Top Tattoo Machines for Permanent Makeup
Hi there!
I'm Tess, I am a world-renowned Permanent Makeup Artist, public speaker, and educator.
After watching many product review videos, I never saw one video that compared all of the most popular, high-end, pen-style machines in the permanent makeup industry. I decided to jump on and have one filmed myself so that other artists have the chance to see and decide what will be best for their artistry when it comes to investing in a high-quality machine.
This is my honest review of some of the highest quality and most popular tattoo/pmu machines on the market.
I reviewed 10 machines/pens from Microbeau, Biotek, Cheyenne, Artyst, Axys Rotary, & Bishop Rotary, including the Flux S, Xion S, Bellar, Biotek Maestro, Cheyenne Hawk Pen, H1 pen, Valhalla, Bishop Fantom & Bishop Wand Packer.
I hope by the end of this video you will have some clarity and confidence in your choice of a machine! If you liked this video please like and subscribe.

Thank you for being the only person to make a detailed and informative video on this. Appreciate your common sense
Thank you Tess! Love this video! : )
Hi Tess, I enjoy educating myself on tools & techniques… So I thank you for your videos… I love the bishop machines and need to decide which one to buy as my first… can you pls tell me what the packer 4.2 is best used for… I mostly do microblading without machine… however, not sure if my first machine should be a 4.2… I want to start doing lips & liner too… which machine is best for brow, liner & lips? Thank you, Rochelle
Thank you so much for taking the time and making this amazing video
THANKS SOOO MUCH FOR DOING THE VIDEOS ON PERMANENT MAKEUP ESPECIALLY ON DARKER LIPS CANT WAIT TOO JOIN YOUR CLASSES YOUR THE BEST EVER....
I was looking to buy a PMU machine only to see that you are using the exact same machine I do for tattooing! 😂 The Cheyenne Hawk Pen has been a valuable tool in my collection. Great review, thank you!
Thanks!!!! Super good video, the best video so far.🙂🙂🙂
I LOVE YOUR WORK!! I followed you on instagram like two years ago and it inspired me to get into permanent makeup

How are u now?
Love love this video Thank You. So much!! Helps a lot
Really helpful reviews! Thank you so much!
Hey Tess, which stroke length are you using for the bishop wand packet and which volt/speed?
So informative and a perfect explanation of PMU machines. Very beautifully put-together pro video. I am so glad you included the phantom because I have one from years ago and I was hesitating about using it for brows. I am coming back after a 1.5-year break to do PMU again and wanted to get a new machine. I also was not crazy for my Xion S which is why I am looking for something new. Still hesitating between Valhalla and Flux Mini. I am going to subscribe and watch all of your videos. Thank you for it.
Thank youTess, great video!!
Amazing review. Thank you👌❤️
Amazing video Tessa🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
What would u recommend for a new micro blading eyebrow artist (for shading ? ) also preferably wireless
Hi Tess, is Bellar machine cordless. By looking at Bellar machine, I like it a lot. I’m a newbie I’m looking for a good and affordable machine. Which one would you recommend for me so I can use for brows,lips , eyeliners, nano strokes ? I have a machine from my trainer but sometimes the pigments not come out . Thank you so much.
Why would you recommend the Artyst for only Fitz 1-3s? What about Fitz 4-6s make it not work well on those skin types?
Nice to hear you say thanks Joelle 🥰 K I think I need this machine too
Hi Tess! Would you recommend the mast tour for eyeliner?
Which one of those machines is more appropriate for stretch marks camouflage?
Just starting off what would you recommend?? Bishop Or Xion s
I love the detailing shared of all machines but i m still confused which one to buy which is economical & best to use
What needle would you suggest to use for blushed lips using the xion s?
Hi do you have an opinion between the bishop packer and shader?
I was watching your video where do you get the color from, do they come with machine or you got to order it from the manufacturer l
You can change the stroke length on the artyst H1by twisting as well.
I’m looking to get a new machine. On the fence, between the Neuma 4 and the Valkyr on both I can change the stroke super easily. And both have some give. The Valkyr you change the stroke by simply twisting. The NEUMA you can also change the cam.
Hi, which bishop machine would be great for lip blush beginners please?
Also do you have a review for the new Bishop pmu machine??
Also Tess love your work and your videos
do you have any updates on machines. Has bishop created a better machine, or are there any others you would recommend a year later
Does the acts Valhalla machines needle go up and down? When turned on
Hi Tess! What power supply would you recommend for the Bishop Packer & Valhalla? Thanks!

Thanks so much for the review. The xion is just the regular xion meant for body tattoos, the xion s is not this one and the S is more meant for pmu. You can also adjust the hit with xion S 😁

Thank you for the review Tess you're my favorite by far!! What's the open part of the cartridge for? 🙈
@Tesstattoo
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much!! The open cartridge is for airflow for the pigment, if the cartridge opening is facing towards you, the air can’t flow properly making the pigment not flow properly

The stronger the hit the more traumatic it is to the skin, the more you will see the pixels as well. For a less pixelated look and less trauma I recommend a lower stroke level

@@marielabreche498 you’re welcome. As far as voltage goes that is totally personal preference and depends how fast you flick your hand. Your hand movement and speed should match so if you flick slow with your hand your speed on the voltage should be slow to match. I personally work anywhere from a 5-1.1
How much price plz

Great video but background music is annoying
