Review on πŸ–ŒοΈ Solong Tattoo Kit TK102 - Complete Starter Set with 1 Pro Machine Gun, 14 Inks, Power Supply, Foot Pedal, Needles, Grips, and Tips by Rodney Sample

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Still worth the price (Details Pros/Cons/Observations)

I'm tempted to give 4 stars because key components work so I'm satisfied but the overall quality objectively doesn't match that so 3/5 of these (cons first for better context for the pros) Cons: - Inks have serious adhesion issues. I'm back to a tattoo I've tattooed 3 times now. I think I'm totally trying to get enough color, but it looks older than I'm so faded - The power supply has loose connectors. Sometimes I have to fiddle around with connectors quite a bit (e.g. unplug/replug, swap plugs, rotate) to get power. - Inconvenient storage. The kit doesn't come with a case and the boxes it ships in aren't the easiest to pack and unpack quickly, so it's difficult to assemble and put away - no 7r needles. I didn't get the package with the missing parts, it's just the needles that come with the kit, thinner and really more useful for detail work than outlines. ng and 7R is pretty standard and versatile. Pros: - Still, it's better to deal with non-working parts. Even if just the machine components work in a kit, it's still better to buy it and throw away everything else than to buy all the components individually, and there are plenty of useful tools and accessories in the kit that actually work, so even more bang for your buck for your money - a good car in every respect. Apart from an occasional loose contact in the power supply, the machine didn't cause any problems. The gun is stable and doesn't overheat, the grip and barrel feel comfortable, the needle moves straight and smoothly (when the rubber band is on), and the power supply has a good voltage range and is fine-tuned. doesn't cost a penny like regular ink, it gives lovers an opportunity to have a kind of rough and final tattoo sketch. When using this ink for the first time and letting it cure, the faded ink can serve as a guide to details that came out well and make it easier to adjust or hide parts that weren't satisfactory if they don't disappear completely. - Useful extras The included smaller parts, like rubber bushings or ink bottles and tray are very useful and beautiful, and there are plenty of spares for most disposables. I found a few things that someone might find helpful: - There are conflicting answers in the Q&A on whether or not to remove the plastic around the coils. It's really hard to remove. I've tried, given up and left most of it on, and it hasn't caused any problems yet, so my advice would be to save yourself the trouble (and not leave your gun sticking out with random plastic edges) and go on, but watch out on the coil temperature. Metal needle tip packages don't list their size, but they are lightly etched into the metal and, unlike plastic needles, fit more than one needle size. The only one you can use with the needles in the kit is the smallest (3-5R or 3-7R) so don't worry about the rest if you run out of needles. - For gun wire clamp, red side up. If you're not getting power, it could be because you've pressed red, or the terminal pins aren't fully inserted into their sockets - a little indicator on the power supply shows whether or not you've got power through everything, so if so, something to fiddle with Sharing to try to get power, you don't have to pedal every time - it's easier to insert the socket into the needle ring and then thread it through the gun than to hook the needle on the edge of the socket after it's screwed in is
