Vlad Blad’s Avenger 2 Pro and Avenger 3 Pro look related, but they solve different problems.

Avenger 2 Pro vs Avenger 3 Pro: quick look

Both machines follow the same idea, but they take different routes. The Avenger 2 Pro keeps things classic and wired; the Avenger 3 Pro is a wireless, electronics-heavy evolution built for modern workflows.

Avenger 2 Pro: key features


The Avenger 2 Pro is a wired RCA rotary built around the MultiStroke concept. You can switch between several stroke options in seconds, turning one body into a do-it-all machine for controlled lining, smooth shading, and solid packing. It drops straight into any traditional RCA + power-supply setup, so you keep your favorite PSU and cables while getting much more range from a single tool.

Avenger 3 Pro: key features


The Avenger 3 Pro keeps the multi-machine philosophy but moves it into a compact wireless body. It is marketed as a 6-in-1 wireless tattoo machine with multiple stroke presets and a brushless motor. In the official Avenger 3 Pro review, Vlad Blad highlights the Hall-effect sensors and long-lasting battery as key upgrades that keep the hit stable even at low speeds.

Smart electronics monitor rotor speed, compensate for cartridge resistance, and manage charging. For you, that means smoother passes, more predictable needle behavior, and less fiddling with settings mid-session.

The Avenger 2 Pro and Avenger 3 Pro shape your day in very different ways — from how you set up your station to how your hand feels in the last hour of a long session.

When the Avenger 2 Pro makes more sense

Choose the Avenger 2 Pro if you like the feel and reliability of a classic wired RCA setup and don’t need electronics inside the machine. You control everything from your external power supply, while the MultiStroke system lets you jump between several stroke options in seconds.

It is efficient if:

  • You already have a favorite power supply and don’t want to change your station.

  • You work mainly in a fixed studio where cables are not a problem.

  • You prefer simple hardware that just works and is too easy to service.

For artists who do a lot of lining, whip shading, and controlled black-and-gray, the Avenger 2 Pro delivers a predictable, cable-driven hit with enough stroke flexibility to cover most daily work.

When the Avenger 3 Pro is the better choice

Go for the Avenger 3 Pro if you want your main tattoo machine to be wireless, smart, and highly tunable. Multiple stroke settings, a compact brushless motor, and on-board sensors take over much of the fine-tuning for you.

It shines when:

  • You move around the client a lot and want to forget about the cable.

  • You spend time at very low frequencies and need the machine to stay stable rather than choke when you slow down.

  • You often switch between fine lines, soft gradients, and heavy color packing within a single piece.

Quick-swap batteries, long runtime, and fast partial charging also make the Avenger 3 Pro attractive for busy studios, guest spots, and conventions where you don’t want to depend on a particular power supply.

Already using the Avenger 2 Pro — should you upgrade?

If you are comfortable with a wired station and mainly use a couple of favorite modes on your Avenger 2 Pro, upgrading to the Avenger 3 Pro is mostly about workflow comfort. You gain wireless freedom, smarter power management, and better low-speed control, but the basic idea of one machine with many strokes stays the same.

If you often fight the cable on large pieces, experiment with different stroke lengths or push your machine through long, intense sessions. Then the Avenger 3 Pro becomes a clear step up — not just a newer Avenger, but a different way to organize your entire tattoo workflow.

Two Avengers, one choice: pick your machine

Both machines share the same Vlad Blad DNA: precision engineering, consistent performance, and a focus on giving artists more range from a single tool. The real decision comes down to how you prefer to work.

If you value a familiar, cable-driven station and a lower barrier to entry, the Avenger 2 Pro will feel like a dependable workhorse that slots easily into your existing setup. If you’re ready to streamline your station, move freely around the client, and let on-board electronics fine-tune the hit for you, the Avenger 3 Pro is the logical upgrade — and, for many artists, the machine that can stay in their hand from first line to final pass.
