Hi Lee Dan,we would tend to say that it is not possible to run a tattoo business in the UK mainland in this way. Primarily because you would have to make sure to have the same toilets, hot running water, sterile rooms, etc. as a tattoo studio.The best thing to do is to talk to your local environmental health board to find out if this is possible. The EHO has to inspect the van and certif....

Hi Sarah, yes, a normal 3 Round Liner needle can be used for a face tattoo.Since tattoos on the face only have a limited space, small needle configurations should be used. However, the skin on the face is different from other parts of the body and should therefore only be tattooed with sufficient experience. You should also make sure that your client has thought through this decision w....

There's not much difference in configurations of bar needles and cartridges.We absolutely advise against tattooing without professional advic....

Hi Sherise, usually you shake the bottle of ink to get a good idea of the actual colour. Kuro Sumi Hiroshima Haze is actually rather a dull pink than a grey shade. It might be that the display of your device is not colour true. Please make sure that you use a colour true display when choosing inks. If you are not sure about the colour, you can always get in touch with our friendly sales team for f....

Hello Jem, we advise you to do a traditional tattoo education when you are about to start out as a tattoo artist. Tattooing has more aspects than just making a tattoo. Knowledge about the skin, hygiene and many more should be learned from a professional. Your master will be able to recommend a beginner’s kit for you to start with. For now, a simple machine and a power supply should be enough. We....

Hi Cori,it sounds like the motor of your machine is having a problem around the spring. To make sure that the problem is not the power supply you are using, please test the machine on another power supply. The Thunder is a powerful machine that needs the Cheyenne Start Up Cable for some power supplies to start up right at the speed you are using.Another possible solution could b....

Usually it should not be a problem to get insurance for your business even from recognised, big insurance companies. If you need all-round protection, it may also make sense to talk to an insurance broker for advice.
