Advice from Pro Permanent Makeup Artists
While some artists use one machine, primarily 80% of the time, they still occasionally will need another machine for very specific actions, such as tougher skin, or very minute, detailed work.
Victoria Wynn, in New Zealand, can’t fathom owning just one machine.
"Personally, I don’t think anyone should have just one machine. If your machine breaks, what are you going to do? I mean, I’m in New Zealand at minimum if there is one for you to buy in the country at the time, four days. Four days to get a new machine. What are you doing with your clients if your one machine breaks? You have to cancel them. Have multiple machines," advises Victoria.
Although she’s been using the wireless Flux S as her go-to machine, she swears by having multiple machines just in case and also for the flexibility that machines like the Xion offers.
"Your client is coming to you and laying down and giving you $600. Shouldn't you be giving them the best machine for their skin?"
Lulu Siciliano, co-creator of Microbeau International, states that "buying a machine is like buying a dress," whenever possible, you should try it out first.
During lockdown this may not be so easy, although you can always try machines at academies that are still holding in-person classes or watch some very thorough videos!
Checklist of What You Should Consider Before Buying a Permanent Makeup Machine
Maybe we’re a little biased, but it only makes sense that a company that is created and headed by a permanent makeup professional will have the true passion and drive to create products that help artists excel.
p
Artists and clients first: Are the designers from the company you are buying from specifically from the field of tattooing or are they just an electronics manufacturer?
p
"Made In" Is the country of origin known for attention to detail and producing quality products?
p
Customer service: Do you have a recourse if you need to reach out to anyone?
p
Community
: Do you have a group of professionals that know the machine and you can turn to for advice?
p
Other artists’ reviews: What is your colleagues’ experience with the machines and the company?
p
Compatability with standard needle cartridges:
Some machines only accept proprietary needles that are sold by the same company that sells you the machine. This is limiting and could cause a financial burden.
p
Medical-grade components: Let’s not take lightly the fact that permanent makeup machines puncture people’s skin with needles. For your clients’ safety, you should insist on medical-grade components that are made in a highly sanitized manufacturing plant. Your clients’ health is a top priority, however, if the machine’s components are top quality, that translates into a long-lasting, reliable machine as a benefit to you.
p
Services you offer
: What services do you offer the most? Find a machine whose technical specifications enhance your services.
p
Your force of hand and speed at which you work: This is 100% personal and we suggest listening in to other artists . While artists' opinions who work differently from you are also very valuable, of course, it's great to find someone who exerts the same pressure on the machine, runs it at a similar voltage, specializes in your same procedures and works at your same speed.
"Talking you through" to Arrive at Your Possibly Ideal Micropigmentation Machine
1. Are you
heavy-handed
and like a machine whose weight seems to help deposit the pigment easier?
Artists who like a
with a long stroke love the wireless Flux S. Cordless, consistent with a surprisingly long battery life of up to 10 hours, it's been a revolution in the industry.
Artists who are looking for more subtle control, to be able to do Link to bodesi'

many different types of techniques have loved the flexibility of the Xion S, which features adjustable "give" and stroke length!
2. Are you
light-handed
and
prefer a thin machine?
If you are looking for a machine that is
for
hairstrokes
and
lip lining, the Bellar
is the machine of choice among artists. Cosmetic tattooing artists love that it is so lightweight, has low vibration and is slim in their hand.
With the unparalleled versatility of the
Xion S, it is also an excellent machine for someone who wants
minimal
vibration and can work with a medium-sized grip.

* Note: you can purchase separately a LightningBolt battery pack, which plugs into the RCA jack of all Microbeau machines. That means you can remove the Xion S and Bellar's cord and... go wireless!
3. Specializing in
Scalp Micropigmentation?
The Apollo was
designed in conjunction
with one of Microbeau's
SMP Elite members.
The machine is
bottom-weighted, leveraging simple gravity to facilitate the creation of
the fine dots.
However, with the advent of our powerful and centrally-weighted

machine,
SMP artists
are also loving going
wireless
and the long life of the battery that allows them to work uninterrupted during the long hours that a procedure may take.
We hope this has helped you decide which Microbeau machine(s) will help you advance your technique and grow your business!
The ultimate buyer's guide on your wet wipes machine ...
Here at Donggong Machinery, we want you to make an informed decision before purchasing with us. That is why we have supplied you with a Wet Wipes Machine buying guide to help you make that decision.
A Wet wipes Machine is an investment for your business so you want to be sure you are choosing the correct one to fulfil your needs and budget. It can be quite daunting as there are so many out there and they all have different features and functionalities.
Don’t be overwhelmed!
You probably have looked into your local market and noticed that one category of disposable hygienic commodities is starting to take up an increasingly larger space on the shelf.
That is “wet wipes.”
This industry has grown rapidly from the time when baby care wet wipes defined the entire market. Today there are wet wipes used for cosmetic purposes, for household use as well as for hygienic applications.
Generally, wipes come in various packing forms. Some are packed in 80counts with flip-top; some are counted 10 sheets and portable to fit in a lady’s purse; some come in an extreme large size like a bath towel and some are packed in single sachet.
What type of wet wipes machine?
Before you start to feel dizzy by the dazzlingly display of all types of wipes on the market, you have envisioned it as a prosperous market and a profitable business, so you are intended to set up your own wet wipes production lines.
“ Great, now I am going to make my own wipes. How excited!
Hold on, let me search to find one machine that can produce all those wipes, if that it would be a great saving, isn’t it?”
Well, I hate to sound ruthless to smash your fantasies, but here is the No.1 rule of thumb that you have to remember : There is no one-size-fits-all wet wipes machine on the market.
As per tissue folding types and converting theories, wet wipes available on the market can be categorized into the following 4 types:
(1) Single/double counts/bag;
(2) 5-30 counts/bag;
(3) 30-120 counts/bag;
(4) canister wipes.
Therefore, you will need to adopt 4 different converting machines so as to cover a full range of wipes as below.
[ “You have made a point. But I am still confused a little bit. I want to make kitchen wipes, cosmetic wipes, Cleaning wipes, wet bath towel, alcohol swab.. and which category shall all these wipes go to?”
Well, Stop struggling over all the “fancy names”, it is all about formula.
My previous article about formula in wet wipes ("Raw material for wet wipes production: (2) What is the "wet" in the wipes? )would clear your doubts. Check here.”]
Once you target at one specific type of wipes, let’s say baby wipes in 80counts or cosmetic wipes in 15 counts, the first thing you need to think about is where is your wet wipes machine going to go? Among hundreds of machine vendors who all promised “the best product and perfect solutions” under different price tags, how to locate the model that best fits your demand？
There there. No head-scratching now.
I have done the hard work for you, and Let’s run through it together:
Selecting a well-fit production line could be quite a challenge involving the balancing of several factors: output product specification, desired performance, Cost considerations, Capacity speed, machine configuration, automation levels, factory space, future upgrades all play a role in selecting the best production line for your application.
As a machine supplier, I have seen many purchasers rushed to ask for machine price the moment we got connected. It is surprising that price seems to be the only determinant in his purchasing. While Some would claim they are not able to define their budget frame until each machine cost is unveiled. Much as I couldn’t fully agree on it, I would suggest our customers to take the following key factors into evaluation and work out the desired performance they are expecting to achieve. Once they fully understand what results they are trying to get, they will be able to see which costs range they are falling into so that they could adjust their allocable budget accordingly.
[ “What is the price of this machine?”
-It ranges from “xxxx Usd to xxxx Usd.”
Why don’t we sit down first and have a discussion on your specific demands”
-Ok, I will discuss with our team and get back to you on Monday.”
And your Monday never comes.]
Joking aside, let’s go through each factor shortly:
1.Capcacity speed
“What is the speed of the machine?” this question ranks second on the list of Frequently asked questions.( Top 1 question? – Well, Mr. what’s-the-price is smiling now. )
Much as the fact that capacity speed varies from one model to another, your consideration of capacity is heavily related to 2 key elements: sales channel and sales volume.
- Sales volume: You all understand that production target is driven by marketing and sales activities and thus the capacity of production facilities is generally defined by your sales volume. Here is my kind reminder: Don’t confine your calculation to current sales volumes. Make sure you have worked out a 2-3 years’ volume forecast to prevent against any future constraint and pressures. (p.s. Never underestimate your own marketing capability.)
- Sales Channel：Sales Channel shapes your sales volume too. If you are capable and ambitious to work on multiple channels, count them all in.
2.Product specification
- Product types and sizes:
“There is no one-size-fits-all wet wipes machines.”
If you were not skipping through our previous passages, you will have this No.1 rule of thumb borne in mind till now.
However, that does not mean our machine is inflexible. On each machine there will be a specs range to allow for different (while limited) product sizes. With only a simple set on the touch screen or a slight adjustment on certain parts, product diversity is not a dream.
- Production model: You are positioning yourself as a contract manufacturer (OEM) or you will be focusing on your own brand’s manufacturing (OBM) ? Or you want to go an extra mile and handle both?
A contract manufacturer should get ready to be challenged with diversified product specification demands, so you probably would want to make sure no constraints are there when a million worth OEM order hits you in the future.
