Just recently a friend and I decided to order a tattoo gun kit, which comes with all the necessary items and materials to tattoo with, so we pooled together some money and put our order in.

The kit came with 4 cast iron tattoo machines (guns). The cast iron makes them a bit harder to overheat, even though it makes them a little bit heavier then other lightweight machines you can acquire ; but weight preference is different with everyone, i do not mind or really notice the extra weight of the cast iron. We both have 2 each, i have one setup for doing lining, and the other is set to do shading.
The case the kit came in is shown above; also, sitting within the case is the amp, cord and pedal, a box of metal sterilized needles, practice skin pads, black non latex gloves, and it also came with 40 1/4 OZ bottles of ink.
The 40 bottles of ink just taken out of the package, all different colors.
Above-my first tattoo on real skin! i used a piece of pig-skin to practice on, since it is the closest type of skin to humans. this is just the out-line of it.
This picture was taken just as i finished shading it; practicing on the pig-skin was so much better than using the fake-skin that the kit came with since the pig skin reacts just like human skin would.
More tats to come soon!
