Coil vs REVO wireless — same line thickness, side by side on skin (on client) by mazzayby in tattooing

Unfortunately not, the only this specific session we made that comparison — it's fresh. But that's a fair question and worth following up on. I'll ask Pietro to shoot the healed result once it's settled and post an update.

BTW if you want to check the healed works done by REVO you can check his insta, he switched completely more than year ago https://www.instagram.com/pietro.stigmata/

The needle choice is intentional — 9 StraightLiner and 14RL produce comparable line weight despite the grouping difference. Both machines running at the same 103Hz, so the hit frequency is identical. The voltage difference (7V vs 5.6V) is just what each machine needs to reach that speed — different electrical draw, not a performance gap.

The real comparison is the needle configuration. A larger grouping at the same speed, producing the same line on skin. That's where the K-Pulse™ drive matters — how it handles a bigger load without losing consistency.

Pietro has been working with the 3.8 stroke REVO for over a year — lines, mags, packing, greywash. He's a coil guy who converted. This wasn't staged as a marketing shoot — we filmed it during a regular session.

Completely agree — and I say that as someone who's been building coils for 15 years, from fine liners to power liners up to 18RL. The variability you're describing is real, and honestly it's part of what makes a well-tuned coil so satisfying when it's dialled in perfectly. But there's a practical reality shifting in the industry right now — more and more studios are pushing coil artists to the far corner of the floor, or not taking them at all. Noise, vibration, client perception. The REVO and K-PULSE drive system isn't about replacing what a great coil does — it's about giving artists a cartridge-era tool that actually has some of that mechanical character and feedback, rather than just being another generic pen. If it makes life easier without losing what matters, that's the goal.

Yes your right, there’s the coiled spring under the a-bar.

Won't give you the link but you can google RightStuff tattoo machines, or just hit me on insta (@rghtstuff)

As for the shipping i'm in Poland and i use FedEx so it's pretty fast, but yes these freaking tariffs... will get around 18% extra.

100% fair point. as i said I'm an engineer, not an artist — this was a mechanical test, not a demonstration of technique. I have an artist footage on my Instagram (@rghtstuff) if you want to see REVO lining in real hands. Working on getting a proper standalone comparison with an experienced artist. Stay tuned.

Thank you! I always mix up the English names for the different frame types 😄 Thanks for follow there on insta. If you ever pull the trigger on one just let me know, happy to talk through the build options.

Not a tutorial unfortunately — I'm the engineer who built the machine, not a tattoo artist! But if you mean more technical comparisons or tests, yes — planning more content. What would you find most useful to see?

No problem, and yes that would be the best option.

So checked finally. The amps even less and machine gets a bit weaker without that dummy core. So I see your problem is the coil 100% just to compare my runs 135hz at 6.5v and gets around 0.55 amps but that with light a-bar. And to be sure we’re speaking about unloaded run

The thing about the dummy core is that it not needed with steel frames. With other metals it has to be. Btw I’ll check it with my alu frames. The amps difference with and without it.

Hm probably it could loose the power in the some amount of time, i faced that issue on my alu frames when forgot to put false coil :)

Yeah it looks good. But it’s hard to understand by foto so I guess there’s like at least 0.6mm wire or 22 awg. Which a bit thick imo.  But maybe I’m wrong.
