The only way to clean a tattoo machine is in an autoclave which cleans with high heat, high pressure steam. It is the same equipment hospitals and dentists use.

Firstly Fill the spray bottle approximately halfway with white vinegar. Place the nozzle back onto the bottle, and shake the bottle so the vinegar moves throughout the inside of the bottle. Leave the vinegar inside the bottle for about 10 minutes.
Pull the nozzle’s trigger so the white vinegar goes through the bottle’s tube and out the sprayer.…[Read more]

Disposable Tattoo Tubes are the alternative for stainless steel tattoo tubes. Disposable tattoo tubes are recommended for any tattoo artist who does not have access to a professional autoclave.

An autoclave operates at a higher pressure than a pressure cooker (about 15 p.s.i. for pressure cooker 25 p.s.i. plus for autoclave) That fact alone dictates that it would take much longer cycle times to achieve the same level of sterilization with a cooker. It has been proven that an autoclave kills microorganisms better then conventional pressure cooker.

TSE (also known as prion diseases) are a group of progressive conditions affecting the brain and nervous systems of many animals and also humans.

To clean instruments prior to sterilization, make a fresh 1% detergent solution (2 1/2 Tbsp. per gal., 1 1/4 oz. per gal. or 10 grams per liter) in cold or warm water. Use Alconox for the standard tattoo equipment cleaning, or use Tergazyme (Alconox plus enzyme) for enzymatic cleaning where health ordinances may require enzymatic cleaning. Use…[Read more]

Purchase a chemical germicide that is recommended for use with tattoo equipment and is known to destroy bacteria and viruses that cause infections in humans. Submerge your tattoo equipment completely in a glass container filled with the chemical germicide.

In order to prevent the spread of disease and infection, tattoo equipment is sterilized before and after each time it is used. The most reliable and trusted means of doing this is to place the tattoo equipment into an autoclave, a device that produces extreme levels of pressure and heat to destroy contaminates. Autoclaves can be very expensive,…[Read more]

Always Make sure the tattoo artist washes his or her hands and wears a fresh pair of protective gloves for each procedure.

We line with color. The problem is often beyond the concept though. If you have a light outline like you are describing, once it blends in with the skin tone around it, you have not much there for contrast and it doesn’t look so good.

I believe it could cover it up, its also an option for those who get surgery and want to hide the scars.
But I think the marks should be white? not sure how tats look over red stretch marks.

Now just i checked your Facebook page. Design of the tattoos are just awesome. I really like it very much.

I bought the eikon 400 the day it was released, and im very happy with it. I run stigma hyper2 , fly2 and fk irons, plus a few others, absolute solid power supply lot of great options, runs any rotary without a problem.

Doesn’t look too bad. Heavy black work like this tends to scab up pretty good, in my experience anyways. I would disagree with the artist however and recommend you use some lotion on that, something gentle like aveeno. It will help the healing and stop the itching. Just don’t pick at the scabs. You may lose some color, but that is not uncommon e…[Read more]

yes it is normal..you got it on the inside of your arm where there is soft tissue of course that’s going to happen…it is a million little needles hitting the same spot over and over again..it’s just sore it will go away soon.

Set your needle. A tattoo needle needs to stick out of the machine tube about o.8 mm to 1.6 mm. These measurements will vary from person to person, as everyone’s body is different. Your needle and tube need to match; if you are using a three-needle , you must also use a three-needle tube.

1. The first thing you need is raw talent. Someone who can’t draw or color inside the lines isn’t going to be a good candidate for being a tattoo artist.
2. Then you need to hone your raw talent to develop talent into skill. Skill can come from fine art classes, working with a fellow artist, learning technique from books, or all of the above. On…[Read more]

Avoiding infection is important if you have a body piercing or tattoo. Poor hygiene and after-care can lead to complications, infection and blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B or C, or HIV. Choose a shop that is registered with the local council and complies with health regulations to minimize the risks.

As a tattoo artist I advise against it. The underside of your finger will be only noticed here and there at quick glance and no one will really notice it is initials…to them it will look like your finger is dirty with something just like when people do a fine line or small toe tattoo.

sometimes your skin rejects the ink…you don’t always have to buy the best of the best…sometimes even the skin rejects the color even if its black…try new type of ink.
