# How to Use a Permanent Makeup Machine
Permanent makeup machines are essential tools for professionals in the semi-permanent makeup industry. Proper usage ensures precision, safety, and long-lasting results. Below is a concise guide to mastering your machine.
Machine Setup & Preparation
- Sterilize Equipment: Always disinfect the machine, needles, and workspace before use.
- Check Needle Depth: Adjust needle depth based on skin type (e.g., thicker skin requires deeper penetration).
- Load Pigment: Fill the cartridge with high-quality, hypoallergenic pigment.
- Test on Practice Skin: Ensure proper needle movement and pigment flow before working on a client.
Techniques for Flawless Application
- Hold the Machine Correctly: Use a 45-90° angle for even pigment distribution.
- Control Speed & Pressure: Move steadily—too fast causes patchiness, too slow leads to over-saturation.
- Stretch the Skin: Keep the area taut to prevent uneven pigment absorption.
- Work in Layers: Build color gradually for natural-looking results.
Aftercare & Maintenance
- Clean the Machine: Disassemble and sterilize after each session.
- Monitor Healing: Advise clients on proper aftercare (e.g., avoid sun, moisturize).
- Schedule Touch-Ups: Recommend a follow-up session 4-6 weeks later.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping patch tests for allergic reactions.
- Using incorrect needle configurations (e.g., too thick for fine brows).
- Overworking the skin, leading to scarring.
By following these steps, professionals can enhance their technique and deliver superior results. For High Quality machines and pigments, explore QM Makeup’s trusted products.

Secondary Numbing essence
Can super numb tattoo cream be used for secondary numbness during treatment?
For secondary numbness after skin breakage, we recommend using secondary numbing essence. This is because pre numb tattoo cream takes at least 25 minutes to take effect, and the waiting time will be longer, while the secondary numbing essence only takes 3-5 minutes to take effect, which will not delay the treatment time. At the same time, since the patient's tattoo is in a state of broken skin, too long waiting time will increase the risk of infection.
Micro Blade
How to use microblading needle? Is finest blade the best needles for microblading?
Choosing the thickness of a microblade depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the level of detail required and the individual's tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:
Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoos: finer lines and details can often be achieved with finer needles (e.g. 0.16mm or 0.18mm).
Filling and shading: slightly thicker needles (e.g. 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required for better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.
Individual tattooing techniques: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize manipulation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more varied results.
Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skins can also affect needle selection. Thicker skin may require a slightly thicker needle to ensure that the color and lines penetrate effectively.
Hair condition: The thickness of the client's native hair is also an important factor in choosing the thickness of the needles. Thicker hairs will require slightly thicker needles to ensure that the lines are consistent with the native hairs.
Handmade pen
What size of microblading pen should I choose?
Currently, the more popular thicknesses are 0.16mm and 0.18mm; the popular sizes are 16U, 18U, and 18P. How to choose a microblading brow tools that suits you can refer to the advice on choosing a best microblading blade to use, which depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the degree of detail required, and personal tattooing skills.

Filling and shading: Slightly thicker needles (such as 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required to achieve better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.
Personal tattooing technique: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize the operation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more diverse effects.
Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skin will also affect the choice of needles. Thicker skin may require slightly thicker needles to ensure color and lines penetrate effectively.
Hair Condition: The thickness of your client’s natural hair is also an important factor in choosing needle thickness. Thicker hair requires slightly thicker needles to ensure lines are consistent with the natural hair.
