Bishop Wand Liner and Packer - review

[@christopherdorazio1705]

This liner improved my tattooing more than I'd like to admit.

[@TattooShopTalk]

It's a good investment

[@Bulkvanderhuge]

Are these the ones with 5mm+ throw? As far as I know rotaries absolutely have not been great for lining. I was thinking of investing in this but I need to be sure this thing can hammer lines fast on areas other than a calf for example. Can it line fast single pass on ribs etc ?

[@chong3201]

Dk sidewinder is my liner. I don’t know if I will ever swap it out but I love the shader. I may try a packer or liner from bishop

[@VictorMendoza-oz4fz]

What voltage do you run for lining

[@techne9992]

Surprised you didn’t mention the newer ones. Where they teamed up with critical . Best machines and best battery. Magnetic connection. The shader is very different then the other two. The motor is weaker with a give of sorts. Really nice for smooth shading and fine lines.

[@angusmcdeath8403]

I've seen a few comments on the bishop Facebook page complaining about the batteries

[@TattooShopTalk]

Complaining about what?

[@polarmike76]

I'm not a fan of how lines heal with the Bishop Liner. Used it for a few pieces at the lower end of 6 volts, pieces take longer to heal, lines become raised. Single pass lines, no blowouts/hazing at the time of tattooing as well, but just bad heals. Not everyone, but way more than I'm comfortable with. The only Liners I would recommend with this machine would be 9+, otherwise the thing just shreds. I swapped back to my Inkjecta for lining and haven't had any issues since.

Do you use saniderm?

[@bullsheeptattoo]

Can you please do an Acus M1 review. It's probably the most versdatile and complete machine ever made, specially with the stroke cams coming out. I'd love to know what do you think about it.

[@TattooShopTalk]

I wish I had a chance

[@SVNT0]

Been eyeing up the wand for a couple of months now.. packer has been sold out since they arrived in my country lol

[@TattooShopTalk]

I think they might be focusing on pushing their new products by now

[@Relativechapter]

The only rotaries I have used are Dan Kubin sidewinders. Would you say the liner is more similar to those machines? Also how do you find the liner performs on more sensitive areas and the packer on harder areas?

[@TattooShopTalk]

Sidewinder is way more effective used with bar needles also way more wild. Liner Wand is closest thing to it. On sensitive areas you want to be careful with both. I would say on very elastic areas liner does better job.

[@Relativechapter]

@@TattooShopTalk Yeah what Inlike aboutbthe sidewinder is the option to use the clipcord polarity to get a passive hit on more sensitive areas. Would you say the liner is better then a coil on more elastic skin as well?

[@TattooShopTalk]

@@Relativechapter I would say coils or coil like machines like Dan Kubin are better and more efficient (if tuned right). Wand Liner with a good cartridge is not bad and it is way more comfortable. I don't think that someone who is all comfortable with their coils or Kubins will find liner as better option but it is close

[@christopherdorazio1705]

@@TattooShopTalk my last and best tattoo was done with a side winder and non cartridge needles. he had 2 one for packing and one for lines. It hurt allot more than usual but healed great. It made me want the damn things.

[@m0gel]

Hi! Thanks for the review! I had somewhat the similar thoughts. I am using a kubin v3r atm and i am trying to get a reference point of which one of these is the most similar one, but what i see is that the liner is the most similar to a v3r? I do like bold traditional work.

[@Tattoosbyjosh1]

Hey bro thank you for the video, so I’ve seen people say you can’t pack black with the liner or aren’t supposed to, to me that doesn’t make sense lol, but have you done solid black with the liner and if so have you seen it healed? Cause I planned on using the liner for lining/solid blacks/stippling, any advice will help, thanks again for the video!!!!

[@TattooShopTalk]

I have attempted by accident to use it as packer and it is very strong and you have to be very careful not to chew up skin. Lining and stippling is what it is intended to used for

[@Daggerpathtattoo]

Have you tried the stainless steel grip? Looks like it will add some weight for better lining

[@TattooShopTalk]

No I have not. I have not seen it at any of suppliers that I order from.

[@julive565]

Bishop alllllllll daaaay 🙏🙌

[@JurisDaugulis]

Agree

[@TattooShopTalk]

Yes

[@VictorMendoza-oz4fz]

What bishop do you run

[@bdee1084]

Are the motors different. I’m wondering about the markings on the liner wand motor

[@TattooShopTalk]

From what I know - Packer and Liner should have same brushed motor and Shader have different one which was brushless. I might be wrong as well

[@bdee1084]

@@TattooShopTalk yes yes. From what I’ve gathered the packer and liner have a bit bigger motor. 🫡

[@karlojuratic]

What you recommend for polimesian (maori) lines and packing?

[@TattooShopTalk]

If we are talking Bishop Wands then - liner for lining and packer for packing and shading. Personally I would line with either Dan Kubin or Q Luna machine with bar needles unless it's easy placement then I would go Wand liner because it's more comfortable

[@peterjohnporrata4866]

compare the vad blad & inkjecta flite 1

[@walkinggod]

I think the same, because just buy them and then not liking it and you realize that u spend all that money and the machine is not for you and that sucks.

[@BeckyAngelix]

I don't get how you're supposed to do 3RL whip shading with the liner wand. I can sometimes do it with the packer but honestly I always go for my FK Irons Xion for 3RL dot shading stuff - the liner just chews the skin up so fast. I love the liner for everything else though! I haven't met the grouping it can't push.

[@OhItsTeddy]

turn it down....

[@Epig420]

Just put it on 4v smh

[@geemad4681]

As you said, it's a liner. Whip SHADING, is shading. So if you do a lot of whip shading, it would be best to have the shader for that.

[@OhItsTeddy]

@@geemad4681 that’s not true….a liner and a shader can be interchanged with technique. I use the liner for shading and packing all the time. I use the shader for lining too as well as the packer for lining. I can tattoo with a doorbell if I need to, machines don’t make the tattoo, they just make something’s easier Dot work is easier with a longer stroke, it’s that simple, slow the machine and your hand down for desired effect. They are tools, just gotta know how you use them

[@geemad4681]

It's all about technique, something you would need to show someone, to see where you are going wrong if you've made all the adjustments and it's still happening. A nice In-between one, all fits one, would be the packer. But that's just my opinion.

How is the packer on low volts? 4volts +

[@TattooShopTalk]

It's slow and on tighter cartridges you may need to use kickstart to get them moving. What would you use it for at low voltage?

[@Sunflower-og1lm]

Which machine I can use 3RL for shading?

[@TattooShopTalk]

Both. I would say liner would be better because you can run it low and it still punches but it's a beast of its own. Packer is more of an all rounder and safer choice. It would be great if you could try them first

[@neda.khl6]

So if i am doing fineline stuff with 1RL-3RL 0.25 which should i use ? Packer or liner ?

[@TattooShopTalk]

In my personal opinion and experience I would go with Shader. If you have a very good control then maybe Packer. They claim that liner can do all lines but for me it would be too strong for small lines. Liner would also be good for dot shading because it's punchy and you can run it slow. That's my answer that doesn't answer anything

[@painville]

They don’t work on low voltages, you should mention that

[@TattooShopTalk]

How low do you mean and what for?

Overpriced ( they are 20 pens on the market wich are much cheaper and even better than Bishop products )….Mildly expressed….Shader, packer ,liner =all together over 3000€…..(((. Vlad Blad Ultron pen 2 ( universal machine )- 800€, Vlad Blad Avenger 2 pro ( you got 6 different strokes and much stronger motor than any Bishop machine ) - 700€……… For example…On the end of the day, it's a matter of taste, so this is my personal humble opinion….
