🔥 The Shiv: Forged from 5 Years of Dedication. It's Ready. 🔥
After five years of intensive work, numerous revisions, and dedicated R&D, The Shiv is complete and ready for you.
This journey began with the Saber. I poured everything I had into it at the time, and I'm incredibly grateful for the feedback I received. Taking every lesson learned, I embarked on a redesign two years ago, driven to create one pen that could truly do it all.
Consistent with my other builds, The Shiv incorporates the same trusted formula for power and dependability. I've also made a magnetic RCA/battery top (your choice!) standard, featuring a proprietary cam to ensure true versatility.
Experience the performance:
Lining: Sharp and precise, like a laser-guided shark 🦈.
Color Packing: Solid and powerful, like a moving truck 🚛.
Shading: Beautifully smooth and consistent, like butter 🧈.
Engineered for the artist:
Compact 44mm grip – short and perfectly balanced for effortless line work.
Durable Type 3 hard coat anodizing.
Autoclavable, ensuring you have a genuinely clean tool 🔫.
Versatile Magnetic RCA or Battery 🔋 option.
A powerful 12-volt, 17,500 RPM motor with incredible, dialed-in torque.
This was a full-circle moment in my building process. I went back to what I know and simplified my approach. I sincerely appreciate everyone's feedback on all my builds; it’s the only way to grow and means a great deal. I strive to deliver the best tools within my ability and always aim to give back to the tattoo gods. This is not your run-of-the-mill, factory-made pen.
I design, build, and perfect these machines myself through relentless trial and error. As a one-man builder, I rely on the incredible support of others in this trade. When you support me, you support my family, my life, and my business, allowing me to continue creating. Thank you. 🙏
Plus, each Shiv arrives in a kick-ass box featuring artwork by the talented @davecummings!
