HOW to SETUP a WIRELESS TATTOO MACHINE Dragonhawk, Mast, Elite, Cheyenne

[@tobysullivan720]

Thank you for this! I just got out of my apprenticeship and bought my first machine (it’s a pen/wireless machine) and my mentor only had worked with a Kubin rotary, so I had no clue how to set up my new machine or zone. This helped me understand it while keeping cross contamination in mind! Very well done!!!! New subscriber achieved!

[@dravenheart2444]

Ahh thank you 🙏 I’m glad it helped it you . Good luck with your tattoo journey

[@nathancropp4332]

Just bought my first dragonhawk good to know how to set it up

[@maum4auu]

Thank you sm for sharing your knowledge, i just got my first machine and this helped me out a lot!❤❤❤❤❤

[@dravenheart2444]

No worries glad it helped. Safety first 😆🙏

[@jayrosas4236]

I really liked this way of wrapping since I’ve been using ceran wrap and tape and this way seems more easier without leaving tape residue 👌

[@dravenheart2444]

Ahh nice glad it’s helped ya 🙏

[@marcelokunze7711]

LOVED THE GLOVE IDEA!! Thanks man, btw this works great for Ai Tenitas brand too

[@dravenheart2444]

What is ai tenitas ? Never heard of it lol

[@marcelokunze7711]

A pen style machine very similar design wise to the one in the video

[@xzuyia]

Thank you bro I’m a beginner this helped a lot

[@dravenheart2444]

No worries at all glad it helped you 🙏

[@collective.ink_pro8598]

Try that blue barrier protective film strech to the grip until it comes one body and u will see whats the better protection because the film sticks and protect so well

[@dravenheart2444]

Yeah I used to do it that way but it’s really not hard to take you’re grip off and clean it properly. Been doing it for years and never had problems :) appreciate ya input though

[@lukedorrington7455]

I'm a coil man or if I feel like rotary I have a bishop V6 both clip cord, so I take a sandwich bag and snip off one corner and place the machine inside, then the grip through the cut corner and wrap the grip the same way you did here the thing I am guilty of is neglecting the clip cord sleeve

[@dravenheart2444]

Oh nice one bro never even thought to use a lunch bag 😂 if ya only doing fake skins ya don’t need a clip cord. She’ll be right

[@1cory]

In the bio or description you should write down all the tools and equipment you need as well because some people cant make out your accent. Just a little advice for future videos.

[@dravenheart2444]

Oh thank you for the feed back I honestly didn’t even think about that or how bad my Aussie accent was. I’ll do that in future videos for sure :)

[@LokiRocky-l4s]

I understand him stop being rude

[@birdmeat8534]

​@user-ph9ni1vi9b i understand him too, but im also a native english speaker. I can see how accents may be difficult for someone whose first language is different

[@mh-wp9yx]

Hey dude Frick yeah nice work ! Awesome video !

[@dravenheart2444]

Thank you bro 🖤

[@simpledesigndrawing.]

Didn’t know about the paper as a grip… I always just put the grip tape straight on the machine

[@dravenheart2444]

Oh true yeah I like my grips a bit thicker so some times use paper towel to thicken them up and it’s a bit more comfy

[@noramiller2456]

Thank you ❤

[@dravenheart2444]

No worries 🙏

[@ishhyho]

Maybe I missed it but what was the purpose for the paper towel? Wouldn’t you just be able to use the medical wrap?

[@dravenheart2444]

I just use it to make the grip bigger and more comfortable. Basically a cheap alternative to wasting heaps of medical wrap or buying foam grips :)

[@Firulaisneado]

Thank you for sharing, really really cool.

[@dravenheart2444]

Thanks 🙏

[@chomanthapa]

My tattoo needle wobbles and I can't fix it. In traditional machine I would use rubber bands any mod jn this ?

[@richardsalazar9738]

Are these cartridges that are wobbling? If so what brand are you using?

[@dravenheart2444]

Are you using the right size tubes for the needle ? As there all different sizes that could be a factor . Say if it’s a round 9 liner you need a tube for a round 9 liner. Also maybe try and put a slight bend in the needle in the middle so it sits flush against the tube and maybe a tighter rubber band. Hope that helps :)

[@rmo3961]

isit necessary to wrap the machine even when practicing? (just bought it and I'm so lost lmao)

[@dravenheart2444]

No but it’s good practice. May Aswell . With tattooing everything you do. Always say better to be safe then sorry

[@jacobcruz2083]

Do I have to re wrap it every time ???? Please answer

[@dravenheart2444]

Yes hahah

[@TylerSpite]

Always wrap your machine 😉

[@dravenheart2444]

Don’t be a fool wrap ya tool

[@maum4auu]

Dont be silly wrap ur willy😂

[@alexandrahurst9507]

you are amazing, thank you

[@dravenheart2444]

🙏

[@tiffanyann5198]

So is a bigger grip better for control? - Newb here

[@dravenheart2444]

I’d recommend anything that just feels comfortable with your hand. Bigger grip don’t necessarily mean more control :)

[@BushRats]

Well done bro good ep!!

[@dravenheart2444]

Thanks brother 🖤

[@blakefreeden8032]

Whats the benefits of wired over wireless ? Better ergonomics ?

[@dravenheart2444]

Non really besides just the freedom and not getting tangled in ya clip cord. 😂 but they are super expensive not really worth the buy unless ya hate ya clip cord that much lol. I still use non wireless machines

[@greetingcards6451]

I have the same Sol Nova unlimited 3.5, is it possible to do a beautiful line with this? Mine are crispy, I tried many voltages and hand speed but no way :(

[@dravenheart2444]

Nope it’s a terrible machine to line with. Probably the worst machine I’ve used for lining but it does shade smooth. Even packing black with this machine is a stretch. I’d recommend a 4mm stroke or higher for lining anything. Especially using cartridges the membrane system creates a fair bit of resistance for a machine with a 3.5 stroke to pull a good line

[@greetingcards6451]

@@dravenheart2444 Interesting to know! Thank you!

[@palzorsherpa8454]

What was the tattoo machine you mentioned that you use??

[@dravenheart2444]

Cheyenne thunder for lining , and the Cheyenne sol nova wireless to shade with

[@mikezaimis]

Hello tattoo Artist! I have bought a tattoo machine from dragonhawk (mast ancher) and it has a metalic disposible grip. Is it super necessary to buy autoclave or Dry heat machine, or is it posible to cleat it and wrap it properly with out getting in to trouble?

[@dravenheart2444]

I would have to have a look at the set up as I’m not to familiar with that machine. Add me on Instagram draven_heart send me a dm and a few pictures and I’ll help as best I can :)

[@mikezaimis]

@@dravenheart2444 thanks man i followed you keep up your jurney on you tube!

[@friendlyworm420]

@@mikezaimisWhat was the outcome of this? I’ve wanted to get the same machine since it was recommended to me and am wondering about whether sterilization is possible without an autoclave before purchasing. Already made that mistake once before. 😢

[@AngelGruvaldo]

why do you wrap the machine?

[@dravenheart2444]

For cross contamination reasons. Ya should be wrapping it every session.

[@Cjmm007]

I have the same machine bro! Hell ya

[@dravenheart2444]

Ayy there not to bad not great for lining well for me anyway :)

[@dravenheart2444]

Good for black and grey and though :)

[@Cjmm007]

@@dravenheart2444 mine lines pretty good 👍 I can line up to 11rl haven’t tried any bigger tbh

[@Cjmm007]

@@dravenheart2444 I almost wonder if there was a bad batch because I hear half of the people say they can’t line with it and the other half say they can line up to a 18rs one pass even on responsive mode so idk haha mines perfect for everything though.

[@scythianman]

You must have dome size of hand. As I say that's far too much of the grip wrap!. Just my thoughts.

[@dravenheart2444]

Haha nah it’s just what’s comfortable for me it can vary with every person. I do lots of big day sits with realsim and or dots so I need the extra cushioning or my fingers end up hurting a lot. It’s all about preference try it out and see what works best for you 🙏

[@geecee2296]

If we dont have any gloves to cut thumb off can we use a condom instead?

[@dravenheart2444]

If ya want lol . Surely ya can buy gloves at the same place ya get ya condoms

[@natasharomanoff9107]

None of this told me how to insert the cartridge

[@dravenheart2444]

That’s the easy part. This was about setting up ya machine so it’s safe and prevents cross contamination. Cartridges are pretty straight forward pop them in and twist. Then do the opposite to take them out.
