      hey guys.Its since I was a lil’ kid that I dreamed about getting a tattoo.but here there ain’t no pro tattooist and I really don’t trust those who claim to be so.So about six months ago I tried to do one my self with the stick and poke method but it scabbed too bad and none of the ink was left in the skin.then the second try was a bit better done with a homemade tattoo machine and it looked actually pretty nice but that one too scabbed and some of the ink just went out with the scabs so I decided to peel it off completely leaving a small scar.The same thing happened with my last attempt.

      At this point I was thinking to actually buy a frigging tattoo machine a liner if someday coming ahead I get the chance to go abroad and of course start seriously practicing.

      see I don’t aim to be a big time pro tattoo artist…I just wanna learn how to do the simplest celtic or tribal symbols and such all of them black and small just to keep it simple.I wanna learn and do them on my own but its really hard.I donno why but for some strange reason I am absessed about getting inked and I wanna do them myself.I’m not into complex and articulate designs.I’m into simple black tribals and such and I am good at drawing and sketching.

      so here is my story I am Wafi.Hope someone not thinking that I am too stupid will help me in this. :)

      do some research. the angel and such are VERY important when doing a tattoo. feel free to ask questions and such on the forums, buy the TMTT book from the site, and remember youtube is your friend :P

      WELCOME!!!Youtube was my best friend before my apprenticeship! Visit here, ask alot of questions no matter how stupid they may sound. It takes time, get yourself some machines, Ink, and needles, then get some oranges, grapefruits, or pigskins to practice on.. Hildibrant has some good kits i hear. If you get a kit off of ebay don’t use the ink and don’t use metal tips and tubes! Use disposable..Get some 1/2oz bottles of intenze zuper black, and intenze lining black ink if all you want to do is black tattoo designs, kit ink is crap and will not last a month in human skin..Learn how to set up your machines, learn different needles and their sizes, voltage and needle depth, The basis fundamentals of modern tattoo is a gook that will really help you with all of this, amazon.com..

      Hope this helps
