how to make tattoo needles 2 of 6

ok a few people have asked for me to do this video on how to make tattoo needles so here it is. now i thought long and hard about this cause i didnt want the local hack to see this and think he was a master tattoo god....... but this wont teach you how to tattoo only make the needles, and it is becoming a lost art. out of 40 some shops in my area only two of us make our own needles (was told this by board of health) so i figure if i can help preserve a lost art form then that is a good thing and will out weigh any hack that learns from this. nothing beats an aprenticeship (ok i cant spell sue me) but nothing beats that NOTHING. so to all the hacks out there if your going to do this do it the right way and learn from a pro..... dont just get a starter kit and mess a ton of people up. surgeons dont buy scaples and think they will become a doctor do they???? not they learn and pay their dues and so should you..... if your worth while someone will give you a shot, if they dont well......maybe you dont belong in the business and if your not willing to do it the right way you dont belong so take the hint..... we call you guys scratchers for a reason so put down the starter kit and do it right.......

now if you have a question about how i'm doing something ask me and i'll explain it or make another video to show you. a closed mouth dont get fed and a question un-asked wont get answered.....or something like that anyway

@cbrown39xl ..... well seeing how I've been clean and sober for years now that shouldnt be and wasnt the problem... I know you see a long hair white tattoo guy and the first thing you think of is the party animal but ummm ya not all of us are stuck in the old tattoo stereo types that we had back in the 70's.... not sure why you thought that and dont really care and I could be a jerk and say stuff to make you look stupid but I refuse to play your game... but ya have a nice day

@BootlegPainting LOL!!! Yeah.... a lot of my friends used to come by the shop on a Friday or Saturday night looking for a party. They were QUITE surprised when I would tell them that I was going to go home and cook dinner with my girlfriend and watch a movie on the couch.

@amoemo1 ...its all good bud..just the way u reacted kills me.. and it's not you it's society.. i mean like I offer to play games and everyone acts like i want to kill or molest a kid.. it just kills me thats all.. if we was at a hobby shop nobody would think twice but since I'm not I have to be up to something... it's sad actually... but ya dont play many video games..now my son has damn near every system out there and loves to spend all day in front of the tv blowin stuff up...
