Question
Hey, Hope all is well<3
I am beginning to learn tattooing and am having some issues with what tattoo machine/accessories are best for beginners.
At the moment I am really only tattooing on fake skin and myself and not looking to do it as a profession anytime soon.
I’m more looking for a kit but am not apposed to purchasing everything separately.
I have looked at so many reviews and recommendations but there is just so many options I’m unsure on which is best.
If anyone has any recommendations that would help a lot! Links would be preferred but no worries if not.
Thankyou so much and I am obviously doing extensive research when it comes to the education side.
Have a good day :3

Avoid kits. I'd recommend dragon hawk fold 3, for ink grab yourself o bottle of dynamic black, my mistake was when I started out I bought everything from amazon and the consumables were of poor quality and I could not use them so I wasted money and had to buy what I stated above if I just purchased said items I mentioned in my first sentence I would have saved my monies in the process!
Thank-you so much will have a research with this information!
Also for stencil paper I recommended spirit thermal paper and for applying your stencil I reccomed buy a stick of green card. As for practice skins I recommended buy a large or of reelskin seconds I purchased the 3kg set and it's enough to last me months
