Yes but don't press down too hard as it could cause ink poisoning!
Usually I would be recommending people NOT to use India Ink, but if it is just for practice on fake skin, the India Ink will be more than satisfactory. Since what you are tattooing is more akin to plastic than skin, it won't bleed like it would in the skin, and will allow you to hone your lining skills.
yeah it does a little
Because you're taking ink out of your skin.
It scabs over. the white is probably dead skin, not the ink.
To get the best feel as to how fast you should go while working with tattoo ink, you should use tattoo ink, but for a melon you could save ink and just use India Ink which is much cheaper. This will allow you to at least play around with the machine and get a feel for it. You can never trust the results of tattooing fruit since the lines bleed out into the skin and they will look far less perfect than they might actually be. Once you've tackled melons, practice on your own thighs and calves. This will allow you to get a real feel for how fast to go with the machine, skin stretching, ointment application, puncture depth, shading techniques, etc. When you get to that point, of course switch over to real tattoo ink. Best of luck.

Use pure undiluted liquid Green Soap, which can be purchased at any tattoo supply shop or online. Green Soap also washes tattoo ink off of skin.
No, the ink goes no further that the skin.
skin candy
I have had a few allergic reactions from myself and other people when I use Smart Tattoo Ink. Real puffy and red skin, sometimes the ink won't stay in, I would sugjest StarBright.
MOM'S Ink, Skin Candy, Intenze, and Kuri Sumi. These are the only tattoo inks I trust and are most popular. Use the wrong tattoo ink and you'll get a crappy faded tattoo.
No. It does nothing but stay under the skin as a tattoo.
If it doesn't go deep enough into the skin then the skin could reject the ink or get infected.
Tattoos are permanent because a needle scratches the skin and leaves ink in the wound pattern (your tattoo design). The scratches then heal around the ink and seal it in. The ink basically becomes part of the body. by the way the ink is a special ink so dont think you can diy a tattoo with any ink
The ink is injected deeper that the layers of skin which are shed.
The main medical problem which can occur from tattoo ink is an allergy to the ink. Problems from ink allergies can take years to show up. The ink can cause rashes and marks on the skin.
Go to any tattoo shop and they should have ink for sale!
