How do you keep from scarring your tattoo clients?

When tattooing your clients, depending on how big or small and what needle you are using, you will want to make sure the needle isn't sticking out of the tube too far. You want out just enough to where when you hit the foot pedal you see it. Also another problem is by how deep you push the needle and how hard you drag it across the skin. If you make sure your needle is okay and if you use Vaseline it helps with your sliding motion of the needle across the skin.

Is a round magnum tattoo needle the same as curved magnum tattoo needle?

This is talking about the tip of the needle. Standard is round, i don't know about curved, that's kind of scary, at least I have never heard of them, however there are tapered tips as well, which is probably what your talking about. Mag needles are stacked, if there is no stack they are also called flats. For the artist, tattooing is all about technique, and depending on your technique, you may choose to use a tapered needle, or a standard round.

When you were tattooing you accidentally pricked your finger through your glove now have a dot on your finger what will happen?

You'll have a dot on you the rest of your life unless you have it removed by laser surgery. If you were tattooing another individual, you may want to ask that person if they have any disease you may have possibly contracted. To be completely thorough, you should get tested. #1 rule in tattooing is ALWAYS be 110% aware of where your needle point is.
