Bishop Rotary

4 products

Bishop rotary tattoo machines are known for one thing above all: dedicated machines engineered for a specific job rather than being adjusted to fit every job. From handmade American rotary tattoo machine models to grips and cartridge needles, Bishop gives artists a focused ecosystem built around precision, balance, and consistency. Ultimate Tattoo Supply is the place to shop the full Bishop lineup in one place, whether you are comparing machines or building out a complete setup.

The Bishop Machine Lineup

The rotary Bishop tattoo machine lineup starts with the original Wand, which comes in three dedicated versions: Shader, Packer, and Liner. Each Wand uses a custom Faulhaber motor matched to its stroke, so the machine is built around the technique rather than asking the artist to compromise around one body. The Power Wand takes that same three-stroke structure and adds wireless function through the Critical battery collaboration, giving artists a cordless option without changing the core machine feel. Compare wireless tattoo machines by reading our blog.


The Fantom is the lightest machine in the Bishop range at 1.7oz and uses a medical-grade motor designed for long sessions where hand and wrist fatigue start to matter. The V6 takes a different approach, with weight distribution engineered to flow with the tube weight so the machine feels nearly weightless without relying only on low mass. The Microangelo stands apart as the only Bishop machine with interchangeable 3.5mm and 4.2mm magnetic cams, making it the most versatile Bishop body for artists who want one machine that can shift between lining and shading. Every Bishop machine is handmade in Orange County, California, using domestic components and high-quality international motors, and each one carries a one-year manufacturer’s warranty for the original owner.

Bishop Disposable WAND Grips

Bishop disposable grips are built to match the Wand platform with medical-grade rubber exteriors, high-strength plastic interiors, and finger grooves that help reduce fatigue during longer sessions. Needle depth control runs from 0 to 5mm, with 1.5mm of depth change per 360-degree turn, giving artists a clean way to fine-tune their setup. These grips fit all Wand models, including the original and Power Wand versions, across all stroke variants, and they are compatible with most cartridge needles on the market. Available sizes include 0.75", 1", 1.25", 1.75", and 2", so artists can choose the grip feel that matches their hand size and style.

Da Vinci V2 Cartridge Needles and Replacement Parts

Bishop’s Da Vinci V2 cartridge needles are EO gas sterilized, individually packaged, and built with a smooth undercarriage to help reduce skin trauma during use. The line covers round liners, round shaders, magnums, and PMU configurations, giving Bishop users a needle option that fits the rest of their setup without guesswork. For existing owners, Bishop rotary replacement parts and needle support are part of protecting the machine investment over time. Browse the Da Vinci V2 Round Shaders to see the full direction of the line.

Complete Your Bishop Setup

Bishop machines are designed to work as part of a complete rotary system, not as isolated tools. If you are comparing Bishop against other brands or building out a full rotary station, the 

Rotary Machines collection is the natural next step. Ultimate Tattoo Supply keeps the full Bishop ecosystem available so artists can stay focused on the machine that matches their technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bishop Rotary, and where are they based?

Bishop Rotary was founded in 2009 by Franco Vescovi, a tattoo artist and machine engineer with more than 25 years of experience. The company is based in Orange County, California. The brand’s original focus was on consistency, efficiency, and low vibration for working artists. Every machine also comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty for the original owner.

What is the difference between the Bishop Wand and the Bishop Power Wand?

The original Bishop Wand is an RCA-wired machine, while the Power Wand adds wireless function through the Critical battery collaboration and magnetic connection system. Both use the same three dedicated stroke variants, Shader, Packer, and Liner, and both are paired with custom Faulhaber motors matched to the stroke. If you want a wireless version of the Bishop platform, the Power Wand is the cordless option.

Why does Bishop make three separate Wand machines instead of one adjustable machine?

Bishop’s engineering philosophy is built around pairing a custom Faulhaber motor to each stroke length for the best torque, RPM, and voltage balance. That means the Shader, Packer, and Liner are each tuned for a specific role rather than compromised into one adjustable body. The result is a machine that performs the way it was intended instead of asking the artist to tune around it.

What is the Bishop Fantom, and who is it built for?

The Fantom is the lightest machine in the Bishop lineup at 1.7oz and uses a medical-grade motor. It is built for long sessions on complex work where hand and wrist fatigue can become a factor over time. The low weight does not come at the expense of power, which makes it a strong option for endurance-focused artists.

What is the Bishop Microangelo, and how do the interchangeable cams work?

The Microangelo is Bishop’s only machine with interchangeable 3.5mm and 4.2mm magnetic cams. That gives the artist a single machine body that can shift between lining and shading setups without moving to a different Wand variant. It is the most versatile Bishop machine for artists who want flexibility in one body.

Are Bishop machines good for fine-line tattooing?

Yes, especially the Liner Wand, which is purpose-built with a 5.0mm stroke and a custom Faulhaber motor for lining work. Bishop’s near-zero vibration across the lineup also matters for the fine line because hand stability is directly tied to line quality. If fine line is your priority, the dedicated Liner Wand is the most logical fit.

What are Bishop Disposable WAND Grips and what sizes are available?

Bishop Disposable WAND Grips use a medical-grade rubber exterior and high-strength plastic interior, with finger grooves for fatigue reduction. They offer 0 to 5mm needle depth control, changing by 1.5mm per 360-degree turn. The available sizes are 0.75", 1", 1.25", 1.75", and 2". They fit all Wand models, including the original and Power Wand variants.

What are Bishop Da Vinci V2 cartridge needles?

Da Vinci V2 is Bishop’s own cartridge needle line, sterilized with EO gas and packaged individually for single use. The cartridges use a smooth undercarriage design to help reduce skin trauma and come in lining, shading, magnum, and PMU configurations. The line works with universal cartridge mounts.

Can I use non-Bishop cartridge needles with a Bishop Wand?

Yes, Bishop Wands accepts standard cartridge needles from other brands. The Disposable WAND Grips are also compatible with most cartridge needles on the market. That makes Bishop easy to integrate into an existing mixed-brand setup. For artists building a full rotary setup, explore the Rotary Machines collection.

How does the Bishop Power Wand compare to other wireless rotary machines?

The Power Wand keeps Bishop’s dedicated stroke and motor pairing philosophy while adding cordless convenience through the Critical battery system. That makes it a premium wireless option for artists who want wireless freedom without giving up the feel of a purpose-built machine. For a broader look at cordless options, the wireless tattoo machines blog is a useful comparison point.
