Bishop Magi, does anyone have any feedback?

[Doomsower]

Looking to add something new to may cart machine lineup. Loving my Edge-X and Inkjecta. Anyone used the Magi?

I see alot of Edges and Edge Xs for sale,makes hesitant plus a few guys barely dropped theirs and they broke. The Magi is basically a $475 Thunder,which you can buy for $316. The Inkjecta is great,I have a Flite V2,out of those three choices Inkjecta if you need changeability. If not go with a Thunder and save money.

£802.60 for the gold "limited edition collectors box set". What the fuck is in the box to justify that? I'd expect it to wash the car, cut the grass and take me to the pub every Sunday for that price! I'm not knocking the machine as I haven't used one (or any Bishop machine for that matter) and I'm sure it's a quality tool, but are there really people out there who will pay this much money for a tattoo machine? Maybe there's just something wrong with me.

Yeah it's a joke to spend that much on a direct drive with Nikkos name attached to it..

It's a good machine. And yes people will buy anything at any price if it's something they desire. I have one and used it and liked it. I was happy to make the promotional video for it... if I didn't make my own machines I would probably use one of these. Its like saying good tattoos are not cheap and cheap tattoos are not good but for everything else, fuck it... buy the cheap shit. uh no....

[darkness]

yes he use a pen and not his own machine ... running similar to my axys , comparet to a thunder its have a little bit less punch i think. For the price :x ..its a direct drive and they are a lot machines like wayne taylor or Kubin thats build similar and very good machines. The sinner is from all i have try one of the best rotarys out. Its have a very coil like hit ,adjustable, robust (push cheyenne carts on 4v) and its easy to use with rubber setup. The weight is not to much and not to less. For my immo the best for carts.

Strengths of the magi are

1. Interchangeable pushrods to accommodate different ball sizes on plungers for a variety of disposable grips

2.smaller and lighter .

3. Better to keep clean vs pen style never have ink inside the machine risk

4.No give /gimmick . use organic skin give. Puts tattooist on more of auto pilot less guess work

5.changeable cams 3.5 and 4.2 mm

6. Rca connection / no special cords

[Seanaskew19]

So it just a tattoo machine that's actually worth a fraction of the cost.

[joelhague]

I believe so . its a great little machine . smaller and quieter then other machines in its class. Can make your own push rods for it is very cool as it is a standard needle bar size that fits into the cam. with all the different companies that make disposable cartridge grips now makes it super easy you could even chop off the loop on a standard needle and put a normal disposable tube on there if you so desired. Here is a pic of it next to my hawk pen for size comparison. 29964

Saying its a joke to pay this much for a machine is a joke in itself. It is $100+ cheaper then other cartridge machines your not paying for anyone's name on this sorry but that is just straight bs

Some people like nice things.

After two weeks working with it, I droped my flite and Halo 2. I really use to hate direct drive wich is not the case anymore.
It lines like a coil at 6.7 volts on eikon ems 420 and push mags from 6 to.... well I've never went above 7.3
It's a quality small and light silent machine.
My only concern is the second stroke wasn't in either mine and a friend of mine box. (black edition)

Here's a mandala done with it as a first tattoo with the Magi and a first tattoo for my quite shaky customer.

[tattoosbyjamison]

mine also was missing the second stoke/cam.

Are you talking about regular needles? Don't you need a needle runner, being a DD?

[Bishopbyname]

It's cartridge specific mate ;)

[eduki]

It's cartridge specific mate ;)
I know, but somebody here talking about chopping a regular needle and use it with disposables, I just used my DDs with carts, that's why I was curious about... :)

[AltarVinz]

You can chop needle bar but I don't see the point. Cartridges are nice to work with and takes no place storage wise

[darkness]

the second cam was missed in my box too :(

[joelhague]

Love mine great little machine smallest I have ever owned . love the fact I can cut and use my own push rods

[shaneiswayrad]

Just bought one, going to use it today. the weight and lack of gimmicks is an automatic bonus. The fact it's American made and regular RCA is great. The price wasn't steep at all compared to other mass made cartridge rotaries. If it runs 80% like a Cheyenne without the shitty plug/circuit board nonsense, I'll be delighted. I'll post my opinion when i break her in.

[Gazghostrider]

Anyone get to the bottom of the missing cam? Mine didn't have one either.

Missing cam? You only get one cam ive read loads on barberdts, bishop, nikko sites and nothing says anything about a extra cam.. two plungers but not two cams even the gold one. Im sure flite v2 cams with a little sleave would fit the motor.. then you would have the choice of 4 cams to use.. ive made my own from a old cheyenne hawk body halo motor and a sleaved flite 4 mm cam, fits all in...

Got mine a little over a week ago, came with a few extra plungers, a print from Mister Cartoon, a 4oz bottle of Nocturnal
Black Ink, 2 cams (3.5, and 4.2),a RCA cord, and a dope shirt!

Machine runs and works good...a little "loud" for a rotary. I fucks with! I don't use carts with it though because 1. I don't have a click grip 2. I fucking LOVE Black Claw Needles. The fact this machine can use both is a plus for me!
