Best tattoo machines for 2020

In the modern world, tattoos are no longer perceived as something exotic or as a symbol of belonging to a certain world, as it once was. That is why tattoo parlors do not lack clients. A good artist should have two things in stock - an artistic talent and a quality tattoo machine. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offer you an overview of the best machines for creating tattoos.

Tattoo machines - what are there?

According to some craftsmen, the best cars are those that were made with their own hands. A homemade tattoo machine is constructed of an electric motor, a guitar string, a wine cork, a pen, a rod, and a small metal plate.

However, there are many models on the market today that will be useful to those craftsmen who do not want to create the main working tool on their own.

Tattoo equipment and its types:

• rotary cars are the best option for beginners. The functionality of the device provides the ability to adjust the speed and force of the impact, depending on the technique of drawing. Also, rotary-type equipment is used for tattooing (permanent make-up) of lips, eyebrows, etc., since they allow you to fill in the picture as accurately and accurately as possible.
• pneumatic devices - appeared on the market relatively recently. The peculiarities of their functioning are the distribution of compressed air and the movement of the piston. Such devices are distinguished by their noiselessness and ease of movement, but due to the high cost they have not yet received wide distribution.
• induction appliances are a classic that is considered equipment for professionals. In accordance with their purpose, they are divided into contour (liners) and devices for painting and shading (shaders). Due to the combination of all possibilities, individual models are universal and suitable for all types of work.
• modular devices are novelties that are rapidly conquering the market. They are characterized by versatility, noiselessness and quality. In such models, there are no standard needles, instead of them there are special replaceable cartridges that can be removed and installed as simply as possible. A subspecies of modular devices are pen machines, to which many craftsmen have already switched.

Tattoo sets

A separate category should be allocated to tattoo sets that are recommended for beginners, as they are equipped with everything necessary for a tattoo artist. As a rule, the set includes:

• rotary and induction machine;
• special pen and several types of pigments;
• needles with tips (for contouring and painting);
• Power Supply;
• clip cord;
• pedal;
• insulating gaskets, elastic bands;
• coasters, gloves, cups for paints;
• o-rings, metal holder;
• assembly manual;
• medical ointment.

All models of tattoo equipment differ in power indicators, type of motor, frame material and other parameters.

How to choose?

To understand which equipment is better to buy, it is worth first determining the main selection criteria. These include:

1. Purpose of the device;
2. Specifications;
3. Manufacturer;
4. Personal preferences.

Purpose of the machine

By purpose, tattoo devices are divided into the following types:

• painting - used to work with large "areas" and large-scale drawings. Painting machines create conditions for the pigment to spread under the skin, which allows you to fill the pattern with color and form uniform color fields.
• contour - are used to "hammer" the paint as quickly as possible. This is to prevent the pigment from spreading under the skin. It is the speed of penetration and extraction of the needle that is most important for creating the outline of the future drawing. However, it is strictly forbidden to paint over with a machine for the contour - this will irrevocably ruin not only the client's skin, but also the drawing.
• universal - used both to create a path, and to fill with color and bring shadows. A universal machine (for example, rotary) is good for making multi-color designs.

Main technical characteristics

room	Characteristics	Recommendations
1	Operating principle	In rotary equipment, the driving force is transformed into rotational, and then into translational. The needles are driven by the motor. It is the motor that ensures uniform contact of the needles with the skin. Rotary devices operate directly from the network. Induction devices are more complicated - the needles are fed by means of electromagnetic coils, which in turn attract and repel a steel firing pin. The induction device needs a power supply and a pedal. Pneumatic devices function thanks to the supply of compressed air.
2	Frame	The frame is the foundation of the structure. All the main details are collected on it. It should be strong and tough, but lightweight and not wear out. The material from which the frame is made is very important. Most often used are stainless steel and aluminum, less often - bronze and polymers.
3	Assembling the device	The correctness of the frame and the turns on the coils, the quality of the contacts and springs play a big role. Everything must be securely connected into a single structure.
4	Power Supply	Good performance for a power supply that will ensure uninterrupted comfortable use is a voltage from 5 to 12 V, a power from 2 to 3.5 A.
5	Noise level	Induction machines make a noticeable noise due to the strong vibration and speed of the needles. Rotary in this regard is much more comfortable.
6	Weight	Rotary devices are lightweight, induction ones are heavier. In this regard, when working with rotary equipment, the hand of the master experiences less stress, which increases the duration of the session and minimizes the risk of making a careless movement.
7	How much is	Induction devices differ in price from induction devices - they are inexpensive. Rotary ones are more expensive - their price varies from 1,500 to 20,000 thousand. Due to their rarity, the most expensive are pneumatic devices.

Manufacturers

When deciding which company the equipment is better, you should, first of all, pay attention to proven brands. The best manufacturers of tattoo devices are such well-known brands as:

• "EGO";
• Stigma Rotary;
• Ink Machins;
• Cheyenne;
• FK Irons;
• Swiss Tattoo Machins.

The brand machine is good because the service centers of well-known manufacturers are more widespread, and it is easier to choose consumables for such equipment.

Popular models are produced by Chinese firms, and therefore they should not be ignored either. Manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom are actively developing and working to improve the quality of their equipment. Chinese cars are budgetary, but such an acquisition must be treated very responsibly, carefully study the description of the product, so as not to regret later about the thoughtlessly perfect purchase.

Personal preferences

The tattoo machine is purchased once and for a long time. It should be comfortable and easy to work with, and therefore, when buying, you should attend to "fitting".The equipment should lie comfortably in the hand, not constrain the wrist, evoke a pleasant sensation from tactile contact with the material of the device and, in general, cause only positive emotions.

Tips for choosing

In order to avoid mistakes, when choosing, it is worth considering the following points:

• when buying a rotary machine, it is important to pay attention to its engine - it must be of high quality, since the service life of the device depends on it.
• in order for a universal induction machine to function as efficiently as possible, it needs a good power supply. Also, the quality of its work depends on the internal filling - contacts, springs, coils and frame. Spare parts for a tattoo machine are not something a good artist can save on.
• it is best to choose an iron pedal for a salon machine. But the plastic one, which is lightweight and compact, is suitable for working on the road.
• Ideally, a good craftsman should have two machines for different types of techniques, for example, induction and rotary.

Where can I buy?

When thinking about purchasing tattoo equipment, you should choose not only the model and brand of the machine, but also decide on the place of purchase.

You can make a purchase not only in a regular store specializing in the sale of goods for tattoo artists, but also order online in an online store.

The first option is good because it is possible to touch the selected product, examine it from all sides, examine it for defects and compliance with all the characteristics declared by the manufacturer.

The second option allows you to save time by placing an order at any time convenient for you, and there is no need to go somewhere and look for something. All items available in the seller's warehouse are displayed on the site and provided with a detailed description. You can also study the reviews for the selected model or leave your own after receiving the order. The purchase is delivered in a convenient way for the buyer. The payment procedure is also selectable.

But it is worth remembering that you should only trust trusted stores and sellers. And not to engage in questionable deals or accept suspicious offers.
