The new Da Vinci needle cartridges are the result when two top tattoo artists with a total of 50 years of experience as tattoo artists meet and one of them is also a gifted product developer.

Franco Vescovi and Carlos Torres

The Da Vinci cartridges from Bishop Rotary are probably the only tattoo cartridges that are actually developed by tattooists, with tattooists for tattooists. And therefore we would like to introduce you to the two main players in this article.

Franco Vescovi and Carlos Torres are both for many years an integral part of the international tattoo industry and have especially influenced the Black and Grey tattoo style. Both tattooists have won countless prizes, written books, produced DVDs and held seminars. In addition to the art of tattooing, the two share another great love: Los Angeles on the west coast of America. LA is considered the birthplace of the Black and Grey and Single Needle tattoo style. Culturally, both styles are strongly influenced by the Mexican subculture and the Chicanos.

Franco Vescovi

Franco Vescovi is the founder, the heart and soul of his company Bishop Rotary. He lives and works in LA, which he loves. Franco's journey began over 30 years ago when he wanted to learn tattooing with his brother. The brothers started their first attempts with a self-built tattoo machine. They received the instructions from Franco's uncle, who learned in prison how to build a tattoo machine with the use of a cassette recorder motor. This awakened Franco's passion for tattooing as well as his passion for product development. Over many years, his own experiences from the practice as a tattoo artist and a lot of experience of friendly tattooists of the West Coast flowed into his product developments. Good friends report that Franco has since then really bitten into the development work and has acquired an incredible amount of engineering knowledge. The art of tattooing and product development are equally part of Franco's life until today.

In 2008 he founded his company "Bishop Rotary" and launched his first serial produced Rotary Tattoo Machine "V1". Since then, many Rotary Tattoo Machines and other accessories have been developed, which became very successful internationally. The latest tattoo machines from Bishop are of course available from us. These include the Bishop Rotary Capo, the Bishop Rotary Mr. Cartoon, the Bishop Rotary Fantom, the Bishop Rotary Micro Angelo V2 and of course the Bishop Rotary Tattoopen Wand as liner, shader and colour packer.

Franco and Carlos are very good friends for many years. Carlos advises Franco in the development of his products and is significantly involved in the product development of the Da Vinci tattoo cartridges.

The new Da Vinci Tattoo needle cartridges from Bishop Rotary 

Franco and Carlos spent more than 2 years developing the new Da Vinci cartridges. And afterwards the cartridges were extensively tested by artists from all over the world. 

The Da Vinci Tattoo Cartridges from Bishop Rotary are of the highest premium quality and enjoy great popularity worldwide. Especially appreciated are the optimal ink flow, the perfect grip of the needle cartridge and the first-class workmanship. Each tattoo cartridge goes through a strict 8-step quality control process to ensure the outstanding quality of the cartridges. 

The housing of the needle modules is ribbed on the sides. So you have the cartridges particularly well in the grip and always have optimal control over the needle when tattooing. To ensure that the different needle configurations are perfectly guided in the housing, the respective needle types such as Liner and Magnum have different housings.

The tip of the liner cartridge also has a small hole at the very front. This hole allows a constant ink pressure in the tip of the tattoo cartridge. Thus, the spraying of the tattoo ink was significantly reduced and the tattooing of long even lines is optimally guaranteed.

The needles of the Da Vinci needle modules are mounted on a smooth carrier. Thus, the skin of your customers is significantly less injured and your tattooed artwork heals better. 

To ensure that you always tattoo at the highest level and under perfect hygienic conditions, Bishop Rotary makes no compromises in the production of the Da Vinci cartridges. The tattoo needle cartridges have a special protective membrane. This membrane prevents liquids, such as ink and blood, from entering the grip or the tattoo machine. The needles are made of specially hardened surgical 304 stainless steel and the housing of the modules is made of medical grade plastic. Each tattoo needle cartridge is of course sterilized with EO gas and individually packaged in blisters. A very precise quality control system also guarantees a consistently excellent bishop quality.

Of course the Da Vinci tattoo needle cartridges are compatible with all common cartridge grips and tattoo machines.

The range of Da Vinci needle cartridges includes a very large selection of Round Shader, Round Liner, Soft Edge Magnums and Magnums in different needle sizes and needle strengths. Thus the Da Vinci needle cartridges are suitable for all tattoo techniques and tattoo styles. Whether you are looking for needle cartridges for lining, shading, color packing, dot work or filling - the extensive Da Vinci range offers the right cartridge for everyone.

As you can see: The Da Vinci cartridges combine concentrated tattoo experience, technical innovation and lots of passion. Why not try them out right now!
