If you’re looking for a power supply for your permanent makeup machine, whether you’ve just started your career or it’s time for an upgrade, here are our top picks!
From reliable budget options to advanced power packs with plenty of advanced features, check out the best options for PMU power supply below or check out our blog on what you need to power your permanent makeup machine for what to look out for in your own search!
Critical AtomX/X-R
The AtomX and AtomX-R power supplies from Critical are a best-seller the PMU industry thanks to their reliability and many features!
The AtomX is a small, user-friendly puck that works with all rotary tattoo and permanent makeup machines. It features a screen that displays your current voltage, a colour-changing voltage indicator between 1.5 and 17 Volts, and five buttons for control.
This compact power supply is fitted with magnets so it can attach to any magnetic surface, and can be used with a foot pedal thanks to the pedal override mode, available in both maintained and momentary modes.
The AtomX-R improves upon the AtomX with an aesthetic look, rose gold finish and with extra software features like built-in short circuit protection, and a voltage pre-set memory that’s maintained even when the power is turned off. There’s no wrong choice out of these two!
Dragonhawk Dual Mode
A simpler option with an affordable price point, this dual mode power supply from Dragonhawk offers up to 16 V of power for RCA and clipcord-connected machines. Made with built-in protection against overvoltage and short-circuiting, this power supply is an excellent basic option with no bells and whistles, but plenty of power and foot switch compatibility!
Microbeau Airbolt and Airbolt Mini
Take your rotary PMU machine anywhere with Microbeau’s Airbolt and Airbolt Mini! These compact power supplies operate between 5 and 12 Volts, adjustable in 0.5 V increments. You can even use the Airbolt while it charges, thanks to the Dynamic Power-Path Management.
You can easily see your current voltage thanks to the colour-coded LED indicator, and with just three buttons, it’s incredibly easy to use! The built-in magnetic anti-slip pad means you can position the Airbolt on a magnetic surface or on your work station without worrying about movement.
With the Airbolt and Airbolt Mini, you’lll get access to the Darklab app for unlimited presets, voice control, eGive and firmware updates - plus, the automatic jumpstart feature will help larger machines to start without any trouble!
The standard Airbolt will provide up to 15 hours of battery life, while the Airbolt Mini provides up to 10 hours - but it’s 25g lighter, and slightly shorter too!
Lightning Bolt Universal
Another excellent offering from Darklab, the Lightning Bolt Universal is our premium wireless power supply, compatible with all RCA-powered tattoo and PMU machines!
With a convenient 5-12 Volt range and universal access plug, you’ll get many of the same benefits as the Airbolt but in a battery pack that plugs directly into your machine. It offers up to 6 hours of working time, is compatible with the Darklab app and foot switches, and weighing just 58g you can be sure that it won’t make your machine top-heavy!
If your machine has an RCA connection, it will work with the wireless FK Irons Lightning Bolt Universal!
FK Irons Hover
This sleek, sophisticated, touchless OLED display power supply from Darklab is built for maximum hygiene!
Controlled by hands-free gestures, the FK Irons Hover is a revolution for minimising cross-contamination. Simply swipe to adjust your voltage between 2 and 17 Volts, or switch between to the two machine outputs with a gesture - you can also use a wireless foot switch.
Built with an anti-slip magnetic base and 180-degree screen rotation, you can place your Hover on any surface and still easily see the OLED screen. You can also charge your phone, tablet or other accessories thanks to the USB-A and USB-C ports.
Wireless Machines with Battery Packs
Some of our favourite wireless PMU machines already come with battery packs included, so if you’re still looking for a machine, why not get two in one?
Microbeau makes incredible wireless machines including the Flux Mini, The Flux S and Flux S Max! The Microbeau Flux Mini comes with its own Mini version of the Powerbolt battery pack, with up to 4 hours of run time in its tiny footprint and an LED indicated voltage level between 5 and 10 Volts.
The Flux S Max uses the upgraded Powerbolt II to provide an impressive 10 hours of battery life between 4 and 12 Volts, with an advanced digital display but simple input of just three buttons. You can adjust eGive, check battery life and customise your display depending on how you like to work!
