EZ PG3 Tattoo Power Supply Review

The EZ PG3 battery pack connects to any tattoo machines that operate off of RCA cords. It offers 200 minutes of tattoo time with plenty of power. This is our favorite budget power supply option, providing the same power as Critical power supplies for a fraction of the cost.

 The EZ PG3 tattoo supply is comparable to the Critical battery packs, which normally run about $250, making EZ’s version a fraction of the price for similar features and reliable power.

 The EZ PG3 power supply has no issues pushing even larger needle groupings like 1214RL, and it was easy to connect to our tattoo machine. There’s no startup issues.
PROS:
  • Low price for high quality
  • Compatible with any tattoo machine with an RCA connection
  • Runs 5V-12V, allowing you to complete any technique from stipple shading to power lining.
CONS:
  • When changing voltages, the buttons felt “backward.” The left button goes up in voltage, and the right button goes down in voltage.

EZ PG3 - Our Review:

In the past, we’ve exclusively used Critical battery packs. However, the EZ PG3 is a great alternative that’s a fraction of the price. It’s our #1 recommended wireless battery for new artists. 

It offers a 5 voltage (perfect for stippling) all the way up to 12 volts (perfect for pushing thick liners and color packing).

Opposite Operating System

The EZ PG3 will feel a bit “backward” when you adjust the voltages. The left button turns the voltage up and the right button turns it down. On most other tattoo power supplies, it is the other way around (right is up and left is down).

High Quality Budget Option

In our experience, most “budget” power supplies have issues being consistent. This is important because you need a constant stream of electricity going into the machine to get consistent fills and solid linework. 

However, the EZ PG3 had no issues with this. It was easy to connect to the machine, and can run 5-12V. Which voltage you choose to use depends on what style you’re going to tattoo.

Who the EZ PG3 Tattoo Battery Pack Is (and Isn’t) For:

We highly recommend the EZ PG3 to both new and experienced artists. If you’re looking to change to a new type of power supply after working with a clip cord or RCA cord, this is a great option at a low price point. 

It’s also perfect for new tattoo artists who don’t want to invest heavily in a power supply yet.

Prepare for a Tattooing Career with the Artist Accelerator Program

student work from the Artist Accelerator tattoo artist training programs

Learning to use tattoo equipment is an exciting step in your journey, but it can also be pretty eye-opening to how difficult tattooing can be. Without the right knowledge, it’s impossible to level up your skills and become a professional tattoo artist. 

However, finding the straight-forward information you need to progress is difficult. And with so much out there online, it’s hard to avoid picking up bad habits from incorrect and outdated resources.

This is one of the biggest struggles new tattooers face, and too many talented artists have given up their goal of getting into tattooing because of the years it would take to unlearn their bad habits.
