How to make a DIY tattoo

[immacookielover]

I've done a couple of these on myself and I like them. They're cheap and you know what you want. It's easy too.

[Meatbootz]

Freaking annoying music

[bbm964]

shouldnt you wash your hands before you dip it

[GageDRC]

your music gave me a seazure...

[kejawynn]

does it have to be that type of ink? wat r other options?

[snapcracklemyazz34]

......you didn't use soap.... Thumbs up if you noticed.

[raider2661]

it's so worth it to just save up your money and go to a real artist instead of giving your self some lame tattoo that's gona look like shit in just a few years

[Babyfullable]

Trippin

[LilRstar24]

@IDrownUinthatSmile15 how did u do it with liquid eyeliner

[priston87]

[raider2661]

@priston87 u get da india ink at da store were dey sell DuH iNdIa InKK dawg

[EpicMorgo95]

what did you set the needle in?

[AintNoOneButMe]

I'd do this but I think my mom would kill me if she saw!

[Barbieloocp]

@IDrownUinthatSmile15 how you do yourself tattoo ???? please tell what did you used ???? i want buy colors from ebay what else i need please tell me

[roxettecool]

how many time u poke in the same place???

[trashcan1231]

The funny thing about his tattoo is that the ??? is backwards!!

[simianparkour]

how deep should you go from what ive heard is just enough to feel penetrate skin is this correct

[RIPLatashaHarlins]

that looks really good! Is that method a lot more painful than a normal tattoo?

[renmakka]

I'm totally going to do this on my foot.

[TheKaiMachine268985]

This is handy as I am 12

[crazychouchou1]

really suggest you go use some professional tools. the needle with thread just doesn't look right to me.

you can buy some basic tattoo machine gun, tattoo ink, or even complete tattoo kit with affordable price at amazon:

amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=U­TF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DE­R&me=A31MILNZ3WFKFR

[NoProblemsAtAll]

How deep should you poke? Like just gently or all the way through? Sorry for lame question.

[hater0rsk8ter]

i did them to kids at school haha and one of the kids like started crying his eyes out!

[Jetsfoolx]

u are a hatian ass nigga just go and pay for a real artist or get it done by someone who isnt a professional but has the tools

[mlbaa]

Your tats are wicked! I do my own too. I think your one of the only people on YouTube that has the technique down pat.

[7lovetwilight]

To people who are annoyed by the audio, you do know that there is a mute button right?????????O_O

[austenslost]

that is fucking sweet dude, where did you get the ink?

[kevnkourt3]

those sum wackass tats

[eduardoaosoriog]

can i use chinese ink? why do i have to use the thread???

[AbbehRose]

AAAAAAHHHHHHH LALALALALALALALAAAAAA! I'm sick of everyone commenting on these videos like "oh hey look at me, I'm a professional, the only REALLL way to do this is to have fancy equipment. La la la, I'm going to be a jerk, you're going to get AIDS, ha ha ha haaa" SHUT UP. And as long as you can tell what he's doing in the video, no one CARES about the audio or the visual effects.

Now, for the maker of this video, did that fade very much, and how long did it last before it started to fade?

[ROFLcAK3]

learn to make a video fuck

[EmoBearxD1]

Does this poking ...have to be deep because i will sstab myself lol

[local716]

this is the worst jail shit i ever seen

[GtAleska]

I did all 3 of mine this way and none of em got infected but the repeated poking did stress me out( especially on the shading of large area's) lol

[3liversa]

Dude you belong in a tree, cause your nuts... (Peter griffin quote) I won't ever do that, I enjoy my artwork with real tools. But I guess people do things differently. Enjoy yourself.

[lavica666]

Amazing video, the best one yet! I wanna do this so badly!! But I'm afraid it'll get infected...so question - does it get infected?honestly? :))

[ThatKidCantSkate]

@lavica666 use india ink and youll be fine. 3$ at any art store for 2 ounces of it.

[kakashihatakeofax2]

How long does it take to fade?, and is there any way of removing unwanted tattoos

[zombone3535]

annoying ass audio....LAME.

[Nikkii2424]

He's so beautiful........

[adorkable2011]

Hey you wanna do one for me?

[sixuemilian]

It hurts?And it' have any risk?

[hekotin]

@sixuemilian It hurts a little and everything has risks if something goes wrong. Just clean your needless carefully before you tattoo and there should be no problems

[sixuemilian]

@hekotin Thanks bro'!I'll try to do this correctly

[GabbyGrapist]

Does it matter if you sketch the design you want onto your skin and then start poking?

[pumpkinpatchkid1]

@GabbyGrapist how els would you know where to poke

[GabbyGrapist]

@pumpkinpatchkid1 You could always free hand it. Not the smartest idea I guess but I've free handed Henna designs before and they turned out good. I was just curious if it could possibly cause infection.

[pumpkinpatchkid1]

@GabbyGrapist i suppose, i mean if you think you can then do it but remember that henna lasts for a few weeks and this lasts for a really long time if not forever so i wouldn't really freehand it and nope you cant really get poisoning or a infection from drawing it on first because there wouldn't be enough ink to poison you and dont use pen ink for the actual tattoo

[georgialianneyorke]

your question mark is the wrong way round

[georgialianneyorke]

your question mark is the wrong way round

[thedemic34]

this video is crap u cant understand shit with those scribles its sounds stupid not cool and also with that stupid ass voise.

[pppppcrehan]

Music is annoying but vid is cool

[jojoboohz]

Does it hurt?.. And can i use pen ink?

[Petegrin1]

[Petegrin1]

[ElmoTime90210]

what would pen ink do 2 u

[gearsofshock]

yea his looks great

[SuperPrincess381]

This is most definitely the easiest way. You can use gel pen ink. It works good

[timsurftim]

[RainbowTrucks]

[smoke98able]

MAAAN EVERY ONE THATS GONNA DO THIS OR DID THIS IS GONNA HAVE OR HAVE ADIS OR CANCER :P dont belive but true

[LadyEmo519]

[dgirl2234]

[joeyjhc]

[elsucio84]

i used china ink...and it worked..

[Heathbar125]

this is cool...can u get the ink in smaller quantities and if so where? and that tattoo is amazing i love it my parents would KILL me if i tattooed myself thats y im gonna wait a year and then start little bitty hearts on my hand and go from there (:

[CHPG666]

[Tweedstar420]

how did you get your lines so nice and clean?

[katiehongolarox]

does it matter what kind of lotion you use???

[Stupid0Goon]

@katiehongolarox anything scentless, a&d or tripple anti biotic ointment work better, vasalene works. just dont let it scab up

[tomoliveras]

igave myself one of these today. theres an easier way to do it. use a sewing needle and thread sterilize the needle by boiling it water for like 6 minutes then burn the tip. you then tie the needle to a pencil using thread. start wrapping at the bottom work your way to the top and then back to the bottom. make sure its sturdy have like an inch or half inch sticking over top of pencil. wrap to the tip of the needle leave a 1/16th exposed. and you can use india ink. you can get it at art stores.

[Petegrin1]

u do know that that tatto gonna be there the rest of your life huh?

[chemicalbeth]

how about stamp pad ink would that work????

[CHRISLAGARTO99]

Whats the name of the song???????

[aksoccer1000]

r u giving urself a tattoo with a real needle and stabbing it into ur skin like the tattoo artists do?! ouch!!!!!

[banobre]

where can i get real tattoo ink??

[infernaltyrant]

LOL worst tattoo ever. Its got a cool meaning but this is why you get a professional to do it.

[werealldoodshey]

is the voice-over howard zinn?

[memomemomemog]

how much of the needle should be out like to go in te skin so it dosent poke any vains??

[baambaamboom]

can you use acrylic ink?

[magicalwrath]

did you burn the needle i dont get it im confused someone explain please!

[jiggleman123]

i used pen ink and my tattoo is still in and has been for a year

[SaturnGirlDark13]

The question mark is backwards!

[bluesy92]

I've heard of people getting carbon from the soot of a flame or burning paper or wood, and then mixing it with water for the ink. So....carbon mixed with water. good or bad idea? Please reply within a couple days, or I'll find out myself :P Thanks!

[Nikki2k1O]

Do you still have the tattoos ?

[LordNexXus]

I loved this and the whole idea of the tattoo and wha it represents! The music was great, in my opinion. This whole thing was a mindfuck, but in a good way. :)

[djonetoone]

pen ink don' result?

[gregy620]

And where do you get india ink?

[pureacconly]

Is the caligraphy ink permanant?!?!?!

[MrRobertbarre]

dam dude you hand poked that your fucking nuts

[Ally112083]

the "music" is bugging the hell out of me...

[fly1281]

what if you really want a tattoo

like really bad

but you are scares that ur gonna get caught by your parents.......

[Raaaachell]

have you gotten a real tattoo?? if so can you tell me which hurts more; this or a real one? thanks! :) do you recommend this for people who are not yet the legal age to get a tattoo but really want one (just a tiny one, not a huge thing) ? :)

[zombiekillingninja]

idk how hard to poke it! XD

[11thhourreprieve]

I like this vid a lot. Not only does it show someone doing art on themselves in a way that some will find contemptable but the artist has also made the vid itself an art piece rather than just a recording of the art in progress. It seems some viewers aren't liking the vid's audio and/or visuals as much as some might not like what he's doing in the vid. I think it all ties in quite well. ppl, have your artistic beliefs challenged :O)

[11thhourreprieve]

@11thhourreprieve Actually I can imagine this  vid being a multimedia art piece submited by a student as course work. I watched it again. it's kinda profound.

[xXPLUGxLUVXx]

why do you wrap the needle with thread?

[panic19020]

@xXPLUGxLUVXx the ink sticks to the thread on the needle so you wont have to dip it in the ink after every poke.

[Natashajb]

i used pen ink. :s

[aleximbleau]

thats realy cool dude sweet job!!

[cbebop2411]

Thanks for the video post! Going to try this out tomorrow/this weekend! Wish me luck!

[yippe]

haha, your not an artist. Your a bum who is too cheap to pay an actual artist to put something of value on you.

[gothkid1]

@yippe Why pay for something, when youcan do it yourself and express your own creativity? I think a real artist could see the difference.

[yippe]

@gothkid1 bahahahaaaa. lmao.

[LaFlare010]

i tried it with pen ink it didnt work. for some reason it does stay permanent like other inks. now my knuckes are bleeding for no reason :(

[owlcityfish]

the sounds in the backround confuse me...just saying

[SWLifes]

how much does it last? or is it like permanent?

[d3rlii89]

just buy a tattoo machine they have cheap kits

[armsock]

where did you get you shirt i love it

[SKATERPAINT07]

can u use a sewing needle?

[yurasleepless]

dude

how deep does the needle go? i wanan tatto over my veins from the wrist up to the heart XD theres only black and red callygraphy ink, right? natural ones are them, ne (:

[aaalysssaaa]

It looks like he's using a pen that diabetics use to prick their finger and check there blood pressure. They dont go in far, but it would work good for this

[yurasleepless]

kewl

thnx! (:

[insanevisionzent]

yup thats wat it is

[mayudontcry]

@aaalysssaaa it's actually blood sugar testing needles, but yeah, their tiny. one of those is only about half as long as an earring stud, but sharp as hell.

[kazzu100]

wow.. this musst hurt. i want to try it but i am a little scared :D:D

however, nice drawing and also nice tattoos ;)

i am sorry if my english is bad :)

[zukibonafu]

the video is interesting to watch but damn that track playing is anooyiiiinnggg

[yurasleepless]

haha after 1 min 20 i had the great solution: turn off the sound XD and play some mp3 :3

[crist11101]

What if u where to use Pen ink?...

[PinoyCrackerBoyz]

you might die...

[TheDevincook]

it fades away after like a month or 2

[etrash]

Don't use pen ink. Use india ink (cheap) or real tattoo ink.

[fitzboy3]

@etrash pen ink will wash out and leave a scar

[MrHeadd1]

@etrash Why not just use a real tattoo machine(cheap) too?Your art will be a lot better.Good vid and tat though.Keep em coming.

[paris2010x]

@etrash why not use pen ink :(

[TheRcmodder]

@paris2010x cause it will give u infections go to staples and get india ink its cheap

[LovleyLust]

@TheRcmodder i used pen ink and it turned out fine, why is this?

[thenamesdatlon]

@LovleyLust the only problem is pen ink doesnt show up near as well. it stays more faded looking.

[TheAnonymous357]

@etrash What happens if you do use pen ink?

[CriisyBabes]

@TheAnonymous357 you could get ink poisening.

[TheAnonymous357]

@CriisyBabes Yeah, of course I knew that haha, don't take me as daft, I was just kinda drugged out when I asked that, and I'm glad I was too drugged out to make one of these, cause I had a plan for the tattoo, and now that I am thinking clear, I am SOOO happy I didn't do that, lmao... long story, just wanted to explain that im not stupid haha.

[CriisyBabes]

@TheAnonymous357 Hahaha! okay then.

[0plm9okn8ijb]

u die a horrible gruesome and painful death.... and it might fade after a while

[yurasleepless]

we all do if we a re afraid of life (= and you can redoit after awhile :3

[123KristenB]

@crist11101

you'd probably poision yourself

[PinoyCrackerBoyz]

that tat is pretty fuckin sweet man, like how it represents things falling apart and coming back together... sweet

[simaiksin]

did u use a 1.2mm needle?

[etrash]

Not sure about the size...but just a regular needle for diabetes blood sugar checking.

[mayudontcry]

@etrash that's about a 22 gauge

[FearOps]

@etrash how far apart are the pokings

[TheRcmodder]

@etrash its funny cause just a sec ago i was thinking a dibeties checker may work lol

[complicated12321]

ha.

How deep do you press in?

I've givin myself a shitty one on my hip by doing a slicing kind of way.

I tried poking, but nothing happen.

[etrash]

If it didn't work the first time, try using better india ink or even better, real tattoo ink if you can get some. And try a bit deeper maybe. It's all about experimentation. Worked for me the first time.

[jokain1]

@etrash .. no offense but. if u expirement on urself with no knowing wht to do man u might give urself an infection

[salakerz324]

thats stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spikesgurl]

where do you get those needles? I'd rather do it myself. I'd feel more accomplished afterwards.

[lovelymessgrl]

I wonder what kind of ink he used..... was it india ink?

[etrash]

i've never used india ink, but it might be similar to the korean calligraphy ink that i've been using. i know people that have used india ink and it worked for them. i'm in korea, so calligraphy ink is easy to get for about a dollar.

[spenceashlove07]

dude your tattoos are shitty.

[etrash]

yes.

[tehsplunker]

I love drugs too! what are the odds?!

[etrash]

donate some please.

[PiercedUpBaby]

wow ur freakin amazing! I dun my own diy tatoo and im 13 i will upload the vid soon so cheak out my channel, im obsed with piercings n tatoos your amazing how is yours going now?

[etrash]

mine's going ok from day one. i need to touch it up (always a good idea after doing stick & poke tatoos), but i've been too busy lately. how are you doing your own tattoos?

[alikill]

Go pro you silly cunt

[etrash]

hire me you silly prick.

[alikill]

cunt is a ugly word.

But why?surely that tatt will look horrible in a matter of months

[Jmklig]

omg i hate your stupid editing.

[etrash]

me too. the musick sucks too.

[Jmklig]

oh ok as long as you realized it ;) i wasnt trying to be mean.

[Jmklig]

ohh wait.. i just noticed that's the music... ok nvm the editing is fine. The music is terrible though.

[ujdos]

@Jmklig @Jmklig dude the editing was sick!

[ImayStalkU]

Wow the edits really fucked up the video.

[barnid]

fuck this fuckig idiot shit asshole fucking music and ansfjsajfasfs

[etrash]

yes indeed.

[ruthy1998]

it comes out messy i did it once and it came out really bad only two little dots were black and the rest was brown because my skin had healed over it lol

[etrash]

sounds like you did a shitty job. oh well.

[LTLfilms]

how do u sterilize and also where can i get a needle like that

[etrash]

those are needles for diabetic blood sugar testers, already sterilized and available in most pharmacies. tell the pharmacist your diabetic and need just three of them to check your blood sugar while hitchhiking far away and you can probably get some for free.

[LTLfilms]

im 16
