
Yeah I think the last one was a xion knock off as it look identical to it only its not a xion. But im sure someone will make great use out of it. I would rather see the machines being used then just sitting on my desk. And im glad to hear your enjoying the mast pro. I have heard good things but yet to try it out.
@@ArtSomething theyre decent for the price.
Ill definitely be waiting and watching for a giveaway! You rock man. Thanks for all your advice
The research available was perfect timing for those of us looking for something different. I used the Xion Spektra from FK Irons. Very nice pen machine with adjustable options.
I bought the CNC-Q2 due to the research and the motor. I did unfortunately have some issues with my machine after a busy Friday The 13th. Sent the machine to the manufacturer and bought a new one whole I waited. So I now own multiple CNC-Q2 machines. They hit so hard and the lines work is crispy. I'd like to see a version with adjustable stroke. I know there are new lines of machines that come work that. The CNC-Q2 model is great and I highly recommend it.
Try bronc v9 from hummingbird.
nice video 🍻
Thanx so much for your videos, i am not an english native speaker but i understand everything and your videos are so helpful and motivating so far. I totally stand at the beginning and there is still much to learn. I can only afford an old coilmaschine yet. Did you give the cncq2 already away? Go on with your videos, your great and funny, too
just commenting for algorithm, awesome video!
HAHA I LOVE IT!! Thanks Santiago much appreciated!! 🤘🤘🤘
I'm going to be coming over from coils to the Q2 hopefully it will be just as good as them
Thats cool to hear Luke and I look forward to hearing how you like it in comparison to coils. I think you will love it and find yourself never wanting to go back.... but hey thats just my biased opinion lol. But again look forward to hearing how you like it and thanks again Luke always great to hear from you my friend!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@ArtSomething I definitely won't miss the coil noise that's for sure
Just ordered mine can’t wait to use it.
Thank you for everything bro u have helped me alot with scratching bro love ur vids!!
It's difficoult to get the CNC Q2 in Poland ;(. I'm waithing now to go for a tatto course and than for an aprenticeship in one of the studios in Warsaw. Love your vids they are the most packed in knowledge and helped me a lot
I have bought the CNC Q2 it awesome
Great to hear your enjoying the Q2 as well. For the money its a hard one to beat. 🤘
@@ArtSomething yes mate. I bought mine off amazon and stuff on there is usually no good lol . Love it though well easy to use.
Did you notice a difference in the performance of the cmcq2 when you switched power supplies ?
It would be dope to use, I love how short it looks even with the power adapter. Im using a dragon hawk machine with the cord.. Its nice but I'd love to compare the 2 specially if you have nothing but love for that. Congrats on 100k brotha keep up those positive vibes, loving it!
Love the Q2! Awesome update video Dave!
Awesome to hear your loving the Q2 as well!! And thank you Seb really appreciate the support my friend!! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the info man, I've been using the Cheyenne Spirit for years and just recently bought the Thunder since my lining was having trouble on thicker skin.. but now I want a pen style machine for the convenience of wrapping it easier. I checked out your bishops review which ive been thinking about getting but with this recent purchase ( about a month ago) i might save the cash and go with this one
Love you videos!! Keep them coming and looking forward to your giveaway! 😁 Super helpful and full of knowledge!
I just started getting back into tattooing after a 6 year hiatus due to many things but my old coil machines aren't working anymore (imagine that) so I'm glad I found your videos but I can't find the CNC- Q2 and was wondering if you knew anything about the CNC-Q3? I dont know if I should get the Q3 or continue searching for the Q2 would love to hear your thoughts. Also I'm blown away by how much more info there is out there than there used to be, I'm currently binge watching your channel, you make everything so easy and informative and I really appreciate it!
Man I would love to have one of those machines, I just had to go with a $70 model and it's been running ok but I know those machines will be smoother. Love the show and your info! You've helped me a lot bud
Got this machine on Amazon for $118, cyber Monday deal, excited to try it. Your videos are my guide to tattooing, super helpful thank you! Do you have a video though or maybe if you could go over the steps and how to lubricate the machine? I have no idea what supply I would use nor have I heard of doing that tbh, I’m afraid I’ll be missing out lol
Currently using a hawkin, as my first pen style, never used any thing other then coils up untill a month ago when i statted my apprentiship....youve been quite the inspirayion as im learning id realy love to get in on the give away.
give aways too? Lol you're rad dude keep it up. 100k Subs ^_____^ you deserve it
cnc should give you commission for sales. i just bought the q3 pill because of this video :] about to try it out rn
nice video bud
looking forward for giveaway😁😁
CNC should spansor you for sure
Thanks Pouya appreciate that. And Im looking forward to the giveaway as well!! 🤘🤘
I had the same issue with carts sticking in my Axys Valhalla grips... My fix was to put a small amount of Vaseline inside the grip.
i missed the giveaway ?!
ok i guess ill buy it myself then... that barely audible hum is a huge selling point for me tbh and your video really sells the product! still sad i missed the giveaway
Love your videos man can’t wait for the give away
Thanks Fanklin!! And the giveaway should be coming up in a week or so. 🤘
Thanks for the info! Very curious about switching to a wireless power pen type machine. They seem pretty cool.
I felt a little hesitant switching to wireless at first as well. I guess we just get really use to the foot pedal and cord that moving to wireless just seems strange. However I am very happy that I went wireless and can not see going back from here. I guess its not for everyone but its deff for me!
Good info, thanks man!
Another great vid and a fantastic give away fair play to ya keep up the good work thank you for the chance stay safe all
Its really great see those machines,hope i had one.
As a new artist brother I love your content. I have this machine trying to find the perfect machine for me. Looking forward to the give away. Much love from fr bragg Nc
Thank you Crown I really appreciate the support!! I too am looking forward to the giveaway and I hope to have that video out in the next week or so. Much love back at your Crown and thanks for the support from Bragg NC!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Hey Crown much support on your journey to become a great tattoo artist from a fellow tattoo artist from Scotland Neck NC 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💉🔥💪🏼💯
Recently bought this machine, same problem with cartridges not fitting. What brand cartridges do this use
I’ve used a lot of different carts with that machine. The only brand they gave me a hard time was big wasp.
Great info great tips, and all super useful Info thank you
Thank you Nol!! Im glad you enjoyed the video and Thank you for the support!! 🤘🤘
Not a problem keep it up, and if I ever was interested in sending you fake skin for your fake skin submissions do you take parcels from Canada? I'm not great yet but getting there and just picking a machine up again my self like a month ago after not tattooing for almost 5 years just felt right.
I think ima buy this like 3 years later or idk honestly there’s a few that are about 50-65$ that are dope and look so simple and good like the ambition torp, and there 2 other small models then the cnc machines
I love your videos bro
My friend, first of all, thank you very much for all your videos, you help us many and if you recommend this machine for thick lines but I want to give it the 4 mm stroke, I don't know what you think, thank you very much🙏🏼❤️🔥
Hey! You can use the ergo round and ergo 1 inch disposable grips from cheyenne on the cnc q2!!!!
Also you can use the bishop fantom cams (3.5mm and 4.2mm) and is a straight cam swap( the change in noise and vibration on the machine is incredible!!!)
Wow thank you so much for that info. I had no idea that the ergo cheyenne grips work with the Q2. And I had heard that you can switch the cams out as well, but I have never tried it myself. It always great to hear what others are doing and learn something new so thanks you again Ignacio!!🤘🤘
Love the whole channel! I’ve been practicing for 3 weeks from watching your videos and tattooed myself yesterday! Would love to send you the tat see what you think
Can you please take a short video on how to lubricate pen machine....?
YES! the direct drive motor where the bar that hits the needle cartridges..... this came off the pin inside mine. How can I fix that?????? This is exactly what my issues were
I bought the cnc q2 after watching your videos on it and I do love how it feels but wonder, would it be worth buying the 4mm cam for the q2 to get better lines and stipple shading? Also bought the wand shader to have a solid shading piece but since both are 3.5 wondering if I should invest in the cam or new lining machine altogether. Thanks for the videos!
If you have the wand shader, and the Q2, buying a 4.0 cam would be a cheap way to feel out a different throw
Can you please make an review of CNC Q7- tattoo machine
Are you trying the bishop wand?
MAYBE.... 😉
When you mean maintenance for the Q2? What lubricant did you use. And within the year did you have to replace the o-ring?
Super good to hear. I’ve been using the CNC q2 ever since your first review. Which lubricant do you use?
I badly need that..looking forward for give away..haha im tired of using generic coil..
I'm not very educated on the lubrication process and I have the mast tour pen it would be great if you did a video on that I've had mine for a couple months
Great review doode, you rock
I wondering if i won something from ya it would be posible to send it to Ireland?
I really wish to try this machine.
Peace doode
Nice haul again
Ps: i can pay the delivery hehe🤣
What wireless battery/power supply are you using as well?
Would you ever consider doing a give away of one of your machines also great vid
Thanks Viper!!. And Yes, In this video I talked about the three machines I have that I will be giving away here in the next week or so.
What machine would you recommend for someone who's new ?
What lubricant do you use to keep this machine running smoothly long term?
I've used a huckspaulding machine for years but watched your videos and decided to purchase the cnc my first tattoo with it was smooth.
I do want to explore more Wireless machines as well do you have a recommendation on one that's $1000 or under?
Man thanks for the great honest reviews!
I'm currently having a hard time decoding between the cbd q2, art tour pro and bronc v10 or v8
Any thoughts?
I bought a cncq2 on your recommendation but haven’t used it yet. I’ve been using a Bronc short pen which I’m just so used to, it has all the same pluses you mentioned about the Q2, but seeing this video I will probably give it a spin soon. So, what is your new machine?
I have trouble trying new things when what I’m using works. 😂
What lubricant do you use?
Hey I just started watching your videos I want to become a tattoo artist but idk the proper way to start or the proper equipment to get I was wondering if you can help me down this path?
Have you tried the MAST tour pen? That's what I use and I love it!!! But I'm a female and it's very small light and quiet
I have not tried the Mast tour pen. I have heard its a pretty decent machine but again I have not tried it for myself. But its great to hear its running solid for you and that your loving it cause thats what matters most. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel Diana we really appreciate it! 🤘🤘
