A tattoo machine is the most central piece of tattoo
equipment. If you are serious about tattooing, then your tattoo machine purchase
is very important. Whether you are looking for a tattoo machine in order to start
practicing the art, or you are looking to supply a tattoo studio, purchasing
this piece of equipment is a very big step. Let us show you how to go about
it.
The first thing you need to know before investing in a
tattoo machine is the type of materials a good tattoo machine is made of. Tattoo machines need to be made of very high quality metal. This will keep them from breaking
when you are working with it. Tattoo machines are normally made of conductive
materials such as iron, brass, or copper. Look for tattoo machines made of these
strong types of metal to be sure you are getting one of high quality.
The next thing you need to know about buying a tattoo machine is what size and variety of machine to buy.
Tattoo machines usually serve one purpose; lining” or shading. Many stores will try to sell you a lining machine and a shading” machine together for one price. On the other hand, some machines are made to be liners and shaders in one. These versatile machines are usually a lot more expensive and much more powerful and should be used by only the most experienced tattoo artists. This is because a tattoo machine needs to be tuned to switch between lining and shading functions. A tattoo machine that serves both purposes will need to be tuned very often.
If you are new to the art of tattooing, you should
consider purchasing a tattoo machine in a kit. These kits are available most
everywhere and are great for tattoo artists who are just starting out. Many
of these kits come with a lining and a shading machine as well as a wide variety
of additional supplies.
