Wired and Wireless Tattoo Power Supplies FAQs

What's the best voltage for tattooing?

The best voltage for tattooing varies depending on factors such as the type of machine, the tattoo artist's technique, and the client's skin. Generally, the voltage range for tattooing falls between 6 and 12 volts. However, it's important to note that each artist may have their preferred voltage setting based on their experience and the desired outcome. It's recommended for tattoo artists to experiment with different voltages to find the optimal setting that achieves smooth, consistent lines and shading while minimizing discomfort for the client. 

What does the foot pedal on a tattoo machine?

The foot pedal on a tattoo machine serves as a control switch. When pressed with the foot, it completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow to the machine's needle. Releasing the foot pedal interrupts the circuit, stopping the needle's movement. The foot pedal provides the tattoo artist with hands-free control over the machine, facilitating precise and controlled tattooing. The Critical Connect Foot Switch allows artists to wirelessly control the ON/OFF function of the Critical Connect Universal Battery or Shorty Battery packs.

How many batteries do I need for my tattoo machine?

It depends on the individual artist's preference and their specific requirements.

Typically, a single power supply is sufficient for operating a tattoo machine. Tattoo machines are designed to connect to a power supply that provides the necessary voltage for proper functioning. However, it's worth noting that some professional tattoo artists may prefer to have a backup power supply in case of any technical issues or as a precautionary measure.

How do I charge my tattoo batteries properly?

To charge your tattoo batteries properly, use a charger specifically designed for your battery type. Ensure the charger is functioning correctly and connect it to a power source. Align the battery contacts with the charger's terminals, insert the battery securely, and allow it to charge for the recommended duration specified by the battery manufacturer. Avoid overcharging and store batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific battery and charger to ensure safe and effective charging.

What is the longest-lasting tattoo machine battery?

The Critical Connect V3 Battery is the longest-lasting tattoo machine battery that we carry, up to 15+ hours of tattoo time before needing a recharge. The battery life can vary depending on several factors, including the voltage and speed settings used, the type of machine being powered, and the intensity and duration of tattooing sessions. It's important to note that frequent and high-intensity use may result in shorter battery life, while lighter usage and lower voltage settings can extend the battery's duration.
