PMU Clip Cords and RCA Cables

Many artists neglect the quality of the tattoo machine cord, and that is a big mistake. If it malfunctions or stops working, it can cause issues directly during the work of a permanent makeup specialist. A high-quality clip cord for a PM machine should be durable and flexible, made from reliable materials, and have excellent insulation properties. This piece of equipment must be able to withstand both electrical and physical stress.

The cable for a tattoo machine may come with different types of connectors. A common combination is RCA/Jack, but when choosing, you should consider your specific tattoo equipment. Cords also vary in wrapping type, length, and color. The outer coating may be made of silicone, rubber, fabric, or plastic. Which cable is best for work depends on the artist’s personal preferences. When purchasing a clip cord, it is also recommended to buy barrier protection for it. It keeps the cord clean and prevents direct contact between the clip cord and the client’s skin. It is inexpensive, but having it in a permanent makeup studio demonstrates the artist’s professionalism.

It not only protects the cord from contamination but also safeguards the client from infection by eliminating contact between the clip cord and the skin. Moreover, the presence of barrier protection indicates the professionalism of the artist and does not require significant expenses.

What equipment is needed for permanent makeup?

Even the most professional artist with extensive practical experience will not be able to perform permanent makeup at a high level without quality permanent makeup equipment.

The main equipment of a tattoo specialist includes:

• permanent makeup machine;
• foot pedal;
• clip cord;
• power supply.

A permanent makeup machine should be selected according to the artist’s personal preferences. First of all, it should be high-quality equipment that is comfortable to use, with sufficient power and optimal needle speed.

Permanent makeup machines are equipped with two main systems — modular and needle-nozzle. For beginners and those new to the profession, machines with a modular system are suitable. They are simple and safe to use, and the risk of accidental needle injury is completely eliminated. Advanced artists and experienced professionals may choose machines with a needle-nozzle system. Work done with such a machine is more precise, but there is a risk of accidental needle injury if there is insufficient experience.

It is best to choose models that are lightweight and have ergonomically shaped handles. Keep in mind that the more powerful the machine, the faster and more comfortable the permanent makeup procedure will be for the client.

You should also pay attention to the noise level of the machine. Many modern models have low noise and vibration levels, which significantly makes the work easier and more efficient.

The foot pedal is an essential piece of equipment for a tattoo artist. It is responsible for controlling the machine, turning it on and off. Using a clip cord, the pedal is connected to the machine’s power supply.

Foot pedals come in different designs and shapes and are made from various materials. Many models feature a textured surface to ensure good grip with the foot and a rubber base underneath to prevent slipping on the floor.

The power supply is the heart of the tattoo machine. They differ in power, connection type, and type of electronic converter. 

By connection type, power supplies can be wired or wireless. By type of electronic converter — induction or analog.
