you cant really because the magnet in the compass controls and direct it the way it needs to go

Can you use a flat tattoo needle to make an outline like you can use a magnum tattoo needle?
You can if you need to, but I would not recommend doing this for a whole tattoo. Not that there is anything wrong with it per se, but you are taking at risk unneeded trauma to the skin with this configuration as opposed to using a nice tight Round Liner.
Can you give me an example of a map showing the directions of North South East West?

What do you have to add to a compass to make it in line with the earths magnetic field?
Nothing. That's exactly what a compass does ... as long as it's free to turn, and there are no ferrous metals or other sources of magnetic fields nearby.
How much do face painters make?

Is the boogeymans face tatooed?

Hw do you make a compass face the wrong way?
Hold a magnet in front of it and rotate the magnet around the compass. Then it will not point North/South.
How could you magnetise a needle to make your own compass?
Rub the needle across a magnetic surface...always in the same direction, don't go back and forth. This will magnetise the needle. Then float the needle in a dish of water. And presto you have your own compass
What must be done first to an ordinary sewing needle to make it a compass needle?
Magnetize it. Rubbing it in one direction against a magnet will do that.
How do you make a compass from scratch?
magnetize a needle by rubbing it on a magnet. Lie the needle in a shallow container of water, allowing the surface tension to keep the needle afloat. The needle will orient to north and south
What is the material to make a compass needle gold silver iron or copper?
Are you asking what material is a compass needle made from? It that is your question, you need to keep in mind that the material used must have magnetic properties. Research the Iron Triad from the Periodic Table.
How much does a compass cost to make?
cheap compasses can be around 3$, but more high-tech traveling compasses are usually around 30-60$
How do sailors navigate the ocean without a compass?
Since the needle on the compass is orient to due north the compass was used in concert with a sextant to prepare route maps. The compasses were used to make sure that north on the map was properly oriented.
How do you read a compass?
from: http://www.compassdude.com/compass-reading.shtmlBasic Compass Reading == == * Hold your compass steadily in your hand so the baseplate is level and the direction-of-travel arrow is pointing straight away from you. * Hold it about halfway between your face and waist in a comfortable arm position with your elbow bent and compass held close to your stomache. * Look down at the compass and see where the needle points.This compass is pointing due North (also 0 degrees)* Turn your body while keeping the compass right in front of you. * Notice that as the compass rotates, the needle stays pointing the same direction. * Keep turning until the needle points East like the picture below, keeping the direction-of-travel arrow and North mark facing straight in front of you.This compass is pointing East (90 degrees)* Important: This is a very common mistake! The compass needle is pointing towards East so I must be pointing East, right? No, no, no!To find my direction, I must turn the compass dial until the North mark and the "Orienting Arrow" are lined up with the North end of the needle. Then I can read the heading that is at the Index Pointer spot (the butt of the direction-of-travel arrow).Since the Orienting Arrow is usually two parallel lines on the floor of the compass housing, a good thing to memorize is:RED IN THE SHEDNow we know we are really heading West (270 degrees)== == == == == == == == == == * You computer screen: ____________ degrees * Your window: ____________ degrees * Your door: ____________ degrees * A lightswitch: ____________ degrees == == == == * Hold the compass level - if the compass is tilted, the needle will touch the clear lid and not move correctly. * Read the correct end of the needle. * Use common sense, such as knowing that if you are heading anywhere towards the sun, there's no way you can be heading north, northwest, or northeast. * RED IN THE SHED! * Keep the compass away from metal objects - even a knife, flashlight, or keychain can cause a false reading if too close to the compass.

A compass needle changes direction if the flow of electricity in the wire near it is reversed.?
The only way to make current flow through a compass needle is to connect a wire to each end of the needle. When you do that, the direction the needle points is completely determined by the wires, and it's no longer free to rotate. So I'd say that nothing at all interesting happens.
Does the red arrow on a compass point to were i am?
Half of the needle is painted red to indicate the direction of North. The red orienting arrow is marked on the floor of the housing. It rotates with the housing when the dial is turned. You use it to orient a compass to a map.
What does a opposite rays look like?
like a compass needle, north and south are opposite rays on the needle. same for west and east. 2 opposite rays always make a line, and they share the same endpoint <-----------@--------------@------------> (the @ sign is the endpoint of one of the rays)
What do you need to make a floating compass?
You would need a piece of cork or other soft floating material, perhaps polystyrene, also a needle and a magnet. stroke the needle with the magnet a few times in the same direction and them insert the needle into the floater so that it is horizontal when the floater is placed in water, place floater into a container of water, the needle will point toward the magnetic north.
