while this isn't the exact gun that i use, it is very similar, and in my opinion it's very beginner friendly for those starting tattooing!
Dragonhawk Wireless Tattoo Gun Kit W085D
if you're wanting to start tattooing, please use fake skin!! while it's not as good as the real deal, i practiced on myself first and i won't lie… the tattoos aren't the greatest.
Jconly 30Pcs Double Sides Tattoo Practice Skin
this is really good for protecting your tattoo and keeping it mosturized with.. natural fluids like plasma.. the only bad part is the removal process!
Tattoo Aftercare Waterproof Bandages 6" x 4.4yd
when i started tattooing, i actually free handed my designs and while they weren't bad, having a stencil printer makes the entire process sooo much easier.
ORGBRO X8 Thermal Tattoo Stencil Printer
i feel like this one is kind of a no brainer.. please stay clean and prepared if you're going to be tattooing even if it's on yourself!
Glovehouse Nitrile Gloves, 250/Box, Powder-Free
this is personally what i started tattooing with before i bought an actual gun, and while it's not a bad start, it definitely does take MUCH longer than a tattoo gun would.

having adhesive bandage wrap like this is great for both tattoo guns and stick and poke kits because it allows you to have a bretter grip on your tools and you can adjust it to what feels best for you!

if you're looking to do your own piercings, trust me and get the catheter type needles. it makes putting the jewelry in so much easier.
Jconly 50PCS 14G Catheter Piercing Needles
clean the area of your piercing well! you want to prevent infections, and alcohol prep pads are the best thing i've used to clean the area of my piercings.
CURAD Alcohol Prep Pads, 400 Medium Wipes
just like practice skin for tattooing, practice models for piercing is a good way to practice a piercing before actually doing it. that way you can get a feel for how to use your items like clamps and the needles themselves.
Soft Silicone Body Piercing Practice Model Set
a sharps container is so important for your needles, especially because we do not want anyone to reuse them or to get poked by them if somehow a trash bag rips and it needs to be cleaned up.
Ever Ready 1 Quart Sharps Container w/ Lock
having a ball grabber for your jewelry is so beyond helpful and prevents you from losing the ball that you're putting on.

these metal clamps are a god send when it comes to doing piercings because they're very stable, but please remember to clean and sterilize them properly.
5-Piece Body Piercing Kit Penington Forceps
in my opinion, this is a great starting jewelry set, but i would definitely recommend going and getting professional grade jewelry when you're able to.
