This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeship
This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeshipThis site is not a substitute for a professional apprenticeship with a licensed tattoo studio. Nor is this site a definitive source for learning the art or trade of tattooing. An apprenticeship is the ONLY universally accepted way to learn proper safety practices and sound technique.
While we welcome members of all levels, we STRONGLY advocate staying away from skin until you've received formal training from someone who works in the field. Hell, even hair stylists must complete over a year of courses, pass a state health board exam, and apprentice under a professional studio before earning a chair.
The trade of tattooing has a rich history and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. If you respect the art, please show your respects by learning the right way.

Witch hazel....used to dilute inks...can buy at supermarket or pharmacist
Holiday....patches in solid colour fill that show up after healing, can be seen in a fresh tattoo by spraying water over tattoo and wiping Long Stroke/Short stroke....how your machine is set up allowing the needle to move up and down with short strokes or long strokes.
