Vlad Blad Respect A2 Tattoo Machine - Power Shader / Power Colour Packer

When you need to pack colour fast or lay down smooth whip shading across larger pieces, your machine needs serious hitting power. The Vlad Blad Respect A2 is a coil tattoo machine built for professional artists who prioritise speed and ink saturation in their shading and colour work. A heavy tungsten armature bar delivers a sharp, powerful hit that drives ink in quickly, reducing the number of passes needed.

The aluminium frame keeps the overall weight low, making it a practical choice over heavier steel-framed machines during extended sessions. With magnum needle compatibility spanning a wide range, it covers both colour packing and black and grey shading without needing to switch rigs.

Each Respect A2 is hand built in Russia, so minor cosmetic variation between individual units is normal and a characteristic of artisan construction. Vlad Blad backs the machine with one of the longest warranties in the professional coil category.
