How to choose the right permanent make-up machine? What you should know
What does the needle stroke mean and why is it so important?
One of the things that will greatly affect how well you work is the needle stroke. It's a technical detail that has a big impact on how your permanent makeup will look on your skin. There are three main types of stroke:
- Short stroke (less than 2.3 mm): perfect for soft and velvety effects, which is ideal for things like lips. The needle works close to the surface of the skin, so you have super control over the width and softness of the line.
- Long stroke (more than 3.5 mm): The needle penetrates the thicker layer of skin better, so you can create a more pronounced and thicker effect. But it would be too aggressive on the lips, for example.
- Medium stroke (2.4 to 3.5 mm): It's good for both brows and lips because it gives you a balance between softness and boldness.
What if you are a fan of the hair strokes technique?
If you like the hair strokes technique, which you use to make realistic eyebrow hairs, it's good to know that each artist prefers a different needle stroke. A long stroke makes more pixelated hairs, while a short one allows you to draw fine and precise lines. Veronika Petrás, Master in the LaBrows technique, prefers a medium stroke because it allows her to achieve the best result, where the hairs look realistic and natural.
The power that makes the difference
The engine is also an important factor when choosing a machine. More powerful motors are suitable for intensive applications where you need a longer stroke and more power - ideal for eyebrow tattooing. Gentler motors, on the other hand, provide greater precision, which you'll appreciate when working on more sensitive areas such as lips or eyeliner. When you're choosing a machine, make sure the motor runs smoothly and steadily so you can work comfortably and without unnecessary vibration.
Ergonomics and weight: It's not just about technique
Another key thing is the weight of the machine. If you work long hours, you don't want the machine to tire you out. It is generally recommended that a machine for a woman's hand weighs less than 130 grams. Some artists like heavier machines because they are more stable, but lighter models give you more freedom of movement and better control.
Why is choosing the right machine so important?
Choosing the right permanent makeup machine isn't just about making your job easier, it's also about helping you achieve results that your clients will appreciate. The right machine will allow you to work faster, more accurately and with less fatigue. What's more, your clients will be extremely happy with the results!
