AVA Tattoo Machines – Performance Without Compromise
AVA is a manufacturer in the professional tattoo equipment segment, specialising in rotary pen machines and wireless solutions. All machines are crafted from high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium and equipped with brushless DC motors that guarantee consistent performance even during long sessions.
What sets AVA apart from many other brands is its focus on practical innovation: voltage control via tilt angle, interchangeable batteries, integrated LCD displays, and separate liner/shader modes are not optional extras – they are standard. This makes AVA machines particularly appealing for artists who want to make the switch to wireless without sacrificing control or reliability.
AVA machines are compatible with all common needle cartridges and are used by professional tattoo artists worldwide. The price-to-performance ratio makes them one of the most compelling alternatives to significantly more expensive brands in the professional segment.
AVA EP9 Wireless Tattoo Machine – Wireless tattooing with a brushless motor
Once you've worked cordlessly, you'll never want to go back. No power supply, no cables getting in the way, no pedal taking up floor space. Just turn on the machine and get started. The AVA EP9 Wireless Tattoo Machine delivers exactly that feeling, and at a price that doesn't really reflect the technology it offers.
The housing is milled from aircraft aluminum, weighs 195 grams, and still feels comfortable in your hand even after a long session. No tingling, no fatigue. The brushless motor runs so quietly and with so little vibration that you forget you're holding a machine.
What really sets the EP9 apart from the crowd are its two operating modes. At the touch of a button, you can switch between liner and shader mode, two fundamentally different frequency profiles optimized for clean contours and evenly saturated areas. Those who previously needed two separate machines for linework and shading can now get by with just one with the EP9.
The voltage control works via the tilt angle of the machine. Simply tilt your hand slightly while working and the value changes immediately. No fiddling with knobs, no interrupting your flow. The LCD display shows voltage, battery level, and active mode. You always have an overview without taking your focus off your work.
The 18500 lithium-ion battery is replaceable. Two batteries are included in the scope of delivery. While one is charging, you can work with the other. Charging time is three to four hours, and each battery lasts four to six hours. With two cells and the included charger, even a long tattooing day is no problem.
The brushless AVA motor rotates at up to 11,000 RPM and runs smoothly even under load. The EP9 is available in two stroke variants: 3.5 mm for precise linework and fine details, 4.2 mm for powerful shading and color packing. The needle extension is infinitely adjustable between 1.5 and 5 mm. The needle module holder is compatible with 99% of all common cartridge systems, from Kwadron to Cheyenne Safety.
Who is the AVA EP9 for?
For artists who want to tattoo cordlessly without spending several hundred dollars, the EP9 is a virtually risk-free entry point. For experienced tattoo artists looking for a reliable second machine or a travel-friendly option, it serves its purpose just as well. The EP9 is fully equipped, robustly constructed, and ready to use right out of the box.

One machine for everything. Liner, shader, SMP, without compromise.
Most tattoo artists have several machines. One for thin lines, one for shading, maybe another for SMP. The GTR makes that obsolete. With five adjustable stroke lengths from 2.5 mm to 5.0 mm, it covers the entire spectrum, from the finest fineline to rich, deep shading. All in one device, all wireless.
The drive comes from a servo brushless motor with 10,000 RPM and direct drive, no gearbox in between, no energy loss. The power lands unfiltered at the needle. This is particularly noticeable with dense color saturation and difficult skin areas where other machines start to struggle. The GTR simply pulls through.
The stroke is adjusted internally via a cam. Five positions: 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5.0 mm. Unscrew the handle, adjust the stroke, done. You don't do this between every stitch, but when you need it, it's done in a minute. Two handles are included, 30 mm and 38 mm, for different hand sizes and working styles.
The display shows voltage, frequency, torque, Bluetooth status, runtime, and battery level in real time. Two modes: Tattoo and SMP, each with its own sub-settings for stippling and SMP work. If you use certain settings regularly, you can simply save them. Two 18650 batteries are included, providing up to 7 hours of runtime, with built-in short-circuit protection in case of incorrect battery insertion.
The housing is made of CNC-milled aircraft-grade aluminum. Light enough for long sessions, stable enough to prevent vibrations from being transmitted. The wireless Bluetooth foot pedal is included, as is the hard-case carrying bag.
Available in black, red, gold, and gray.
