SUBJECT: HOW TO GIVE A TATTOO

Giving a tattoo is not as easy as asking for one. Knowing the basics and being prepared makes it a lot easier. Make sure the customer knows exactly what they want and you understand fully.

The steps to creating the perfect tattoo are as follows:

* Sketch what the customer wants and copy onto a trace ink paper. Set up the needles and the gun, opening all new packets.

* Put out all the colors in ink caps on a sterile board on top of vasoline so that they do not slide. Place vasoline on a piece of seran wrap and prep the customer.

* Shave the area the tattoo is being placed, wipe off area wife alcohol/soap solution and lay the trace ink print on the area.

* Load the needle into the gun and push the pedal down, dipping the needle into the ink at the same time. Remember to load the ink every time you let off the skin

* Wipe vasoline on the area you are about to begin on, repeat this step until finished with the tattoo.

* Wipe the ink residue off the area with the alcohol/soap solution and put a coating of vasoline on the are then cover with seran wrap.

If you follow these steps the process will be quick and painless. The customer will be satisfied with the tattoo and the artist.
