Eiptwh Tattoo Kit Tattoo Poke and Stick Tattoo Poke Pen Set Manual Tattoo Kit with Tattoo Ink and Glove Red

This was my first time using stick and poke and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It took quite a while to do the lines I did. It's pretty fun to practice though. The set is very nice, it comes with everything you need. Although you need something to wipe the ink off. I learned how to transfer an image and used the transfer paper to make lines for the fake skin. Then I used the deodorant stick to put the lines on the fake skin and it worked perfectly. There's quite a bit of ink in this set. The pen is easy to out together, I put the silicone piece on the needle and then put it in the pen. The tape worked great to make a handle to hold onto.

I was really excited to experiment with this kit as I have never used a tattoo pen before, but it was something that always interested me. I thought this kit looked perfect for someone like myself as it came with everything required for me to practice, and learn from. Upon opening the lid I thought the layout could have been slightly better as everything is hard to put back properly once things are shifted around. The biggest disappointment for me though was the lack of any instructions being included. In the description it says to refer to the product instructions for use, in order to avoid serious skin damage resulting in infection. I was not planning on using this pen on anything other than the practice skin included, however, I have no way to even safely practice at all without any instructions. I understand that others with more experience won't be impacted by the lack of instructions, but for others much like myself with absolutely no experience it really dampens the spirit to learn. The kit is still really nice with everything that it comes with, but it's just unfortunate that it's expected that everyone automatically knows how to properly use the pen, and all of the inks, needles, etc.

Pro-ish: Includes everything you need for a small stick-n-poke party...except for the crucial instructions and safety guidelines mentioned in the item listing "Please refer to the product instructions for use, in order to avoid serious skin damage resulting in infection, it is recommended that novices do not use the tattoo pen on human skin when using it for the first time." Great! The first thing I looked for was said product information..not because I can't figure out 1 + 1 = pen needle, but because this is my first time using these products and have no background in manual tattooing. Im sure I'll put it together from common knowledge and Youtube...but freakin Yikes!

I guess it seems so strange that just anyone can purchase these kinds of things online, but y'know, I got it, so who am I to say. The set comes with everything pictured - lots of black ink, 5 each of 2 different sized needles, the little handheld part, the tape, a set of gloves, some transfer paper, some fake skin, some colored inks, some ink caps, etc. There's some green product that's apparently used to transfer designs with the transfer paper, but I don't plan to use it because it comes in a deodorant package and says "antiperspirants" on the label, which makes me a bit wary. Though I should probably feel wary about the whole thing I suppose. Anyways - I used it on the fake skin a few times to practice and it's very difficult to get off of the fake skin as it just sits and stains it so you can't really see what you've actually done. I tried a few different things to wipe it down, but nothing worked as well as good ol' green soap would have. So in order to use the practice parts successfully you'll need to pick up some of that as well. I wouldn't try to use this set without it. Beyond that, definitely cool. I touched up a little finger tattoo I've had for about 5 years, as it had started to fade, and then I also hand poked a little piece just last night. It's super easy to mess up if you don't sanitize well or if you go to deep or aren't very artistic... like I said, I'm surprised it's this easy to just... purchase supplies and do this. It feels like it should be more regulated than this.

For 10 dollars can't complain
