Can you use liquid eyelliner for tattoo ink?

No, no, no. If you want a tattoo go to someone who does it.


Is veterinary ink bad for human tattoos?

It's COMPLETELY different stuff, because animals are tattooed differently from people. Human tattoo ink is a liquid. The needle tube on the tattoo machine contains an ink reservoir. The artist dips the tip of the tube in the ink and the machine pulls it in. Veterinary ink is a paste used with this device that kinda looks like a big pair of pliers. The needles are set in the shape of numbers. The worker picks out the numbers needed, installs them in the device, spreads ink where the tattoo is going to go, squeezes the numbers into the animal, then rubs the ink in.


How can you protect yourself from getting hep b from a tattoo needle?

Make sure the shop you go to has a license, is clean and that they ONLY use disposable needles. If you don't see them pulling out a new, sterile needle each time they start a tattoo, then don't get a tattoo from them. - - - - - You're not likely to get a bloodborne disease from a tattoo needle. If you're going to get one from a tattoo shop, it will come from the ink. Tattoo artists don't like to use old needles, and needles aren't expensive--so, unless you go to someone who tattoos out of his house, you'll get new needles when you get a tattoo. The ink is a different story. It is expensive, and they can't use all of it when they give someone a tattoo. You put ink in a tattoo machine by dipping the tip in the ink and stepping on the footpedal, which causes the needle to pull ink into the reservoir. If you're refilling the machine during a tattoo, there's blood in the machine, which winds up in the ink. Some guys are tempted to put the unused ink back in the bottle. So...if you really want to see how good a shop you're dealing with, go watch them do a tattoo--they'll let you. If they finish the tattoo and immediately throw all the ink caps and excess ink into a biohazard bag, it's a safe shop. If they set the ink caps to the side for later, don't go there.


Is it a bad thing for a new tattoo to scab?

No. That means it's healing. Don't pick the scabs or the ink will bleed.
