Me first go at tattooing

I'm using the needle i pulled off the end of a syringe I found down the back of an old sofa in an empty squat in the next street down from an exchange. It was then sterilised in some tramps piss with an alchohol level of 94% which should be enough right? The area of skin being inked was wiped with an old wankyhanky then finally before finishing i cleaned my hands in the toilet bowl of my local.

First off. Fishman1977, you say hes giving us tattoo artists(yes i am one) a bad name? do you really think that going to some random, curious dudes video, and blasting him, calling him a faggot isnt makeing us look bad? Right from the get go you made yourself sound stupid, cause its not a tattoo gun. its a tattoo machine. guns kill, machines create. any real tattoo artist would know that and agree.

@fishman1977

how the fuck you are a pro tattoo artist and you use the term of "tattoo gun".

[architectus777]

@m0nk3yTM I don't buy it. I think this whole machine vs gun crap is a new mindset. Back in the day, tattooist called it a gun. We didn't care if guns killed people. A tattoo gun is not a machine gun. One kills, one does not. I will continue calling my awesome Swashback Whip a gun.

Wow, thats going to be kinda hard to cover up in the future! Definately going to look like shit.

I'll never understand the divide between "scratchers" and "elitists". Both consider themselves artists, and they use the same canvas. Is one required to study under Van Gogh or Monet, so that they may paint in watercolor? Seems like a silly disagreement to me. Oh yeah, except the money factor. Scratchers can do a piece for half the cost of the so called "elite".

First I think the poster is pulling everyones chain...But ha ha YEAH!!! StormeeJ I concur...and my machine is made to look like a .38 spl revolver so it's a gun toooooo... w00t w00t...I'm with you man...most of the 'tards that make these comments aren't even tattoo artists...just like most tattooists these days AREN'T ARTISTS...the only things these commenter's on you-tube "THINK" they know is that; "It's not a gun it's a machine" Just some shit they hear and repeat like parrots.

[StormeeJ]

There is no room for elitism in the tattoo industry. Everyone at one point called them a gun, and I don't know a single artist who didn't start off scratching.

Also, I was told by various artists that it was referred to as a "gun" because it shot ink into the skin. Not to mention...a gun, machine gun, pistol, etc...is ALSO a machine. Don't think you are a better artist just because someone else uses an old term or begins their passion by scratching and you "never did".

@m0nk3yTM so what do machine guns do then ?? :)

[Mickyboy1977]
