You can always find the exact information about the amount in the ink certificates.

To be sure that the ink is tolerated, you could have an allergy test done by a doctor.

Product help

First step for troubleshooting: perform a battery reset (you can find the exact instructions in the video here).

No. Cheyenne machines are a plug and play system. The enclosed design has been engineered to make any maintenance or lubrication of the engine obsolete.


Opening and/or lubricating your machine will most likely cause the machine to fail. This will also void the warranty.

Explanation or small support for the adjustment of the sniper:

Depending on the environment, you can adjust the light perfectly.

To find the perfect light, you need to adjust the settings to the conditions. If you are in a room with cold ambient colors, it is recommended to set the light to 25-40% intensity and a relatively warm temperature of 3500-4500K.

If you are in a dark room with warm colors, you can achieve better results with higher intensities of light and colder temperatures.

Basically we recommend you a neutral dark background and as little direct light as possible. So always look for a spot to photograph where you have these conditions.

Of course, it is also important what effect you want to give the photo, it should finally be just as individual to your style as the tattoo itself.

So be sure to try out what works best for you and your style and play with the settings.

You will also find a QR code at the bottom of your Sniper Box, here you will be redirected to a tutorial video.

The installation can often be a real puzzle, but don't despair: We have shown you the most important steps that have to be followed during the configuration in a quick run.

This has the simple reason that the batteries have to be switched off specifically.
This means that if you only press the power button to switch off, the battery is only in standby mode, so to speak. It will continue to discharge without being in use.

Please do not forget to switch it off correctly! (You can find the exact instructions in the video here.)
