Maximum versatility. Total control. Pure Kubin performance. Swift tip ready.
The Full Monty is here!
The Full Monty is the whole package. It's more than a basic pen. It has the balls to go with it.
This is a completely new innovation for tattoo machines.
This machine boasts functionality and adjustability similar to that of a Sidewinder 46er, and Sidewinder 7.5. Adjustable stroke, and adjustable spring tension; each includes parameters to prevent getting lost in the adjustments.
This machine is ergonomically very "pen like" yet offers the option for both standard needle and cartridge set-ups.
The Full Monty has a new, innovative design for adjusting the needle depth with a thumbscrew, versus twisting the grip.
Dan also worked out a way to use an offset, pivoting nipple post to allow for a lower center of gravity and mitigate spitting issues, which has been a problem for new sidewinder users.
The Full Monty also uses an o-ring to retain the needle. This results in fewer setup variables, greater stability, and much longer longevity as compared to a rubber band.
This machine also features an o-ring impact muffler. The armature bar is designed to slightly engage the o-rings before the impact screw hits. This allows for dampened sound, while delivering a crisp hit as is expected from a Sidewinder.
Note: Grip Not Included (Select Grip style before adding to Cart)
There are several weight options:
Brass frame, aluminum grip: 8.5 oz
Brass frame, brass grip: 14.5 oz
Aluminum frame, brass grip: 13.25 oz
Aluminum frame, aluminum grip: 7.25 oz
While this machine has similar functions to a Sidewinder, it is still its own beast.
It has a good amount of snap and give. Not too hard; definitely not too soft.
For those who find a standard Sidewinder to be too brutal, this would be an excellent option.
For those who want the feel of a "real" machine but prefer the ergonomics of a pen.
For those who love the Sidewinder but couldn't figure out how to stop it from spitting.
The Full Monty is part of the DK Small Batch Project. This enables new innovation to tattooing where each machine is carefully assembled and looked after under Dan's supervision.
