  • Please dont buy cheap china tattoo machines. Get real....

  • Tattooing takes art skill/atleast a decent amount of skill. If u cant trace a line perfect easily stop.Cant just buy a machine and tattoo. You must learn to tune the machine which takes a long time by yourself, some Pro/fact info on machines helps make it faster but hard to find & its not on u tube. Learn about needles/depth /hit/ safety, cause little trauma. Not 18 STOP or u will scar u self

  • Hell man your to cheap to bag your machine and cover your clip cord. It also is not wise to dabb the end of those needle straight in to the paper towel the way you do ,you are going to get little pieces of paper towel in between the needles ,you need to drag your tube across paper towel backwards to prevent paper from getting between needles

  • ok the problem for me is gettin into tattooing is hard, im a girl so some people dont take me seriously, and im 15 and i cant do anythign in a tattoo studio yet, i have called every tattoo studio around me and thre is nothing!!! any tips??

  • no shop will take u until 18 unless ur parents are there, gotta better chance doing ur own tattoos lol

  • @dreadhead12345678 yeh true true im just gona go collage to pratice my art then take it from there, maybe get my own kit and pratice on fake skin and stuff

  • Jleardley the easiest way , if you wanna get into tattooing , is buying some cheap kit for a start ( bought mine on Ebay from China for aprox. ´100 US dollars ) Then check some instruction vids to get a clue on how to start , Get some friends or real pigskin ( training skin sucks ) You can also practice a bit on your ´self.

  • @Narcos111 YTeah god forbid anyone would grow a pair and do it the right way, NOT this way! good luck bc you people will never get anywhere. Home scrathers are an epidemic that needs to be addressed by the health dept. stop being pussies and hit the streets

  • @sauce2034 what's the " right way " then ? getting an apprentice spot in swede, where I live, is first of all very hard ( i've tried for 1 year ) And during this 3 year period you don't make any money whatsoever . I'm not saying every retard should do this , it takes talent and reason , but then what does'nt . I would'nt suggest people to even cross the street in case they're retarded

  • Home artists use disposable sterile equipment once just like shops. Tattooing is not rocket science and cross contamination is common sense. How do u know how safe or dirty everyone does it. FACT is Most of the Best tattooers today in shops learned on there own !! You calling them scratchers ? Learn about the history cause your lost. Yes wanna B kids with no skill & do it dirty should stop. Have Age limit 21-25 & up not illegal. Cant stop passion&skill

  • @Headshothorror4488 How do you know what these people are using at home? and more importantly, They are terrible at tattooing. I takes allot of skil and many years to be able to identify what your values, color and BG will be. These ppl continue to make tattooing look bad. In every profession and trade you start at the bottom and work your way to the top IF youre a hard worker and lucky. These ppl feel they can t just do whatever they want. The fact is they know they're not going to make it.

  • yes, Did you even read what i wrote ? I said many kids play artist and fuck people up, i speak fo good tattooers not kids who suck. 1st of all most of the best today learned on there own !! 2nd i dont know how they do it but Most use disposables and do it like a shop would,a good shop. What is your point ? Do u know how they do it at home ? Well yeah i dont get your question ? All i know is the best today learned on there own and that i Fact.

  • Now i don't speak for every child buying crap and jumping into it without learning the right way taking it slow. Not for homemade" gun" people or ones who use same needles.You cant say every artist who is not in a shop is dirty or uses the same needles. Buying sterile equipment just like a shop and doing it in a clean safe way is not scratching. Best guys out said the same,a scratchers does it with no gloves dirty ect ..and most big names agreed. BEST OUT DID THE SAME

  • @Headshothorror4488 so are you a professional tattooer? just wondering

  • A few of the top notch artist out there started out as scratchers. Most artist do, but if you are serious about learning get yourself to a tattoo shop and forget about this video. I learned and earned my title as an artist the right way. Anyone who has an iota of respect for this industry or much less themselves will do the same.

  • @GHB1974 Well put...

  • Excellent video! I'm retired after 18+ years of slinging ink and this is by far the BEST video on Youtube explaining a few tricks and tips! Great job!

  • look up Helpful Tips In Tattooing Portraits...2

  • Too many people running around with Ebay kits these days so its only proper someone show these people the right way seeing how they're gonna do it anyhow. Thanks for taking the time to show how to sling it properly!

  • very clear video, (unlike some others), and very helpfull to a amateur like me. Thanks for putting this on youtube for people like me to learn from.

  • what is roket science on one whats that mean?what if you dont have enough money for a very good gun to start like not expecting to go tat a bunch of ppl n make money just for the feel and male practicing on myself like colourin my tats in like a cheapo will be to hard to use? wont work ?thnx no sarcasm im really interested n starting not doin it on ppl for a long time but startin on pads myself maybe later ect,videos rock man

  • Get an apprenticeship.

  • Why? Learn some else's bad fcking habits, yea ok.?.? There is alot to learn but at the same time, if you need a slave in your shop, don't beg for one. Idiots!

  • hit me up ill get you running in the right direction

  • I really like your videos.

    I'm getting my first machine soon, and I'm apprenticing at a shop near my house.

    I'm so excited, and your videos help me feel like i'm not just diving in headfirst.
