Everything You need To Start Tattooing Today!

I love love LOVE that the first thing he says is sanitation. I'm pre-med but also in love with tattoos (yet a broke college student) and the number one thing that has made me hesitate to getting into tattooing myself is SANITATION.

[@mynameislameso9920]

My first tattoo I had booked the guy didn't have anything wrapped up, didn't clean the chair after I saw someone else get off, and wasn't wearing gloves when wiping the last girls tattoo down after I just saw him leave and go handle cash, so I left and waited until I found a better place that was clean and sanitary 😂 the largest organ on my body is not worth the risk he was showing me he presented

[@justinsmet]

​@mynameislameso9920 don't blame you, that artist that sid that should have known that. Even though I don't do on real skin I still spray my area and machines off and then wrap all my stuff.

[@dezzyjones]

It'd be great if you could demonstrate some of this stuff on your own equipment for us absolute beginners who are trying to soak up the basics of the art form.

[@eggtoast3763]

Thank you, I literally got a kit bc I'm tired of waiting till I'm 21 haha.

[@aliengranpa]

Same! Just got a kit a couple days ago. How are you coming along 2 weeks in? I've done 2 tattoos on myself, 1 on my wife. Nothing fancy, but black stencils but so far so good!

[@aliengranpa]

@@eggtoast3763 you really SHOULD wait. I got my first tattoo when I was 13 and I regret it almost daily and I'm 51.

[@eggtoast3763]

@@aliengranpa yeah but I gotta practice somehow, if I'm going to tattoo other people I better get comfortable doing it on myself. I've been sketching on my thighs before I put a needle against it so if I do fuck up it's in a place no one will see. Thank you for your concern tho :)

[@aliengranpa]

@@eggtoast3763 I found out really fast that tattooing is nothing like drawing on your skin. For one thing, IT HURTS! tattooing yourself is tricky.

I just bought a tattoo kit with no clue what to do with it, wish me luck boys🎉

I’ve been looking everywhere for a decent list of things to start out tattooing. I jumped the gun and bought a tattoo gun that I think will work best for me, but couldn’t start using it right away because I didn’t have everything I needed because I didn’t know. This has been, by far the best list and you explain why these things are important. Please keep doing these videos 🙌🏻🙌🏻

"practive on fake skin" buys gun and instantly attacks legs

[@Tattooing101]

Good luck on your journey! 😉

[@unzin-rb6pm]

you are a very nice guy to just keep it simple, plain, honest, with enough detail to start - not too much since one has to learn from experience anyway. Much appreciated.

[@carpet5287]

my notes (stuff i dont have yet if u see this this isnt a full list) MadaCide CaviCide, gloves, barrier film, bags for bottles, squeeze bottles (soap,alcohol), plastic wrap, transfer paper, paper towel, distilled water, posicle sticks

[@GraphiteSamurai]

Thanks so much for this breakdown, I'm literally just starting out and stressed that I would miss important details ( especially the sterilization part) . Much appreciated!!!

[@dgx_art]

Thank you for the video :) I have a question please : For distilled water, for a person who don't tattoo often. Once the bottle is open, how long can we keep the water please ? And, distilled water is used for the green soap and to rinse needles ? Thank you for your answers :)

[@jennafrandsen9873]

You mentioned little details that make a big point (ex. Getting big enough cups for mags). Thanks!

[@Tattooing101]

Green soap? Or whatever solution for cleaning the tattoo while tattooing?

I'm from Brazil. You help me a lot with yours videos.

I'm Looking to get high quality needle cartridges. I am Using Mast brand ones at the moment and a Mast fold 2 Pen machine. I ordered a box of Premium finger ledge cart's. I have checked them out with my Jewlers glass and they all look good so far . I am still doing fakies until I am comfortable and know what I am doing. I love your video's you are like my mentor so far. I do NOT want to EVER give a bad tattoo so I am going to tattoo my leg first. I did do an apprentice program with a guy back in 75' and he didn't teach me right the whole deal was get em in and out as fast as you can. They did evolve into a good shop with great artist's but it took them a long time. Jay Wheeler has done work there. My big issue is what needles to use for the style of tattoo I am doing .

[@danielleSeren]

Can you put up a list at end of everything you have mentioned please x

[@StudioLB]

You've made this world a better place. Thanks.

[@sharpkontent]

Thanks for the written list in the description.

[@melbarbiexo9146]

Can you reuse the cartridges or needles when practicing on fake skin or on yourself? Or do they get dull

[@sheebitz]

Thanks so much for this! I’m going around looking for an apprentice and these videos are so helpful

[@miofreudendahl7412]

Hello! Great video! I was just wondering, do you need different types of alcohol for disinfecting your tools and the skin? Or is it okey to use some sort of universal spray?

[@jrod5375]

Great video the one thing I bought most of the essentials already but realized i missed a few thing after watching this thanks!

Amazing video thank you. I wanna start on fake skin but wanna start get this into my setup and know it fully before i ever go on any human skin

[@cryforaking3266]

i’m sorry this may be a silly question but if the sports wrap isn’t sterile, why don’t we have to wrap it in prewrap/cling wrap?

[@jenniferlopez7958]

What do you use to wipe off the ink while tattooing? The alcohol?

[@tanyacoelho8506]

Does myself really need wrap for my cord to my tattoo machine, bottles and gloves if myself is only tattooing myself? It is my own blood and such so can't myself just clean them after? What about using hustle butter deluxe instead of Vaseline? Myself has dynamic black and triple black and world famous blackout. Is that good

[@Tattooing101]

Yes you need to wrap your cord. Never comprise when it comes to hygiene. Regular cleaning does not guarantee killing blood Bourne pathogens. Yes you can use hustle butter, use dynamic black for lining, triple black for packing

[@demilove7571]

You’re an amazing teacher 🖤 can’t wait to get started 🌟

Hey there buddy. So do u have a video on which needle cartridges u should have starting off for options.

Can i buy sports wrap and covers for my machine off of Amazon/Shein etc.? I'll buy a starter kit from Dragonhawk and they have stuff like that but i found cheaper ones on Shein? Is it worth the extra money or is i okay if i buy the covers from Shein? Thanks for the answers:)

Did you start tattooing by teaching yourself or did you apply to be an assistant for a tattoo shop and learn there?

Can you get the primary colors in tattoo ink and mix them or would that cause problems?

It's much easier to just get the tones that you want instead of mixing them manually by yourself

Hello my friend A and D is t similar to vaseline? Can i put also vaseline on the skin while am tattooing? Thank you

DYNAMIC BLACK. is the most used black ink used in Tattoo shops and highly recommend for the Grey wash Drip technique. I would look into making Grey wash if your wondering about the drip technique

[@SuperShootah]

@nandoinkz8587 Thank you very much for your reply, I'll definitely look into it, so I'm assuming that the 6 drop and stuff is more for realism and black and grey designs?
