When it’s about tattoo guns and their usability, professional tattoo artists know very well how to select and use them to draw the best tattoo possible. The tattoo artist is the most crucial factor to consider if you decide to have a tattoo. The best way of knowing is to ask. Be sure the artist has the experience and has been doing it for a long time to get the best results for the tattoo you want.
Finding a tattoo gun is not very hard, but drawing a tattoo with it requires patience, skill, and hard work. There are a variety of guns readily available to purchase. It may take some time for you to decide because of so many options. But one deciding factor could be the money you want to spend on it. How much is a tattoo gun worth? Any starter tattoo kit might cost you from 30 to 100 dollars, and it would go up if you decide to go for pro kits.
Chances are it is very much illegal to have a tattoo gun if you want to use it without a license to tattoo someone else. In this case, you might sometimes wonder how to build a tattoo gun yourself? Or even is it possible? Well, it is. There are a variety of ways where you can make a tattoo gun yourself with ordinary, everyday use objects.
Technically, the only thing you need is a needle, a heating source like a candle, and a little bit of ink. You could even utilize burnt wood to make that ink if you don’t feel like buying it. In prisons, inmates use the soot to make a permanent black ink for tattooing themselves. All you have to do is heat up the sharp needle, dip it in ink and poke your skin with it. And you have a working tattoo gun. This method is pretty straightforward but not very applicable by all hobbyists.
You could get creative and make some reasonably easy-to-use tattoo guns on your own.
You could use a toy motor, a button, a pencil, and a spoon with a needle to make a mini automatic tattoo gun. Attach the button at the end of the motor. The button will bind the needle going through the pencil. It would make an oscillating electrical tattoo machine. Spoon is to create an L shape holder to bound the whole apparatus together and use it steadily.
Ready-to-use parts are also available. These are specialized parts when put together, turn into a tattoo machine. You could order them online and make a tattoo machine like you used to build an entire toy out of tiny pieces when you were a kid.
It’s your choice to go for either professional artists’ services or have a DIY project to experiment with your creativity and drawing skills. Be sure that the artist is skilled, experienced, and professional if you hire his services. And please make sure you sterilize all the equipment if you choose to make a tattoo gun yourself.
