When you decide to do scar camouflage training one of the most frequent questions is: What equipment should I buy before starting my classes? Which are the best supplies to work with for camouflage? What is the estimated cost of the basic materials?
In this article, we will address these frequently asked questions and provide you with the necessary clarification.
You will learn about the required materials, their specific details, and even where to purchase them!
Typically, when you enroll in a stretch mark tattoo camouflage course, the included materials kit consists of basic, low-cost supplies.
This does not indicate that they are of bad quality. Because camouflage is derived from tattoo techniques, the required supplies are quite inexpensive when compared to the investment required for other aesthetic services that may require more advanced equipment or machines. This permits you to make a more modest first investment in your career.
However, when purchasing these kits supplied by the courses, you may wind up paying extra simply because you are unfamiliar with the exact specifications of these supplies and the suggested shops to find them.
But don’t worry, we’re about to reveal all the secrets, allowing you to make good and cost-effective purchases while saving budget.
The essential professional scar camouflage kit should contain the following supplies: Tattoo machine, power source (in case your machine is not wireless), needles, tattoo pigments/ink, diluent (mixing solution), ink mixer, tattoo cups, wipes, tattoo machine cover, grip cover.
The shop and shipping are done directly from your Amazon app.
Below is a list with links to already selected essential supplies, together with their specs and corresponding suppliers.
So you don’t have to worry about which variant of the item to choose; simply click on the link of the material you desire below, and your Amazon app will open with the correct product and your type already picked; simply add it to your cart, select the shipping option and purchase.
Before you buy your tattoo machine, you should be aware that there are two types:
1 – Machines that require a power source to function.
2 – Machines Wireless, which do not require a power source since they are powered by built-in batteries.
There is also the option of purchasing a portable wireless power source for the machines of option 1 above. Making it function like a wireless one.
However, for cost savings, we do not recommend traditional machines because the wireless machines are more practical to operate and, in the end, cost the same.
If you want to choose other machine models not listed in this selection, they must have Stroke Length: 3.5mm and RPM from 12000 to 15000.
There are several needle cartridges variants, but to utilize them appropriately, considerable practice is required. As a result, we only include alternatives that you may employ without causing difficulties for yourself or your patients.
Since stretch marks cause stretch of the skin and scars can have different textures, we must use specific needles.
The options listed here can be utilized for both stretch mark camouflage and scars covering up.
Another crucial piece of information is that the ideal needle brand is Cheyenne. The brand of the machine tattoo has no bearing on the performance of your procedure, but the needle will.
As a result, we will mention two brands below, one for practice on artificial skin and the other for working on your patient, the Cheyenne brand cartridge needles.
We certified the first camouflage professionals in the United States and Europe! Since then, we have not ceased upgrading and focusing only on the medical tattooing method.
Do you want to know how to conceal skin marks? Study with someone who has gained all of their knowledge from real-world experience.
After all, knowledge is simply knowing things, but wisdom is knowing how to use this knowledge.
These materials are necessary for you to be able to perform all the existing processes before your service or hands-on class.
We use the paper towel to record our formulas as well as to test them. For this reason, it should be white and plain. Do not use sophisticated paper towels, such as reusable paper towels, because they can alter your analysis of your formula.
Wet wipes are utilized both before and after the procedure to maintain the area being camouflaged clean, as well as to clean the mixer handle and other simple cleanings of our work materials. Because we use them on our patients and they have an “open wound” on their skin, we need to use the purest, most sensitive wipes possible.
The bib sheet is used to line your workstation to make it cleaner and more sanitary.
We will list below 2 options from which only the colors differ.
The clip cord or machine cover is used to protect your equipment from cross-contamination.
Tattoo tape is to be wrapped around the tattoo machine handle, sealing the clip cord protector and preventing cross contamination from occurring on your machine. In addition, it has stretch and a texture that allows for a better “grip” when tattooing. Below are three color options:
Because we perform an invasive procedure, we must take additional biosecurity precautions throughout our care. In addition to the equipment protectors mentioned above, we must utilize the following supplies:
Below are two colors of stretch nitrile gloves for your choice. Pay attention to the ideal size for you before ordering to ship. Because the sizes are as standard M. If it is the case, enter the shop and change to your desired size.
We know that ordinary masks are cheaper, however, they do not provide the necessary security for our work. That is why we always recommend this model to our students.
Before beginning the procedure, several biosafety precautions must be taken, which include disinfecting the region to be tattooed, thus we will list the essential goods below. It is not required to recreate the wheel by purchasing complex items with extensive marketing involved. Less is more in this case.
To disinfect the corporal area where we will be working, we must apply a suitable solution for skin sanitization. We may also use the alcohol swab, however, we prefer the following solution these days:
Professional care after the procedure necessitates the professional’s practical understanding of which goods to employ. Fortunately for you, specialist Fernanda has been working in this sector from its start and has previously evaluated numerous post-tattoo products aimed at health, hygiene, and, of course, superior outcomes. As a result, a proper post-tattoo product is a detail that can put you ahead of your rival.
Most instructors encourage their students to practice on artificial skins. However, this material does not allow for accurate of your performance evaluation.
Our course instructs students to practice strokes, pigmentation, and other skill assessments on EVA paper. This paper is excellent for replicating the method’s performance in stretch mark, as well as practicing strokes, pressure, and depth, among other professional abilities.
Your care equipment should comfort your patient and you as a professional.
It may not appear so, but comfy equipment will help you create more and better results. After all, sitting for hours might be exhausting if your equipment is uncomfortable.
We’ll go through some work tables/beds and chairs/ alternatives below.
There are diverse chairs available in shops, including circular, saddle-style, with or without a backrest.
However, based on our experience working in this profession, you will be unable to work with your back resting on the back of the chair since it is you, not your patient, who will need to position yourself for the greatest job. That is why chairs with backrests should be avoided because they will just increase your spending.
Chairs with rounded seats can be used, but the saddle seat is the ideal option since it improves the professional’s posture throughout the workday.
The same thing applies to tables and beds; there are numerous possibilities, therefore we compiled a list of those with the top reviews for you to determine which option is ideal for you!
Now, if you are already experienced, or if you are an investor looking to get started in a more sophisticated way, you can choose hydraulic or electric beds, which provide greater comfort to your patients while also being practical because they adjust themselves based on your needs, thereby facilitating your work.

Throughout the treatment, we will need to maintain our tattoo machine loaded with ink at all times, and we will need to have moist tissues close at hand, and most importantly, on a clean surface, to wipe the excess ink from our patient’s skin. As a result, having an mayo instrument tray nearby is essential.
This auxiliary table should be of non-contaminating materials that can be easily cleaned and sterilized. As a result, we will present some of the greatest possibilities for instrument stand for your job below.

There are also other items, such as posters and skin models, that may be used as décor in our workplace in addition to helping us learn and teach the procedure to our patients.
Another often-asked issue is what colors and inks work best with the stretch marks camouflage tattoo, and coverup scars. This uncertainty extends not just to people just starting in the business, but also to professionals already working.
First and first, you should be aware that there are no ready-made inks for use with this procedure since, unlike eyebrow work, e.g., we work with the skin, and there are endless options when it comes to skin tones.
We have a standard categorization for skin tones and their kinds, but within each classification, there are limitless tones, and it needs knowledge and skill to develop the color that suits the patient’s skin.
Fernanda Jaffre expertly applied stretch concealer to stretch marks, flawlessly blending it into her complexion and enabling her confidence to stretch and shine.
Is there truly a distinction between these pigments? Isn’t it enough to merely choose colors that match a patient’s ideal skin tone?
No. Simply knowing the right colors is not enough; each pigment’s composition will also impact your work’s long-term outcome.
Obviously, the ink mixes employed for white stretch mark covering are not the same as those used for dark scar lightening. In comparison to the lightening procedure, however, more colors are employed to hide stretch marks.
As a result, in the education of our students, we usually start with the approach used on a stretch mark, since once they understand the rationale of this colorimetry, the others will be much easier to master.
That is why we selected the best inks for this purpose.
Contrary to belief, all inks include hybrid pigments, notwithstanding what you may believe about the organic trend. Even if you read or hear differently, organic compositions do not work with this technique.
