Hi Jayne, we recommend training as a tattoo artist with an experienced tattoo artist. Tattooing is more than art. It is to a large extent a craft and therefore requires an experienced mentor who can teach the basics of hygiene and technique. He can also recommend a machine and all the other materials needed to make safe and beautiful tattoos. A good first machine is an older but still excellent machine from a reputable manufacturer, such as the older Cheyenne models like the HAWK Spirit or Thunder.
