Tattoo Kits

So you are considering buying a tattoo kit? Buying a tattoo kit is a great way to  see if you really want  to be a Tattoo artist. Because of the reality shows and the “rock star” status some Tattoo Artists get,  they think by becoming a Tattoo artist it is a easy way of making money and to become a  ”Tattoo Star” , but what they dont realize is the long hours and the life style that comes with being a tattoo artist, when you become a tattoo artist you are choosing a way of life.

The great thing about buying a Tattoo kit, if you are a beginner is that pretty much everything you need to get started SHOULD be included with your kit, that means a machine, power supply, tubes, tips, a few sets of needles, a decent variety of inks, sets of gloves and ink caps.

A quick search on Google shows that there are plenty of tattoo kits out there these days at an affordable price for the newbie who wants to get started.

You will find super low priced kits (from China) to kits from $50 , but there is an old saying “you get what you pay for” so don’t just buy the lowest priced one you find, to start with you don’t have to go out and spend $500 but at least try and aim for the best you can afford. If you are looking to start a career you want to start off on the right foot and not cutting costs on quality of your “work tools”.

Talk to other tattoo artists in the area and find out from them what Tattoo kits they purchased when they were starting off, nearly all artists have a personal favorite and a

company they prefer to use, do your research.

Check Tattoo magazines. These days pretty much every newsstand has a decent selection of Tattoo magazines, check the ads in the magazines, often they have product reviews too that are helpful in helping you make the right choice.

On of the key things to remember with Tattooing is like anything in life you get out what you put in, a weak effort will bring weak results , buying a complete tattoo kit is a great way to get started.

Buying Tattoo Kit:

When your buying a tattoo kit there are many thing to consider, ” Do you want to do tattooing as a career”?, If so you need a really reliable kit, you need at least 2 guns and good Tattoo inks “Am i going to be using this kit for long hours”? Deciding the weight of your tattoo gun, you can get light frames which are good if your working long hours, some tattooist like a heaver gun it’s a matter of choice, and also some guns can run hot after a while running, they become so hot it burn your hand and becomes uncomfortable to use. So before you buy the tattoo kit think seriously about what you really want to achieve.

When i first bought my Tattoo kit i out layed was over a $1000 , the power supply was very reliable but i found the guns not much chop, i tattooed for 12 yrs with this kit and found it always ready to go. But latter on i ventured out and started importing kits from china, before selling i test to see quality of the guns and the power supply, i found the guns to be

better quality than my original guns, but the power supply i had trouble with it burning out

Where To Buy Tattoo Guns?

If you buy a complete Tattoo kits this comes with the tattoo guns, its best to buy a tattoo kit that has at least 2 guns, and ask supplier that to have one of the tattoo guns set up as a shader and the other a liner, because that way you don’t have to worry so much about the tuning of your guns, after a while you will be able hear the difference in the sound of the guns, try not touch the settings

until you have learnt how to reset them again.

Also make sure that for a liner tattoo gun you have 10 coils and the shader is better of being a 12 coil machine, some times you will find they try and give you a 8 coil machine but i found it just does not have enough power to run for long periods of times

You can locate 1,000 plus websites and local shops that sell these kits or you can feel free and check out my list of cheap tattoo kits which has a constantly updated list of thousands of tattoo suppliers at your disposal.

Got The Tattoo Machine, Now What?

After you have received your tattoo kit you will need to start practicing tattooing. Many including myself decide to tattoo on ourselves where as others have trusting friends who lend an arm,leg or what have you. I personally would suggest starting on a piece of fake skin which many tattoo artists practice on before tattooing others. You can’t really erase your mistakes and to get them removed is not very cheap.

Practice doesn’t exactly make perfect but learning your lines and depth of the needle is very important. You will not learn this overnight BUT it is highly important to get

your skill set down BEFORE tattooing others. Your reputation as a tattoo artist can disappear pretty quickly if your work is not up to par.

I Have A Few Tats Under My Belt So What’s Next?

After you have gotten a few tattoos done you will need to work on your portfolio. You also need to focus on designing and putting together your very own flash portfolio which is very important for any tattoo artist. Many people will come to you having no clue as to what tattoo they want. I personally do not like this aspect of tattooing BUT it does happen more times than you could believe.
