As a kit to get started, and I mean to practice with, this is a very good starting point. The machines and materials are better quality than anything you will find on eBay for the same price. Most people buying these kits need to keep in mind that these are for learning how to tattoo, not to go straight to town on real skin. I am learning, which is why I bought this kit. Its a great kit, but has one major fault, the power supply. It lacks the ability to actually power the machines properly. I have to crank it up rather high in order for it to run anything. So if you are buying any of these kits with the same power supply as the one shown here, invest $50 into a Hurricane power supply. That being said, I have a few suggestions for this website/ccompany. You should look into selling "refill kits". That would be a supply kit essentially, containing needles, tubes, green soap, ink caps, rubber bands, grommets, maybe some inks, and what ever else someone starting out may need. Also, look into making a 3 machine kit containing a liner, shader, and a color packer. I guarantee that you would make a lot with a few tweaks. There are companies making a lot of money with cheap machines and inks, and I can see you guys making more money with low price but quality products. You already have a good quality kit above others due to you not cheaping out and selling crappy, possibly toxic, chinese inks. Which was why I bought this kit in the first place. My only complaint is the power supply, I am afraid to use it because using a faulty power supply that you have to crank way up, can burn out the tattoo machine. These machines run really well on any other power supply. The liner runs rough on over 10 with the power supply that came with the kit, and it runs smoothly at around 5 on an Eikon and also a Hurricane. I encourage anyone else looking for a decent tattoo kit to start out with to buy from here, they should just invest in a different power supply.
