Joshua Bowers Big Can Rotary Tattoo Machine

We are very excited to welcome Joshua Bowers to the Workhorse team with his Micro and Big Can Rotary machines! Joshua has been tattooing for 13 years, building machines for 11 and specifically building and dialing in his Rotary machines for the last 5 years. He is a great addition to our lineup with his years of artistic experience and wealth of knowledge in machine dynamics and functionality.

A Few Words From Joshua about this machine:
Super smooth and consistent machine. Powerful through the whole stroke but designed to back off slightly in the middle and back end of the stroke to prevent overworking the skin. Super versatile, great for color saturation, blending, and even black and gray. Plenty of stroke to hang out for nice traditional whips or back it up and increase the voltage for smooth saturation. Has a penetrating stroke down to 4 volts which is great for stippling.

- CNC Single Piece Body
- Black Zinc Finish
- Deluxe Brass Hardware
- Weighing 4.4oz
- Runs best around 7-7.6 Volts
- Pushes any grouping with ease
