Complete guide: PMU PILLPEN Tattoo Machine Kit + NEMESIS Power Supply
The 'PMU PillPen + Nemesis Power Supply' kit brings together in a single package everything you need to start working: the GLOVCON PillPen rotary machine (silver variant, capsule design, ultra-light), the RCA power cable, the Nemesis power supply with digital adjustment, and a set of 20 Kwadron PMU Optima cartridges (25/1RLLT), sterile packaged. It is designed for micropigmentation artists — eyebrows, lips, eyeliner — who want a complete set, already tested for compatibility, without having to look for components separately. Thanks to the reduced grip diameter and low weight, the machine is held and controlled like a pen, making it accessible even for those at the beginning of their PMU journey.
How to use
- Connect the RCA cable between the PillPen machine and the Nemesis power supply, ensuring the RCA connector is securely attached at both ends.
- Mount a sterile Kwadron PMU Optima cartridge, chosen according to the technique being performed (e.g., 1RL configuration for lines/hair stroke).
- Adjust the needle extension, which ranges from 0 to 5 mm, depending on the treated area and desired depth.
- Turn on the Nemesis power supply and adjust the voltage on the digital display, starting from a low value and gradually increasing until you achieve the desired needle stroke.
- Test the needle movement on a practice surface before starting on the client, to confirm stability and the 3 mm stroke of the motor.
- Work with the pen-like grip allowed by the machine's reduced 17 mm diameter, maintaining a constant angle for clean lines.
- At the end, disconnect the RCA cable, dispose of the used cartridge (single-use) according to sharps waste regulations, and prepare the machine for disinfection.
Tips from us
- Increase the voltage gradually from the Nemesis power supply and stop at the minimum value that provides a uniform needle stroke — too high a voltage accelerates motor wear and can affect the work result.
- Choose the Kwadron Optima cartridge configuration according to the technique: RL configurations for fine lines/hair stroke, shader-type configurations for filling and shading.
- Always check the integrity of the cartridge's sterile packaging before mounting — if it is unsealed or damaged, do not use it.
- Being an ultra-light construction, avoid mechanical shocks (drops, impacts) that can affect the internal alignment of the machine's motor.
- If at some point you want to use a different power supply than the Nemesis, make sure it has an RCA output or a Jack-RCA adapter, as allowed by the machine's connector.
- Keep the RCA cable loosely coiled, without tight bends, to prevent wire breakage at the connector over time.
Warning: Kwadron PMU Optima cartridges are single-use and come sterile packaged — use a new cartridge for each client/session and never reuse it, no matter how little it was used. The machine body and RCA cable cannot be sterilized like a consumable, so cover them with single-use protective barriers before each procedure and disinfect the external surfaces after each client, according to your studio's hygiene protocol. Wear gloves throughout the cartridge mounting and the procedure, and dispose of used needles/cartridges in sharps waste containers, not in household trash.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does the PMU PillPen + Nemesis Power Supply kit contain?▾
The package includes the GLOVCON PillPen rotary machine (silver variant), the RCA power cable, the Nemesis power supply with digital voltage adjustment, and a set of 20 Kwadron PMU Optima cartridges (25/1RLLT), sterile packaged. Basically, you have everything you need to start working, without having to look for compatible components separately.
Is this kit suitable for someone just starting out in PMU?▾
Yes. The machine is held in the hand like a pen, thanks to the reduced grip diameter (17 mm) and low weight (120 g), which makes the transition natural for an artist at the beginning of their career. Being a complete kit, you no longer need to separately check the compatibility between the machine, power supply, and cartridges.
What cartridges can I use with the PillPen machine?▾
The machine is compatible with standard cartridges used on PMU rotary machines, and the kit already comes with 20 Kwadron PMU Optima 25/1RLLT cartridges included. Later, you can choose other standard configurations, from 1RL for hair stroke to shader-type configurations for filling, depending on the technique being performed.
How do I maintain and clean the machine and cable after each session?▾
Disconnect the RCA cable, remove and dispose of the used cartridge (single-use) in the sharps waste container, then disinfect the external surface of the machine and cable with a disinfectant compatible with tattoo/PMU equipment. Using single-use protective barriers on the machine body for each procedure reduces the need for intensive cleaning and protects the motor from direct contact with fluids.
What power supply should I use?▾
The kit already comes with the Nemesis power supply, with digital voltage adjustment and display for real-time parameter monitoring — you don't need another power supply to start working. If you later want a different power supply, the machine has an RCA connector and is compatible with any standard power supply with RCA output (or Jack-RCA via an adapter cable).
What PMU techniques can I perform with the PillPen machine?▾
The 3 mm motor stroke is designed for permanent makeup and micropigmentation — eyebrows (including powder brows, hair stroke, combo brows), lips (lip blush, full lip), and eyeliner. The needle extension, adjustable between 0 and 5 mm, allows you to adjust the depth according to the area and technique being performed.
