2. Safety Information

Warning and Disclaimer: If you are a tattoo artist, it’s no problem to use Solong Tattoo equipment. But if you are a tattoo beginner, please pay attention to the following warning tips:

• Before starting to tattoo yourself or others, please read the Instruction Manual carefully. The Instruction Manual in the Tattoo Kit could tell you how to start a tattoo. You can also check more teaching videos online.
• As a tattoo beginner, you should practice your design first on practice skins or on pears, apples, or something similar to human skin. This practice is necessary to improve your tattoo skills. You should have enough tattoo skills before tattooing on human skin, as tattooing on human skin is permanent.
• Before tattooing on your body, please make a Pigment Patch Test for the tattoo inks. If there are allergic reactions on the test skin, please stop use the pigment and contact us for help. No matter which brand pigment you are willing to use, the Pigment Patch Test is necessary.
• Pigment Patch Test Procedure:
  1. Clean a small area of skin in the inner forearm using soap & water or alcohol.
  2. Apply a small amount of pigment to the area and allow it to dry.
  3. After 24 hours, wash with soap & water.
  4. If no irritation or inflammation is apparent, it may be assumed no hypersensitivity to the pigment exists.
  5. Always test before application.
• Please keep your body healthy before tattooing. A weak body, such as being drunk, catching a cold, or any other sickness, should not undergo tattooing. It may result in your body being too weak to recover your tattooed parts. You should also maintain your body's health after the tattoo.
• Normally, the tattooed skin may take 5-10 days to recover. Please keep the skin dry during recovery. Bathing, drinking alcohol, and strenuous exercise are prohibited.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the machine is set up, ensure all connections are secure. The foot pedal activates the machine. Adjust the voltage on the power supply to control the needle speed and force. Always maintain a clean and sterile working environment.

Practice and Technique

Begin practicing on synthetic practice skins to develop control and technique before working on human skin. Experiment with different needle configurations and ink colors to understand their effects.

Cleaning and Sterilization

• After each use, disassemble the machine components that come into contact with ink or skin.
• Thoroughly clean all reusable parts with appropriate sterilizing solutions.
• Dispose of used needles, tips, and ink cups safely in a sharps container.
• Ensure all equipment is dry before storage.

Machine Care

6. Troubleshooting

Machine Not Working

If the machine does not activate when the foot pedal is pressed, consider the following:

• Check Power Supply: Ensure the power supply is plugged in, turned on, and the voltage display is active.
• Check Connections: Verify that the clip cord is securely connected to both the machine and the power supply.
• Check Foot Pedal: Ensure the foot pedal is properly connected and functioning.
• Needle/Grip Tightness: The screw that tightens the needle into the tube might be too tight. Loosen it slightly to allow proper needle movement.
• Machine Frame: Ensure the machine frame is properly tightened and assembled.

Inconsistent Operation

If the machine operates inconsistently:

• Voltage Adjustment: Adjust the voltage on the power supply. Inconsistent operation might indicate too low or too high voltage for the specific task.
• Needle Issues: Check if the needle is bent, dull, or improperly seated. Replace if necessary.
• Grommet/O-ring: Ensure the grommet and O-ring are correctly placed and not worn out, as they help stabilize the needle.
