i use a coil machine with a cheyenne hawk adapter it's awsome you can so everything with it. Line work, shading, color work, works really good! and you have the nice sound of the coil machine
Hello Anrijs , I'm a big fan of you , I follow and love all your works , I 'm trying to become a tattoo artist and all your advices will help me a lot , thanks for your availability , and you really look like a very good person , Thank you for the inspiration you give to me. I will treasure every word you say P.S me and my girlfriend adore your family . Love from Italy
hey anrijs your work is amazing you are great artist.. this machine and thunder can use it whith disposable cartridges grips ...? i hope can you guide me.
you can use them with EGO disposable cartridge grips. google it. or you can buy FK irons universal vice connector to make this vice version into standard grip and use it with any disposable cartridge grips. ( I show it in this video )
Hi Anrijs. What is on your opinion better for black and grey work? Pen or spirit? I got a pen and thinking to change it for spirit, as I read a lot about pen they breaks pretty often
my pen hasn't break in 2+ years. I heard allot people complaining about them braking, but I honestly don't know what they do with the machines to break them. both are good machines for black and grey, I cannot answer witch is better. JUST black and gray maybe spirit. but I prefer to use pen as I do some lines with it too.
I can do good black and grey with any cam really. sometimes I use and prefer 2.8 , other days 3.4 or even more. The best will be what will work best for you.
my main question is if you use a different power supply besides the pu from cheyenne it's heavily endorsed to get a start up chord do you need to use a start up chord to run the cheyenne machine's on a standard powersupply . thanks for your videos man greetings from arkansas
I think you need to use the startup cable only for Cheyenne Thunder machine. This supply will run other machines with no problem. I don't use startup cable for Cheyenne Hawk and Pen machine, and I've been using it for more then 1,5 year already , no problem. I'm not electrician to understand all details about it, but it works for me. not sure on other supplies , I guess it's just easier to get that cable and do it all right way.
I would go for rotary myself. I'll try to describe it all in next few videos . I think if you're apprenticing you need to listen to what your boss say's and what he suggest's as he will be the one who will teach you everything.
hello! big fan of your work, have you tried the tunder? i have the spirit and was thinking about the thunder for lines, havent seen a review of yours on it! thanks!!
Vincent Comeau I have the same question and i just wanted to know if your question ever got answered I like doing a lot of letters but also want something for realism have you tried out the thunder and if so what’s the difference
I want an allround tattoo machine, but I am not sure if i should get one of cheyenne’s like the spirit or the inkjecta flite nano. Which one do you recommend?
th-cam.com/video/MrpJ9dHiNLM/w-d-xo.html her's video where I talk about liners. right now my personal favourite for lines too - th-cam.com/video/k5RGtWPaCw8/w-d-xo.html
wait! you said that you can adjust the stroke by rotating grip. Don't get me wrong but isn't it for adjusting needle protrusion by rotating the grip, cheyenne spirit has 3mm direct drive stroke which you can't adjust.
I already explained in comment's that English is not my first language and unfortunately I do mess up some word's. You can read all info about product's etc on the link's bellow. that will give you detailed full info about anything you want or anything I forgot to mention.
Hello. I would like to ask how does the Spirit do linework? I've read some comments that the Thunder is better, because Spirit won't do good lining with needles larger than 5rl. Yet to use the Thunder you need the Cheyenne Power Unit. And I am looking for a machine which will grant a good, smooth lining with 9,11 rl and also color packing. Now I am thinking Phantom Oil or Cheyenne Hawk Spirit. I am not sure if Phantom Oil would work with cartridges if I bought a special cartridge tube so...I wonder how do you rate the Spirit as it comes to linework? Thank you :)
I do some lines with spirit, but I don't think it's a liner machine. I wouldn't do lettering tattoo or line whole back piece with it. same with thunder. it does punch harder and has extra stroke , but I wouldn't still use it as my main liner. I know people use both machines for line work,I just don't think it's the best to line with cartridges. I believe you can use thunder with any power supply. with some of them you will need to get ''startup cable'' but with Critical power pack you don't need to get anything extra. it works with no problem.
Thank you for your response. I was thinking about it intensively and finally I ordered Phantom Oil by Tattoome about which you were speaking in your other video :)
I know I'm pretty late just seeing this video now, but I'm hoping you can answer a question for me. I'm an apprentice right now, and the Hawk Spirit is the first machine I bought. I've been using it for a couple of months now, doing mostly simple outline tattoos, but I keep having to touch up people's tattoos because the lines are falling out a bit during healing. Is there a rotary you recommend specifically for lining? Any help would be appreciated Anrijs, I love your vids
Hawk spirit is not really liner machine. If you want to keep Cheyenne machines , I would suggest you to switch to Thunder or pen, that will suite more line work and should be lot better. but I think best liners will be - Direct drive machines or coil machines specific for lining. almost any brand will be good.
I have been using this a few days and I found the skin getting like red blood spots like a scratchy irritation or something after even just 2 passes. What could this be? The machine running too fast or slow compared to my hand or something? I am using 0.30 soft edge mags
Hey anrijs I bought a bronc pen and I noticed ink was going on the other side of the the cartridge inside the pen how do i disinfect it and clean it thank you for your videos
yes, I think they changed it recently to 2,5 . It used to be 3mm and older models are still 3mm. some suppliers still stock older ones , it's still possible to get 3mm.
Okay i think mine must be a 3mm then. Thanks ! I just wanna say man you are a true inspiration to me not only in tattooing but also in my choice to go vegan and I am currently working on going straight edge. Keep doing what you do man ! -Braden Selkirk
and i just gotta say while i have yur attention, you are my favorite tattooer of all time ! you have inspired me to find my own style of trash polka portraits, though i have much to learn still
Hey one thing I've really been scared about with this particular machine (apart from the thunder and the pen) is that can you use it with another power supply that isn't from Cheyenne and if so how do I go about using the spirit version of the Cheyenne with a different power supply do I need the start up cable ? Or does it work without a start up cable?
all Cheyenne machines works with critical power supplies with no startup cable. spirit will work with almost any good power supply without any startup cables. you will still need - Cheyenne Hawk Headphone Plug 6.3mm (Headphone Jack 3.5mm) to connect it to your power pack.
Thank you very much for the advice feel very humbled being able to ask you things and have your help and advice thank you anrijs feel a lot more confident getting hold of this machine without any bumps in the road just wanted to know if it was worth having without having to adapt to one machine now I know it won't be a problem thank you man :)
14 + lines will be good only with coil machine in my opinion. but I know artists who can do lines with any machine, Cheyenne or other Rotaries. so it's all up to you and practice.
Anrijs Straume Tattoo I've decided to buy a Cheyenne Pen machine, and wait some months before to buy a coil machine just for big lines. I'll practice so much, hehe. Thanx a lot, you are a good guy, bro. Greetings from Colombia.
I'm not sure, never used that pack and I'm not electrician, you should check in the manual, maybe something about that there, or contact them about it.
irfan yüksel, that machine needs the starter kit by Cheyenne. The Critical that Anrijs is using doesn't need it but u get that adapter and u should b able to use it with the Atom. Contact Cheyenne to be 100% sure. Hope it helps.
depends what are you looking for. There's no better or worse. almost any tattoo machine can be best machine to some artist and worst machine to others.
Hello!!! Is it possible to compare the Cheyenne Hawk Spirit and the Xion S??? I am starting my semi permanent/ permanent make-up micro pigmention journey and I am in contact with both companies and of course there pitch lines are on point as both machines are good for what i will be doing. Thank you much in advance!!!
it is possible , but I don't have plans for video like that. Cheyenne spirit is 10 years old machine, what's original was designed for permanent makeup too I believe. but it was working better for tattooing. Xion S is brand new machine , actually designed for that too, with many updates. 2 separate cams , slim grip , stroke options and also it is really comfortable shape for permanent makeup procedure + it's more safe to use it as the grip can actually be properly sanitised. I believe that's the number one to go for. FK irons has separate youtube channel , where they show their machines in details and go through options , I believe they have XionS there too , so you can check those videos and see what you think.
Anrijs Straume Tattoo Thank you so much for taking the time out and replying back to me. Your feedback has really helped me finally choose my first machine although who ever i have spoken to has told me to go for a German make as there still one of the best on the market still to date, i was actually hoping that someone advised me differently. Thank you!!! Luv Luv your beautiful work and you very helpful tutorials/videos!!!
I've done colour tattoos only for the first 5 years I was tattooing. I have good experience in that too and I know how it work's with black and gray and colour. This machine is with smaller cam and slower motor, it's better form black and grey work, that's what they advertise it for too ! You can do colour with it too, no problem.
Yep. it might be cool look how you work !! already seen it in Monami's channel, but that's never enough. love your works so much
i use a coil machine with a cheyenne hawk adapter it's awsome you can so everything with it. Line work, shading, color work, works really good! and you have the nice sound of the coil machine
Awesome review! Do you feel this would be good for dot work? Specially SMP head tattoos? Thanks!

Hi. You did lines with Cheyenne Thunder? Can have a fix and stabile needle moving for lines for perfect accuracy?
Hey man great video, im not sure if to buy this for my first machine or go with the hawk pen? can you please help haha
I think Hawk Pen is more suitable for the first machine. You can also use disposable grips with it , what could be better for a start.
Thanks for the video, appreciate your insight and the time you took to share with us. ✌🏼

The best will be what will work best for you.
Great vid bro...
So do you use cheyenne power supply & cartridges....? Or do you have a cheaper option for both that work ?
I don't use cheyenne power pack, I use some needles from them sometime.
I'll soon upload video about powerpack . and needles too.
Thanks brother
Your amazing artist hey man do you know if I can use any cartridge on this machine

To start I was advised to use the coils machines! Is better than rotatory machines or no?
I would go for rotary myself. I'll try to describe it all in next few videos .
