The Quinke V.2S is a rotary tattoo machine made in Japan and hand-finished by craftsmen. It is manufactured by Eru Higa and has a steel frame. It is powered by a Faulhaber motor.
Compared to the Quinke V1, the V.2S has more power, with fewer revolutions and slower motion. This suits styles such as Japanese, American traditional and dot work. It also helps on difficult areas such as the sides and hips. Speed and power need to be balanced, because too much voltage produces too much power and makes inking difficult.
The machine can be customized. It holds autoclavable tubes, tips and grips, as well as disposable tubes. The grips and needle bar suit cartridge needles, so grips and needle bars designed for cartridge needles are recommended. Optional parts change the connection from clip cord to RCA cable. Three cams with different stroke lengths are available, and the cam is also sold separately.
