1. Injection machine (needle, transformer, all kinds of locomotive):

How to choose a good sprayer:

• The machine must be resilient:

Suitable for a variety of needles, when spraying will reduce pain; After spraying there will be no swelling

• Vibration:

The operating principle of the tattoo machine is to rotate and vibrate, the vibration must be stable and even, the speed is fast. If the vibrator is not stable, the speed is uneven, it will directly affect the color effect after spraying

• When choosing a machine, pay special attention to 3 things:

• Notes when assembling the sprayer:

• Check if each machine part really fits together?
• Check if the needle pin is firm? Avoid the situation that the needle pin is loose, leading to the situation when spraying, the needle tip is thrown out of the machine
• Check if the correct needle tip is attached?
• Check if the needle is firmly attached to the post?
• Check the power supply
• Start the engine to check if it runs smoothly?

How to maintain the tattoo sprayer:

• Avoid letting ink spill into the core of the machine. If you accidentally spilled ink: use a very thin needle to clean the core of the machine very clean
• If the tip of the machine head is stained with ink: put a few drops of oil on the tip of the needle, then point the needle to the ground, at the same time turn on the machine and use the tip of the needle to clean with cotton wool to clean it.
• After each use, the machine head must be soaked and washed, avoiding the color remaining in the needle tube to avoid overlapping ink.
• After each use of the sprayer, put a little oil in the core to prolong the life of the machine

How to choose good, standard ink – Why does 95% of Microblading have to do 2 times to complete?

Because standard Microblading is very shallow on the skin surface. For all non-metallic inks, it takes almost the second time to adhere evenly and beautifully.

You should know that the ink produced in Germany and the US is rated top quality in the world. That's why there are many ink companies from China that also say made in Germany, so you need to be careful.

A small experiment to help you know on the spot whether your ink contains metal or not:
You can put the ink on a thin, glossy piece of paper and try it with a magnet. If it is smoked, it means there is iron in it. Many tattoo artists use words that describe skin cocoon, or poor adhesion... to describe tattoo inks that are difficult to penetrate into the skin and adhere to the skin.

In tattoo spraying, there are 2 types of ink: inorganic ink and organic ink

- Inorganic ink includes 2 groups: ink made from minerals and ink made from iron oxide
Ink is made from iron oxide which is easy to stick to the skin. When tattooing, it is easy to eat ink and the ink is very durable. But the downside is that it will quickly smudge and ALWAYS leaves blue-gray or red-violet streaks on the skin that are permanent and do not go away. Ink is made from Iron Oxide which is not harmful to the customer's body but is also banned in some countries around the world. The problem is that the unknown ink manufacturers will not stop there.

To increase grip, durability and sharpness, they often add metal or even mercury, and of course will not write on the composition of the tattoo ink. And the consequences are unpredictable. Metals when on the skin, seep through the skin, then enter the body and produce toxic substances that are harmful to the liver, lungs, immune system and can cause permanent sequelae to the fetus if the mother Mother tattooed while pregnant.

There are also derivatives and colorants. If in the tattoo color composition there are azo coloring agents that are not allowed to be used, it will cause great harm to the body of the subject, and once under the influence of the laser removal machine, the tattoo will be dispersed throughout the body. and cause cancer risk… The cost of these tattoo inks is usually cheap, because of their ease of processing and low fuel costs. To know if your tattoo ink contains iron or not, try using the test above

– The second group is organic tattoo ink:
The characteristics of this tattoo ink are slightly less sticky but the color is brighter and completely harmless, does not contain toxins and does not leave color marks on the skin when flying. Squid can fly completely after 1 year.

==> SPECIAL: The American group of organic tattoo ink called Queen ink is currently very popular because of 100% nature. Completely harmless, smooth color, high strength, no red-green oxidation after flying.
This group of ink is more expensive fuel, so the price is higher.

Along with the development, human health is increasingly enhanced. Customers no longer care much about price. And also very happy if it takes about 2 years to reapply the eyebrows once to make the color fresher.
