When you first get started, or even if you already have, tattoo supplies are a must for each artist. As you learn more about the profession and grow within it, what you use and how you use it will change with you. There are tattoo machines, inks, needles and countless other things that you will need
When purchasing supplies, you will at some point end up buying individual pieces. If you are looking to buy multiple items at once, a kit may be the way to go. Whatever you have for a price range, you may just find the right one for you.
In most of the kits that you will find is the tattoo machine, or the tattoo gun. These vary widely from beginner to the elite which usually consists of three parts; the coil wrap, the grip, and the tips. There is also the power supply and the pedal which actually allows the machine to be used. Do not forget about the rubber bands, rubber rings, and grommets that are essential to the machine.
There are several things that you still need for basic tattooing supplies that may not come in a kit. Needles, for one, may be one of those things. You can buy them individually or in large quantities. The sizes and types vary depending on your preference as an artist. Then, there is practice skin. When trying out a new machine, this can come in handy so you can get some practice in before working on real skin.
Inks come in many many colors and sizes. Before deciding on the brand that you want to stick with, also consider the actual consistency of the ink and how it is made. Many ink colors are made from metals, which some people develop a reaction to. If this is a concern that you think you may have, there are organic inks available. But, remember, there are multiple types of inks to fit just about any skin type and tone.
One of the most important items that will be used during tattooing, is the needle, or needles, itself. When considering on what to buy or to stock, it really is up to what the artist prefers. There are round needles which range from just a few needles to several that have been put together to form a cylindrical shape. Then there are also the flat kind of needles. Several needles lay in a flat row side by side, or in multiple layers.
Tattoo needles are not the only disposable item that you will use each time you tattoo. Paper towels, ink cups, antiseptic spray, petroleum jelly for during the procedure, and a cream to be used on the tattoo once it is done are needed and will definitely be used. Having these items close by will make things easier and safer during the tattoo.
Finding most tattoo supplies does not have to be very difficult, though at times the best of quality items can be more difficult. While some are disposable such as needles and ink caps, things such as your machine and power supply will become a constant companion. No matter what your level of tattooing is, all these things and perhaps more will become a constant in your shop.
