I’m just starting tattooing and would like to buy all my equipments separately rather than from a tattooing kit. Something that really concerns me is how well a tattoo machine can cut. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good brand that’s durable/powerful/not too expensive(around $150 price range). Also any recommendations/advice on the model type as well as disposable tubes and needles. I’ll mostly be doing oriental/black and grey tats.

I have a one and a half inch tattoo on my arm that I’d like to cover for interviews etc., I’d like to know of the best brands for makeup that covers tattoos I’ve looked at Tattoo Camo, “Tattoo Cosmetics”, and Covermark, but I don’t know if they work or which is best. Please help!
