wow, i am a scratcher(doing tattoos from home) but i would never desrespect by basically demanding your help.lmfao i would be honored for your advise. the guy that started teaching me passed away and there are no apprentice opening around here. i started on myself, grapefruits, etc. didnt care for practice skin. i use only intenze inks except for kuro sumi. i sterilize and give clear instructions for after care. not all scratchers are bad. However, i did start tattooing because of local scratchers screwing people up pretty bad. yes we can give you all a bad name but some of us really care about the art. i apologize for the fuck nut who wrote that completley retarded post demanding your help. NOW, lol...... i use a machine i purchased from a chinese company and it has worked very very well the company was www.taomore.com it is the only chinese company i have seen that sells REAL intenze inks. They are made in jersey. I would like to have a micky sharpz for lining. is there anyone that sells thes under 200.00 lol! again sorry for the retard. you guys deserve more respect. not all scratchers have that attitude.
you really shouldnt be tattooing at all till you get an apprenticeship all the advice i can give you is to go to as many local shops as you can and offer to scub their tubes and clean up so you can learn to tattoo the right way because its doing more damage than good to be tattooing without guidance and you will have to unlearn those bad habits
your asking for cheap prices on quality equipment, your not going to get it, ill be supprized if you can get it at all considering your not a professional.you can make all the validations you want with what your doing, the fact that every scratcher says that same crap shows they feel guilty as you should, youve heard it before. would your old mentor be happy with you being a scratcher out of the house? if he was a professional in a shop he would be turning over in his grave. good job
