Just bought my daughter a dragon hawk x3, cheap machine with the ball points. Only 15 and wants to be a tattoo artist, which I love. There good to start with especially if it's a teenager with the machine
BIG FYI: using these on a flat hard surface like this is NOT good for ur motor/cam...especially with a direct drive and punchy machine like the bishop wand and most pen machines. This is also true with using fake skin and needles. Put a towel underneath the fake skin at the very least to dampen the rigidity. Or, even better, wrap fake skin around aomething. A tightly rolled towel, a foam swimmy tube...it simulatea a forearm or a thigh as long as u secure it tightly. Very rarely is a body surface gonna be flat...not even the lower back is FLAT. Just a good idea to help u simulate real tattooing and to save your expensive machine. Dampen the hit below your fake skin and DEFINITELY dampen when using these ball point things.
Yes if you want to practice your drawing & shading skills however it is much different from how tattooing is especially because you will need to get used to tattooing at the right depth
Could always cut up some pens and make your own colors, mine lasted about one drawing then dry out, had to take a lighter to the tip a few seconds to get out running every now and then
I did actually get these about a week or so ago, but not for me 😂 my 7 yr old wants to learn how to tattoo and is always interested in everything I do with tattoos. I have an extra machine so she uses that one.
Did my first tattoo this past weeekend and just wanna say you were such a great help inspiring me and giving me great tips to start
Awesome, I'm glad I could help

I’ve been looking at them thanks for showing us
No problem! Hope this helped you in making a decision
How hard on your machine do you think these are hitting a hard surface consistently?
And I agree I would love to see more colors
i realy appreciate you showimg me this .its a great idea and id love to try some.
Thanks for the help. Got a set and love these! A great way to practice linework. Think it shows shakey lines more than needles. Thanks!!!
Glad it helped!
I’d like to start with this then tattooing fake skin. Is that a good learning path?
Yes if you want to practice your drawing & shading skills however it is much different from how tattooing is especially because you will need to get used to tattooing at the right depth
It's good for practicing shading designs
Agreed! Just to practice your techniques, I think this is pretty solid
What can I do if, at beginning, the tip is sharp and it break my paper, and I use thick paper

I'm going to save this video so that she can watch it later, thank you for posting!
You can make your own and use what colours you want
wow, amazing 👍😍
What machine is that
I see. I can use the ink attachment on paper.
Be careful with the machine you use. Those things put stress on the motor. Personally I be using a 80$ amazon machine
