Machines for tattooing and permanent makeup

In the field of professional tattooing you cannot do without the same professional tools. One of them is a permanent makeup machine. It allows you to apply contours with high precision and accuracy, shade pigment, make smooth transitions from one technique or tone to another, etc.

The master chooses which permanent machine to buy based on the specifics of his work. And the A4pmu online store provides enormous opportunities for your choice.

What are tattoo machines?

These are simple in appearance, but structurally very complex devices, with the help of which pigment is driven into the upper layers of the skin. Machines or pens for permanent makeup provide high precision tattooing, smooth transitions, shading, painting, drawing the finest details, etc., which makes the artist’s work more comfortable and the results as aesthetically pleasing as possible. What types of devices are there? Depending on how to classify such devices, they can be divided into the following types:

• Rotary device for permanent makeup and induction type machine. The first type of operation is due to the movements of the rotor, which activates the mechanism responsible for the ejection of the needle or cartridge. The operating principle of induction devices is based on an electromagnetic field that is formed (induced) between two coils - it is the magnetic field that causes the firing pin to move. Rotary machines are universal, and, as a rule, they are more powerful than induction ones.
• Stationary and portable. This division is quite arbitrary, since both types of machines can be transported and moved to any convenient place. But the first ones are more “bulky”, therefore they are more often used in a tattoo studio or salon, and the second ones, which are compact manipulative pens, are much lighter and can be used both at the artist’s permanent workplace and on-site.
• • Wired and wireless. Working with the former involves constantly connecting the machine via a cord to the network. This, on the one hand, ensures continuous operation throughout the working day, but on the other hand, it can create certain inconveniences due to the presence of wires. This is especially true for craftsmen working in field conditions. Any wireless tattoo machine - Mast, EZ LOLA, etc. - is a battery-powered device and only needs to be connected to the network while charging. Battery life varies depending on battery capacity, tattoo machine power, operating conditions, etc.
• Short-stroke and long-stroke tattoo machine. This difference between permanent makeup devices depends on the length of the needle extension. A lip tattoo machine and an eyebrow shading machine, different techniques for introducing pigments into the skin and other nuances require different depths of needle immersion into the skin, which is important to consider when choosing a machine.
• A device for removing permanent makeup and a machine for creating tattoos. In the second case, we are talking about devices with a rotary motor or induction coils, which ensure the introduction of pigments into the skin. And tattoo removal machines are laser equipment that destroys pigments already added to the skin.

Also, tattoo machines differ in power, features of the working part (needles or cartridges), and other criteria.

What characteristics are important to pay attention to?

There are no most or least important selection criteria - every nuance can play a decisive role during the session. This also applies to the power of the machine, which must ensure uniform immersion of the needle into the skin at a given depth, and the characteristics of the work performed and other aspects. But the following criteria will be universal for all masters:

• Convenience. The tattoo machine should feel comfortable in the hand and not cause tension in the hand or fatigue. An inconvenient handpiece is one of the factors that prevents precise and subtle movements and, accordingly, reduces the aesthetics of tattooing.

• High quality. This can only be guaranteed by well-known brands that specialize in the development and production of tattoo equipment. In addition to the obvious advantages - flawless and uninterrupted operation of the device, its durability and reliability - you get the opportunity to increase your level of professionalism, which is almost impossible with low-quality equipment.

• Compliance with the tattoo being performed. Depending on the characteristics of the techniques used by the master, he may require a more or less powerful machine; a device designed to work with needles or a modular type, with different needle projections, etc.

How to choose a tattoo machine?

A machine for tattooing eyebrows, eyelids, and lips should not only be comfortable and not restrict the artist’s movements, but also have a number of important characteristics:

• Operating parameters. Leading manufacturers - Mast, Bronc, etc. They produce tattoo machines with the ability to adjust power, speed, needle depth, etc. Before purchasing a specific model, make sure that its technical characteristics correspond to the type of tattoo in which you plan to use it.
• Sanitary and hygienic characteristics. In permanent makeup, just like in any other invasive procedure, it is important to follow the principles of microbiological safety. The machine must function in combination with barrier protection and withstand treatment with disinfectants without problems.
• Compatible with the work items you need - needles or cartridges, as well as holders.

And, of course, an important selection criterion will be the “authorship” of the tattoo machine: well-known brands put their reputation above all else, which guarantees you the high quality of both the machine itself and the tattoo done with it.
