Hawink Rotary Short Pen Tattoo Machine with German FAULHABER Motor CNC-Q2

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to for this machine. And no, this is not a paid review.I bought this machine back in May of 2020 and have been using it ever since. It has run flawlessly from 5v-10v. It is extremely easy to break down and clean. It’s small enough to fit in my hand comfortably and not weigh too much. The quality you get for $180 is amazing.The 3.3mm stroke is all around good. A 4mm stroke definitely would make this better for lining, but I’ve adapted my techniques to fit it.The adjustable needle depth is also nice, it’s extremely handy for swapping between liners and mags.I’m looking at adding a CNC P6 to my collection since this one has treated me so well. HAWINK, hit me up for a sponsorship 😁

I love the machine. I did this back tattoo and the reason I say buy 2 because I had one blow up on me but I was useing it for like a whole year back shot full sleeves full chest honestly a great machine I just got me 2 more

The media could not be loaded. Ok let me just say this is a very early review, first day out of the box this machine felt like quality. Used it for one full tattoo and I absolutely love it. The quality of the build and the strength of the motor is comparable to the Cheyenne sol. I am a professional and I dabble in cheap machines but this is the best cheap machine I’ve ever used. I will do a later review but the tattoo I posted is the one I did with this machine. scouts honorAfter a few days and several large full day sessions I am in love with this machine, it actually reminds me of the professional pen rotary brand STYLUS more than the hawk pen but for the price you can’t beat it. I bought 2. Comes with rca and a cheapo tester cartridge. The only thing I would say is watch where the motor twists into the pen. It can vibrate loose. Also I would immediately buy super lube to keep the motor running smooth. They do not come very lubricated.. the king tut is my most recent tattoo done with this machine

I’ve been using my CNC pens for about a year now when I bought my first one I imediately bought a second one shortly after and I just placed an order this week for a third!!! They are just so short and stable and they really pack they can do anything I need just by adjusting the voltage on my power supply I really love how versatile these machines are for me this is the best direct drive pen I’ve ever used and I have $700 tattoo machines in my toolbox. I recently broke the push bar on my machine and messaged CNC and they immediately sent me a brand new push bar in the mail!! I brag on these machines all the time to my friends in the tattoo world just because this is not a big brand do not look down on it because it’s not always about a big brand it’s about the person using the product also this machine will not make you Picasso overnight but if you know how to use the machine it will help you flawlessly.

This machine is extremely good for the price but it’s only good for one thing. This machine is a really good at shading because of its 3.5mm stroke. For lining it’s alright but I would say this machine is mainly created for soft shading for Black and Grey tattooing. If you are looking for a liner I would recommend looking for a machine with a 5mm stroke. For a machine that does a little bit of both I would recommend a machine with a 4.2mm stroke. Overall this machine is amazing quality for the price. I would definitely recommend grabbing it if you are just starting off.

This product was recommended to me by a friend in tattoo school where her teachers suggested these machines to their students in the tattoo program, and I absolutely love it. My first machine I bought off amazon I had no idea what I was looking for and its quality was subpar. The difference in quality is felt instantly upon starting up the machine, it is light weight and very sleek

I got Mast Tour Pro several months ago. The machine was great. But it suddenly stopped working in the middle of a session (not really angry at it -- i mean the machine costs less than $200, and I literally used it every day). Was about to purchase another one when I came across CNC Q2 by Hawink. Did some "research online" (by that I meant to say: YouTube, Instagram, and your best friend: google) and basically sold with all outstanding reviews it gets. Tried to do some outline work with this baby and it was great! I'm absolutely in love with it. Let's just hope it lasts longer than my Mast Tour Pro. I will update this review.

I bought one of these last week and received it in the mail only to find it didn’t work and had defective issues. Don’t buy unless you’re willing to gamble.
