Good luck.

My mate did a 'course' at a studio.

The end of which got him his basic kit inks etc etc.

Also a cert to say he had done the course and a hygiene cert.

Got to practice on various skins and they have 'guinea pigs' who get tats for nowt!

Hi Rich

My mate does tattooing, around the back of here. If you want to, come over and have a natter with him.

Practice on pigs ears. He uses new needles and new ink pots every time. No sterilising

Good luck anyway.

Best of luck and all that.....i have a pal ive known back since school days who has been in the game over 30 years and still going strong today,he often comments how folk starting up now dont need anywhere near the talent he had when he started out.....he says its like comparing doing a dot to dot picture through tracing paper to natural artistic talent that can create a beautiful picture from nothing.

 

As little as i know im inclined to agree.......then again he might just be a bitter twisted old cxxt ! :D

AA stay away from the rotary setup they scrape the insides of your tube causing metal or plastic(dependes what tubes your using) shavings and if you want a good kit make yourself know around the local shops and get to some tattoo conventions i bought all my gear from tattoo shops and proper wholesales ie star catalouge :thumbs: if you need any info pm me :thumbs: and good luck ps forget the pig skin shit use your legs :whistling:

doesnt feel like the needle that is used when you go to the doctors or when you get a pierceing

feels more like a biro drawing on your skin with a bit of discomfort, except when you get a tattoo on more sensitve areas it can sting a bit! maybe more than a bit lol.
