Over the years tattooing I have jumped between different branded machines searching for the perfect machine but never quite found the sweet spot Until Valknut. 1 own 3 of the different strokes and they're all genius in their own way, the 3mm is exceptional which is the newest of my machines, it effortlessly does everything i need it to whilst tattooing And not only are the machines amazing, the owner andy is an absolute gent and will go above and beyond to check everything is good and even service/fix machines when needed, he even gave away 20 machines for the last convention alongside the awards which no other brand has done before If you havent tried these machines yet, i would seriously consider it as you wont go back to anything else.

Well here goes, but what can I possibly say that hasn't been said now by 100s of incredibly talented artists around the country but I'll try my best as you truly deserve all the praise and recognition you're getting buddy. From the moment I tried these machines I knew they were special, everything id been told, all the great reviews were absolutely spot on! the hit, the consistency, battery life, comfort weight, low vibration, you name it and they excel in every department! My 3mm and 4mm are my absolute pride and joy now as I truly believe they have helped me work smoother and more efficiently than ever before and all this topped off with one of the best blokes l've ever met in the industry at the helm, constantly supporting the artists from social and product platforms Short and sweet because these machines are talking for themselves now which is awesome to see. Humbled and proud to be part of the Valknut family

Mate I started using Valknut since the guys at my studio started using them and a lot of artists I look up to were using them and they were saying they have looked back, and I understand Why. Like most artists we've tried most of the machines out there and for 11 years I've used Cheyenne and nothings swayed me apart from Valknut. Valknut are literally all rounders and literally covers every single aspect us artists need. It's a privilege to be on the pro team and I want to thank you for having me on board mate, I'm looking forward to continuing working along side your brand and you're a top top guy. Keep smashing it bud.

I've been with valknut since the very beginning. I've used every version and they only get better and better. Andy is constantly trying to improve on what is already great, trying to add more for your money and essentially provide an overall package, which i believe should just come as standard across the industry. The new mjolnir in its new case with extra slim grip is the holy grail for machines now. 2x batteries that last days and both standard and slim grip which I love dependent on the style I'm working on. The slim grip for me personally is great for those fine line details. My daily go to is my 3mm and my 4mm. I pretty much set those two up everyday. My 3mm is the smoothest shader I've ever owned. I can also use it to colour pack and line chunky lines. And my 4mm is there when I need a bit of a punch and want to get those huuuuge lines and that solid black in with no effort at all. The new ergo grip is fab! After years of having sore bits appear on my fingers from using uncomfortable grips for so long. With small hands I don't like to make the grip to thick with tape so I do find that previous grips can give me pain after a long day of pure linework. The new grip requires little padding, fits my finger grip perfectly and I finally have no pain in my hands after a long day. I will definitely now be swapping up all my old valknut models for the new ergo grip model. I love them that much!

After using another brand machine I had spent a fortune on for years i never thought I would use a different brand, and was hesitant to try another machine. But after seeing the hype about the valknuts I thought I would give them a go. I couldn't believe the difference and how much I loved using the machine. I can't see myself using any other machine now I have my two valknuts. highly recommend to any artist

Wanted to try a smaller cam machine to use for softer shades instead of my 4.0 sol nova. Plan was to have the use the 3mm valknut along side the 4.0 Cheyenne. Alamo instantly I didn't see any need for the Cheyenne as the 3mm done everything I needed from the 4.0 anyway. First thing I noticed was how consistent the motor is and how well the machine itself was made. Couldn't believe a machine at this price was built better than most expensive machines l've used. I put a 49 mag in it on the 2nd day and it smashed in black with ease! Since playing around with different volts I've now found my sweet spot with this machine and I can honestly say it's the best machine l've used! Insane for black and grey and I still use it to pack colour with my Japanese. I've not long bough the 4.0 version as I've been told this is the dream team, and he's not wrong! Even better for lining and still really good for colour! You've done a great job here mate, I've spread the word on this a lot as I genuinely feel more people need to use it. Customer Service is the icing on the cake. From day one from even enquiring about the machine you've been nothing but helpful and supportive. Looking forward to working with you more mate!

To say I love these machines would be an understatement. I have not picked up another machine in the last year since getting my first Valknut. I am totally wedded to my 3mm and it's changed tattooing for me. Black and grey soft shading is effortless, the battery life is more than impressive and my 4mm puts linework in like butter. Valknuts customer service is 5STAR I can't not thank Andy enough for the continued support to me and the studio who have all been converted.

Got my first one of theses machines back in November and ever since I wrapped it up and took it for a spin I've been hooked! It's got everything you need in a tattoo machine. It'll line with ease shade suuuper smooth and pack colour like you wouldn't believe The battery life is insane and will easily last a day and with an extra battery supplied you know your covered. Also supplied in the heavy duty carry case is an extra grip for anyone that likes a smaller grip style or if you just like to mix things up a little. % Not only do you get a great looking and great working machine with Valknut but the customer care you get is always outstanding from people that genuinely want you to love the machine as much as they do. All in all they are the only machines I use and will do for the foreseeable future.

I purchased my first valknut back in December 2022 and having constantly changed machines every 6 months or so it was refreshing to have a machine in hand that felt comfortable with a slimline grip 9/9 Andy spoke to me at length prior to the purchase and was phenomenal with the information and accommodating with my neediness of wanting a slimline grip. The machine arrived next day and I was pretty excited. Free lube, stickers and case (pre vault) is always a nice extra! It sits well in the hand and is well balanced with either the slim or the fat boy grip.. Batteries are great and live up to a full day's work with no bother at all. So how would it hold up to day to day dots.. answer. absolutely fantastic!!! No fluctuations in power as l've had with other machines. It runs from mega low volts to right up to Chipping along with no change in quality of application Would I recommend valknut..you bet your left bum cheek I would.! The machine is stunning and bullet proof (l now own various different throws) The aftercare is unrivalled.. any questions Andy is ALWAYS there and nothing is too much trouble..unlike your "big" brand names who you're just another number to. Thank you valknut for just doing everything just so right. Huge love

I've been using a valknut machine for a while now and wow, unreal. Beats anything I've ever tried. Including £1000+ machines. I use a 4mm cam and it can push 111RS like butter!!! Honestly don't think l'll ever try another machine. Nothing compares!

I've know Andy for quite a number of years, back when we traded coils. The move over to rotary from coils took some time and I think I went through them all. Nothing ever compared to coil when lining. I settled on ink machine scorpions and thought I was done. I then tried my first Valknut (4.0mm) and wow, the bond was instant ! The machine performs effortlessly!! It is a literal extension of my hand. The weight, balance and performance cannot be challenged IMO. I've since got the other available strokes and again, these machines are the best!! 3/3 To be asked, to be part of the pro-team was a huge honour. I look forward to our journey together bud!! "Viva la Valknut"

I'm not new to these machines. I've been here from the beginning and have loved every single machine I have. I have the original model in 3.5 which just became my daily go to. I then got the 4.0 on the second model and now i have the 3.0 on the newest model. Needless to say I sold all my other brand machines. They were completely surplus to requirements. These machines can do everything and even though I mostly do B&G realism I love a bit of variety and I have everything covered with these machines from power lines to portraits. Can't wait to grow my collection of Valknuts! On a side note.. you will not receive better customer service from any other brand. I've been tattooing for 19 years and been through a fair few brands in that time but Andy is a true gentleman. Most brands motto these days is "made by artists for artists". That's b****cks really. They are made for profit. But Andy is different and I'm proud to be part of the valknut team!

What can be said about how good these machines are that hasn't been said already. For a long time I was switching between machines that were produced and sold by faceless companies grabbing the cash from artists, producing over priced machines and then giving terrible, if any, after sale advice or care. From the moment I messaged Andy about his machines after hearing great things, it was all good, great advice with what machine would be best to suit my style of tattooing! I currently mainly use the 3.0 & 3.5 cam machines but do have a very punchy 4.0 cam, which is my go to for big solid line work pieces. The 3.0 on its own is a great tool and will line big groupings if asked and then will smooth grey shade all day. Great battery life, even on one bar, it ran all day at 6.5 volts, which I was amazed by. I've yet to be let down by these, and I know that even if something went wrong, Andy would be happy to help or give advice. Plus the lube smells great!
