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.

Just buy the complete set of 4,  Or just use black ink watered down with witch hazel, That way you can make it as dark or light as you want it. -------------------- Be casual, Keep laughing, and cruise through life,

Technically your right, that would work. I personally think that the silverback is a waste of money. I make my own mixes with measured parts of distilled water and ink. They work just the same as silverback except you have to do the measuring. I use talons ink and love it.
