Does the Primus One need any maintenance?

Sunskin says the rubberized connecting rod in the TI FLEX system requires no lubrication or maintenance. The drive is built from titanium with two bearings, so routine oiling of a mechanical link is not part of ownership.

Can it do both lining and color?

Yes. Sunskin designed it to run lines, coloring and shading with a soft feel, and it needs no adjustment between those tasks. The fixed 3.6 mm stroke is the same for all of them.

What stroke does it have?

It has a 3.6 mm stroke, with a suspension stroke of 0.5 to 1.5 mm. That is a mid-length rotary stroke suited to general work rather than micro-realism or heavy coil-style packing.

What voltage should I run it at?

It runs on 5 to 12 V DC and the motor is rated 12 V, 4.5 W at up to 10,000 RPM. Start low and raise voltage to match your hand speed and the work.

It weighs 4.5 oz (130 g) and measures 90 mm. That is light for a rotary, which helps on long sessions.

Is it good for beginners?

The no-adjustment design and soft hit make it easy to run, but the fixed stroke gives less room to tune the machine to a style. Beginners who want simplicity will find it friendly; those who want to experiment with stroke may want an adjustable machine.

Our take on the Sunskin Primus One Rotary Tattoo Machine

The Sunskin Primus One is a rotary tattoo machine built to run lines, color and shading without adjustment. Its TI FLEX drive uses a titanium jointed lever with two bearings and a rubberized connecting rod that needs no lubrication or maintenance. At 130 g with a 3.6 mm stroke and up to 10,000 RPM, it is a soft-running all-rounder aimed at artists who want one machine for most work. Against adjustable-stroke rotaries it trades tuning flexibility for simplicity and low upkeep.
