How to Set Up Your Tattoo Machine Power Supply (QM Makeup)
Setting up your tattoo machine power supply correctly is crucial for achieving consistent, high-quality semi-permanent makeup results. Improper setup can lead to inconsistent needle depth, pigment dispersal issues, and even client discomfort. This guide will walk you through the process.
Understanding Your Power Supply
Before you begin, familiarize yourself with your specific power supply model. Most semi-permanent makeup power supplies have similar components: a voltage adjustment dial, a foot pedal (optional but highly recommended), and power input. Understand the voltage range your machine and needles operate within. This information is usually found in your machine's manual. Incorrect voltage settings can damage your machine or cause inconsistent results.
Connecting Your Machine and Foot Pedal
1. Power Connection: Plug the power supply into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is functioning correctly.
2. Machine Connection: Connect the clip cord from your tattoo machine to the appropriate output on your power supply. Secure the connection firmly.
3. Foot Pedal Connection (if applicable): Connect the foot pedal to the designated input on your power supply. This allows for hands-free voltage control, crucial for precise and consistent application.
Setting the Voltage
1. Start Low: Begin with the lowest voltage setting on your power supply.
2. Gradual Increase: Gradually increase the voltage while observing the machine's needle movement. The goal is to find the sweet spot – the voltage that provides consistent, smooth needle penetration without being excessively forceful.
3. Test on Practice Skin: Always test your machine's performance and voltage settings on practice skin before working on a client. This allows you to adjust the power supply and technique without risk.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
* Machine Not Working: Check all connections – power supply to outlet, clip cord to machine and foot pedal to power supply (if applicable). Check the power supply's fuse.
* Inconsistent Needle Movement: Ensure the voltage is correctly adjusted. Worn-out components within the machine may also be the cause.
* Excessive Vibration: Reduce the voltage setting. Too high of a voltage can lead to excessive vibration and inconsistent pigment deposition.
By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to mastering your semi-permanent makeup power supply setup. Remember, practice and experience are key! Consistent practice and attention to detail is the best way to perfect your technique.

Specifically, for standard goods orders, the deposit ratio is 30%; for customized orders, the deposit ratio is 50% to ensure the smooth progress of the customization process and the balance of interests of both parties.
After sales support
What after-sales services do you have？
We provide warranty for microblading machines, microblading pigments, microblading needles, microblading aftercare, tattoo numbing cream, eyelash glue, and eyelash lift kits within the shelf life. Proof of purchase and batch number are required to apply for warranty.
For microblading machines, non-human damage, all tattoo machines have a one-year manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
Warranty service is only for quality problems caused by non-human factors while the product is still within the shelf life. Product deterioration and product failure caused by improper operation or storage are not covered by the warranty.
Glue
With this very sticky glue, will the lashes fall off when I use the perm lotion?
Our glue is very sticky and after drying it holds the lashes very firmly to the lash silicone perm rod. Although our glue is water-soluble and can be easily cleaned with water, since there is not much water in the perm lotion, there is not enough water in it to dissolve the glue, so there is no chance that the lashes will not stick to the silicone perm rod and fall off after using the perm lotion. The same goes for Neutralizers too.
Customized service
Are there any additional charges for customized services?
Customized services may be subject to appropriate customization fees based on your specific requirements, which can be negotiated with our sales team.

Where does numb cream work tattoo?
Tattoo numb cream mainly acts on the epidermis and dermis of the skin, blocking the transmission of nerve signals, thereby quickly relieving pain and discomfort.
