RKS and Neuma Usher in a New Age of Tattoo Artistry, Comfort, and Safety

World-recognized strategy, innovation, and design consultancy RKS announced the introduction of the Neuma Hybrid Tattoo Machine, as RKS helps Neuma revolutionize the tattoo industry and usher in a new age of artistry, comfort, and safety.

The superior technology of Neuma tattoo machines benefits tattoo collectors and artists alike - with the lighter-weight, fully-autoclavable tattoo machine delivering a less painful tattoo experience and drastically reduced healing times.

When you climb into a chair, ready to have a needle pierce your skin at the rate of 80 to 150 times per second, a little pain reduction would be nice and protection from blood-borne disease is essential.

Unfortunately for many, the technology behind traditional electric coil tattoo machines has barely evolved since its invention in the late 1800's.

Still in wide use today, these machines are heavy, awkward, loud, temperamental, and, worst of all, they can't be sterilized in medical grade autoclave machines.

Dissatisfied with traditional coil machines, award-winning tattoo artist and inventor Carson Hill set out to create a completely new kind of tattoo technology - the first air-powered tattoo machine.

Carved out of solid aluminum years before the MacBook made it cool, the original pneumatic tattoo machine, known as the Neuma2, was light-weight and fully-autoclavable.

Hill knew the tattoo artists would greatly benefit from this feather-weight machine.
