Beginner Starter kit
Hi everyone,
I’m putting together my first “real” tattoo setup and I would like some opinions from more experienced people about the products I chose.
The total cost is around €350. This is what I ordered:
Machine:
Dragonhawk L3 wireless tattoo machine + stencil printer bundle - €159
Cartridges:
MAST Pro 2 mixed cartridges (#12 0.35 mm, 50 pcs) - €52.93
1201RL, 1203RL, 1205RL, 1207RL, 1207M, 1209M, 1211M, 1207RM, 1209RM, 1211RM
Ink:
Panthera Black Gold 30 ml EU REACH - €25.99
HAWINK 7-colour tattoo ink set (15 ml each) - €22.99 (only for fake skin)
Stencil supplies:
EZ Tattoo stencil paper (20 sheets) - €11.99
EZ Tattoo stencil transfer gel (150 ml) - €9.98
Cleaning / consumables:
concentrated green soap + foaming bottle €16.99
PROTON tattoo butter 250 ml €26.38
Disposable machine covers
grip wraps
Nitrile gloves
Cheap 3 mm synthetic tattoo skins
My questions:
Are these brands/products considered reliable and safe?
Is there anything here you would replace?
Are there any products where spending more money would make a noticeable difference?
Thanks for any advice ❤️
