How to Make a Real Tattoo at Home by Tattoo Machine from Hootoo.com

It’s normal and common

to find some cool and

beautiful tattoos in other

people’s hands or heels;

it used to be regard as a

signal of bad guy, that’s the reason why some many gangsters

are fond of them. However, due to the increasing popularity

and prosperity in entertainers, someone likes cool and fashion

stuff moving his attention from other luxuries, especially

because of its mystery features. Take one of my favorite take

show host- little S for instance, who is one of the super host in

Taiwan TV talk shows, I love her not because her intelligence

and wisdom in the face of sudden situation in her programs,

but also her humor and cool personality. The tattoo in her heel

and hand makes deep impression in me. Another example can

be mentioned here is the homosexual movie- Tattoo, in which

the hosts imprint memory by tattoo. That can be love among

lovers or families. Tattoo isn’t only an action to create a tattoo,

a permanent marking of the skin with indelible ink by a hand-

held device- tattoo machine.

Because of its special meaning, more and more people would

like to get a tattoo by themselves. Here I would like to share

with you the detail steps of how to make a real tattoo.

The following things you should be packed:

Tattoo machine

Design display

Shaver

Thermo-fax

Stencil material

Variety of needle shapes and sizes

Inks

Sterilizing pads and bandages

Autoclave sterilizing machine

License

Nothing except tattoo machine is vital for a tattoo handler.

There are two kinds of tattoo machines available in hootoo, you

can choose any one of them depending on different situation

and various preference.

Rotary tattoo machine: Rotary tattoo machines were the

original machines, based on rotary technology, which was

invented by Samuel O'Reilly and improved by the tattoo artists

through the years. Rotary type machines use an electric motor

to drive the needles. Some recent upgrades include using an

armature bar to increase efficiency: a characteristic of coil

machines. Recently there have been improvements to make

this type of machine pneumatic, in place of the electric motor

used now.

Coil tattoo machine: Coil tattoo machines use an

electromagnetic circuit to move the needle grouping. There are

many variations, from single-coiled machines to triple-coiled

machines. They can be made from many different materials

and in many different sizes and shapes. Dual-coiled machines

are considered to be standard.

Though our title is persuading to tattoo at home, it’s not

tattoo by yourself, if there is possible, it would better to

sculpture by your friends. It’s really bloody to tattoo yourself.

First of all, buy some designed tattoo figures from some tattoo

shops or you can design by yourself or work with your friends,

or the best option is to search some in the internet and then

download them.

Secondly, thermo-fax should be on stage, while if your figures

are sticky, this step will be unnecessary for you. It can transfer

the figure onto a stencil, which is used to paste pattern to your

skin.

Thirdly, before tattoo, wash and sterilize your skin is

indispensable to avoid any possible dangers of infection. Wet

the limited skin with water and paste stencil should be the next

action.

Fourthly, full your ink can of tattoo machine gun with black ink

first, which is used to outline the main pattern with a simple,

circular needle. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt your skin too much,

though pains is inevitable.

Fifthly, add the insoluble colors with thicker ink depending on

diverse effects you need after wash and sterilize your first

tattoo skin again with soap. This time you need to take another

different size needles, generally speaking, if you purchase tattoo

machine needles from hootoo, they can offer you over 14 kinds

of needles. Flat needles are used for shading, and bigger ones

for color fill.

Sixthly, if it’s possible apply a sterilized bandage after clean the

tattooed area third time. It may bleed lightly for a short time

which can last from a few hours to a day. But the beautiful and

cool tattoo pays.

At last, place tattoo machine, tubes and needles in an

autoclave, it takes heating, steaming and pressure to sterilize

them.
