Overview

This kit is made for people who want to start learning how a tattoo machine works. It brings together a rotary tattoo pen, its power adapter and foot pedal, the cables to connect them, a selection of needle cartridges, inks, ink caps and a glove, plus a step-by-step manual.

The rotary pen runs quietly and smoothly, which makes it easier to concentrate on your hand control. It's suited to practising tattoo techniques and the fine work used in permanent makeup (PMU).

This starter kit is for practice only. Please don't tattoo human skin unless you're a trained, professional tattoo artist. Tattooing skin needs proper training, strict hygiene and compliant single-use supplies.

Tattoo Machine Kit for Beginners
Safety & hygiene

This kit is for practising technique. Don't tattoo yourself or anyone else unless you're a trained professional working to the hygiene standards required in the UK.

  • Practise on synthetic practice skin, not on people. Practice skin is not included.
  • In the UK, it is illegal to tattoo a minor, even with their or a parent's consent. Tattooists must also be registered with their local council.
  • Needle cartridges are single-use. Never reuse or share a needle, and dispose of used needles safely in a sharps container.
  • Wear fresh disposable gloves, and clean and disinfect your work surface and the pen before and after each session.
  • Use fresh ink caps every time and never pour unused ink back into the bottle.
  • Unplug the power adapter when you're not using it and keep all parts away from water.
  • Keep needles, inks and the machine out of reach of children.
  • Sharing needles or poor hygiene can spread blood-borne infections. If you're interested in tattooing people, look into proper training and an apprenticeship.

Assorted needles to explore different styles

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Yes. It's designed for people starting out, with everything you need to set up and practise machine handling, plus a step-by-step manual. It's for practising on synthetic practice skin, not for tattooing people, which requires professional training.
Can I tattoo myself or a friend with it?
No. This kit is for practice only. Please don't tattoo human skin unless you're a trained professional. Tattooing people safely needs proper training, strict hygiene, single-use supplies and council registration in the UK.
Can I adjust the needle depth?
Yes. The rotary pen's needle depth adjusts from 0 to 4 mm, so you can set it to suit the technique you're practising. The manual explains how to make the adjustment.
What is the stroke of the pen?
The pen has a 3.5 mm stroke. That's a versatile length for practising both lining and shading, which is why it suits beginners exploring different techniques.
Is practice skin included?
No, practice skin isn't included in the kit. You'll need synthetic practice skin to work on. Always practise on synthetic skin rather than on yourself or anyone else.
How many needles and inks come in the kit?
You get 10 assorted needle cartridges and 10 ink bottles of 5 ml each, plus 10 ink caps to hold ink while you work. Each needle cartridge is single-use, so plan to replace them as you practise.
Is it easy to set up?
Yes. You connect the power adapter, foot pedal and pen with the two cables and the DC hook line, fit a needle cartridge and you're ready to go. The step-by-step manual shows each connection.
Is the pen noisy?
The rotary pen is designed for quiet, smooth operation. That makes it more comfortable to use for longer practice sessions and easier to focus on your hand control.
Can I use it for permanent makeup practice?
The pen is versatile enough to practise PMU-style detail work as well as tattoo techniques. As with tattooing, PMU on people should only be done by trained, registered professionals following strict hygiene rules.
How do I keep things hygienic?
Wear fresh disposable gloves, clean and disinfect your work surface and the pen before and after use, use a fresh ink cap each time and never reuse needles. Dispose of used needles safely in a sharps container.
