Covering skin with solid fields of black isn’t easy. It’s heavy work, it’s patient work, and it pushes both artist and tool to the limit.
Here’s our part: the Vanta-Black
Blackout and tribal tattoos are demanding.
They cover wide areas, push the skin to its limits, and require solid
consistency in the depth and tone of black.
The skin changes—its hardness, its elasticity—and you need a machine that
can adapt without slowing you down or damaging the work.
That’s why we built the Vanta-Black. Not to promise miracles, but to give you
real tools you can rely on.
For those who want to push their pace.
Balanced to stay gentle on the skin while efficient on bold
lines and heavy fills.
An extra kick of torque exactly where you need it:
in those tough spots where slowing down usually costs you consistency. This
feature changes everything.
This is where things get interesting.
The Mercury M-1 is an incredibly efficient machine. Expect 10 to 15 hours of battery life with our ROVER R-1 Universal.
Right now, you’re probably thinking:
“Great, that means I can work an entire day without worrying.”
And that’s exactly what we aimed for—a battery life long enough to give you peace of mind. No more finishing your session with a flashing low-battery warning that makes you nervous.
Plus, the ROVER R-1 uses replaceable lithium cells, so say goodbye to the problem of throwing away a battery after one year of heavy use, as happens with sealed units. With the ROVER you can buy new cells at any electronic store and keep using it for years.
The lithium cell inside the ROVER R-1 is a standard 18350 flat, with a 1,400mAh capacity and a 3A max current.
And if you already own a Critical/Bishop battery that’s compatible with this power port, you can use it too (in fact, you should!).
Battery life will depend on the capacity of the battery you’re using, so your runtime will vary accordingly.
The weight is perfectly balanced so your hand doesn’t suffer in long sessions. And it comes with a stainless steel grip that adds stability to your lines and geometric work—its weight feels like an anchor in your hand, steady and precise.
At the core of Mercury is a 4.5W German Faulhaber motor—the same high-end motor found in other top-tier machines. It has an impeccable reputation, but we’ve taken it to the next level with a custom-designed heatsink.
This heatsink helps keep the motor cool, so you can push it harder for longer without overheating. And that matters—because when motors get too hot, they lose power and slow down.
To get the best heat dissipation, the heatsink is firmly attached to the aluminum chassis with thermal paste, making it even more efficient.
The motor has been meticulously tuned to match the unique feel and response of its stroke length—3.0, 3.5, or 4.3 mm—ensuring that the machine moves exactly as you expect it to.
Each of these three motor configurations has been refined to bring out the best in your technique, making the machine feel like a natural extension of your hand.
The innovation behind the heatsink brings up to a 114% improvement in performance!
The heatsink keeps the motor at its optimal working temperature, no matter what
