NEW Guy Le WAVE Liner - Distressed Aqua Blue

This is the second model we have done with Guy and after almost a year of designing and dialing in, these WAVE machines are finally ready! First batch is fully done up with all the polishing and plating, fine details, and custom components. Limited Edition of 10 Liners / Shaders. 

Guest Builder: Guy Le Tatooer

Guy (/ɡiː/) is a world-renowned tattoo artist celebrated for his powerful, timeless tattoos executed with unparalleled precision, skill, and speed. As a second-generation tattoo artist who grew up in a tattoo shop in New Caledonia, Guy has spent most of his life traveling the globe, drawing inspiration from the diverse cultures he has lived in across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Throughout his journey, Guy has specialized in large-scale work, known for his ability to cover substantial areas quickly while minimizing healing time for faster recovery. His unique approach to tattooing led him to modify and build custom machines that run at higher voltages—allowing him to work rapidly while delivering the strength needed for extensive pieces.

Whether you’re familiar with his work or experiencing it for the first time, Guy Le brings a fresh and formidable approach to tattooing that embodies both artistry and innovation.

Highlights:

• Power Liner Machine
• Precision Machined Iron Frame Designed by Guy Le Tatooer
  
• Distressed Aqua Blue Powder Coated Finish
• Custom Hand Wound Coils with Laser Etched Coil Washers and Silver Fish-scale Reflective Tape
  
• Lightly Polished Raw Deluxe Hardware
  

Liner Specifications:

• Medium Speed with a Solid Hit
• Designed to run like Guy tattoos
• Running  around 130-40 Hz Unloaded
• Guy prefers to run these hard at 8-9 Volts, but they also work well at lower voltage at 6-8 Volts for a bit less aggressive tattooing
  
• Setup with O-ring Spring Setup for more power and consistency with higher voltage use. If O-Ring is removed they will be less aggressive and slower at lower voltage. 
• Great for single pass quick and solid lines with 5s to 11s, turn up for 14s to 18s
