ive never really seen a good kit to buy ,, it's best to read read and read all about the art of tattoos and how they are done.. i really hope when you buy a machine you will also buy some pratice skin and tattoo on that for months before you even think about sticking somebody or your self... you need to study all about a tattoo machine what the parts are what they do and understand it ,, you need to learn how deep to set the needle and what volts works best for your machine,,, and how to tell a liner from a shader you need to train your wrist so it want get tired on big tattoos,,, i would stick a pencil in the machine and pratice drawing a good bit on paper ,, that will help you train your wrist and let you get a good feel on holding the machine... please just don't run out and buy some kit and start sticking people ,,take your time and be all you can be Its all ways better to find somebody who can teach you in person then on the net.. but you can find some good info by reading

Welcome to the forum

kits are a waste of money check anywhere on the net and you will find the same ansas

set aside around 3000 to get a good basic set up
that will include almost everything you need to get started

check on blood borne pathogens
first aid
and skin construction
before you do ANYTHING ELSE

dont hack away in the kitchen dedicate an area in your house solely for the purpose of tattooing
