Here are the links to the tools and products we are covering in class, along with a link to a free course on COVID-19 prevention that offers a Certificate in Infection Control.
I recommend the Mei-cha brand, specifically the Midas Collection. The sizes I use are 0611 Slanted or Angled and 18 U-Shape. For your reference, the handle and blade have separate lot numbers and expiration dates and are sold individually.
This site offers a wide range of tools and pigments. The only colors that I have used are below, so you may want to read the description in their website to explore more pigment tones.
Some artists prefer unassembled tools to mix and match blade sizes and shapes. The handle and blade must be disposed of into the sharps container as a whole piece (do not unassemble before disposing) All PMU tools must be sterile and have lot numbers and expiration dates. A good place to buy these handles is AlieExpress. Click on the link below.
For the Pixel Shading technique, I recommend Brow Tricks Products. Their website features useful brow mapping tools and great products like the “Reveal Me” solution, aftercare supplies, and tutorials. You can also use my code FOXHELPS at checkout for additional discounts.
Tattoo machines come in a wide price range, from $100 to $3,500, with the pen-style design being the most commonly used in PMU. Here are some machines I use, they vary in price but are all of exceptional quality. Click on any of the links directly below.
I recommend using quality cartridges. The brands I use are: Tina Davies, Vertix Nano, DragonHawk, and Kwadron.
This brand is ideal for shading and color correction techniques, thanks to its texture and pre-modified colors. Here are my top picks for various skin tones..
For shading and microblading, my favorite colors are:
I recommend Numbskin (5% Lidocaine), available on Amazon for about $25. It is a cost-effective alternative to Zensa, the leading brand.
Most additional supplies and products can be found on Amazon. Here are the items that complement the procedures:
I use Allied Beauty Experts for insurance due to their affordability and strong industry reputation.
