The Ball Point Shader

The Ball Point Shader is a contraption created by Pablo Aponte, a professional tattoo artist with over 12 years of experience. After 6+ years of obsessive development, Pablo has perfected his pro model Ball Point Shader!

The Ball Point Shader is a ballpoint pen that is securely attached to a tattoo machine. Once plugged into a power supply, the Ball Point Shader can be used on traditional mediums like paper, canvas, or  wood, while maintaining the aesthetic and texture of a tattoo machine. 

The Shader is the perfect starting tool for new or aspiring tattoo artists because it uses a real tattoo machine to vibrate the ballpoint pen. This helps the artist more comfortably bridge the gap from using traditional pens to using tattoo machines. Also, experienced tattoo artists will also find the Ball Point Shader a useful addition to their toolbox as it allows them to easily replicate tattoo style art on traditional mediums. The Shader provides experienced tattoo artists with a simple way to expand their collector fanbases beyond people with tattoos. 

Originally a fun and niche trick of the trade, the Shader is now widely available for tattoo artists that want to refine their skills to create masterpieces for everyone across all mediums.
