Corded and wireless are two power formats, and the product-type field in the record states which one a machine is. Whether you choose by session length or by travelling is your decision.
| Format | What it is in the range | What the record shows |
|---|---|---|
| Corded | One PMU corded pen machine, plus kits that offer wired power combinations | Product type Corded Pen Machine; whether a power adapter is included |
| Wireless | Eight wireless PMU pen machines | Product type Wireless Pen Machine; whether battery count is stated |
| Kit | Four PMU machine kits | Machine plus power; whether the box list is stated |
Where the corded options are in the range
Corded formats appear in the range like this:
| Format | What it is in the range | What the record states |
|---|---|---|
| Corded pen, complete | One PMU corded pen machine | Product type Corded Pen Machine, six colours |
| Corded power kit | One PMU machine kit | The Kit field offers three combinations, including wired power supply+pen kit and wired power supply+1 wireless power+pen Kit
|
| Standalone power | One product that is a power unit only | Product name contains Digital Wireless; product type sits in the Machine Kit family, and the object is a power unit |
If your working pattern requires corded power, widen the search to the Machine Kit and PMU Machine families rather than cycling through the tattoo machine family.
Note the third row: its product name contains Digital Wireless, but the object is a power unit. Read the fields on the product page rather than a single word in the product name.
Wireless: confirm the battery options first
Wireless machines run on a battery, and battery count shows up in the variant fields.

If a normal session regularly exceeds what one battery covers, choose the two-battery option. Base the decision on your own session length, and ask ATTO for the runtime data for that model before ordering.
Most kits in this range are wireless
The Machine Kit family holds 12 products. Apart from one PMU kit that offers wired power combinations and one standalone power unit, most are wireless kits. Grouped by the stroke written in the title:
| Stroke stated in the title | Products | Notes |
|---|---|---|
4.0MM stroke |
6 | Complete machines and machine kits |
3.5MM stroke |
1 | A machine kit |
| Not stated in the title | 5 | Includes one PMU kit offering wired power combinations and one standalone power unit; ask ATTO for the stroke |
Separately, confirm the power format of the Atto Tattoo Machine Kit with ATTO before ordering. If your decision depends on the machine being corded, confirm the power format and box contents for that exact SKU with ATTO before ordering, and read the Product details and Before ordering sections in full rather than inferring from the product name.
What is actually in the kit
What a kit bundles is the part you did not get to choose, so check it item by item.
| # | Check | Where to look | Frequent problem |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Box contents |
Product details on the product page |
Request the complete list from ATTO before comparing prices |
| 2 | Stroke | Product name or attributes | Some kits state it (4.0MM stroke, 3.5MM stroke); for the rest, ask ATTO for the spec sheet |
| 3 | Cartridge interface |
Machine compatibility on the cartridge product |
universal-cartridge and bmx-screw are two non-interchangeable paths |
| 4 | Which needle configurations are included | Style options on the cartridge product | RL alone leaves you stuck on coverage; shading configurations alone leave you stuck on clean edges |
| 5 | Can consumables be reordered separately | The matching collection | A consumable with no standalone product forces a system change later |
Check 1 is worth doing first. The box list is the basis for judging what is in the kit. Ask ATTO for the complete list rather than filling it in yourself — needle types, ink quantity and whether a foot pedal is included are three items that affect whether you have to buy again.
For the detail behind checks 3 and 4 — reading RL, RS, RM and M1, and gauge steps — see the Needles & Cartridges collection. The tattoo cartridges in this group come in 20-piece packs.
Three things you can buy alongside the kit
If you want to buy in one order, these can go in it.
- Practice material. Practice & Training covers flat practice skins — an A4 hairstroke silicone skin in 1, 10 and 30-piece options, and a general silicone skin in about 20×15cm and 30×20cm — plus shaped models: 3D brow and lip modules, a hand model and a skull model.
- Reorderable cartridges. Needles & Cartridges splits into universal-cartridge and BMX screw branches.
- Pigment cups and a holder. Tools & Consumables includes a 7-hole stainless steel ink holder and disposable cups in several sizes, which keep the ink pick-up motion in one fixed place.
Kit composition, available options and offers change. Confirm the current options and price on the product page before ordering.
Picking the wrong format, or paying before the box list is confirmed, costs you an extra purchase.
