Just find a 12v charger cable from an old ethernet router wireless home phone or something else prob around 250 ma but the important thing is the 12v. just cut the wire strip it and connect it to the tattoo machine screws and insulate with electrical tape. I connect mine to a power strip so i can turn it on and off with my foot. Hope this helps someone out and happy tattooing! :)

Home tattoo kits are a popular way to apply permanent tattoos without going to a tattoo parlor, although they can be dangerous. These kits are usually powered by electricity - the tattoo gun has a cord that plugs into standard outlets and operates at a range of 110 to 220 volts.

What should your digital power supply read too tattoo outlines?
Hopefully the artist that's teaching you to tattoo has gotten into this, but... There are a lot of things that go into finding the right power setting, from the model of power supply you have to the machine you have hooked to it to the needles you use to the way you tattoo. The only way you're ever going to know is to test it...so go buy a chicken (seriously, a whole raw chicken from the grocery store) and experiment.
How do you decide the speed of the tattoo machine?
Each artist finds and performs different settings for their personal machine, allowing the artist to feel comfortable using the machine. The type of skin the client has, along with the size or type of tattoo, determines the setting of the machine and the power supply. Plug in the power supply and attach the cord to the tattoo machine. Place the tube in the tattoo machine and insert the needle in the tube. Tap the foot pedal to ensure the machine is working. Adjust the springs on the tattoo machine to control the depth. Apply pressure with the hand that holds the machine, pressing down into the skin for more depth after adjusting the springs. Turn the voltage of the power supply up to adjust the speed. The more voltage, or higher setting, of the power supply equals a quicker speed. A lower speed is optimal for tattooing bony areas of the body and high speeds for fleshy parts.
What should follow through on a tattoo digital power supply?
The person who apprentices you should tell you that. It is not something you should be learning about on the internet
