   Let Me Start Out By Saying I Did NOT Purchase, This Kit. However as a Shop Owner… Here is My Advice : As Follows ;

   In My Opinion I would not buy a ” TATTOO KIT ” although it does have some advantages it gives you a head start on supplies you will need. Typically Kits are over priced & do not contain equipment that will last.

   First Thing get a good book to start out with a good book – Tattooing from A-Z by Huck Spaulding. amazon.com.

   You Can Buy Every Thing that is in a Kit, Individually. Generally of higher quality that will last you a good while in your new career.
   Personally I would look at: Amazon, amozon.com : Alie Express, alieexpress.com, DH Gate, dhgate.com. They typically all offer free shipping.& Guarantee you will receive your products. I would look at quality Chinese Machines & Power Supplies, Clip Cords, Foot Switch, etc.. You can buy quality if you know what to look for & save 90% off retail.

   1.) Look for quality built machines, Constructed of either, Cast Iron, Cast Brass, Cast Copper, Cast Steel. They will hold up longer & generally have a truer frame geometry. C.N.C. Machined, machines hyper accurate, high quality. constructed of Air craft Aluminum, Aluminum, Steel, Brass, Copper. High quality CNC machines. Cast Iron tends to run a little cooler. Stay a way from Stamped Metal Chines Frames.they are Fubarbed from the get-go. When ran for extended times. $5.00 to $20 each. Note However with Chinese Rotary Machines They are generally as good as the real ones. Know what to look for, we will get to that. Coil Machines Most Chinese Coil machines will need to be rebuilt. New Coils, $25.00 Capacitor, $1.00, 47 uf is a good rating for beginners. for all coil machines. New Armature Bar, $1.00 to $6.00, New Springs,$1.00 to $5.00 a set. So Say $7.00 machine + the parts = $30 to $35 a piece is about right total. investment. Worth about $300 to $350.00 each. Wow! You can also buy knock off’s. So Quality & Looks. You Tube Channels with Information on this. Undergrounddemographix, Frame geometry for beginners talks about which Chines Machines are good. SinCityTattooz, Disc 1 & 2 #1. Tuning Your Machines. #2.Rebuilding your Chinese Machines. SUPPLIERS THAT HAVE GOOD PARTS FOR CHINESE MACHINES: Monster Steel,[…] & Infinite Irons, […] , Both have quality parts, for Rebuilding Your Chinese Coil Tattoo Machines. Click on top page for more of my reviews for information on how to rebuild coil tattoo machines & rotary machine reviews.

   2.) Power Supplies: Knock offs. * Look at Hurricane, $35.00 about 80% less than the real one. * Eikon $100.00 about a third of the real one. * Led Read out Dual Machine $20 or less only voltage read out.. Basic, no read out & only one machine hook up. $7.00. * IMO buy the Hurricane or The Monster Point – Dual Machine Led read out. Both the Hurricane & Eikon’s have not only volts, but amps, duty cycle, the ability to make the foot-switch a “Constant ” on or off. That means one click & it’s on & another one & it’s off. Very useful. Once you have tattooed for awhile you will see what’s meant here. Also a timer for time tattooing. If you charge by the hour. Then there you no arguing from client it is on the screen. These features are not necessary but are nice.

   3.) Clip Cord: $1.00 to $20.00. The $1.00 is a good quality one stick with at least a 5′ clip cord most 6′ The Dollar ones will not have the positive Terminal Marked. Typically both leads are black. Buy a Voltage Meter & Learn how to use it. FREE INFORMATION: You Tube Channels – Sin City Tattooz & UnderGroundDemaGraphix, They both have videos on this & tons more. The meter can be used for a multitude of things in tattooing. Mark the Positive Lead with Red Nail Polish. & Save about $18.00 which you use to purchase your voltmeter.

   4.) Foot Switch: $3.00 to $50.00 ” A good price is about $5.00. ” * IMO Look for the Stainless Steel Round Foot Pedal with black rubber pad in the middle. Nice heavy construction. *

   5.) Needles, Monster Point, […] they also go by Piercing Pros on Amazon.com. Quantity 50 – assorted Tattoo Needles, about $8.00 That’s CHEAP & I have gotten Specials on Amazon for 100 Needles $10.25 That is dirt Cheap. & Monster Point Makes High Quality Needles. They also sell Tattoo Supplies, piecing supplies & Jewelry. Great Company to deal with they really go that extra mile. More Expensive Needles Due to Sponsoring Artist & doing Tattoo Conventions. But Good Quality.[…] – They sell needles & supplies +supplies for making your own needle groupings, Box of 50 about $25.00 Mithra,[…], They sell needles Tattoo Supplies & Materials for making your own needle groupings. Box of 50 about $25.00 So IMO Stick with Monster Point. a Jewelers Eye Loop. Dh Gate, Alie Express, Amazon Most say. 5 X & 15 X & 22X, I Say Get 1 like Get a 10X & 30-60X or higher with built in Led Lights. about $3.00 to…

   This is an awesome kit for beginners at a great price. The two tattoo machines work flawlessly for their intended purpose, though the shading machine is a bit too heavy but that’s not a huge problem. The kit comes with everything you need to get started, though I highly recommend against using these “Sakura” inks on anyone’s skin. They work fine for practice on fake skins or oranges, but they do not hold well at all in real skin and will turn out splotchy and faded if you use them for actual tattoos. I know because I did a couple tattoos with them and they did not turn out that great. I bought a 19 color set from Radiant Inks for $79 as well as a 12 oz bottle of Intenze Zuper Black ink for $32 and they work very well and have done some pretty sweet tattoos since with these inks. Another problem with this kit is the plastic disposable tips that come with it are not actually in sterilized packages, they’re just thrown in a little ziplock bag and therefore are not sterilized and probably aren’t very safe to do tattoos with if you want to be legitimate. I recommend buying extra tips that are individually packaged and e.o. gas sterilized like the needles are. The practice skins that come with the kit are fine for practicing line work and such, but are nothing like real skin and so aren’t of much help, but they do help get the hang of using the machine. You cannot shade on them at all so don’t even try. Oranges are much better to practice on as you can actually do shading on them. Lastly, the foot pedal that comes with this is not very good, you have to click it in to turn on your machine and then click it again to turn off the machine and this is not how it should be, you want a pedal that you hold down with your foot to run the machine and lift up to stop it. You can purchase a much better foot pedal for around 5 bucks so this isn’t a big deal. These are all minor issues so don’t let this scare you away, this kit has a great value for the price so I definitely do recommend it, but you will most likely have to spend a good deal more money to get everything needed if you want to actually do a good amount of tattoos. Everything else about the kit is great. Comes with plenty of grommets and rubber bands, a decent amount of assorted needles, a good ink cap holder, a good amount of ink caps, 2 sheets of stencil transfer paper, and 2 practice skins. Also metal tips that I would not use if you don’t have an autoclave, and between 10-15 disposable tips. Overall an awesome kit, I have gotten a good amount of use out of it so far with no issues. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.
