Hey guys, Liam from Killer Ink here
and today I’m going to be showing you the Cheyenne HAWK Pen Unio.
The Unio is the culmination of Cheyenne’s popular range of HAWK tattoo machines
taking inspiration from its predecessors.
So let’s take a closer look…
The Cheyenne HAWK Pen Unio combines the HAWK Spirit’s fine filling and soft shading abilities
with the bold lining and powerful colour packing of the HAWK Thunder
all wrapped up in the marker pen shape of the renowned HAWK Pen.
This Cheyenne rotary tattoo machine offers continuously adjustable stroke from 2.5 to 4.0 millimetres
which is similar to the HAWK Spirit and Thunder, respectively.
There are also two additional locking positions between the 3.0 and 3.5 millimetres stroke marks
which you can easily identify by the semi-circular scaling here.
You can set the positions between the locking settings as well, if desired.
No matter what your tattooing style is, by simply turning the stroke adjustment of the HAWK Pen Unio
you’ll get the exact power you need for the piece you’re working on.
Switching between different stroke lengths has never been easier!
With a wide stitch frequency bandwidth from 60 to 140 Hertz
the Cheyenne HAWK Pen Unio is perfect for a wide range of tattooing styles.
In addition, the inclusion of Steady Mode offers constant force and stitch frequency in all tattooing situations.
This rotary machine is compatible with Cheyenne-type cartridges
and you can steplessly adjust the needle depth from 0 to 4.0 millimetres.
Also remember to make sure you readjust the needle depth every time you adjust the stroke length.
The HAWK Pen Unio has a removable grip fixture for simple cleaning
while its pen-style shape makes it easier to cover and wrap for hygiene purposes.
For those who prefer disposable grip options, this rotary is compatible with all three Cheyenne D-Grips:
Long, One-Inch, and Round.
As you can see here, the machine features a moveable jack connection that ensures maximum freedom of movement
while an innovative jack cage provides optimum protection for your plug connection.
You can also be sure that the tattoo pen won’t roll off your workstation
thanks to its anti-roll design that is most prominent here.
In terms of servicing, the previously-mentioned removable grip fixture will allow you to access
and clean the drive ram as and when its needed.
To do so, completely unscrew the grip from the drive.
Then use the supplied service wrench or an identical tool to loosen the grip mount and remove it.
You can use a cotton swab to clean the protruding drive ram and adjacent surfaces
but please ensure that no liquid penetrates into the machine.
When finished, place the cleaned grip mount back on the machine
making sure that that the nose on the guide sleeve dips into the recess on the body and that the surfaces are flush with each other.
This is the only way to set the needle depth correctly afterwards.
Then carefully tighten the grip mount again by hand-tightening the set screw
as too much force may cause permanent damage to the thread and machine.
Now you’re good to go!
As well a robust Cheyenne transport case
the HAWK Pen Unio comes with a 24-month manufacturer warranty for your peace of mind.
