Tattoo Kit with Case

I didn’t like the ink. The machines handle pretty well on fake skin a little noisy but that’s not a take away. They heavy but I think every artist should learn how to tattoo with a traditional tattoo machine you’ll appreciate the rotary so much more cause they can be lighter .All honesty I’m just not used to the weight or design or feel in my hand so that’s why I wasn’t too excited to take the machines for a spin on some skin, I’m used to the pen style rotary machines…It could have had better ink in a more professional bottle it looks like lotion? lol I’m a dynamic enthusiast so I let my brain twist my idea of what good tattoo ink looks like and if it ain’t dynamic I go get some!Dragonhawk makes good pen machines and traditional machines but ink I didn’t like and don’t think dragonhawk when it comes time to buying ink, element, moms, dynamic, hawink, and sometimes solong have decent and good to great ink.But whatever you do stay away from wormhole products! It’s like they never designed a machine they didn’t make even when they shouldn’t have! Lol

Manufacturer reached out to me and was very apologetic and offered to send me a new set of machines. I worked the liner machine doing lines and circles for hours and it worked flawlessly. So impart I changed my review to 5 stars their customer service is top notch and I would recommend their product to anyone.

Pros-*it comes with a nice lightweight lockable case.*comes both everything you need to start out and practice with! Including some stencil paper and fake practice skin!*It came with some black ink to get you started, but only enough to fill 2 ink caps worth (5ml/1/2ounce bottle, very tiny)*Has some pretty cool branded stickers, who doesn't love stickers?!*with some experience or research, one knows how to set it all up. Go find the dragon hawk tattoo supply on YouTube, or Google "setting up my dragon hawk coil tattoo machine" and watch the videos because the paper instructions that came with it, suck.Cons-*case barely fits everything in it when unpacked.*fake skin is very thin, and for a beginner I don't think that was a good idea bc if they don't know how to set depth yet, they'll be banging their needles on the surface below the fake skin. Lol*set up instructions are very poorly written, lots of gramtical errors and in some spots hard to understand imo! and poorly illustrated as well. There are some parts in between steps that you'd have to guess on if you aren't familiar.*the power supply, according to the directions say that the power supply clip plug in and the pedal plug ins are labeled, they are not! (Hint- silver plug plugs into the left plugin, black plugs into the right plug in!)*the rubber bands used to help stabilize the needle, are actually too tight. So after you out them on, if you notice when the pedal is pressed and your gun is not going, gently touch the rubber band toward the front of the machine, the tightness makes it get stuck and unable to move sometimes.*The machines are not labeled for liner or shader and directions also don't point this out.On this set, the gold one is the liner and the brown one is the shader. But one way to tell this for sure on any coil machines is to place both of them with the coil side facing you (not the decorative side) and paying attention to the contact point at the top (there is an adjustment screw right there) the liners contact point has a shorter metal contact piece and the shader contact piece is longer. - the contact point is the long thing piece of metal that comes off the top that the adjustment screw barely sits on on the very top of the machine.Also, directions don't point this out either and while one would hope it's common knowledge, a beginner who hasn't done research may not realize this but for each needle is a disposable tip. The packages are labeled so make sure if you're using a 1203R needle, that you're using the disposable tip that says 3R and not try to use a 3R tip for a 7R needle etc. They have specific sizes listed for a reason- pay attention!Over all I am pretty happy! But make sure to pick up a "tattoo stick" or "stencil stuff" for transferring stencils onto the fake skin. Go to Google and print off some beginners line stencil printable, trace over them on the stencil paper- you want to practice lots of lines, straight, curved, wiggly thicker thinner etc. As well as shapes like triangles, circles, hearts, ovals, then start on basic lettering.The smaller the needle (3R compared to 7R for example) the smaller the line. The bigger or smaller needle size will determine line thickness and it important to learn for various tattoos.

Great deal for 2 coil machines. This one was a good purchase

Bought this for my tattoo artist and he loves it!!! The case makes it so much easier for him to tote around due to him being disabled.

Bought it to do exactly what every professional tells you not to do: buy a kit and tattoo. For starters, I threw out the gloves and razors that they came with. Just buy your own you don’t know where that stuff has been. The tips are also a flimsy plastic so I bought nice metal ones instead of these; and if you can’t find your tubes they’re in the grips. It doesn’t come with all the ink it shows. You get black, red, some weird powder blue, and dark purple. I have no idea how or what is use all for colors together for, however if you can, more power to you. Also, I wouldn’t use it on skin. AT ALL. Just use it for practice. If you go look at the reviews for the ink it bleeds out and fades within a day.The first kit I got didn’t even run, hooked everything up, made sure my armature bar was straight and all that jazz and absolutely nothing happened. Turned the knob left and right (yes the contact screw was touching the bat) and both machines just didn’t work. The second kit I was sent to replace the first one worked. Be warned these things aren’t even CLOSE to tuned and my shader kinda runs like crap. It sticks and I constantly have to flick-start it in the middle of trying to practice on fake skin.It’s decent for the money, it does the job I need it to do at a price that isn’t kill- your pockets.

Got these the other day and tried them out today. I am just starting out but was very pleased with these. Solid build heavy and feels very professional. Excellent choice if you're just starting out. Way to go Dragonhawk you hit it out of the ballpark with these I really recommend them for anyone.

The machine broke after only using it 6 times. The ink provided is very poor quality, and fades to almost nothing after a month or two. The power switch wouldn't turn the machine on all the time, and the best way to power it up was to wildly toggle until the machine turned on. The dial was inaccurate, jumping between numbers while not being touched. It broke halfway through my most recent piece, and left me with half a thigh tattoo. I know dragon hawk is a reputable brand, so save your money and buy a nicer rotary machine because you'll just waste it on this.
