Home Tattoo Station Setup For Beginners We’ve been getting a lot of questions lately on how Brandon sets up his tattoo station so …
Another tip for beginners with fake skin (of course depending on the thickness / quality): Put a cutting board or mat or another fake skin or something similar below, in case your needle goes through the fake skin. So you don’t poke your table. Ideally get fake skin that’s 2mm or thicker. because your target depth is about 1.5mm
My setup is always the same. I put on gloves and disinfect the surface. I then use plastic barrier and tape down a dental bib on top. Then working from right to left back row: power source, lamp, rinse cup, cup w/witch hazel holding cartridges, stack of precut paper towels. Front row R to L wrapped machine, ink caps light to dark, Vaseline followed by a spare pair of gloves.
I pretty much set up the same way. I always keep my Vaseline on hand and have a dedicated tub just for my fake skins. I don’t use it for anything else. For human skin I use inkeeze. I put my paper towels above. I have a three shelfed stainless steel trolley and on top are my ink caps, inkeeze, machines, razor(real skin) paper towels, green soap bottle, water bottle and cartridges.on the second level I have my box of gloves, my ink bottles (black), wrapping tape… the third one I don’t use it yet lolll..
Hey Brandon, i am binge perusal your articles while waiting for my kit to arrive and i have to say, these articles are so great. Thanks for putting out your knowledge out there.. I have 2 questions about setting up the station. 1: Why you put 6 drops of ink on a ink cup and 3 on another cup and then water? 2: If i use the same needle on fake skin is it ok or i need to use new one every time? Thanks again
Thank you so much for your website! Im trying to start tattooing and it has been the best resource! I did have 1 question I hope you dont min me asking, I was going to purchase the Dragonhawk 7X wireless pen until I saw this regarding the disposae grip. Does it have to be a particular grip made for the machine or are the disposable grips on amazon good for it as well? Any help is appreciated ❤
