review of lights that improves tattooing work

When tattooing it is important to see what you are doing.

This is a review on lights that we are using in the shop. They are useful and fairly cheap lights that give good light.

 

Pros of big lights:

Soft and bright light

Don’t cast sharp shadows

Can be placed far enough to avoid cross contamination

Cons of big lights:

Size

 

Pros of head torch:

Bright enough

Doesn’t cast shadows because of placement

Can be used touch free

Cons of heat torch:

Looks funny

Have to recharge of change batteries

 

Pros of regular floor lamp:

It is OK

Better than nothing

Cons of regular floor lamp:

Have to place close

Can get in a way

Have to wrap and unwrap

 

P.S. Safety first so don’t forget to weight big lights down so don’t tip over.
