Hi, you can find a "Tattoo Needle Guide" on our Advice Hub. It explaines almost everything about tattoo needles and also features a "Tattoo needle size chart and how to match your tips & tubes" where you can find that for your configura....

Hi Ryan, thanks for your question. We've asked around on this for you. The advice we have had back is for your artist to contact their accountant (if they have one) for proving of self-employed earnings or to ask how they could proceed. Some more advice would be for you to just write a letter for your artist - as the owner of the business - to say your artist has been working self-employe....

Hello, thank you for your question. Any standard tattoo foot pedal can be used with the LACEnano power supply. It just takes a standard jack plug. As for grips, again, just like a normal tattoo machine that takes standard tattoo needles, you would use the same tubes/grips as you would with any non-cartridge tattoo machine. Some of our best-selling tattoo grips/tubes are below&nbs....

Hello, thank you for your question. From what we understand about Roaccutane and how severely it can dry out your skin, we’d advise you to check with your GP first before getting a tattoo. Even though you have not had it for 5 months as you say, still worth a quick check with a professional.

Hello, thank you for your question. We’d 100% advise to discuss tattoo placement with your chosen tattoo artist. Probably best to make sure you’re fully sober this time too! Tattoo idea sounds cute though.

Hello, thank you for your question. A tattoo raising is part and parcel of the healing process. As it’s only 2 months old, it’s still early in the complete healing process. It can take more months for it to completely settle. Just make sure you are using some good tattoo aftercare or a natural....

Not really an answer for this mate. More to do with the configuration you use, the technique as well as the ink and machine. All cartridges in my experience can do the job just as good as each other. I've recently switched to the Envy Gen 2 carts from Barber though. They're wicked tbf.

Hello, thank you for your question. Take a look at our Tattoo Needle Guide, scroll down to the ‘Tattoo needle sizes explained’ section and you’ll find info on #8 gauge (0.25mm diameter) needles which are often referred to as ‘Bugpins’. Hope this helps!

Lol bless ya kid. Electric shaver is fine on your chest. Just as long as your tat has healed and you won’t be trying to shave scabs or flakes of skin!

Hello, thank you for your question. Finger tattoos are quite tricky and when you say ‘the need to review the lines’, if you mean the need to regularly touch up the tattoo, then yes that is generally correct due to the wear and tear of hand and finger skin.We’d advise you to always go with the recommendations of your tattoo artist. You could always do some research, find another ....

Hello, thank you for your question. Keep it simple to begin with. Skin can vary so much on the fingers. For example, a builder or tradesmen’s finger skin will generally be a lot different to a student or office workers skin. So, a finger design done on one might not work for the next. Use fine liners, it’s extremely hard to pull a single line with a thick liner and keep it co....

Hello, thank you for your question. Generally, on a tattoo you’d begin with the outlining, move on to shading and colour work from darkest to lightest. However, this is the sort of question you’d need to be asking your mentor. If you do not have one, we strongly suggest you get one. Here’s an article which might help

Hello, thank you for your question. Have you spoken with your tattoo artist yet? Even if you have concerns, we’d still recommend that’s where you start as every artist would like the chance to rectify any tattoo which is not satisfactory to their client. Scarring can occur from a whole host of reasons right from the very start of the tattoo, through the aftercare stage and up to the h....
