How Does a Tattoo Machine Work?

A tattoo machine operates by rapidly moving needles up and down to deposit ink into the skin’s dermis layer. The machine consists of several key components: - Electromagnets or Rotary Motor – Powers the needle movement. - Needle Bar – Holds the tattoo needles. - Grip & Tube – Ensures stability and control. - Power Supply – Regulates voltage for consistent performance. Our wireless tattoo machines at QM Makeup provide smooth, vibration-free operation, making them ideal for semi-permanent makeup and eyelash tattooing.

Types of Tattoo Machines

Different tattoo machines serve various purposes. Here are the main types:

1. Coil Tattoo Machines

Coil machines use electromagnetic coils to drive the needles. They are powerful and ideal for bold, traditional tattoos.

2. Rotary Tattoo Machines

Rotary machines use a motor for needle movement, offering quieter operation and smoother lines. They are perfect for microblading and permanent makeup.

3. Pen-Style Tattoo Machines

Lightweight and ergonomic, pen-style machines are great for detailed work, such as eyelash tattoos and fine-line designs. At QM Makeup, we offer professional tattoo machines for every technique, ensuring durability and precision.

Powder Pigment
What is the difference between inorganic and organic permanent makeup ink?

The main difference between organic and inorganic pigments lies in their chemical composition, properties and performance. Here are some key points to distinguish them:

Chemical composition:

Organic tattoo pigment are composed of carbon-based compounds, usually containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements (such as nitrogen, sulfur, etc.). Their molecular structure is complex and usually has organic chemical characteristics.

Inorganic tattoo pigments are mainly composed of inorganic compounds and usually do not contain carbon. Such pigments may contain metal oxides, salts, minerals, etc.

Color saturation:

Organic permanent makeup pigment usually have higher color saturation and brighter colors. Inorganic permanent makeup pigment are generally more stable in color, have strong hiding power, and have low color saturation.

Stability:

Organic cosmetic tattoo pigment have poor stability in light, heat and chemical environments and may fade. Inorganic pigments are generally more stable and resistant to high temperatures and chemical erosion.

Permeability:

Organic pigments are usually composed of organic compounds, which often have good water solubility and can dissolve in water faster. Therefore, organic pigments have stronger permeability than inorganic pigments.

In general, organic and inorganic pigments have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different application scenarios and needs. In order to take into account the brightness, saturation and stability of the ink, most tattoo supplies ink currently use a mixed formula of organic and inorganic.

Perm and dyeing kit
How do I make eyelash lift and tint at the same time?

1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads.

2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.

3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.

4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.

5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes

6. Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.

7. Remove the neutralizer, use a small brush to apply dye evenly on eyelashes, wait for the appropriate time (usually 10-15 minutes) to allow the dye to fully color.

8. Clean the eyelashes and residual glue with a detergent, and remove the silicone perm rod and eye patch.

9. Apply Collagen conditioner to nourish the eyelashes, and you're done!
