A few words from Adam addressing Frequently Asked Questions:

1) Is this a liner or a shader? Yes. Adjust the gap and the compression spring via the adjustment screw beneath the frame and you’ve got a whole lot of range that will make a whole spectrum of tat wizardry possible.

2) Will it push cartridges? Yes, once it’s broken in a bit, you can get down however you’d like-I certainly won’t judge you.

3) How long does it take to break in? 1-2 hours of tattooing should do it. How much does it weigh? 5.8 ounces.

4) What types of needle groupings will this thing push? 5 needle outlines and up, 7 mags and up.
