buying tattoo goods on ebay machines/ink/needles : eBay Guides

I am writing this guide as the number of people buying tattoo equipment from ebay is increasing ,so this guide is based for people thinking about getting into tattooing and also buying tattoo machines and equipment from ebay

firstly as im sure you are aware china have big sales on ebay with there tattoo kits
most of these kits are rubbish but for a beginner they will get the job done
but i stress as soon as you have some money saved up invest in some better kit

.......................................................................................................................................................

when buying a kit from ebay dont just buy the kit with the emost stuff as these are the kits that are by far the cheapest and most unreliable kits
why do you think they are chucking more stuff in?
to make up for something the quality

if you cans tay away from the kits i strongly advise it but if you cant heres what to look for.
you only need a kit with 2 machines dont be tempted with the 4 machine kits you dont need 4 machines
you need 2  one for a liner and 1 for a shader
you need 1 power supply with foot peddle
most of the kits come with tips and tubes steel ones.
NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT
unless you have an autoclave chances are you havent
you need to get the dissposable tips , this way your chucking them away after every use not trying to clean steel that your not going to sterilise properly without an autoclave.
most kits also come with needles these needles get the job done
alot of sellers say they are selling the best needles e.t.c but probably 8 out of 10 the needles are from china

DONT BUY A KIT WITH INK
or if you do use the ink only on practise skin
these inks are not recognised by the proper authoreties e,t,c so please dont put them in someones skin
plus they are crap and will fade instantly leaving a horrible tattoo that will need covering up..

that about covers the kit part of the guide
look for the best deal you want not the best deal you can get for your money
remember all u need is
2 machines
power supply
foot switch and cables
dissposable tips
grommets
and needles
ink cups and if your tattooing skin you will need hectograph paper
also tracing paper
the last 2 things tend not to come with kits.


Dont be fooled by uk and us sellers selling kits saying they are made by pros and stuff they are all china kits apart from a few sold by a few sellers
tattooshop2 for instance sell tattoo stuff that is good quality and reasonable prices

below i will give some ebay users that are very good they have a very good customer service they send there goods very quickly
and have good quality stuff

for inks and accesories use the 2 below

blade12070 this seller sells quality inks/needles and cheap hectograph paper
tracy340_2 this seller sells good ink and tattoo supplys
brittaz27 this seller sells some descent machines made by ts(international) i use these machines myself and they are good he also sells ink and all the needed tattoo supplys needles/grommets/paper/ultrasonics/power supplys e.t.c

they are some sellers i use from time to time when i need a top up on supplys and like i said they supply a good service

the below seller is from china and sells dissposable tips very cheap i think its like 150 for £6

those tips should point you in the right direction if you are starting out its quite important you get it right the first time
or it can become costly regarding money and also your clients
you dont wanna f@@@ someone up by using very poor equipment
if you use them sellers you should have no problems
i am no way affiliated with these sellers

TATTOO FLASH

you will need tattoo flash for tattooing
if you dont know what tattoo flash is then do some more research before tattooing
flash is what you use for designs you get say like 6 designs on 1 sheet like what you see in a tattoo parlour
you cant tattoo without them unless all you are doing is custom
if all you are doing is custom get it right the first time lol
dont tattoo something that you are unsure of or if u think is to hard for you they will respect you more for not doing it than doing it and runing there skin

if you check out my items i have some tattoo stuff for sale from time to time
i always have tattoo flash for sale
supplied on dvd thousands and thousands of sheets of flash very good designs that i use daily

im not here to sell my product im here to give advise and point you in the right direction on your journy into tattooing
it is a very good business to get into
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR TO REMEMBER ALWAYS
STAY CLEAN AND KEEP CLEAN
dont ever use dirty stuff dont ever reuse a needle they are cheap enough to buy liek everything
DONT RISK IT EVER IT JUST ISNT WORTH IT
