Avoid DIY Tattoo Equipment Sites – Buy The Real Deal

by macwagen

If you’re interested in becoming a tattoo artist and you’ve done any research online about tattooing equipment, then you’ve probably seen a plethora of websites that teach you how to make your own tattoo equipment, such as tattooing guns or special tattooing ink such as white ink. Most of these websites instruct you on how to make the essential tattoo equipment from everyday, common household supplies. Some of the things that these websites tell you to use in order to make tattoo equipment are things like electric toothbrushes, electric guitar strings, or even certain kinds of pens and pencils. A lot of novice tattoo artists end up looking at these do it yourself sites after they look at the prices of real tattoo equipment, especially since many aspiring tattoo artists are young and don’t have a lot of money to put towards tattoo equipment.

However, aspiring tattoo artists can stand to learn a big lesson from their first tattooing supply shopping experience; that they should never sacrifice quality for price, and no matter how cheap something is, or if it’s free even, doesn’t even begin to make it a good choice: not for them and not for their customers. If you’re an aspiring tattoo artist, simply flip the tables: would you want someone putting a tattoo on you, which is going to be there forever, using a homemade device like an electric toothbrush instead of the artist using a professional tattooing gun? Before you begin to open up every kitchen drawer or every medicine cabinet in your house to try and construct tattoo equipment, do some more research and find out what some of the repercussions are of doing such a thing, as well as thinking about the fact that you’re sacrificing your name and possibly ruining any chance you have of ever becoming well known as a tattoo artist. No matter how talented you are, nothing will make up for the damage you could do to others by using homemade tattoo equipment. You run the risk of spreading diseases among people, causing infections, and of course, losing the respect and companionship of friends and family, not to mention your reputation, which is one of the most important thing you’ll ever have, and that’s not something you can find in even the best tattoo kits. Do yourself and others a favor and buy professional tattoo kits if you want to get started in the tattooing industry.
