Permanent makeup in Ukraine: how to choose equipment

How to choose a permanent makeup machine? This question is asked by every beginner in the world of permanent makeup. If you are a novice master, then we hope this article under the heading "The ABCs of a novice master" will be able to guide you on the right path.

About - Equipment for permanent make-up

It has always been common for a person to decorate his body and one of the ways was drawings on the skin. However, ordinary paint was washed off at the most inopportune moment, and many millennia ago the first tattoo equipment was invented: a method of applying indelible designs using needles attached to a wooden handle. In fact, these were wounds that were filled with ink, and the resulting scar, after healing, acquired a beautiful outline (if you were lucky).

It is not known what would have happened to us if the first tattoo machines had not been invented in 1891, which improved every year. Today, the procedure for applying permanent makeup or tattoos has become not only aesthetically perfect, but also safe, thanks to modern equipment.

What equipment to choose for a novice master

Training begins with arm training. First, a pencil acts as a needle, and the master learns to draw lines on paper and create sketches. Next comes the turn of training materials: artificial leather, mannequins, or even vegetables and fruits. Oranges and eggplants are used, on which you will work out your first tattoo, the clarity of lines, the hardness of the hand and get used to the devices.

According to their type, tattoo machines are divided into induction and rotary. The latter are more suitable for beauty parlors, while inductive equipment is used by tattoo parlors. Accordingly, training also takes place on such instruments so that the hand gets used to the specifics of the procedure.

Choosing equipment for tattooing in Ukraine

Apparatus for permanent makeup appeared on the territory of our country not so long ago. And before that, only experts and masters undertook to apply permanent makeup, who themselves (by some miracle) converted their usual tattoo machine for such delicate work. The difficulty lies in the fact that an ordinary tattoo machine has too much vibration, and only a genius in his field will be able to cope with this problem through many experiments. Now on the market of devices for permanent makeup, we see an abundance designed for any pocket.

In fact, all this diversity is divided into 3 groups :

• Tattoo machines, which are the prototypes of those in use today. But frankly, they are not even worth taking into account. Since strong vibration leads to poorly done work.
• Machines that already have a handle, but with the simplest drive for the movement of the needle. They may look very good, but the quality leaves much to be desired. If you want to save money, then this option may be suitable. But it is necessary to study which manufacturers of this price category are the most reliable.
• Professional machines for permanent make-up. They are the most expensive, but also the highest quality. Their high rating is ensured by the fact that such devices for permanent makeup use a high-precision drive for the movement of the needle.

Based on the above categories, when choosing a device for permanent makeup, you should not forget that the miser pays twice. It is better to buy a high-quality professional tattoo machine once than to interrupt the work process later due to breakdowns or poor quality of the service.

In recent years, manufacturers have pleased us with new models that have less weight and more maneuverability - these are tattoo machines in the form of handles. They are preferred by novice specialists, since all the advantages that this equipment has come with a more affordable price.

However, in some cases, one should take into account such a feature of the handles as the need to purchase components that are designed specifically for this model. Before you buy a machine, check what removable parts will be needed for it.

With each passing day, the popularity of permanent makeup is increasing, which means that there is an increasing demand for tattoo equipment. In Ukraine, an abundance of intermediary firms has been noticed, ready to fulfill any desire of the client, but remember, attempts to save money play a bad role in the beauty industry. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that this procedure is characterized by an increased risk for the skin and the use of a low-quality or uncomfortable tattoo machine can cost the master at least the loss of clients.

Price and quality: how not to buy a pig in a poke

Let's talk about how to choose equipment and avoid fakes.

The first thing you notice when you look at a product is its price. We are used to the fact that the high cost of a tattoo machine should guarantee its excellent performance. However, now a solid price is not a guarantee of a successful purchase, and the surest way to successfully invest your money is to use brands that have been leaders in the tattoo industry for quite a long time.

What tattoo machines do cosmetologists prefer?

According to its technical parameters, the equipment can be of a rotary type or with a maniple. As already mentioned, for the most part, cosmetologists prefer to apply permanent makeup using a rotary tattoo machine. Your choice of equipment type will depend on:

• what course of a needle: soft/hard;
• what is the impact force of the needle;
• ink delivery speed and more.

In addition, you should take into account the fact that after a while you will need to buy components.

Hone your professionalism, and let your machine become a faithful assistant in creating beauty!
