I’m from the UK, so No it’s not a US A thing. The thing is about China is they counterfeit everything. inks are a No no from China you don’t know what they are made of or if they are sterile . Their electrical equipment is really bad and some are very dangerous . hope this helps.

Some nice drawings, the gypsy girl is very nice.

I totally agree, I would never do anything I didn’t feel comfortable doing, and gangs do their own tattoos don’t they ?

I have used a mirror to get to the back of my arm but how do you do there yourself?. .. Or do you mean did you design the tattoo yourself ?

Thanks for your comments. :D

I am self taught ,has been an up hill struggle to find out stuff, such as why your getting thin shifty lines . but if you have tried all the above then your machine needs tweaking as your needles are not going in enough. you have the needle at 1/16 but your machine isn’t pushing it out enough . look on you tube there are videos showing you how…[Read more]
