Choosing a permanent makeup machine is the biggest single equipment decision a PMU artist makes, and the market is full of unbranded units sold with no warranty, no parts supply and no support. This guide compares the Goochie PMU machines available in Nepal in 2026 — real prices, what each one suits, and how to avoid the counterfeit units that circulate here. Artistry Academy is the authorized Goochie distributor for Nepal.

Which machine should you actually buy?
If you are just finishing training
The Tough Guy at NPR 42,550 or the Black Ghost at NPR 45,500 are the sensible entry points. Both are genuine professional units, not toys — they will get you through your first year of client work. Do not spend NPR 138,000 before you know which techniques you will specialise in.
If you would rather buy everything at once, the A8 Rocket Kit at NPR 53,360 bundles the machine with what you need to start, which usually works out cheaper than assembling the same setup piece by piece.
If you are working on clients regularly
The 702 at NPR 56,350 and the F9 at NPR 61,640 sit in the sweet spot for artists with a steady diary. You get better needle stability and more consistent depth control, which matters when you are doing several brow appointments a week.
If PMU is your full-time income
The F7 (2.5V) at NPR 121,000, the M8 at NPR 121,900 and the G6 Kit at NPR 138,000 are built for daily professional use. The justification for the price is reliability and consistency — a machine that behaves identically on appointment one and appointment eight of the day. When your work is semi-permanent, consistency is not a luxury.
The G6 comes as a full kit, which is why it sits at the top of the range. If you are equipping a studio from scratch, compare the kit total against buying the components separately before deciding.
Do not forget the power supply
A machine is only as stable as the power feeding it. Voltage fluctuation is what causes inconsistent depth — the most common cause of patchy healed results that artists blame on their own technique.
- Goochie Q3 Power Supply — NPR 12,500
- Goochie V3 Power Supply — NPR 24,000
Check whether your chosen machine includes a supply before budgeting. Kits generally do; standalone machines generally do not.
Matching needles to your machine
Cartridge needles are machine-specific — using the wrong cartridge is a hygiene and performance problem, not a minor compatibility issue:
- Goochie G6 Cartridge Needles — NPR 6,900
- Goochie A8 Cartridge Needles — NPR 6,900
- Goochie M8 Cartridge Needles — NPR 6,900
- Goochie PRO Cartridge Needles — NPR 4,830
- Goochie Twilight Cartridge Needles — NPR 3,680
Needles are a recurring cost, not a one-off. Factor your monthly consumption into the real cost of ownership — a cheaper machine that takes expensive proprietary cartridges may cost more over two years.
How to avoid counterfeit PMU machines in Nepal
Fake units are a genuine problem in this market, and the consequences land on your client’s face. Protect yourself:
- Buy from an authorized distributor. Ask directly. We are the authorized Goochie distributor for Nepal and can verify authenticity.
- Be suspicious of prices far below the range above. A “Goochie G6” at NPR 40,000 is not a Goochie G6.
- Check that needle supply is guaranteed. A machine you cannot get genuine cartridges for is scrap within a year.
- Ask about warranty and servicing. Grey-market imports have neither.
- Avoid unbranded social media sellers who cannot show you the product in person.
A counterfeit machine with inconsistent voltage deposits pigment at inconsistent depth. That means blurred strokes, patchy healing and corrective work you will have to do free of charge — which costs far more than the money saved.
Building your full setup
Beyond the machine, a working PMU studio needs pigments such as the VIP Goochie Pigment Set (NPR 24,000), brow mapping tools (NPR 2,760), practice skins (NPR 4,500), numbing products (NPR 2,400) and disposable sterilised supplies (NPR 1,265). See the complete catalogue.
Not trained yet?
Buy the training before the machine. Our one-week Microblading and Microshading course is NPR 95,000, and the 14-day Ultimate Brows Masterclass at NPR 1,65,000 includes nano machine training plus a master kit box worth NPR 75,000 — which means the equipment is already covered.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a PMU machine cost in Nepal?
Genuine Goochie PMU machines in Nepal range from NPR 42,550 for the Tough Guy up to NPR 138,000 for the G6 full kit. Mid-range professional units such as the 702 and F9 sit between NPR 56,350 and NPR 61,640. Prices far below this range usually indicate counterfeit units.
Which is the best PMU machine for beginners?
The Goochie Tough Guy at NPR 42,550 or the Black Ghost at NPR 45,500 are the best entry points. Both are genuine professional machines that will handle your first year of client work. The A8 Rocket Kit at NPR 53,360 is worth considering if you want the machine and starter accessories bundled together.
Do I need a separate power supply for a PMU machine?
Most standalone machines require one, while full kits usually include it. The Goochie Q3 costs NPR 12,500 and the V3 costs NPR 24,000. A stable power supply matters because voltage fluctuation causes inconsistent needle depth, which is a common cause of patchy healed results.
Are Goochie cartridge needles interchangeable between machines?
No. Cartridge needles are machine-specific — G6, A8 and M8 cartridges each cost NPR 6,900 and are designed for their matching machine. Using the wrong cartridge creates both performance and hygiene problems, so always match the needle to your unit.
How do I know if a PMU machine is genuine?
Buy from an authorized distributor and ask directly about warranty, servicing and guaranteed genuine needle supply. Be sceptical of prices well below the normal range, and avoid unbranded social media sellers who cannot show you the product in person.
