Stealth & StealthLite Rotary Tattoo Machine vs EZ Traxex Rotary Tattoo Machine

The Stealth is the better pick for artists who want one machine that covers lining and shading, because its swing length is adjustable across 2mm to 4.5mm and its aluminum frame takes years of daily use. The EZ Traxex is the better pick for anyone who wants a light, fixed-stroke machine with a German Faulhaber motor and a one-year warranty, and who prefers tuning needle drive with plungers instead of bearings. Owners of both describe them as powerful for their size; the Stealth has the longer track record, while the Traxex is the more modern, more tunable design.

• Choose the Stealth if you want adjustable stroke from 2mm to 4.5mm in one machine and a metal frame that holds up to heavy daily use.
• Choose the EZ Traxex if you want a 50g aluminum machine with a Faulhaber motor, three plunger settings and a one-year warranty.
