The Vanta-Black is a machine built specifically for Blackout and Tribal work.
Why it matters for Blackout
This is a machine that lets you work at extremely high speeds—like no other.
The Vanta is a wireless pen with extra power, designed to stay stable no matter how heavy the fill.
We developed the new MOTHERFUCKER mode, multiplying motor torque x4 at low speeds. It gives you the strength you need when working on those stubborn areas where machines usually struggle.
The weight is perfectly balanced so your hand doesn’t suffer in long sessions. And it comes with a stainless steel grip that adds stability to your lines and geometric work—its weight feels like an anchor in your hand, steady and precise.
What’s included

New Faulhaber motor reaching up to 200 Hz

What’s different from other Mercury M-1 machine models
- A different motor with higher speed

- A special ROVER R-1 battery with speed reading in Hz
- A new mode you can activate to multiply motor power by x4 when working on difficult areas that need extra force
Get it if…
-
Blackout or tribal is your style. There’s nothing like having a machine built specifically for the kind of work you do every day.
-
You love your current machine but need more punch in tough spots like the neck, hip, or armpit. The Vanta-Black’s MOTHERFUCKER mode gives you that extra drive right where you need it.
-
You’re pushing your speed higher and your current machine is starting to fall short.
- You want a truly wireless pen with a strong, stable battery—and you’re tired of sealed batteries that burn out after a year. With the ROVER R-1 you get the same wired-level power, and it runs on standard rechargeable lithium cells you can replace anytime.
Don’t get it if…
- You only do small tattoos or fine-line work. This machine is overkill for that.
- You prefer very light, pen-style machines. The Vanta-Black has weight on purpose—for stability.
- You’re looking for a “magic trick.” It won’t do the work for you. It’s just a serious tool built for serious blackout and tribal.
