Buying an Eyebrow Lip Tattoo Machine

Buying an Eyebrow Lip Tattoo Machine

If you're a tattoo artist, or are interested in permanent makeup, you'll want to consider purchasing an eyebrow lip tattoo machine. These are cosmetic machines that allow you to create powder-like brows and are less damaging to the skin than traditional microblading methods. Many artists choose to work with these machines because they have less vibration and are slim in their hand. At Ultimate Tattoo Supply, we carry several pMU machines that are ideal for lip lining, hair strokes and other delicate work. Our bestselling Microbeau Bellar, for example, is a lightweight, highly-precise and durable choice. If you're looking for a lightweight, low-vibration machine for lip lining and hair strokes, the Xion S is also an excellent option.

When shopping for a pMU machine, it's important to pay attention to the stroke, which refers to how frequently the needle penetrates the skin to deposit pigment. A shorter stroke, such as 1.8mm or 2.5mm, is perfect for a soft 'wash of color' look and works well on most skin types. A longer stroke (4.0mm and above) packs in more pigment but requires very light hand pressure because you may cause too much damage to the skin.

You should also keep in mind that your machine speed and hand speed will impact the results of your work. A slower machine speed allows you to create a more spread-out pixelation effect, while a higher speed will help you achieve a denser shading or outlining. If you're a beginner, we recommend sticking with a lower machine speed until you get more experience and learn how to control it better. You can always upgrade to a faster machine later.
