The interest of the beautiful half of humanity in the service of permanent makeup is growing steadily. The variety of models of tattoo machines offered on the market is also growing. Understanding all this diversity is difficult even for a specialist. High-quality equipment and its competent operation are one of the most important components of the excellent results of your work. It is about high-quality equipment that will be discussed in this article.

Most manufacturers of developing companies are constantly introducing new technologies and using the latest materials in the production of their products, making them high quality, exclusive and competitive. One of such companies in Ukraine is TK Kwantum, which specializes in the production and sale of professional equipment for tattoo and permanent makeup artists, such as power supplies, cars, RCA cords, pedals, modular needles, consumables (paints, pigments, care) and much more. The company develops and tests its own products in close collaboration with PM artists and professional tattoo artists. Thus, by combining our own production facilities with the experience and knowledge of craftsmen, a unique product is created that meets all European standards and quality, at the most competitive prices in the world.

One of the latest developments that pleases me as a permanent makeup master is the TK Kwantum Sub tattoo machine.

Sub is a modular tattoo machine for professionals with high precision, speed, power and reliability. The body and holder are made of high hardness aluminum alloy. The machine is equipped with a brushless motor Rotary T-Motor 90065 GT, which has a high efficiency, long service life, high reliability and increased service life due to the absence of sliding electrical contacts, unlike rotary motors.

With such capacities and possibilities, the weight of the product with the holder is only 160 grams in the assembled state, 80 grams without the holder, the handle (holder) with the adjustment of the needle projection from 0 to 4.6 mm comes with the machine, which ensures the most comfortable work as a master permanent make-up and tattoo artists.

Large needle reach and powerful motor make it possible to work with the needle tip at high speed. The machine works stably, efficiently and uninterruptedly both in the first hours of operation and in nine-hour sessions.

Characteristics:

• weight with holder - 160 grams;
• weight without holder - 80 grams;
• color - Black Sabbath (black sabbath);
• motor - Rotary T-Motor 90065 GT TK Kwantum;
• pusher with stabilizer - titanium alloy;
• operating voltage - from 4 to 7.2 volts;
• frame - high hardness aluminum alloy;
• handle (holder) - high hardness aluminum alloy;
• needle extension adjustment - from 0 to 4.6 mm.

Do not forget that power supplies are no less important equipment for the master than a tattoo machine. After all, choosing the right power supply will ensure optimal operation of your equipment.

One of the company's new products is the TK iPower block. Despite its small size, the unit ensures the smooth operation of both impulse and rotary machines, increasing their service life and bringing work to a whole new level. Only with a high-quality and powerful power supply, tattoo and permanent makeup equipment will work perfectly.

Thanks to computer technology and the built-in microprocessor, the iPower block has established itself as a thinking and high-tech device. Even with a voltage drop in the network, the unit will provide a stable supply of voltage. There is also built-in protection against overloads and short circuits. iPower remembers the settings of four machines even after the unit is turned off, has a built-in timer that can be easily turned on and off on the touch panel. An additional power supply function allows you to work with or without a pedal. The ultra-sensitive touch panel makes it easy to switch between modes and use all the functions of the equipment without any inconvenience. The body is made of a machined aluminum monolith with a rubberized bottom. The output voltage range is 0–18 V, the current strength of 3A indicates its high power. The voltage regulator switches the device from 0 to 18 V in 1 volt steps for one touch.

Being the owner of the equipment described above, I can characterize it as a premium quality product at an affordable price. When it was created, all the wishes of the masters were taken into account so that the final product would satisfy each master and make it possible to fully concentrate on work. I want to add that the products are constantly being improved, and this makes the process of applying a tattoo and permanent makeup quick, high-quality and comfortable for both the master and the client. I am glad that, based on the experience of different masters, manufacturers of tattoo equipment improve and develop it both in Ukraine and in Europe.
