In this episode of Inspired by Ms Amber Red, we’re getting into something every PMU artist needs to understand—tattoo machines and needle types. 🧠💉

Ms Amber Red, Sasha, and Adrienne sit down to unpack the real differences between needle-on-the-bar vs. cartridge machines—and trust us, this conversation might just change how you work forever.

Amber and Adrienne both swear by needle-on-the-bar machines (especially their fave: the Bishop V6) and explain why they prefer them over cartridges. Amber dives into the stabilization advantage that needle-on-the-bar offers—and how cartridges can fall short in this area. Adrienne admits no one ever explained this to her before, and if you’ve ever felt unsure about why you use a certain machine, this episode is for you.

We’re also talking about:

• How needle-on-the-bar can save you money
• The basics of BBP certification and how to properly clean your tray and setup
• Why some PMU artists skip over the fundamentals (and why that’s a big problem)

Plus, if you’re ready to get hands-on guidance, Amber offers 6-month apprenticeships to help you build confidence, skill, and knowledge the right way. 👩‍🏫 Link to inquire is below!

This one’s all about foundations, education, and leveling up as an artist. Let’s get into it. 🎧
