So you feel you have what it takes to be a tattoo artist and now you want to find the best tattoo kits to match your skills. With all the resources available to you, it can be overwhelming. There are an abundance of different whole sale and retail websites for buying the individual components, the guns, different lengths and gauges of needle, as well as the ink colors. There are sets for beginners just starting out as well as for more experienced illustrators.

There are some basic components to perfect tattoo kits. It should have the gun itself, and it should fit in your hand comfortably. It is painful having your hand lock up when you are right in the middle of filling out color on a dragon wing. You want the gun to balance well in your hand, and be an extension of your finger. You will also want more than one gun, so that they do not wear out as fast.

It needs to have a variety of different needles, and these have to be able to be changed out quickly and easily for the different depths and areas that may need to be covered. It also needs to have a reliable power supply with adjustable settings, a long cord, and a surge protector. It also needs to be small enough that it does not take up that much space, and whisper quiet.

Any perfect tattoo kits should also include enough colors of ink to do a variety of different projects, and have enough ink to actually be enough to finish one or two color designs. There should be enough outline ink to do many projects before having to order more. A tattoo kit should also come with some practice material so you can get used to handling the gun before using it on a person.

The costs for complete tattoo kits really depend on what is included with the product. Some will have more accessories than others, like tattoo design packs to really get you started, extra ink colors, more needles, and these will be slightly more expensive. There are also costs for the style and uniqueness of the case and gun decorations. You can find many basic kits that will work perfectly and within your budget. If you are looking for a scorpion design or skulls on the gun and casing, then you will be paying for the extras.

While the perfect tattoo kits should have all of these things, there are other components to consider as well. You want your kit to be of a brand name or style that is the most popular. For one reason, replacement parts for your gun, needles, and tips can always be ordered, and in the quantities you might need. You also want to be able to order the same colors that are in your kit, and any other color you might need.

You can pick up many good starter tattoo kits for around $200. This price includes a quality gun and everything a beginner needs. More advanced kits are available, with all the bells and whistles an expert will expect from a good kit at around $350 or more. Some kits have an assortment of different guns, and three or more are not uncommon.
