Permanent makeup is an evergreen service that boasts steady demand. In order to excel in this field, acquiring high-quality tattooing equipment is crucial for both salons and individual artists. Modern tattoo machines with ergonomic and user-friendly designs coupled with elevated functionality can make your work easier and help you set yourself apart from the competition. With an extensive array of tattoo machine models available on the market, choosing the right equipment can be a daunting task. In this article, we will delve deeper into key factors to consider when selecting equipment for permanent makeup.
Achieving high-quality and comfortable tattoo work relies heavily on the following characteristics and equipment options:
- Power: High power machines guarantee speedy work and reduce procedure time.
- No Vibration: Lateral stroke and vibrational movements can cause deep trauma, crusts, and scars. High-quality machines without vibrations only result in slight peeling in the affected area.
- Infectious Safety: Professional equipment should protect against biological fluids into the housing. Cartridge needles made of hypoallergenic medical steel and have laser sharpening ensure safety and reliability.
- Depth of Immersion Adjustment: Equipment settings ensure processes are controlled, preventing excessively deep or superficial pigment introduction during work.
- Different Speeds: Technically different tattoo techniques, as well as applying them to different areas of the face, require varying rates of pigment injection. Usually power supplies are not included in tattoo machine kits. You can choose the power supply and all the necessary components on our website.
- Ease of Use: The tattoo machine should be light enough and have convenient controls that allow the master not to be distracted during work. Small and light machines, like the Mast Tour Mini, weigh only 82 grams.
- Mobility: Modern machines are not bulky or heavy, with some control units the size of a tablet or smartphone. Wireless machines are incredibly convenient and don’t require any wires or power supplies.

When it comes to permanent makeup, the length of the stroke on the machine is an important consideration. There are long-stroke and short-stroke options, each with their own benefits and features.
Let’s explore the advantages of long-stroke devices:
- Long-stroke models are commonly regarded as universal tools that can be used for permanent makeup on any area of the face. They offer the advantage of achieving a pronounced pixel immediately after the procedure.
- The long stroke is particularly useful for working with long, sparse hair strokes on the eyebrows, thanks to the high impact force at the tip of the needle. As a result, more pigment residue stays on the skin, creating a light yet pronounced pattern with sparse pixels.
- However, when using long-stroke machines on the eyelids, caution is required due to the machine’s powerful nature. They are most effective in creating shadow shading in this area using sparse strokes.
- For the lips, the long stroke can create a gentle watercolor pattern. If you prefer more intense shading, it is better to choose a short-stroke model for the best results.
Short-Stroke Machines: Ideal for Thin Skin and Precise Work
- Short-stroke tattoo machines have a gentler impact force on the needle tip than their long-stroke counterparts. This makes them perfect for delicate and aging skin types, as well as dry skin conditions.
- What’s more, short-stroke machines are capable of producing intense colors and precise lines. For a striking lipstick effect, a short-stroke machine is recommended as it ensures a faster procedure with a more comfortable experience for the client.
- For eyebrow shading or eyelid tattooing, a short-stroke machine allows for graceful, precise lines, particularly when using the contour technique.
- Additionally, some experts choose short-stroke machines for hair techniques, as they are better suited for thinly drawn, long lines on dry and delicate skin types.
- Overall, short-stroke machines are an excellent choice for any artist who values precision, comfort, and outstanding outcomes.
