Neuma 4 Macro Tattoo Pen - Black
Important note!
In order to guarantee the longevity of the machine, the maintenance prescribed by the manufacturer is absolutely necessary! Oil the cam about every 100 hours of running time + when changing the cam.
Pour the added oil into the bottom of the cam (until 1 drop passes)
Cam and motor pin are now oiled, so that the necessary lubrication is ensured
This is the new Neuma 4 MACRO Tattoo Pen made of aluminum. It has the same mechanism and the same cams and bearing arms as the Neuma 4 mode, with a larger motor with 50% more power!!
This pen is designed for use with larger groups of needles or for anyone who prefers to tattoo VERY hard and fast. It's just right for you if you're looking for the hardest hitting machine!
The game changer: Neuma 4!
The Neuma 4 is a tattoo pen with a rotary drive and a newly developed transmission, which makes the pen feel like a coil machine when working and also has a similar effect on the skin.
At the same time, you retain all the advantages of a rotary pen, such as reliability, easy configurability, low maintenance and high ergonomics.
Due to the coil machine-like behavior, the needle pierces straight into the skin, which causes far less trauma and achieves clean results.
The highlight: The cams
A cam is a cam that changes the dwell time of the needle and the time it takes to penetrate and out of the skin.
What is meant by this is: How quickly in and out again and how long does the needle stay in the skin during this process and why at all?
Lining – Shading – Blending – Colour Packing
Each tattoo style comes with different requirements. Which machine with which feature do you use for which style?
The stroke determines how fast, short=hard or slow=soft, the needle hits the skin and how quickly it retracts. Based on the cycle of a complete needle movement – i.e. 1 x there and 1x back again – time span = 100%, the needle remains in/under skin for different lengths of time (dwell time) due to a change in stroke.
In general, the lower this percentage, the faster the hand movement can be. Higher percentages are better for slower hand movements.
Neuma takes advantage of this and has developed 4 different "cams". Each cam changes the dwell time in a different way and is adapted to the respective tattoo style. They allow you to Art, like the needle that penetrates the skin and lingers to tattoo any style of tattoo with a machine.
And since each machine comes with 4 cams, you only need one machine: The Neuma 4 Tattoo Pen.
- the 20% Cam: Ideal for straight and clean lines – quick in, quick out. This cam is already in your Neuma 4 tattoo pen when it is delivered
- the 28% cam is ideal for quick shading – a little slower in, but fast, as at 20% out again
- 33% Cam is ideal for smooth transitions in multi-layer gradients and slower shading – even a little slower in and as fast as 20% out
-
the 40% Cam is ideal for slow hand movements or for large or full color areas – as slow as at 33% and very slowly out again
Changing a cam is very easy: the pen can be opened with a twisting movement. After that, you can simply remove the inner cam and replace it with another one.
The cams determine the stroke: the stroke.
You can choose between 2.75, 3.6 or 4.2mm. There are 4 cams for each. You can order these individually or as a set. As standard, the machines are equipped with the 4.2mm version.
The needle protrusion can be infinitely adjusted by a rotary knob on the top of the Neuma 4 tattoo pen.
In addition, the hit can be changed by replacing the bearing arm. The heavier the bearing arm, the harder the hit. A 5g brass bearing arm is pre-installed.
For a softer hit, there's a separately available 1g aluminum bearing arm. Here, too, the replacement is relatively easy - a corresponding Allen key is of course also included.
Overall, the Neuma 4 Tattoo Pen is equipped with one of the most configurable tattoo machines worldwide.
What exactly makes the difference?
The fundamental difference between coil machines and rotary machines is, of course, first and foremost the type of drive.
The developers of Neuma have taken a closer look at the differences and found that they relate specifically to the effect and behavior of the needles. These differences influence both your work behavior and feel and the interaction with the customer's skin.
Why? Or: How does the needle penetrate the skin and how long does it stay there? And why this is more important than you think.
In coil machines, the drive is direct or linear. This means that the springs of the coil machine and thus the needle rod/needle are moved up and down by electromagnetic impulses, and very straight, the needle quickly bumps against the skin and comes back quickly – it "stings" because it "only" moves in two directions.
In rotary machines, the needles push back against the resistance of the skin due to the rotating movement and only then penetrate through the skin. The rotating drive is also transferred to the needle, which means that it "shovels" into the skin more than it stings, which can lead to additional trauma to the skin tissue. This effect is not as pronounced with rotary pens, which does not change the dwell time.
If you take a closer look at the dwell time it takes for a needle to penetrate and extrude, you will notice that the length of time the needle stays in the skin varies greatly between the different types of drive: In conventional rotary machines, the needle stays in the skin for up to 40% of this time, compared to about 10 - 15% in a coil machine.
With a conventional rotary machine drive, this and the "shoveling" of the needles leads to "snagging", which traumatizes the tissue more and/or can cause you to change your approach, e.g. to achieve good lines or a desired effect.
Is there more? Oh yes.
The lack of "give" of traditional rotary machines, which bobbin machines naturally have and make them so popular, leads to problems, especially with the way the needle interacts with the skin.
The often added "give" on Rotary machines can damage the skin even more.
Why?
Originally developed to mimic the "give" of the bobbin machine, reduce "snagging" and cause less skin trauma or better healing, this effect unfortunately only reaches you, but does not change the way the needle gets into and under the skin.
Because "you" have the feeling that tattooing feels gentler, whereas the "give" only extends the dwell time of the needle in the skin and that up to 50%, which can lead to even more tissue damage.
By removing all forms of "give" from their drive mechanisms, Neuma eliminates unknown variables and can even determine the "dwell time" by the cams themselves.
