You can pretty much buy your own tattoo machine whenever you want on the web. But it is very costly and not worth it if you have never tattooed in your life. If you've taken a class or such, then sure get yourself one! If not i do not recommend it because there are also a lot of safety measurements you need to take in consideration.
Yes. I'm also 2 years post aortic valve replacement and take warfarin and I just started a multi-session tattoo. I'm heavily tattooed and I did not want to give up tattooing. I consulted my cardiologists, and their response was that warfarin was not an issue as tattooing does not go very deep. However, bacterial endocarditis is a factor. They told me that no studies regarding endocarditis and tattooing existed in the United States, but that they encountered some European studies on it. They advised me that I should be discouraged from tattooing and piercing, but that it was my call. They also said that there was no evidence to show if antibiotics helped prevent endocarditis, but they couldn't hurt, so they prescribed me them anyway, which I took an hour before my tattooing. I have had my first tattoo session post surgery not too long ago, which was 3 hours in length. I did not overly bleed, and it's healing nicely. I intend to have many more. I'd consult your artist, warfarin specialists and cardiologists. However, this hasn't been a problem for me and I intend to finish my entire back.
Probably, but there's no real need for it: Tattoo needles, because they hone themselves against the inside of the machine while you're working, are self-sharpening for about eight hours - longer than your customer will be willing to sit for tattooing. Steel works fine and it's less expensive (by a long shot!) than titanium would be.
Around ten days tattoo is fully healed, run under hot shower straight when you get home to help take swelling down, cover with bepanthen every few hours

The hourly curriculum is determined by the location. In Virginia tattoo school is 750 hours long (http://www.tattoo-training.net). However tattoo apprenticeship is 1500 hours. These are the two accepted methods for obtaining professional licensure in this commonwealth. There are some schools, but a lot of tattoo artists go through a formal apprenticeship. They can range anywhere from one to eight years, depending on the mentor or the area, and also depending on the hours of the shop. For example, an artist can require minimum 40 hours a week for a year, which comes to over 2000 hours. Some shops may require more time, even exceeding 3500 hours per year.
I assume your meaning "what medications can i take before getting a tattoo", and the answer would not be asprine. Asprine are blood thinners and can cause serious problems, as can drinking. Do not take asprine or drink with in 48 hours before getting a tattoo.

In a henna tattoo solution, there will be finely sieved henna powder, an acidic liquid to bring out the colour of the henna, and possibly a little oil. Usually, when making your own henna tattooing paste, the acidic liquid will be lemon juice or tea/coffee (no milk or sugar). The oil helps to create a smooth texture for application, however too much oil will prevent the colour from "sticking" to the skin. I usually use a teaspoon of sunflower oil in the mixture. The tattooing solution should be mixed to the consistency of thick cream, then left to stand for 24 hours before using; this allows the lemon juice to really draw out the colour of the henna. You may need to add a little more liquid to the mixture before using it. In commercially sold henna tattooing solutions, the ingredients are far more dubious than what goes into a home-made tattooing solution. Check the label before using them, buy the solution from a very reputable place, and Google any ingredients that you do not recognise. Some people can have serious allergic reactions to a few of the more "dodgy" ingredients that are allowed in commercial henna tattooing solutions - particularly a substance called PPD, which makes the tattoos appear black. (In reality, henna is only ever a red/brown colour; never black).

In construction it means " Machine Usage Ratio " . It is the ratio of no. of hours for which machine worked to no. of hours for which machine was available.
Given the malady in question, you wouldn't want to go with your standard 2 coil tattoo machine, as these can be a bit heavy for some people and it gets worse over the duration of the tattoo. Since you are afflicted with this, I would recommend a rotary tattoo machine. These are substantially lighter than a coil machine, which will take the strain off of your wrist and hand. Still though, since you have tendinitis, I would seriously consider that you shouldn't really look into tattooing as a career option. Given that you already have this underlying condition, the fact that you will have to be using your hand and wrist for hours a day will most likely exacerbate the issue and will most likely result in you needing surgery to correct this later down the line. Most of us tattoo artists have some form of carpal tunnel or tendinitis just due to the fact that we use our hands so much and our wrists in conjunction, and that's even when you go into the game with no issues whatsoever. However, as previously stated, you would want to use a rotary tattoo machine if you would want to pursue this, even given the forewarning. You don't want to buy a cheap rotary, as these are little better than a "prison gun". You will want to invest some money in some quality rotaries such as; Stigma Hyper or any Stigma brand, Swashdrive Machines, Cheyenne Hawk, Neuma (but these sound like dentist drills!), or any other good handmade rotary machine from reputable builders. Depending on what brand you go with, you may have to get an air compressor and build a soundproof housing for this, as some of the machines listed are driven by pneumatic force as opposed to electricity. Best of luck.
