Ambition Torped 28mm Rotary Tattoo Machine Short Pen with Brushless Motor Professional Cartridges Tattoo Gun with RCA Cord for Tattoo Artists

This has been my main machine since I got it. Works well for lining, shading, and coloring, making it a one-man-band of tattooing. Got 2 batteries so I could always use it cordless. I have a Neotat Vivace, a Swashdrive Whip, and several other machines, but I use this. The only thing that remains to be seen is how long it will last.Pros: With the Ambition Kuark battery, I get about 6.5 to 8 hours running at 6.7v to 7.2v. The adjustment clicks crisply into place as I turn it. Very efficient, quality machine, so far.Paired with the battery, it's an excellent wireless option for the price.Cons: getting the threads lined up to thread in the back cap can be a real challenge (be careful during reassembly).It's so short that without the battery it feels awkward in my hand, like a tattoo machine version of a golf pencil. Not a big deal, just takes a little time to get used to.There is a slight delay to start up that is accompanied by a high-frequency sound, so if you use a pedal and cord you will practically *have to* get used to toggling power on/off and leaving it running most of the time.

This is my second Ambition machine. Started with a Soldier then purchased some big names to see what the hype was about.. i must say from my 3 years of professional experience, i could have saved 2 grand! These machines work just as good for daily drivers IN THE RIGHT HANDS.. it’s the Painter NOT the Paint brush.. & it took me a while to realize this. So let me save you some money, these machines are being manufactured for less than 1/10th the price.. even if it only lasted me 3 months, it pays for itself after 1 session lol.The “Torped” was slimmer than i expected upon inspection, coupled with a short Kuark RCA battery by Ambition its about the same size as my Flux and Power wand.. i love that i can fully take it apart in order to PROPERLY sanitize.. which unfortunately is not talked about enough in this industry at the moment🤷🏻‍♂️.The 5.0 cam is a bit punchy for my taste but blasts in lines.The 4.0 pre installed cam runs BEAUTIFULLY and shades like butter, but i found the 4.5 cam to be my personal favorite.. i can lay down lines, stipple with zero snags & pack any skin with ease.For $69 BUY THIS MACHINE..will it last forever? NO.. but no machine will, and i have less issues with these than i have had with big name brands which says a lot..Enjoy the aluminum Gold finish, Hollow cup motor with easy interchangeable stroke design, CLICK GRIP, Ease of cleansing, Size & Power, Even reminds me of Cheyenne style grips.If you’re not on the “brand bandwagon” & have knowledge of tattooing don’t be scared to give the Torped a go! It’s a solid machine & im pretty impressed after 3 months of use with quality needle cartridges.

Es una máquina muy buena y fuerte me gustó mucho porque es ideal para hacer tatuajes pequeños no pesa mucho y tiene buen agarre

Made these two tattoos using the 4mm cam and a 10-03rl at around 6 volts. This machine is a powerhouse. It does have a bit more weight to it than some comparable machines but its kinda nice, it feels solid and well built. Easy to wrap and barrier for safety and easy to clean. I suspect that this machine will last for hundreds of hours of tattooing. Ordering a second one!

This is a solid little investment, hits just as well as the bishop liner 5.0 mm stroke, laid down smooth use a 9rl, also switch it up to the 4.5mm stroke to test the packing of solid black and color as well. Very pleased with it, buying a second just to have both strokes available to to use.

I absolutely love the design of this unit! I was extremely excited to receive it, and begin work on some detailed shading with the lower stroke cam. After receiving the unit and unboxing the package, which is done very well by ambition, to test the unit, I plugged it in to my Bronc power supply and started it up. I noticed a very high pitch wine coming from the unit before the motor actually engaged and took a few seconds to reach the machines “top speed” as it were. It behaved very much like revving up a car engine. Changed out to a battery power supply to verify that was not the issue and the Torped behaved the same. Fully engaged there seemed to be no issue with its performance but I do not have another unit to compare cycles per second. However, upon every start and stop, it produces the high-pitched wine I mentioned and takes time to reach it maximum cycles per second. Does this affect the machines capability while in use is my main question. One can only ascertain that there is an issue with my particular motor. The ambition Shura that I have behaves in a very different manner, and is quite possibly my favorite machine for lining! Just be prepared to except that occasionally with the scope of all of the motors and equipment that they sell, there may be a unit that does not operate as one thinks it should. Mine just happens to be one of those. Hopefully ambition takes note.

Ambition makes great quality machines at a reasonable price! This one is a beast with the 5.0, thanks again ambition!
