Eikon Green Monster Tattoo Machines are based on the project machine that was featured in the first five issues of Machinegun Magazine. The frame is a straightforward welded construction, steel side plate design, with a precision machined, two-piece, quick-change tube vise.

We build four versions of this machine; a short stroke liner, a long stroke liner, a shader, and a coloring machine. All Green Monster Machines are built with 8 wrap Eikon Crown Standard coils and Tru-Spring armature bars and springs.

The Liner machines have a light-weight armature bar and a 15uF capacitor. The air gap on the Short Stroke Liner Machine is 3/64” (dime), resulting in a speed of approximately 140 CPS (cycles per second) with a tube and needle set-up in the machine. The Short Stroke Liner Machine has a 0.019” thick timing spring and a 0.018” thick main spring. The air gap on the Long Stroke Liner Machine is 1/16” (nickel) resulting in a speed of approximately 140 CPS (cycles per second) with a tube and needle set-up in the machine. The Long Stroke Liner Machine has a 0.020” thick timing spring and a 0.019” thick main spring.
