If you want to start your tattoo career, you need a good kit. A kit should have needles, ink, a power supply, practice skin, and transfer paper.
Some beginner kits may have only some of these items.
Here are some things to consider when choosing a beginner tattoo kit:
Needles
You need a tattoo gun to draw and shade your designs. You also need ink to fill them with color.
The quality of your ink matters a lot. You should choose an easy-to-use and self-practice kit.
Ink
Your ink should be high-quality and suitable for different skin types. It should also last long and stay strong.
You should have different colors of ink to match your style of work. You should also choose vegan-friendly and natural ink that is easy to apply and clean.
The best inks are made of high-grade pigments that are not toxic. They also cover more area on the skin with less ink.
Gun
Your tattoo gun is your primary tool. It lets you create lines, shades, tones, and textures that make your work unique.
You should choose a tattoo gun that works well with different needles and speeds. You should also check its compatibility with your power supply.
This will prevent overheating and damage. You can start with 8 volts and adjust as needed.
You should also have practice skin to practice on. This will help you learn how to tattoo without hurting anyone. You should use clean and smooth practice skin that does not have scars or wounds.
Tubes
Tubes are the parts of your tattoo gun that hold the needles and ink. They need to be clean and sterile to avoid infection or disease.
You should sterilize your tubes before using them and wrap them in tissue until needed. You should also disinfect or sterilize them after each use. If they look swollen, they are not clean enough. You should also ensure your tubes fit well with your needles and tips. They should stick out only a little. They should also point straight forward.
