THE HAWK FAMILY – Which tattoo machine for what purpose

We often receive messages in which we are asked what the HAWK Thunder is most suitable for or which of our machines is perfect for lining or shading. 
In order to shed some light on the subject of HAWK by Cheyenne, it is worth taking a closer look at the three bestsellers and examining their advantages:

The low weight of the HAWK Thunder paired with great ergonomics will guarantee a safe, clean and joint-friendly tattoo session. Its 4mm stroke additionally provides full power for crisp lines.

Since the HAWK Thunder is so wonderfully light and has barely noticeable vibrations, long tattoo sessions with high precision are no problem. The machine has a stroke of 4 mm, so the strength of the HAWK Thunder is mainly its lining, color packing and dotwork abilities.

Things got really innovative at Cheyenne with the development of the HAWK Pen, the world's first tattoo machine in pen form. This design was later even awarded and inspires not only experts, but especially tattoo artists. Until today it has been copied countless times - but the original is only available from us. With the HAWK Pen you work as if you were holding a pen in your hand. The boundaries between art and tattoo merge even more and the perfect ergonomics ensure comfort and complete freedom of movement. Like its predecessors the HAWK Pen works quiet with basically no vibration, which guarantees you long tattoo sessions without fatigue and pain in the wrist.

Here is an overview of all the features of the HAWK Pen:

• Lower vibration and volume than comparable products 
• Stroke from 3.5 mm/0.14 inch
• Responsive Mode for reactive hit and stitch frequency
• A good tattoo machine for both lining and shading
• Can be customized with 2 HAWK Pen grips of different sizes (S: 22.0 mm/0.87 inch, M: 25.4 mm/1.00 inch) and our Disposable Grips, available in three sizes - the hygienically and securely packaged grip solution
