Workhorse Irons Dot Box

Small batch of Workhorse Dot Boxes now available!! After many requests we decided to do another small batch of these. Originally we made Dot Boxes about 10 years ago using Pulse Width Modulation to create intermittent power bursts for dot work. But we stopped making them after a few years when some others copied the design and outsourced overseas to make a cheap knock off version. 

This has been a fun side project we have been working on to help turn any coil machine into a dot machine for making Dotwork Tattoos using controlled intermittent power bursts. The Dot Box is simple and easy to use! It works in-line and plugs directly into your power supply in the clip cord hole and has a range of speed controlled by simply turning the delay knob.

Yes, there are many ways to do dots and if you have a strategy that works well for you already, more power to you! Our Dot Box is just a different approach, and if nothing else, a fun tool to play with, enjoy!

For Best Performance:

• The Dot Box works best with medium or slow, hard hitting liners....or any shader
• Quick and zippy light hitting machines are not as effective
• Best dots are made using Tight Rounds....Loose Rounds seem to blow out a little bit
• Some machines need to be turned up a Volt or two for better results
• Not recommended for use with Rotary machines...use with Rotary machines can damage the motor
• Timing of the tattoo machine when in use with the Dot Box will create various rhythms and patterns, adjust voltage and Dot Box Delay for varying performance and effect
• Match hand speed to the intermittent power bursts to ensure clean dot patterns.... if the Dot Box is at a slow setting you will need to move slower, fast setting move faster (duh).

*this is not a power supply, you will still need a power supply, the dot box simply plugs into your power supply.

DK Swift Tips - 9 to 18 Round - Box of 24 Tips (Grip Not Included)

*Must be used with DK Swift Tip Grip

These tips have great visibility and come to a nice point.  The biggest benefit is being able to see more needle even when you don't have a lot of needle hanging out.

The shape of the round tips is in between a round and a diamond. That said, it is the best of both worlds.  It allows for maximum versatility and stability for a wider range of sizes.

This tip configuration is for your larger round needle groupings.

I prefer it for my traditional 9 rounds up to 14. (It still has more room for a larger grouping but would more than likely be for a tight grouping or bug pin if in that 18 Round size.)

If using a tight 9, or 11, or in a bug pin configuration, I recommend the 5-11 size

These tips are hydrophobic and have an antimicrobial additive in them. That said, you may need to check with your local health dept for protocol on single use plastic products used in the tattooing process. (such as ink caps)

*Must be used with DK Swift Tip Grip

These tips have great visibility and come to a nice point.  The biggest benefit is being able to see more needle even when you don't have a lot of needle hanging out.

The shape of the mag tip allows for mor visibility at the end of the tip.  The side wall is beveled back so there is no excess material on the edges. This allows for getting a more precise "cut in" near lines and tight spaces.

Fits 9 mags.
