Simple Homemade Tattoo Needle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- This is the way I learned to make a tattoo needle. Its not very complicated, pretty much a needle wrapped in thread. But it works very well and hopefully soon I'll be showing you an example of how to use it.
Sorry for the bad quality, I'm still figuring out the best ways to edit and transfer video to my page. But thanks for watching!
Let me know if you have any questions. As usual all comments are welcome.
I got my first tattoo with a needle just like this back in 1993. Good times.
+oldschool grasa7 Google "Pazyryk tattoos". If they still look good after a couple thousand years, then probably his tattoo looks cool too xD
Pompadour84 same but I got my tattoo in 2010
Seriously this video isn't that bad. I mean this is just general information and common sense. Great video.
*sterilizes needle* *touches needle many times*
Thanks to this I started my own shop
Really
sophia * basically she probably tattooed her friends at school lol
Bruh. Low key same. First client next week . Btw I'm 14
aizawa shota oof
once i used a pencil that was higley sharpned and pen ink, i gave myself a tatto in math class
+overloaded gamig really??
Relax CreatorM yea, most of it faded within a month
i still have the top left of it
@@knucklehead9129 thats how you get infections, especially with pen ink
knucklehead WHY TF WOULD YOU DO THAT? THAT'S NOT A TATTOO JUST PEN INK ON YOUR SKIN
You have earned my respect
Well i certainly hope it does :) Would love to see pics or a vid when you're done.
It mostly depends on where you're applying the tattoo. Certain places on your body will be much more sensitive than others. But an easy way to find out is to go take a needle and test it yourself.
Usually, though, if your making dense lines the skin will go numb eventually.
Uh question how can you poke the needle to the skin what happened the needle not sharp enough to make a tattoo
Also I know I said i'd get a video up of me doing it but I've been a bit distracted since I posted this. Plus I'm still considering what piece I want to use for the sample. You never want to rush into a tattoo.
I will really try to get at least a short sample filmed this weekend, though, and posted this week so you guys can see.
Actually thats pretty much exactly how tattoo inks were first made. I think some are still made that way. When an ink says its carbon based, that means soot, ash. Burned material. That's how you get the black color often times. So Kiran, while I'd be very careful doing it, you could technically make ink that way yes. You'd be doing it like the ancients :)
Thanks Trippy! I appreciate the feedback
I think it is water based but once it dries it won't just dissolve like water colors. Take it from me, it can be a pain to clean up.
I haven't tried any other colors actually but I assume they will work just the same. Its possible colors will fade differently than plain black, but I'm really not sure. It'd be worth a little research. And if you do a tattoo, Id love to see it.
I usually just put a bandaid over it, i don't use any neosporin or anything because ive heard thats bad for tattoos. i just keep it clean and protect it for a few days to a week.
You should be able top get it at any art supply store or craft stores. Its called India ink, its a specific style and many brands make it. I'd look around online and see what people use but you can use a lot of different types. I used the cartridge for a fountain pen once and even a standard ball point pen once. Though the ball point pen ink might not be very good for you and I don't think it stays very long.
So its a win/win situation. You tattoo to make money don't you?? I have a pretty extensive homemade tattoo that I'm still, for some reason, quite fond of! Although, a day will come where someone will WANT to fix it and will be willing to do it for a fair price and then it'll be a TRIPLE win. lol If YOU ENJOYED your job, it'd be a win win for you too, my friend.. I'm GLAD this video was here, because I would like to try this on myself and am willing to accept any consequences... Thank you Blazer
not a problem, man! keep on keepin' on.
very interesting vid. I'm doing a heart on my ball of the hand with a simple needle and black calligraphy ink. It's doing pretty well.. takes it time though :D your video may help me a lot
That is a very good point. But I would like to say that I wasnt being careless. I have three small tattoos on my body, my friends have more than that, (larger ones too) and this is how they do it. None of us have ever had an issue with infections.
yes thats true. But the thread allows you to do more pokes with one dip, and the pencil just makes it easier to hold. Its a pain to do an entire tattoo holding on to a tiny needle :P
I used caligraphy ink, and I did it the day before yesterday, until now everything is allright. There was shellac in it, but that's ok, it's vegan and something from the insect Kerria lacca. I have used the Ink from winsor & newton for example :)
I just did one with calligraphy ink, I’m praying it works
Well it depends on where you are doing it. I think the wrist bone area would hurt more than like you forearm, for example. The skin is closer to the bone and that tends to hurt more. But it does go numb after a little while of you are making dense lines. I would just get a needle and do it without ink to test and you can see. but it does hurt, you kind of just have to it.
Let me know how it goes!
thanks this actually worked
For sure. I was mostly saying it for others who may read your comment. Thanks for the support, and for watching!
Can you make a video of you putting a tatto or your old ones?!
its not mandatory but It should allow you to do more pokes per dip if you use the the thread. As for the ash, I'm not really sure. I believe india ink and similar inks are made from something that has been burned in the absence of oxygen, so i doesn't actually burn away but turns totally black. idk though, I wouldn't recommend it without doing a fair amount of research.
Awesome, good luck!
Indian Ink. You can usually buy it at arts and crafts stores.
I can't speak to those people who call you up, for all I know they did absolutely nothing to sanitize their stuff. All I can tell you is that my friends and I boil our needles and we have never had a problem.
Video starts at 1:38
Well I'm not sure about my next tattoo video. I was hoping to do one of me actually tattooing after this one but its taken longer than i expected. I've been planing out, and making sure I want, the next one I'm going to do and that has taken quite a while. But eventually I will have one up. It sort of depends on how my drawing skills progress, since I draw the tattoos on myself. Thanks for watching though man
I know I know lol. Honestly the biggest issue is that i suck at drawing on myself and cant get the design on to even tattoo it :P maybe one of these days. I might consider doing a really simple one just op show people, but im not sure I want to do that yet.
No not unless you get laser surgery. However, if you intentionally make shallow pokes it will probably wear off. I think skin naturally gets rid of impurities. Thats why you have to make sure you get deep enough if you really want it to be permanent.
Don't bank on this though, i'm no expert im just going off what I've experienced.
You're welcome to alter my process as you see fit. If you're afraid of the thread go ahead and boil it. I've had no issues so far but it never hurts to sanitize everything.
I wish I can tattoo my self
Im 14 and it works ;D Thx
does it really?
Amber Joy Yes. Stick and poke has been around forever. The ink is the problem sometimes...Pen ink will stick around for a long time but can fade away after time, Also infections are usually because the needle was not sterilized or the ink was toxic. Look for non toxic ink or make your own ink. It’s not that hard and not expensive.
Thank you appreciate it
Workshop great tip of advies use aan belt to stop bloos flow for limbs workshop really well
Half of this video was him wraping thread around a needle attached to a pencil -__-
Can you use rubbing alcohol to sterilize the needle instead of boiling it?
I understand the concern you and many other people have with this way of tattooing. The problem I have is that you immediately dismiss it and claim it as being incredibly dangerous simply because we don't use modern technology. But people have been getting tattoos for thousands of years and they certainly didn't always have autoclaves. If you're afraid to get a tattoo this way, don't do it. I'm not saying everyone should, but for those who want to I'm here to describe my process.
Seeing how the only proper safe way to sanitize that would be in an autoclave I doubt its sanitary. Seeing that autoclaves are around $4,000. Also its a sewing needle, not cleaned after made or sealed air tight. Also last time I checked they weren't made out of surgical grade steel. So yes there are plenty of problems and I've seen many. Working at a tattoo shop Im the one who gets to fix all these little things and get the calls on what to do since there is a huge infection on their arm now.
will it work better with more than one needle on the end of the pencil
Yeah you would keep poking. If you do it too much though it can scar, so these types are generally best for lines and small amounts of filling in.
oh i know. i'm totally in support of poke and sticks, i actually have a small one. i was trying to say you probably weren't taking it as seriously as you might have if you were going to be doing a tattoo right away. "careless" was the wrong word.
I did a tattoo using stick n poke..but so lazy to start the next tattoo... Got to start...
you can make your own tattoo ink that's permanent and it stays
yes, use pencil graphite and crush it into a decently fine powder and slowly add drops of water to the pile of graphite and mix it very very well with your finger until it dissolves, then pour it into a toothpaste cap or something like that and there you go! permanent tattoo ink!
OFPS KRYPTONITE congrats. youve watched aps.
Alexandros Efthimiou LMAOO I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT
I appreciate it man
I have a few tattoos done this way and you never want to use pen ink. Not good for your skin plus it won't stay like good ink would. Just use the good ink and make sure to stretch the akin as you are doing the tattoo.
I used to do my 3 dots with pen ink and then I bought tattoo ink and did it with just a needle itself but this was when I was in juvie lol I want to cover it up the same way I did it lol
When are you naking your next video ?
No, pen ink will eventually fade and disappear...Did it myself years ago, faded away after a year. Indian ink is cheap enough and pretty available.
Cant you stick the needle in the eraser? Then wrap it? C:
India ink, you can get it at any craft store or online for relatively cheap!(:
What can I use instead of thread I dont have any?
I use the same ink xD but having a problem with getting the depth.
I didn't really explain it. You basically dip your wrapped needle in the india ink and poke it into your skin as deep as the exposed portion of the needle. You can go deeper or you may need to press harder (so the skin will be dipping in quite a bit) depending on the region. Repeat this a bunch of time to create a solid line or whatever you're doing. If its too shallow the ink will wear off really quickly so make sure to really poke it. It sort of takes a little trial and error :)
you could but I think the needle would be too unstable to really use it properly. It should be ridged
Can I use ash with veggie oil as an ink?
I did it its good like the ordinary ink but a lil bit stringy...
yes
In this video i am using a pin, similar to the kind that keep dress shirts folded in the store, except stronger. You can use a sewing needle, though, I have before. As long as its sharp you're good to go.
it ll really gonna work that
hi i don’t see a problem with him touching the needle am pretty sure he washed his hands, he probably won’t be using this, and also the needle is guaranteed to touch his skin a lot anyway uh
You can also use a lighter and hold it over that for a second.(:
hey i didnt had sound because my phone sucks but , this is for a permanently tattoo on my skin , right? and do i have to push hard with the needle in my skin to get in permanently.. because i dont think its logic..
No. Just push until you feel a little pop
Can i use a small nail
Yep, India ink is the standard for stick and pokes. I'm sure you can use other inks but some can be poisonous, I believe, so do some research if you are looking to branch out.
I'm really not sure. Do some research into what is in the ink and if it is potentially poisonous. I have heard that some people use fountain pen ink but I don't know how similar they are, and I know for sure there are different kinds of calligraphy inks. (Assuming you mean dip pen inks)
Could i use normal pen ink?
I bought mine at Hobby Lobby, but any art supply or craft store should have India ink.
you can't sterilize anything with boiling water you need to at least reach 273 °F to achieve sterility,a holding time of at least 15 minutes. and boiling water only reaches 212 °F
Dude. Boiling water can get hotter than 212°F -.-
U dont have to sterileze it like that you can just burn it with lighter and just poke it through some paper to get the black burning color off... I do it always and it wont do any harm to you...
if you use rubbing alcohol it could make an infection worst, and rubbing alcohol doesnt work entirely
... did it ever occur to you that he probably washed and disinfected his hands with a heavy duty hand sanitizer before touching it? also, this video is just a demonstration of how to make the needle. he didn't actually tattoo himself or anyone else with this, so i'm assuming he was being a little careless.
Were can u get Indian ink
What do you mean? Like delete the tattoo?
what kind of things do you do for aftercare
Does this stay permanent forever?
so is this permanent?
How much does it hurt?
Ok I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I've wanted a tattoo for like ever and I'm jus wondering if this will be permanent cause it's something that I am do my self without having to get papers signed by my parents (who won't agree to getting me a tattoo)
That's why it's bad because if you fuck up, that's it there is no going back its gonna be there forever. I suggest just getting one from a peoffecional with real equipment and high quality ink which will not cause infections
you definitely want to do a small one on your thigh or something then yo
Yes it will last forever. Not forever forever, they will slowly smudge over the years like all those old people's tattoos but it will last you yeah I've had mine for numerous years now.
are you for fucking real
+ganjaman 420 yes he is so shut the fuck up. this is the third time i saw your username in a snp how to.. hating on people who are doing what they want. ITS THEIR LIFE! THEIR SKIN! not yours !!! so shut the fuck up...
is there any difference between normal fountain pen ink and india ink?
I think fountain pen ink will work, but there are different chemicals in it to help it not harden in the pen and what not. So I would just do a little research first.
so fountain pen ink didn't any harm right?
arpn mitra I wouldn't think so but I really can't guarantee it.
I have done very small ones with fountain pen ink, but I'm talking like a centimeter long line. And it faded after a few years so I wouldn't consider it a viable test.
i did one with pen ink and yes it does work, but it fades over time. My tattoo went from being black to blue. Its better to use the india ink.
India ink has a more permanent ink structure. Most other inks are readily changed by the body or fade with access to sun. You can also use "archive quality" inks used for quil pens, but you have to realize ink that looks black could actually be the blue/black ink and it will look different than india ink which is black like pitch or hell fire. India ink is a type of ink, not a brand
what kind of ink is it? my sound isn't working well and is it permanent?
Does it have to be that kind of ink
does it hurt??
sara ludivine i did it not at all piersings do hurt much than that
Technically yes, but i think normal ink can be toxic in large amounts.
what type of ink was that ?
I think you can, but I've never actually done it. I don't see why not though. I would buy the strongest concentration you can get to be safe.
where do you the ink?
Why not use a guitar string...in jail we use to take the springs out of clicky pens then use a lighter and to fingernail clippers at each end then use the flame to straighten the spring while pulling ir apart
even if you boil it, I don't think that putting your hands all over the needle is sterile. I was surprised that you didn't hold the needle over a flame. lol whatever floats your boat
really you dont need the pencil or thread , all you need is the needle and ink.
is there any way to "delete" it ?
How much does india ink cost?
Thanks! :)
is it permanant or temporay
You can get tattoo ink off Ebay for $3, better than india ink, and colors.
where can i buy that tattoo ink and how much
he touches the needle after uselessly boiling it..........hmmmm
you wash your hands and u can wash them as many time you like
I like to lick the needle clean
Andrew P you also like to edit your own comments!
you dont need to boil it, just burn the tip with a lighter and wipe it with a rubbing alcohol cloth right before you start tattooing and its cleaner then ever...
ok , thanks man.
I'm not really sure. I think most ink will be permanent.
does it hurt badly???
Can I use pen ink?
